Pvp concern
What is stop a group of people, just harrashing people, by induvidualy attack people. There might be a group of friends or even a guild, that sends out a person or 2, when someone enters their "turf". And when you come back, they send a new. etc etc. And you are left with defending your self, and getting tagged/flagged yourself. Or just standing there like a pussy, and get beaten

Now this may not fully deter attacks on players but it will make people have to weigh the pros and cons beforehand.
You could just avoid what they call "their turf". If valuable stuff is there, other high level players will want it and have issues with them.

Every now and again, if we were feeling a bit mean spirited, we would not kill them at all. Just blindfold/ziptie their hands. Fly them out to the middle of the ocean and leave them there. Good luck getting back. You'll either kill yourself and lose all of your stuff, or you'll choose the hour + it will take you to swim back.
If you do fight back, you receive half of the normal death penalty.
So, if you want the least death penalty, best to fight back.
Now if you switch that to no xp or gear damage to the person being ganked then yah sure whatever kill me all you want but if a troll knows hes costing me xp and money to repair my gear he's just going to keep at it and grind back his corruption later as he's farming for gear or something. Saw it happen all the time in BDO.
True i could fight back but now the problem is I still have to repair my gear. I still lose XP. I still have no chance to beat said person because he way out levels me only now I flag and he takes no corruption.
Or if you think about it potentially 1500 alts taking turns. If they really really want that land. They would never suffer the effects of the karma system.
Which I've seen done.
Though I've also seen 1 guy harrass an entire guild and pay him taxes and/or buy him a new place to live.
OMG....I had such fun with this in Arathi Basin (WoW Battleground). Loved that Priest!
You can absolutely go the route of guild vs guild or whatever, but you have to keep in mind in this scenario this individual has set down his freehold next to a large guild who has freeholds stacked together closely knit. Eventually your guilds going to go home, their guild is already home.
Other people can't take over your freehold.
You could fight back and lose - and you would not have as much xp debt or durability loss as you would if you don't fight back.
- use your coin (if you have hermit lifestyle you must have grinded some) and hire some help, or pay the attackers off.
- stop be a scrub, get some skillz and fight back
Trolls are people that are joking. People who want to kill you definitely aren't joking.
And yeah, your stuff gets stolen and your house burned. Your farm animals end up on grill.
Munch munch... and tasty they will be.
You guys are missing the point it's flying so far over your heads. The actual answer clearly young guys, is when you have something where they circumvent the system like this op you'd have to report them. Even in the most hardcore games I've seen suspended accounts due to organized raids like this. This isn't even "hardcore". Cause if there willing to by pass the system their likely to avoid guild warfare and the like.
A military style harrass and raid isn't going to be repelled by "fight them". I've seen entire guilds band together and get beat. I have little hope of 1 helping a lone player. Think you guys are expecting everyone to be at your level. People who harrass like this tend to be tier 1. Military style organizations often with military leaders.
However that's all the fun of it. I've never seen a guild offer any real resistance though for 1 member too much trouble. Some game people would fight but this game puts resources at risk, do you put all you guilds caravans, ships, and city at risk for 1 guy. They'd more likely drop the poor guy from the guild.
If you go solo into hostile territory you either go prepared with protection or very stealthily. It's up to you. Use common sense!
Yes, we'll have griefers when the game launches. Yes, I will be one of the ones eating the higher death penalty, in order to force said griefers into corruption; thereby reducing their stats and giving them a red dot on the map that shows their location and shows their status as a bounty.
I expect that once this is no longer fun, they'll depart like rats from a sinking ship. I estimate this to take a couple of months.
BDO had the "karma" situation which could easily be overcome by guilds grouping together and farming. Their karma situation sucked; recently, apparently, they've overhauled it to make it more painful. I believe the corruption system will be a better bet, and I'm willing to stake my little carebear self on it ... over and over and over again, if need be.
The GAME IS FUN and those scenarios I described are exactly how the game is intended to be played. Even the moderators/admins that run the servers will tell you that. I suggest you never play the game.
Sometimes you need to be able to experience loss to appreciate victory. Maybe it isn't clear to everyone but this game isn't just about winning. Unless you are extremely lucky, you will lose and that is part of the experience they are trying to create for the players. This isn't a single player rpg where you are a savior/hero, this is a mmo and you are just one of many characters in a world. It is because the game isn't doing it for us that it makes the journey that much more satisfying.
Yes, they need to be careful with their mechanics to make sure players can't exploit them and they have spoken many times on how they will watch this but they want these mechanics here. You can't have good guys if people can't be bad guys.
then inplied I was a ********* out to bully people LOL
there's always that but. Arma is definitely not for the soft skinned. You will die. A lot. You will get kidnapped. A lot. You will be publicly executed in kavala square. A lot. There's literally no other point to it.
if you get caught by the cops, they'll impound your vehicle, guns and take you to jail. Literally sitting in jail for certain amounts of time, depending on your bounty. Unless of course, you can role play your way out of it. Make up a good story and get the cops to laughing, they'll let you go....
