I fully agree XP and Gold should be lost with any hit in range. Do not really care if the range is +/- 10, 50, or 100 every set can be beaten (yeah some are tougher than others).

My reasoning for XP loss:
I do not play the PvP rating game, for I do not have the game time to babysit my account 24/7. I also do not bounty players very often. When someone hits me, I want to be able to take 200k++ XP off of them. Right now, barely worth hitting back

Reason for gold loss:
Well, I like gold. It is the primary reason players are visited.

In short; it is PvP, without "real" gains and losses it is just a joke.

ADDED:

The ladder is much better after last update, good work HCS

Just give me my XP and Gold hits back :~)

I really wish HCS would open up for higher token rewards. To make the one and only set I want, Agiads, I need to either place 3rd 24 times, 2nd 12 times or 1st 5 times. :shock:

it seems there are still issues with the PvP ladder. even on the ladder page says the top 3 players in their respected PvP ladder band are paid out in tokens. if you look at any of the pvp bands there are top 5 players that are paid out. guess there is gonna be more updates coming. :?

There's also 1 more thing that can almost secure 1st position every 2nd reset-I wonder why more players aren't doing that,1 tried though...

Summary:
Please extend gold loss to the entire bracket
Please consider that the diminished token rewards require an exorbitant amount of work to gain enough Tokens to create items.
Please reply about whether or not people outwith of your level range should lose gold on the bounty board.
Please comment on attack ranges for players at the extreme ends of their brackets. Currently a level 400 players only has only +10 levels for experience loss and gold theft and the converse is true of a level 449 player.


Please extend gold loss to the entire bracket.

Even at the current rapid rate of resets the token allotments are so small that it takes multiple (4+) first place finishes to build a set over level 383.

Currently when attacking someone on the bounty board you do not take gold from them unless they are with in +-10 levels of you, unless you are at the end of your bracket. In which case your bracket becomes the new restriction. So a level 499 player can only take gold from players level 489 to 499, as a level 500 player would be out of his bracket. The same is true for the lower end of a bracket. A level 450 player can only take gold from 450 to 460 player on the bounty board.

Additionally, when hitting in direct pvp players at the extremes for their brackets are limited to the people they can hit for gold. Once again a level 499 player only has the possibility to hit in direct pvp levels 489 to 499 as the top bracket restrains his pvp targets. Conversely, a level 450 player can only hit 450 to 460 for gold.

I feel that if you opened up the entire bracket to gold hits this would cure the issue with limited targets at the extremities.

I feel that removing gold theft limits from the bounty board should be enacted and I wonder if it was an error that these limitations were put in place. The gold stolen from players while clearing their bounties was one way to cover a minimal % of the cost to PvPers.

On a smaller note the attack player page offers players to attack that are outwith my current bracket. Offering me targets I can not attack.

Please any response to any of these issues would be greatly appreciated.

I like this update. I feel pvp is becoming more like a fair competition and bringing in new and old people. Good work listening to A LOT of feedback.

My only critique is to put gold loss outside bands back on the BB. Other than that, I likes :)

Experience needs to be taken from the entire band, or it encourages teamwork, aka trading rating, and that should be reserved for gvg.
If you have nothing to lose but rating, why not 100 stam a buddy?
Having gold limited to +/- 10 doesnt matter to me, and won't affect trading as they can not have gold on them anyway, or just give it back.
If a person can place a bounty on you for an attack though, you should be able to steal gold from them too regardless of level. Bear in mind, I do not hit for gold myself, but it isn't fair otherwise.

also,
The price of nuryns gemmed has already dropped to as low as 425 min bid. If tokens don't offer some really good consumable items to be purchased with them quickly, all these new pvp sets will be as common as SE gear, and the tokens will be ruined like RP.

Still love the new ladder! It made the game fun again.

Opt out for pvp overall

I hate being attacked by point or gold hungry kids just as much as I would hate being burglared two times a week only to see the police protect the laughing burglar.



Pvp is not saving FS, Pvp is destroying it, except for a few.

Agreed - PvP is making players leave the game, and that's not something the game or, more importantly, the cows, need ...
