An Anti-Grief Upgrade for the Corruption System

Jassim Salam

Fellow adventurers of Verra, the griefing and ganking crisis in Ashes of Creation is driving away casual players, newcomers, and even content creators, hindering the game’s true potential.

But what if we had a solution that ensures Verra remains PvP-centric while protecting those who need it most?

I've crafted an anti-grief system—a simple yet effective enhancement to the existing corruption mechanics. Ready to explore how we can make griefers think twice without breaking the game’s essence? Dive into my detailed proposal below and let’s build a better Verra together!

It’s been said in quite a few other threads already:

Just because corruption isn’t working as intended right now … that doesn’t mean it’s open season to make wholesale game design changes.

Let the devs make the needed updates and then submit your testing feedback, Jassim Salam.

I haven't come up with this concept after the recent Asmongold issue

From a very long time, I've been thinking of how this game can create a balance between protecting newcomers and content creators yet not compromising the non-consensual PvP experience the game is aiming for.

I am not expecting the developers to make a complete rework of the corruption system, when we all know the fact that they haven't even fully implemented the corruption system and the bounty Hunter system in the Alpha 2.

I just want the Intrepid Studios developers to go through the proposal once. I would be happy if they get some inspiration to make some updates to their system, from this model ❤️

The system isn't even fully implemented at the moment and the harshness of the consequences are overshadowed by the fact that this is an alpha test in where many things change and wipes will occur. This alone means people will not have the same attachment to their characters, or their reputation in the community as said character. Unlike most AAA game developers, these devs have a lot of experience with similar systems as gamers themselves. Let them cook a little.

Comeback and address it once it properly implemented
