Is this game PvP-Oriented or Pve-Trolling-Oriented?
Just read what I wrote there.
1.A player’s corruption score increases with each non-combatant player killed.
2.The wider the level disparity between the players the more corruption will be gained.
3.The higher the corruption score, the higher drop percentage when the corrupted player is killed (see Player death below).
4.The higher the corruption score, the more skill and stat dampening applies, until the corrupt player ultimately becomes ineffective at combat.
5.Corruption is removed through death. Multiple deaths may be necessary to remove all corruption. There may be other mechanics to reduce corruption.
6.Corruption has a visible effect on a player’s appearance.
7.A corrupt player’s location is revealed to bounty hunters.
1. I agree with 100% - the punish best way to care about players, but not the only
2. May be it is justly but only if the Corruption penalties don't influence at you - were did you see The Murderer suffering after assasination? It's so foolishly!!! He must suffer AFTER death by the death penalties (loose exp/stats/and so on..)
3. If Murderer can drop Items, goods and things. Why other players can't? - It's so foolishly again!!!. Where is the BALANCE?
More KILLS=More drop it is JUSTLY!!!
4. This condition is so UNNECESSARILY!!! The murderer kills to feal the suffering of his doings - It's so absurdly!!! Developers where are your logic? At my point of view you are tring here to please the Care Bears community against mass PK. But sometimes the PK it is the only one way to proof your honor!!! If you realise this paragraph without any REALLY worthy mechanics to reduce stat dumping applies you will fall in my estimation.
5. A Life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!!!. If you want to stop the way of Assassin - pay a price your experience. It is JUSTLY!!! Still support your way of searching other methods for satisfaction.
6. All right. But it is not a main thing in game process.
7. I have nothing against bounty hunters, but Developers have to understand the more Penalties they will give for PK - more the PK System will Minimize to ZERO, don't even try to make PK System useless. A lot of large skilled players will pass by this project because of Reducing Usefull mechanics!!! Try to import NEW mechanics - not moderate the old one!!!
Thank You For Attention. With Hope and Love from Russia!!!
As @lexmax stated above this is high fantasy NOT real life. Fun for all not just PvPers who don't care about others. There are many PvPers who disagree with you and are waiting to test the game as planned.
The Devs will have their day and we shall test THEIR game not yours.
This is hilarious how these who pretends or wannabe hardcore players always accuses carebears and casual players of ruining games, but in fact they are the once who poisons communities with that toxic attitude and causes only drama with their behaviour.
There are some hardcore open world PvP MMO games out there and several are under development, so i dont understand why to try so desperately change something from different genre to that same mold? IS dont bend.
You can still kill around caravans & sieges bc then people are flagged.
Its not supposed to be fair and balanced.
It supposed to be a deterrent.
Don't be the vegan at the bbq.

To developers:
And if you got penalties before you was killed it's look like cheating against PvP players! ::Moderated:: You've got enough money to be independent!!! Show us your 17 years skill of Lineage ll Experience!!! Try to realize all old mechanics and bring your new for the "altar of experience"!!! Don't try to please the majority - it will not be something new!!!
Thanks for reading me.

To be a deterrent for what? Against zerg? If so then make a barrier for example only who in Guilds will have a chance to get a curruption penalties cause of state at war with some other Guilds or something else! Don't make PK mechanics a "static swamp", please.
A person's true character is revealed when others don't respond as they wish and bend to their ways.
Spoiled little children struggling to evolve into big bullies by crying and demanding will never match up to real adults.
Everyone can enjoy Ashes of Creation the question is reason of it, another clone for casual - don't think so. We are here cause we want something NEW mechanics (PK - it is not the new one, its old, but if you tring to change it - try to avoid disbalance, because disbalance will be betwin two potentualy equal REAL PERSON behind the monitor) and EXCITING challenge for all who ingame client!!!
Maybe in 20 years, you will understand.
You see... you have >>>NOTHING<<< stopping you and me from ganking and PKing anyone you like in the static (castle), mobile (carvan) and transient (siege) PvP areas.
NO ONE is stopping you from doing your thing here.
So the argument you cant PK and gank is bullocks to be frank.
The corruption system is there to say you will not PK and Gank EVERYWHERE and ALL THE TIME.
There is a time and a place for it..ie the warzones.
And the civilised zone areas is not it.
I find it troubling that you still cant seem to understand the difference.
All you are here to do is demand PK and Ganking everywhere at all times.
You want purely the law of the jungle instead of civilisation.
This is not the ashes world and never will be.
So suck it up or move on.

