Normally i only hit for gold, yes. I'm just trying to get feel for your intentions for pvp as a whole. Your reply tells me you're try to nerf pvp down even more than you already have.Now what if we dont want to hit them for pvp points? What if we want to hit someone to take their exp? Will we be able to do that? This is still a pvp game isn't it?
I think the higher reduction on xp loss is better to be honest. If you trying to build up your PvP Rating, why is xp loss such a big deal?
Also we don't want to make it essential for levellers to get PvP Protection - I think the 75% reduction will help make it fairer to players not interested in PvP while removing the need for the opt-in/out.
I thought your main concern was hitting for gold?
If you are looking to hit to reduce xp, then attacking a player with 0 PvP Rating will still remove xp (albeit with a 75% reduction). Hitting a player with a PvP Rating will remove the normal xp.

All to "fix' a mini game.
I do say I have to agree here, xp loss should remain the same regardless of rather you are partaking in the ladder or not. It will give those non pvpers more reason to place those bounties, giving us bounty hunters something to do. Also causes people to spend more gold and fsp to place and accept those bounties, and a stam sink to clear them. I think if you lower the xp loss you are effectively saying Yes this is a PVP game, But we dont want you to feel you have to PVP.

He is correct in calling the ladder a "mini game" as it is no more pvp than the "pvp" arena.
You cant use a single thread or update to fix them both, because they are not the same, and havent been since tokens entered the mix.
PvP used to be for taking gold, exp, and rating was to measure how good you were at that.
Now rating is used to determine how many tokens you can get, and dominance medals show how many times you opted in, and talked all your buddies into letting you sit there for the first day knowing a reset wasnt possible yet.

How would a 75% reduction in XP loss kill PvP? It is not a 75% reduction in gold loss. The PvP players still get what they want, the gold. All it does is help protect those of us not interested in PvP and allow us to play our game. PvP players lose NOTHING by reducing the targets xp loss. It just REDUCES what those of us not interested in PvP lose, we STILL lose SOMETHING.
The only way this would kill PvP is if they PvP players are all just out to de-level those of us that are not interested in playing their game. Are you saying all you want is to be a bully and beat down others?

[*]If you are defeated in combat (attacking or defending), you will lose 50% of the equivalent PvP Rating you would have gained if you won the combat. Note that your PvP Rating can never be reduced below 0. Note also you can only gain PvP Rating when initiating combat.
Can someone tell me if im getting this right?. Lets's say just for example that two people have a rating of 10. Person A hits person B and wins, and (again for example) gains 10 rating. Person B would then lose 5 dropping them down to 5 in total, and person A is now on 20. So Person B attacks person A, and gains 10 - putting them up to 15, and dropping A down to 15. So by attacking each other each winning once and losing once, they both gain from it..
If the gain for a win is higher than the loss for a loss, people can trade hits hourly and both gain rating as long as they keep similar figures??
Or am I just being braindead and missing something obvious?
Sorry to quote myself, but can anyone answer this?, because if it is the way it appears to be it's a pretty fatal flaw in the system, and just about the most easily abusable implimentation ever..

Good question. I know why there is XP loss on the BB -- it is the only punishment a gold-hitter suffers from it.Why have XP loss at all?
And I know why there is XP loss on people competing on the PvP ladder -- otherwise, ladder competitions would just be perpetually won by the people with the most stam gain. XP loss is a kind of "Fatigue" that encourages every PvPer to exit the field and recover occasionly.
But as to why non-PvPers have to lose XP when they are attacked -- I see no reason for it other than to give PvPers a way to harass levelers. What's your reason?
As I stated earlier:
XP should still be lost no matter what the reasoning behind it. When you are defeated in PVP, you are killed, period. When you are killed by a monster, you lose XP and gold. When you are killed by an SE, you lose XP and gold. When you are killed by another player, you lose XP and gold. You are hunted, just as any other leveler or hunter hunts monsters or SEs. Just because you are getting hit by another player doesn't make it a reason not to have XP loss.
On a side note, it's only 75% of what it used to be, so it's barely anything significant imo.

