"The one you call messiah is a lie"--- Gary Numan

I mean a larger penalty than the slight debuff. I'd like to see a loss in XP, but only if the person killing you is at your level or below you. If you kill someone who's a lower level than your self, say 5 levels or more they lose no experience. FC will also be implementing a rule so that after a rez you can't attack or be attacked for a while, inorder to prevent the spawn camping.

Also if the player you killed is less than 5 levels lower or higher than you, you can loot their inventory but not what they're wearing or weapons they're holding. This is mainly because I played EVE and losing everything = time sink, also everyone ended up going out with crap setups so that they didn't lose their best stuff.

Thoughts?

The only point in this that even can be considered an issue is the spawn camping i am sure they will fix that.... But b4 you go making any other wild posts did you even play the beta? or read up on the game? PvP death makes you lose PvP xp roughly equal to 6 group kills or 3 solo kills.... you start out at 10k pvp xp, you get 50 per kill in a group and 110ish solo, you need 60k pvp xp to get to lvl 2, something like 125k to get to lvl 3 you lose 300 xp per death.

 

That doesn't sound like a big enough hit for a death? should you lose 2k? so that way NO ONE would get above pvp lvl 10

I got into the beta but only on the last day since it took me 3 days to DL, so I didn't get into the PvP. So could you tell me exactly what the punishment for PvP is and if there are any level restrictions? I also mentioned the looting, what do you think about that?

A rolling stone gathers no moss but leaves a trail of busted stuff.

So is PVP XP better for leveling?

Don't they already lose EXP on PVP death? I coulda sworn there was an article around that quoted Fun Com saying you lost EXP on PVP death.

Secondly, boy I am glad you're not running things there.

You have 20 PvP levels and 80 PvE levels, I assume PvP xp can only be used to increase PvP levels.

No, there is currently no rules in place to have a server with body looting... Level would be hard to comment on as everyone was roughly the same lvl when pvping each other............

as for the is pvp xp good for lvling, i would suspect that the bonus' you gain from having higher pvp lvl (more hp mana stam) would be beneficial it you as you lvl, but i must admit if the pvp on the final day showed me anything its that unless you run in a 100% static group, you will be losing more xp then you again.

Agricola, I like debating topics with you even if I don't always agree.  Please, there is no disrespect intended.  You are a great debater.  However, your signature pic has got to go or else I'll have to put you on ignore.  It just makes my eyes bleed.  I'd rather enjoy debating with you.  Change the signature pic/type.

Thank you!

I got so much
trouble on my mind
Refuse to lose.

AOC FFA PVP ... there is certanly something missing ...

In last interview  G.G stated that they had many pvp mechanics , but they removed it all - because players want to be free. Well that is not quite right.

Players maybe want to be free , but they NEED not to be.

Game withouth rules of engagement is nothing. Football withouth rules , is called "Pass the ball"


Consequences

death penalty , looting , bounty , faction loss .... these are just some ideas.
