So you want to be 'one of those' and just grief people and not have to deal with the penalty?
and they call us carebears ^^
Flagging systems promote this behavior because ppl want you to go red instead of fighting, hopefully their system of not losing all your loot works to promote pvp, you can either go red or sit there waiting for ppl to flag.
In games like lineage2 people just have stepping matches waiting for people to go red so they can zerg one person instead of flagging purple and having a fight, in games without flagging systems ppl just fight there's no bullshit.
Regarding the hot tub time machine the military node already reduces corruption, so something placed in game like the pools or to give further reduction isn't that far fetched.
I'd rather just go red instead of dancing around for 15min waiting for people to flag purple in a situation where another group isn't going to fight right away.
In this you can loot resources in Lineage 2 it was pretty pointless.
I'm happy to go red and take all your tree stumps, and you are right I don't care if you fight back, if you do fight back I can farm more people.
ur right.
Like running away after you flag.
You're supposed to be purple and kill purples.
You understand that, right?
But what if they are are white and I'm purple and they want their treestumps, but I want their tree stumps, and they won't go purple but I really want their tree stumps?
This is really about grinding tree stumps
Then it's about:
Are they carrying enough tree stumps for it to be worth me working off my red?
And you do it like:
"oi fight me I want your tree stumps"
> case 1: "ok, fight me"
>>> you are both purple and the winner takes the tree stumps
> case 2: "no, go away."
>>> you kill them and work off your red
None of this "go to the fountain and wash off my red"
wutface.
The good thing here is that people will lose less loot and less XP if they flag back. The only way someone will go red on me, is if they one shot me do to level difference.. Other than that.. Im flagging back 100% of time, not for less penalties, I just like to fight.
I struck it out cuz I think mayors should be able to disable bounty hunters.
So now I can sit in my spa and have reduced duration of corruption in a military node with disabled bounty hunters.
rofl what? bounty hunters are something a player unlocks as an extra feature for their character, that's not something a mayor should decide about.
Yes, you get reduced corruption in a military node. I already explained that this is purely to increase the amount of fights inside a military node. It's also a node-wide reduction, and not some special building you can put out in the middle of nowhere with your freehold to afk in and drain off corruption.
No it isn't fair now we need a corrupted military node, that let's you find bounty hunters, as well as a hot tub time machine, with guards that pk people who aren't red.
Intrepid realized that having corruption reduction tied to node was problematic, and so instead of military nodes offering quests to reduce corruption, you now have to grind mobs for experience.
No, I dont have a source for that information, but I also dont care if you dont believe me.
Yes, they heard feedback from the bounty hunter concerns. Forcing a Node to choose between corrupted players or bounty hunters wasn't the smartest choice put forward. I'm all game for retaliation against Bounty Hunters but even bounty hunters need access to the node. Bounty Hunters can help defend the node but Corrupted Players would face reduced efficiency if they are allowed to defend the node at all.
So yeah, no.
this reminds me of the skit from family guy where Osama bin laden goes to heaven because he accepts jesus as his lord and savior right before getting shot.
Thats just GTA
Maybe you will have fun, but you should think about the consequences of this.
It means that military nodes will be the home of bounty hunters, and offer no benefit to people gaining corruption.
This means that rather than basing yourself in a military node, you likely want to avoid them.
That's good advice, however I prefer PvP, you got this all backwards, people won't want to flag bounty hunter cause then they have to fight you with stats and I think the toggle timer on bounty hunting should be increased to one hour not several minutes, and it should flag your group or raid as a bounty hunting party, so people can't abuse the system in regards to fighting reds with lowered stats after knowing their location.
Your input is appreciated as always.
That would depend on what kind of PvP you prefer.
If you are all about being chased by bounty hunters at all times, then you wouldn't have suggest mayors be able to remove that aspect of military nodes.
Clearly, making that suggestion means you want a node you can call home that doesn't have the risk of bounty hunters - I am just letting you know that a military node is probably not the best choice for this. The only advantage it has to you is the leaderhip contest - you are unlikely to be able to be mayor of any other node type.
The one thing I've learned in these four (4) pages of nonsense is that I'm definitely not joining Black Sails guild.
It's all gonna change during alpha and beta obviously just yanking your chains, the real magic will happen in the alpha forums thats when people get to report and suggest stuff that will actually be read.
What's your basis for this claim?
I think it's that they're so l33t that no-onez can beet da black sales (unfortunate name for a guild... BLM!