Who prohibits you to make a group and fight against thug mentality? May be your brain?
Who prohibits you to get into a Guild and take war against that kind of people? May be again your cowardly ego? PK System it is a stimulus to stick tougether back to back to each other without any "Party Searching inclient interfaces abilities" with quick dangeon raid without any "troubles" - challenge,fight, accept the battle for your place under the sun!!!
Or what?
I really think people may be over-worrying here.
I remember the good old days in WOW when i would have my lvl 10 whutsit trouncing about in Goldshire, and I would just be minding my own business and suddenly i'd be dead because some lvl 70 fellow had decided to sit there and snipe newbies for a half hour, or until such time as we could call in our own lvl 70 to push him out.
That is the kind of behavior i think we are trying to see discouraged with this pvp plan.
There will still be abundant opportunity for people to annihilate each other.
And there will be a means for people who are, frankly not prepared for pvp, to avoid being senselessly slaughtered every three minutes.
The devs will work towards a balance. It will be a balance that will piss some people off, but it will be a balance, nonetheless..
Just a courtesy reminder here of the following Community Guideline.
Don’t Be a Jerk!
Pretty self-explanatory. Don’t post personal attacks and do not harass other users or employees of Intrepid Studios. Racist, sexist, misogynist, discussions of **** or brutality, homophobic, and other types of offensive messages may be removed. Posts purposefully trying to “flame” another user will always be removed. This can result in a suspension or ban.
Let's keep this as a discussion and not veer off into a flame war. Please and thank you
They even have the rare skill of knowing opponent age by seeing people internet posts. What a fun to play a game where no ones kills it other, all players harvest flowers , growing horses and care about each other. Take down your pink glasses. It is the second black desert already but at least black desert has a big world and better graphics.
How the system works for now.
If I am a pvp player and attack a random player , he will not flag because why to , I cant even kill him because of the corruption.
If I am being attacked, I will stay in green mode so the enemy player could not kill me.
If we both want to fight- double flag.
If someones troll me , he can do it . Nothing that I can do because no open pvp.
If someone griefs my resources or spot I cant do anything because there is no open pvp.
If someone is killing my friend from another guild , I cant help him , because there is no open pvp.
If I want to duel someone I have to ask him because there is no open pvp.
If I want to kill a group of players I cant because there is no openworld pvp.
So the shitty pvx system is made to hold as many casuals carebears, and more of those community in order to have a bigger online.
Vote with your wallet they say. What they think is 'lets make a game for carebears and clickbait pvp players into it". Carebears would stay and enjoy all what they want , casual PvE content. PvP players would eat the cactus and play on their paddock. How about making PvP and PvE servers? Why it is such a big problem.
Many people who are playing crowlfall , those who play ultima , albion, tera, bdo, archage, wow, allods online, heaven and hearth and more projects , with people who left the mmorpg genre would join AoC PvP server. Let the carebears rot on their PvE servers . You want people you will get them! Such many players (and me too) joined to BDO and their Hardcore pvp content and enjoyed it until carebears haven't cried loud on the forums and the devs changed it. 58% were against the change. But devs didnt give a f**k,they had enough money and they made a game for the korea players. People just left the product.
PvE costs nothing if there is no open PvP content. If some scrubs want to play arenas where everyone with the same gear and fight by sending anime memes to each other thats fine, on PvE server. If someones want to play fun farm , thats fine for pve PvE server.
All the players who left mmorpg genre because of carebears and casuals will come to AoC pvp server. Crowfall players , BDO online players (most of them have left the game after the update), Ultima Online, wow, heaven and hearth, Allods Online , Tera Online, la2 . All those players will come to play on PvP server. I have asked many PvP players what do they think about current ashes of creation . Sh**ty carebear game .
Normal players wouldnt get fun of playing such game. Of course people will play , they invested money. It is called eating the cactus,
