Question about corruption

If a green player (has no corruption yet) starts attacking me, and I decide to fight back and I win the fight, wool I gain corruption even though it was defensive? What if the player that attacks me Already has corruption?

Guys, let semantics be semantics, you are drifting away from the main topic! XD

Oh well, quite basic stuff in forums, almost every conversation turns to totally meaningless direction and the main point is lost or forgotten. And yes I am icluding also myself

and for once its not my fault

What about playing with friends or others PvEers ?
Be the biggest group and make you survive against you aggressor? We don't know if a lvl50 aggressor can solo 3 lvl 20 but he may think twice before killing you once your buddy's come supporting you

IS want community be created in the game so let's bound PvE vs PvP !

Here is the quote I responded to:
"One of the issues I have with the corruption system is the greater penalty for greens."
It does not state "non-combatants get a greater death penalty than combatants."
I don't recall using the word dishonest.

What I said is that the death penalty is not greater for greens. The death penalty for greens is the same, normal death penalty.
The death penalty is lower for purples. Yes.
The death penalty is greater for reds.

Greens get 1x the death penalty.
Purples get .5x the death penalty.
Reds can get 2x the death penalty.

Non-combatants get the normal death penalty.
Combatants are rewarded with half the normal death penalty in order to encourage direct PvP combat.
Corrupted are penalized with an increasingly greater than normal death penalty in order to discourage forcing other players into unwanted PvP combat.

Thank you for confirming you're trolling I guess

My conclusion was that Dygz was either dim or trolling, either way there was no point in furthering the discussion.

I like to think the best of people and assumed the former.

1 skilled pvp player can easily tear through 3 pve players in almost every game I have played that was action combat based. tab-target combat based games are the only games I have seen where it is fairly equal because it is less about skill and more about pressing more buttons than the other guy.

Corruption makes you get freaky with animals.

Well depends a lot of level power gaps, but usually in that kind of case the lvl 50 guy would easily wipe the lower levels. I do not know, but I hope there will be some rules to protect griefing (in this case higher level player killing lowbies). Maybe it should be totally prevented or at least give a massive amount of corruption. Maybe this all have thought already, but I just do not remember.

If you're a Level 20 non-combatant and you're attacked by a Level 50, simply don't fight back and let the aggressor suffer the massive corruption if they kill you. That should be all the deterrent required - if Corruption works as intended.

While it most definitely is a semantics match, From the perspective of some new person coming in looking from info in the forums, it's much easier to accept the explanation, fighting back and dying gives a 50% reduction to death penalty. Jumping of a cliff and dying will give full penalty. PvE will give full penalty. Only fighting and dying to another player will have a reduction. The corruption system is already confusing enough for new guys for whatever reason, lets not make it any more involved to express how it's being built currently to them.

Aren't you the poster child of things that just won't die?

I didn't do shit, I responded to the necro.....and he(or a mod) deleted his comment.

And then all the comments were gone.

Its
Green -> 1x Death Penalty
Purple -> 0.5x Death Penalty

Why?
Cause..
Red -> 3 to 4 times Death Penalty

So 2>1 would make Red 6-8 times
Although both are factually correct, that is only in ratio
Official statement says Purple halves Death Penalty compared to Green
And that Red is 3-4 times normal death penalty (which is green)

(Also for the guy who said you wont flag if you attack an attacker back in defence, you are wrong.
If you attack anyone (who is not corrupt), you will flag for combat (purple).

I'm of the opinion that non-combatants get 84/18 of the Normal penalty, and purple has 14/6 of the Normal penalty. And the Normal penalty is 9/42 of the usual penalty for PvE.

Whhhhyyyyy.
