I know I'm not alone in being unamused by the brats running around unsupervised and attacking unsuspecting players. Really, what's the point? To prove you can act like a thug?

If we could opt out of open PvP activity, it would free the player not interested in interrupting their game to change gear, deposit gold and place bounties to get on with just playing the game how they'd like.
If you want to have the brats run up behind you and mug you then by all means, Opt in.

I understand the PvP arena. Two players go in to test their skills. This open poaching just chaps my hide. I think the worst part is letting them get ANYTHING for their efforts. Then they get a friend to take the bounty and cheat the player they attacked once again.

BIG hole in the plan HCS. I'd love to see something done about this.

Chill.... this is a game... and PvP was here from the beginning, when you created an account.

It's easy enough to avoid.

There are so many reasons to PvP.. Not necessarily to prove that you're a "thug" or whatever you feel like calling it. Sure, many people don't like PvP but it is a part of the game and always will be so. You knew about it since the beginning, yet you continued playing the game. Therefore, you agree and accept PvP is a part of the game you play.

learn how to not be a target in 3 easy lessons...

#1-dont make topics like this

#2-keep your onhand gold low...it may take a few more minutes in your hunts but at least you'll retain it

#3-just start hitting them back repeatedly and see how they like it

LMAO! Someone must have been attacked recently.

You have an ironic game name since 'war' doesn't sound like what you want to 'bring' being overly sensitive to losing small amounts of xp, gold or time. Solitaire sounds like a better game.

Just get Deflect 175 (350) and you will be safe from most attacks

It does appear that PvP is here to stay.. and there is a lot of people running around mugging people for gold and/or PvP points...

How about making one little change to the system and allow someone who has been randomly hit with a 100 stammer .. that they can give one back without the fear of being put on the Bounty board and de levelled.. ** eg: Player A discides to rob player B .. then Player A runs 2 risks one that he will be just put on the BB and maybe lose some levels.. and two.. that player B could then sometime in say the next 48 hours hit/rob them back.. but because player A was the first to hit.. then he does not have the option to place player B on the BB for that hit.. **

Maybe it would be hard to code .. but is a fairer way of doing business.. keeps the muggers in check a little bit and make them think about who they are hitting if they have to potentially cop one back**

Well that's what most PvPers want right, to be hit back? So I'm sure there will be no argument

Have the player able to make a bounty-free revenge hit?


Have it to where bountying the guy voids the ability to do so. There should be a confirmation on whether you want to take your revenge hit and start the little duel between the two players.

Have it to where if you take the revenge hit, you two can sit there and smack each other all day with no rating exchange and no bounties.... purely for purposes of battling it out?

To leave that little death pit and be able to bounty the other guy, you'd need to not hit him for 12-24 hours.

This way, if you want to fight your own personal battles, you can do so without bounties.

just a thought....

Then everyone is happy.. the mugger gets his masochist kick.. by getting belted back .. and the poor old leveller get a little bit of self esteem back .. without the fear and in some cases .. the certainty of losing levels.! If they just want to continue slashing away at each other.. then that is fine as well.. but the bounty always comes down to who hit who first unless player B hits twice.. then he is on the board!

Thankfully!

It's the ones always complaining because they are not playing but one half the required portion of the game because it gets in the way of what they consider more valuable, xp.

Yep, that's what I suggested earlier. When somebody is attacked first, give him the option to:
a) bounty with max XP loss proportional to stam used
B) hit back with stamina same or lower as the initial attack and without the possibility of being bountied.

If this is applied to every attack, it also solves the problem of repeated attacks while the victim is asleep being treated as one.

What we're really after is to claim your soul as a sacrifice to Gurgriss, the god of War, hoping he'll bless us with strength and courage as we stand on the battlefields of Erildath.

How about a Deflect 200 potion that costs like 500K gold, available in the Specials part of the Auction House? Folks will still be out the gold, but on their own terms, rather than someone else's.

Plus, it'd be a great gold sink for HCS, since the gold goes out of the game, rather than to the PvPer.

these kind of posts are my favorite no matter how bad a mood im in i always laugh at it.

Especailly because putting up a post like this is like putting a giant neon kick me sign on your back

and the op really picked the wrong name if he didnt want to pvp maybe call yourself cudlebunny or something instead

the bio was the best part,,a pity im 11 levels above since the bounty the hunter part particularry intrests me

I'm OFF now

PvPers- You really don't want to mess with someone who wears a chain maile Thong. It chafes and makes me cranky.

I get hit - I bounty. That includes Bounty hunters.

I really, really hate getting robbed. My gold is my guild's and my exp is hard earned. Get your own.

Vermin and leaches not tolerated.

All others-
Have a truly Fantastic day!

Because it would kill PvP which is an essential part of the game.

Any other questions?

There is an opt-out. It's called logging out.
