Getting PKed while hunting

[LadyPhoenix]

I don't understand how this fixes the steal lb problem if I'm waiting for a friend to lb without the use of macro.

u won't be waiting, now ther is tt leech..... evry buddy hits non stop

[LadyPhoenix]

The db was just an example. I mean people can still come and KS you.

[grofire]

thay can but i do not find the reson for it, y some one should do that ? y not lvl with ur own frinds ? pk in war go do some quest, y the hell some one will just hang around u and anny u ?

why are there rappists in the world? why did Bin Laden wanne fly a plain in to the Twin Towers?... there's just bad ppl in the world. ppl who get joy from annoying other ppl. there's not much more to explain about that.

bottom line is, getting ks-ed is way better than getting pked over and over and most importantly getting ks-ed dont want to make newbies quit. and if gms manage to fix the ks-ing problem, then gg, you are officially first mmorpg to do so.

I was trying to come up with a solution to offer but anything I thought of would lead to KSing. What do you all think is the biggest problem when talking about leveling pk? Is it a higher level coming and just wiping out a lower level party or is it a party of the same level coming and wanting a certain pit so they kill the current party that is there? I don't really see a way that you can reliably solve both... Even if you completely disable PK in nation maps your still going to have the case of one party bullying another out of a pit if they want it bad enough. Best way to solve higher levels pking lower ones without causing the lower to be able to pk the higher would be to have something like if theres a 10-15 level difference + or - then neither person can damage the other. Basically the damage reduction idea but on both sides and it would have to be 100% reduction. But this would still lead to the higher level just killing everything so you cant level, if he was bored/mad enough that is.

I don't know, this is a tricky one.

First mmorpg to fix ks? REALLY? where you been these last 10 year?

How can you Ks in WoW, Warhammer, Aion?

[sush]

I'd say the whole PvP mode is likely the best option. While your idea is intriguing, GMNyx, it feels like more work than its worth and too many ways to exploit it, and it sounds more complicated than it needs to be.

How about this;

In own-nation maps, against same-nation people, unless you are in PK mode, you cannot be PKd and (obviously) cannot PK anyone.

So, if you are in Battle, someone in PK mode cannot attack you. And you cannot attack someone in PK mode. If someone is in PK mode, they can attack others in PK mode, and get attacked in turn.

If possible to enable that, it would be a quick and easy solution. At least, I think so.

Then we can leave neutral maps alone (since some people actually like leveling in neutral maps for the chance of encountering lower levels to PK with.) Otherwise, the whole below level 100 system also messes it up if it doesn't take into account different nations.
