#922320 XP Loss By Bounty Hunter

Posted by Bunnybee on 03 March 2015 - 20:11

What took the "spark" out of the Bounty Board was so much more than one thing... Let's add all the discouraging new practices effecting PvP(take your pick) such as PvP protection, attaining Stomper points only on BB and Ladder, Prestige only earned every 3rd day, and the awful gold thieving and MT rates. On top of that we could add the lack of any real rewards/incentives to PvP. The lack of PvP is what has dropped Bounty Board activity, not one little aspect of the BB. What started this is the constant capitulation to making the game EASIER, making xp loss nearly non existent. I'm a little shocked it has taken this long for acknowledgement of a problem.

 

There's my two cents.

+9

 

I'm all for experience loss wherever, sounds good to me. But talking about experience loss while bounty hunting does seem a little like debating how to roast a bunny that's already run away. 

 

What bounty board? 

 

And that was a big part of this game to a lot of people, and they would like to see it resurrected. Give people more reason to engage in pvp. Regular 100 stams counting off the board toward the medal, better gold takes, more reasons to hold gold. Something! (Everything?)  :P

 

So yes, exp loss for bounty hunting, absolutely. But the health of the board itself should also be addressed. 




#921980 Potential Scripting Detected - Movement Too Fast

The sooner scripting is removed and ALL cheats perma-banned, the sooner the game will start to recover its integrity ...




#921979 Potential Scripting Detected - Movement Too Fast

The built in fast walk only works on the old map (if the code still works). You can not disable all FSH features, just some of them. Do you have FSh running (even with disabled features) while titan hunting? If someone wanted to cheat with fast walk, it would be easier to modify the old banned scripts, instead of trying modify an already complex script like FSH.

I tracked someone soloing a titan last week doing 1400 kills per hour not in a small realm....2 players who compose have not logged off in months they can do so with impunity as Hoof and Zorg are tied up chasing other things..meanwhile the integrity of all HCS games is being demeaned and devalued. however players are doing these things needs to be stopped if that also involves permanently banning helper then I support it...the game is and was playable before it came along and in fact had its highest active player base before helper ever appeared.




#921469 Quit setting us up for failure ..

Hide Top 100.
Hide pregression bar for each Tier, just say: "Gold Tier Acquired".

I say for myself, I hunted a Kojin in the before the end, lefting me 5k stamina to burn. I didn't burned it on GE, just because I knew I would nnot reach Top 100, I saw the community far from Ruby.

So why would I bother to do even more kills? (I did 8500 kills at the first day already).

I believe a LOT of players think that way, give a try to an event without showing Top100/Progression Bar, make it on a small Frag Event. I believe the activity will be raised.

I voted no. Unless this is just an addition to the arena and wouldn't effect straight PvP.

Whining goes both ways...

 

Solution 1: Do what the polling says. Open the poll game wide, I don't think the results change. Do whichever the game wide poll says.

 

Solution 2: +/- 10 as usual with opt in to go +/- 100 (which only works when other players also opts in to +/-100)

 

Solution 3: Make it completely open... no restrictions (except for maybe 1-100)

 

Solution 4: Increase range, reduce protection costs.

 

The off topic fun - I love the hypocrisy:

- Don't label us you whiners, scaredy cat, fear mongerers who are afraid to play all parts of the game.

- We only PVP for honorable reasons and having our players backs. Saying mean things in forums against our interests included.

- I can't believe the nasty PM's I get when I steal someone's xp and gold. That darn Jedi spouting off in the forums about trying to get more of the general FS population to embrace PVP! send him nasty PM's now!

- I love PVP. Let me send my guild and all my friends after you.

- I can't believe people don't play all parts of the game. Man I hate ___ so boring.

- You know PVP was in it when you signed up. It says so clearly right here "An active and dynamic community of thousands of other players." or is it here? "Players enter the world and explore, adventure across a vast number of realms with thousands of other players"

Solution #5. Let HCS code the game how they want to. It's theirs, after all. 

 

I've seen you mention PM's a couple times recently, chewy. I hope that's not directed at our conversation. I actually thought that went quite well.

Thank's for your input, it added so much to the ongoing dialogue.

