Why this strong need for a safety bubble at the expense of it being 10000% not fun or meaningful?

I am not toxic. I am just full on attacking this mentality of some people that are so averse to being attacked by other gamers.

i'm just trying to even understand the purpose of green in the first place.

people should be able to kill each other mindlessly anywhere anytime with zero repercussions.

That would turn the whole world into a big boring battlefield instead of an mmo.
Mmo is more than just combat. It's about character progress, gearing, exploration and organization.
If those arent protected you end with something boring. Like what Cyrodiil is in eso.

I agree - I might initially think you'd need a little protection in place to keep some 200 person guild from taking over something like a bank .. but then I'm guessing that would turn into a pretty spectacular fight

Oh you’re referring to non combatants! Yeah it seems the only use of being a non combatant is to dissuade higher levels from just straight up killing you, avoiding corruption build up.

As to your second point? No, no they shouldn’t.

There is no green zone. You can, however, visit winner's freehold of fun and death.

That beer looks so good.
Also, that 50/50 chance of death gives the beer a unique flavor and it's a surprise mechanic at the same time as well. That's truly impressive !
Everyone should try that amazing beer at least once.

That stops the more casual players from playing. A subscription MMO needs a casual player base to survive.

sorry i triggered the toxicity in people. i didnt mean to.

i read that: "Battlegrounds are where PvP battles occur in the open world.[1] These are open world PvP zones that flag players as Combatants (purple)."

Which made me wonder, "shouldn't any/all areas cause people to flag as Purple? If not, what areas do not flag, and what are those areas called?"

I played Darkfall since EU Beta. I'm glad this forum isnt as toxic as Forumfall.

Again, i'm sorry i'm a scum bag and pissed everyone off. I need to better myself at knowing everything. sorry

Hi there. To answer your question, if everyone was flagged as a combatant all the time it would completely invalidate the corruption system (no green players to kill means nobody becomes corrupted). The whole point of it is that you have to consciously choose to fight back. If you don't choose the fight back (or cannot due to getting 1-shot by a much higher level player) then you stay green and the person who kills you becomes corrupted.

Anyway, I assume by "green zones" you mean areas where you cannot PvP at all. As far as I know the only places you can't PvP are in the starting areas and freeholds (except in freeholds that are under attack in the 2 hour window following a successful node siege). Everywhere else, including regular nodes, allow you to attack another player.

I hope that clears up any confusion for you.

C'mon OP.

It's actually really healthy that forum members are interacting with each other and the discussion wasn't an echochamber.

We misunderstood your original question, don't take it personal.
