Corruption System is Really Stupid

Why can't you defend yourself if you are corrupted without getting more corrupted? That is so stupid. I don't even understand why you have a corruption system if that's how it's going to be. Seems to be a giant grief on the player base. I lost half my gear because I was unable to even consider someone would be capable of making such an asinine system.

No people who get corrupted are the greifers. Not the system that protects thoughts flagged green. It also fits in the risk vs reward game design. If it bugs you go attack purples.

Not true all the time tbh, lots of scenarios I could think of but imagine someone comes in, trains you with 15 mobs, kills you steals your loot, by the time you get back there not purple so you kill them, are you really the griefer?

Why would you ever flag on someone if being corrupted means your going to lose 50% of your mats plus some gear basically 100% of the time considering you can't defend yourself unless if you want to lose even more mats or even more gear?

Like what is the point of the current system? Seems to me only good for greifing low levels naked for shits and giggles. Hard to get much stupider if you ask me.

Steven does not understand his own game because he just .commands him self a full legendary set when he spawns in, and will most likely do this on his normal characters come launch to, so losing up to all of your gear for going corruption he does not see as a problem because he does not have to farm his own gear

Full-on PVP will likely be for a player's alternative character, whom they'll equip with easy to craft gear, and have him exploit farming and gathering spot. It isn't likely to be for grieffing as time goes on. You'll rather train people when that happen and not fight for it on your main character since the risk ain't gonna be worth it.

What is the point though if you can't fight back against attackers without getting max corruption level and dropping the majority of your gear set on death? System doesn't make any sense.

I accidentally attacked and killed a dude because I was killing mobs and I didn't know (forgot) that I was flagged so I got corrupted and someone killed me instantly cuz my health was low. Result ? I dropped 2 pieces of gear.

That is a really trash system, because I NEVER had an intention to kill a player before that. The game punishes me VERY hard for a mistake that wasn't obvious to know.

That's a game balance issue that needs to be addressed. No one should be put in that situation.

This is happening alot now. The training griefers are all over. It taks obscenely long to return to your body and unless you have a large group standing on your body, it will be looter and the jerk is long gone. Especially punishing for low levels who have no movement perks at all

he has also stated corruption penalty is much higher than it going to be atm due to the 2 other system tied into corruption is not in working state yet and didnt want phase 1 to be a gank box. So you will most likly see the corruption penalty be less harsh once those other system to do with corruption are in