 

Thank you.  I assume you are not being sarcastic.  I'm sure we all look forward to the Cows' official changes, but until then.....the current rules stand, don't they?  No point in arguing this.  If BG deems the attack ranges too narrow and decides to widen them, then golly gee, I suppose those opposed will "have a cow".  Will they leave?  Doubt it.  But if they do, there is always Habbo Hotel or Club Penguin (as Calista puts it, nice pillow fights).

2nd line, 4th sentence of my post that you quoted: "If you put this poll on the Home Page I'm relatively certain that percentage would probably climb to 75% to 80% of the FS population as most don't come to the forum."

 

Your relative certainty means nothing to me, or anyone else.

Many of those who want the ranges extended is in the group of players that like to bully other players and attack them only to provoke and harass in a legal way. I believe nothing good will come out of this and voted no like the majority and hope this will be left unchanged.

 

I assume most players are of the age of majority?  Then why so much fear, whining and (completely melodramatic and overplayed) talk of bullying?  Get a grip.  This is a game, its not bullying, and as I have stated as fact, XP and gold theft has been around since day one.  The only thing that has changed is the sensitivity and complaining of players.

 

The old days saw real action, interaction, guild dynamics, defending one's mates, etc... Now we have a bunch of "1 to 8 'ers" racing towards an ever heightening ceiling.  How will that sustain the interest of players?  Which is why we always need a yin to the yang.  Always.  Its human nature.

 

I've started a thread/rethread regarding our events (up in a few minutes).

They never have proof, Yote.  Just a lot of unfounded accusations based on some bad experience their friend had 4 years ago or whatever. Ask them for details, and they can't give any.

 

I voted yes for the increase as well, and gave perfectly good reasons as to why I did so that have nothing at all to do with bullying. I find the accusation insulting and unfounded and just more hype to try and force things their way. I'm not a gold hitter usually, but I'm in the same boat as Yote with only a handful of active people in my range. I think everyone is open to working out how much of an increase should be put into place, but there is little question as to the need for it.

No credibility because I dabbled in pvp? I got the smasher medal for defending my guildmates. Which is what pvpers keep saying we non-pvpers should do. Now all of a sudden this means I have no credibility, mind = blown. Double standards got to love them. 

 

Defending guildies, 100 + times, doubt it.  Not everyone is as easily convinced by ramblings as others.

 

So, did you dabble, or defend.  Big difference.  Which is it?  Which will save your 100 prior postings some face?

Its Funny Do we all play a game called Fallensword? The lengths that some people will go to Avoid playing the game is crazy.

I don't want "safe" PvP, and I don't think leefy does either.  I have "safe" PvP... I GvG for my guild every weekend.  It's kind of fun, but not near as rewarding as run of the mill PvP.  The XP loss, the risk of the bounty, just add to the excitement.  Hoof has already said that XP loss will remain unchanged.  The debate about that was heated, and although I can understand both sides, I  still took a lot of heat about my opinion on that matter.  I won't rehash that here, some of the messages were nasty and downright rude, and I cba to have to look at such again.  This isn't about those things however, and I won't debate them further.  This will be my last post here, so I'll make it good:

 

I support this idea.  An increase in attack ranges for the higher levels is long overdue, like years long overdue.  The last increase was in 2009 (?)  and EOC was less than half what it is now.   FS has grown, attack ranges really need to grow with it.   Give the big dogs equal opportunities to appear on the bounty board, if that's what they want....  and if you don't want to be hit, buy PvP protection and put away your gold.  Unless you are actively provoking one and bringing attention to yourself, your odds of being singled out by a so-called PvP "bully" are actually quite small... and if you already have one of those, this kind of update really doesn't change things, now does it?




#920065 Revenge Attack Option For Returned Attacks

Posted by Filletminion on 17 February 2015 - 12:44

It is so easy to gain levels back twice a year in xp events with all the uber buffs you can do it for under 500 stam per level ..that is part of the problem..Another part of the problem is going to be composing and how easy it will be to get super stat boosting buffs in 6 months time .. Players no longer have to level to gain buffs that were previously out of reach now for  a couple of hundred million gold a level 300 can have sh 400 ke 350 coa 350 etc etc these things are cancer to the game.. And long term will cause nothing but headaches.

 

The loss of diversity within the games players has only added to the polarization that began 5 to 6 years ago..content updates are great but real meaningful game updates are rarer than hens teeth..
