Corrupted players can't /trade or use storage.

I hope that in addition to:
Loss of gear upon death.
Bounty hunters pin pointing reds on the map.
Reds cant CC greens.
Stats degration for reds
And this months statement, people can relax about random PKing and stop trying to seperate the playerbase into PvP and PvE with hard protections.

The flagging/corruption system is here to stay. AoC is an open world pvp mmo.

Hey, I have been off for a couple months, did I miss anything other than the Tank Preview?

I do hope they balance the corruption gain well enough for that owpvp to even exist though. Obviously most of the pvp will happen in wars and pvp events, but I do think that corruption could be balanced in such a way that people can afford at least a few PKs a week w/o completely fucking up their character forever.

I agree with NiKr on this, even though I rarely agree with him

I will still be PKing people that annoy me or wont leave my grind spot. Obviously, I won't dive at a random party of 4-8 people, PK one of their number, and an 100% guarantee that I will escape intact. Nobody should have such illusions of gameplay.

I like to jump people in the wild. Especially farming what I want to farm. I don't want war pvp as only pvp, yuck.

I don't want hard protections either. I feel reds not being able to cc greens was a particular limit. I assume and I'm pleased reds can still cc bounty hunters.

Not being able to trade or use storage while corrupt isn't new information - we've known this for a few years.

Unless people are only just realizing this now, I'm not sure what this thread is about.

Next you'll be telling me they're formulating arguments based on factual evidence and be considering the responses thoughtfully rather than discarding them offhand because they don't want to know about any issues counter to their OP!

IT'LL BE PURE INSANITY.

I didn't get the notion that George didn't already know the facet. In fact, George has discussed the facet before. I merely got the notion the topic came up thanks to the stream.

I don't remember if it was explicitly stated that we couldn't use our freehold storage as PKs.

Though no! @Noaani I just doublechecked, Steven said we could use freehold storage.

So that was a change.

edit: there was also the change of "players can pvp within the freehold but not the house" (before it was the whole freehold), so there's just that 1-2 seconds of running that PKers would need to hide themselves from any pursuers.

I’m sure we will still be going through more iterations of corruption as Alpha2 and Beta roll on, @Nikr.

Although I agree that PK activities should be used sparingly … your “few PKs a week” philosophy is probably too generous to botters and the overall PvE crowd in general.

Unless Intrepid decide to make war declaration costs insanely high - most "pve crowders" will never even see content. Only guilds that either pvp or have friends who pvp will be able to get great gear. And then with that great gear they'll be able to just outfarm anyone who refuses to flag up against those guilds.

But yeah, it'll all be tested and I'm still pretty sure that even war-based pvp will be limited because people will in fact push Intrepid to make the costs for war way too high. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Arya_Yeshe

Well... who knows, maybe people want to blow some steam sometimes, they will have to look for sieges, wars or ask Intrepid for PK friendly events.

This was an interesting change.

I don't really think I'll be speculating about what it implies, but I can't help having some reaction/extrapoloation.

Mostly I don't like it, but on the other hand it doesn't really affect anything I was planning to do, so if it makes the game more palatable in general or if it was necessary to avoid some specific type of exploit, I'm all for it.

It could lead to less of a specific loop that I prefer and maybe make Bounty Hunting even more of a pointless afterthought, but it certainly ramps up the risk/reward for a Solo PK-er.

Bring on the Bandit Gangs.

Why do you think this makes BHs more useless? Cause the change would lead to more group-based PKing, that BHs can't really do anything about?
