Re: PvP & Economy Update

Just to be clear: all dishonorable kills that we have obtained until now will be removed?

I once killed a civilian by mistake and that 1 in my character sheet has been haunting me forever.

Re: WorldBoss ID

The comparison falters, since the "mafia" is more like an athelete using doping and starting ahead of everyone else, while the rest is tryin' to play fair and square. Doping is cheating and no one is cheating by showing up first. Equating coordination through Discord and being permanently...

Re: Are some professions really better than others?

Do you want to minmax? Then there's two professions that are the best for a spec (engineering and whatever) and there's not much wiggle room.

Else, pick whatever you want.

Re: WorldBoss ID

You keep regurgitating the same talking points about "the point of world bosses". Everybody else just doesn't understand, we're supposed to be playing in 10k player mega servers fighting over one world boss that drops 2 items every week! Nobody's getting fooled by it anymore these days. W...

Re: WorldBoss ID

The entire point of world bosses is that players have to compete to get to them first. There already is a solution to make bosses killable for everybody: putting them in an instance! That would be so much easier than creating a complicated set of rules and then banning dozens of players every week.

Getting spotted/targeted by an opposing factions guard NPCs won't flag you. But if you attack/damage them, even to stun/hold/cc them in retaliation, that'll cause you to be flagged (for 5 minutes at least).
I think even reflective damage from Thorns or a shield spike will do that.

Re: How did I get killed when I never flagged for PvP?

That's only inside major cities.

There are many ways of getting flagged, one of them is attacking NPCs that are flagged.

Re: WorldBoss ID

Again, thats not how it works. If you get hit by conflagrate or volatile infection, you hit other players around you. Someone with pvp active from the opposite faction can stand next to you and you WILL hit him and get forcefully flagged for PvP. And guess what, since the person in conflagrate is b...

Re: WorldBoss ID

No need to intentionally misrepresent it, the toxicity is not the existence of a group dedicated to downing world bosses. It's that world bosses compel people to grief each other. Almost all world bosses can be griefed even with nobody flagged. For kazzak all one has to do is unequip their gear and...

Re: WorldBoss ID

[snip] You describe what, according to you, Blizzard had in mind when they implemented world bosses. I have no idea if you are correct or not and I think it would be hard to find clear evidence. I assume that, in every realm, there was at least a couple of guilds who raided weekly, and they probabl...

Re: WorldBoss ID

The entire point of world bosses is that they are on a "first come first served" basis. If they wanted that not to be the case they would've put Ostarius inside an instance. Calling players who organise to complete objectives in a videogame a "mafia" is nothing but smearing. Smea...

It's not meant to be bonus xp, it's only meant to cover for the xp loss due to death. The fact that you see warmode as a 30% xp buff makes you part of the problem
That requires a huge [citation needed].

The time lost for being killed in pvp definitely isn't worth 30% of a level.

Re: Two rules that likely need to be revisited.

As you all are aware, a certain PvP server shat the bed monumentally, which caused thousands of us to come here. We have absolutely no interest in RP and are completely alien to RP customs. We play here because we have no other option (but we are extremely thankful for having found a home!) PvP-incl...
