Yeah theres so much more but this game requires so much work lol. Or being PvP flagged gives a higher harvesting/better drop chance, there just is no reason to flag beyond the obvious PvP missions, but even then you are not gaining the same rewards in lower level zones.

I mean there are so many things that could be done to encourage PvP, even the minor zones inside the main zones should be cappable to give better drop rates (you can see them as colored in zones with a yellow hashed line around it), similar to how forts are capped. This is a very simple way of ensuring that people can still consistently PvP but there are consequences, this is similar to what Albion or Eve have done, I know some people will say “then I quit” but honestly in this day and age how do you compete with other MMO’s doing literally the same thing.Īlbion and Eve have taken up niches which is why they are successful, but as I’ve seen multiple people say in this forum “I’ll just go play WoW/FF untill it gets better” you really want to try and compete with those games?

I think the main thing is that pure PvP can work, but full loot won’t be turned on, for example if you are flagged you should be able to attack unflagged players but then a bounty will be put on your head. As if trying to code for human behavior is anything but complicated. I tried to make failsafes and mechanics to discourage ganking, and encourage fair fights, and a bounty system to punish low-level ganking. Or, as we have it, to allow people who WANT to PvP to opt-in. Literally the only solution, full stop, to prevent max level players from trolololing across people who can’t fight back is allow people who don’t want to PvP to opt out. Now those people are flagged at a low level, and ganked. What about low-level missions that take people out of the first zones? Still not fixing the problems with PvP.Īlso what if someone is trying to travel across the map at level 10-15 to play with friends? Solution 3: Make it so you’re safe until you leave the newby beach/low level zones.Īgain max level toxic PKers can just camp around that zone’s border & gank people who are level 10-25. So now, when you flag up, you literally have 0 safe zones and are getting ganked at level 10 again. Well, if one faction owns the entire map, you cannot pick to join that faction.

Solution 2: Make it so you’re only flagged in enemy territory. This means people 50 levels higher can now gank those people. Welp, faction picking happens at level 10. Once a faction is picked they are flagged to PvP. Solution 1: Protect people until they pick a faction. How? Not being sarcastic or argumentative. They could have made a sollution to the pking lower levels