Liked being able not to enter the Ladder at all and being able to choose to actually participate.
I mean atm it costs 100fsp for each 28days, this is quite allot and even if you make that 50fsp its to expensive for most.

Bound potions
Im still at a loss to understand why the pvpers are constantly being treated like a 2nd class player. Can someone give me one valid reason for this? There is no other aspect of the game given so many restrictions including the recipe levels, binding rewards and the whole opt in thing im glad is being removed now!
Lets examine a few other game aspects and see why I feel like we are being discriminated against,,,,
Titan hunting,,its been proven there was and probabally is cheating going on but the guild that wins the 50% gets a unbound epic item worth many many FSP
Arenas,,,nobodys complaining the arena players have a monopoly on the resources to make several nice recipes, nobody demanded level restrictions on inventing those and I know of a few potions that are WAY better than what is available elsewhere the example being pot of greater cloak WHY ISNT THAT BOUND?????
GvG, id like to slip in a plug to ask for new gear for RP rewards please but saying that why arent those items bound?
There is no other area of the game that discourages hard work for reward more than pvp ladder. I would like to challenge everyone to change my mind on binding of these items and give me the reasons why we should be segregated from the rest of FS in this way because currently I have to say strongly disagree unless someone wants to give us a example of these potions and why they should be bound,,,maybe they are just so powerful they had to be? A 24 hour deflect or 48 hour cloak perhaps? The arena cloak is 10 hours with BM so they should be way better than that UNBOUND potion to justify it.

1) Each of the other 99 players could gain rating once per reset by hitting me.
Your first interpretation is correct - each player can only gain PvP Rating from a player with 0 PvP Rating once per reset of the PvP Ladder. Assuming the ladder resets every 3 - 4 days, this means it would only be worthwhile for each player on the ladder to initiate combat with a 0 PvP Rating player once in that time frame (and they would have a 75% reduction to the xp loss).
I'm disappointed; this just makes for more bunny-farming.
Given this interpretation, I think a 75% reduction is too small; I would prefer 90-95%. What many don't seem to realize is that this interpretation is going to lead to a massive increase in the number of hits on non-PvPers every reset. Most ladder players are going to hit everyone in their range every reset. Potential ladder participants, please weigh in. If most won't farm bunnies, it won't be as bad as I think.
I believe that the massive increase in the number of hits that a beginning player takes will drive many of them away from the game.
I thought my interpretation #3 was the most balanced one: only one player can gain rating by hitting me once per reset. With that one, I would say a reduction of 30% or so for XP loss on 0-rating players, because the volume of hits won't go up nearly as much compared to now.

90-95 % reduction...ARE YOU JOKING? they offer 75% reduction and you still complain? WOW

Until there is a way that all facets can be addressed, it will never be 100% fair for everyone. Which either means dividing PvP into different groupings (not so easy since many practice different aspects at once) or sitting down and having a beer and saying 'Yeah, I can live with this'

Is 100 rating the max amount a player can achieve on an off-the-board PVP hit?
I'm still not going to vote until this question is answered.

Hrrm, that seems a little too favorable to us levelers. If there are only 5% of the people playing the ladder, only 5% (aprox) of the levelers will be hit for rating. No mistake, that's good for me, but I think it forces the PvPers into a an isolation zone too quickly.each player can only gain PvP Rating from a player with 0 PvP Rating once per reset of the PvP Ladder. Assuming the ladder resets every 3 - 4 days, this means it would only be worthwhile for each player on the ladder to initiate combat with a 0 PvP Rating player once in that time frame (and they would have a 75% reduction to the xp loss).
I think you can do better.
If you are going to implement this by adding a new flag that is set when a player attacks an R-0 ("Rating=0") player, I suggest using a counter rather than a boolean. Then, you can tune the system to allow a PvPer to gain rating from 1, 2, 3 or 4 levelers -- whatever seems to strike the right balance -- and perhaps on a per-bracket basis.
That isn't a bad idea actually
Limiting the amount of times you can gain PvP Rating from players with 0 PvP Rating each reset sounds good.
