Likes and dislikes about PKing?

[Renatus]

As some of you may be aware, Sekhmet and I will be relaunching 'Medium Rate', under the new name of 'Evolution', we're losing the old exp rate and taking High Rate's, we'll also be using 2.6 files, so in respect of levels, you lot will provide a great set of opinions for what Evo will hopefully be like a year or two down the line. The way we plan to structure Evo is more towards fighting, we've both played various versions of Mir and agreed that fighting/PKing was always a great part of the game, but was steadily phased out for one reason or another, we want to bring it back.

So, my question to all of you is; If you were to help design (or play) Evo, what would you like to see put ingame? What do you like about HR in regards to PKing? What do you hate?

Current idea's are being posted here, you're welcome to post there or here (here is probably easier) and I'll try to keep up with responses.

Make sure this stays clean of spam/insults/flames, punishments will be dealt out quickly and heavily for people pulling this thread off-topic.

ummmm sorry for bein a complete tard in this.... but would usin the same exp rate as HR make it completly pointless in regards to making HR 2.6 files and runnin this server along side it?

y restart wen u already have everythin here?

[Renatus]

It won't be the same as HR, it's like asking why Mir Extreme was made while High Rate is in place; They may use the same files and roughly the same exp, but there's some obvious things (increased drop rate) and other not-so-obvious things that set them apart. Evo will be a server aimed at people who want to fight, want to kill, want to go red and want to be able to play the game whilst being red, rather than having to avoid half of it.

i h8 pkors ppl who PK on lower ppl and weak vunerable ppl...
i enjoy fighting though have to admit ><... but ul probs find if ppl can do it anytime any place anywere they wont. its the fact they can do it but shouldnt do it that attacts them to PK
thats imo....

In regards to PKing, its great. Having towns being only safe zones would be good, with areas in town being non-safe zones (as it used to be). Body drops not being cut down, would increase pking also.

Also if it can be made, reduce curse times, set a limit on it tbh, and also, warrior PA needs to be lowered, slow can remain but the PA ticks or dmg it does it kinda ridiculous (on high rate at least).

Also if there can be a limit on attacking brown players w/in a certain level i think it would be good (such as not being able to attack a player within 20 levels of u unless u attack them first to go brown), this is just for wizzies/tao's atm. as a wiz with 2-3 mc lvl 40 can FC players, not do any dmg, but still turn them purple/blue, same thing with a tao curse spamming.

but like the idea.

would also like to add, not having completely ridiculous stats as we currently have on high rate would make PKing a lot more enjoyable, so as pretty much level 70 warrs can not 2 hit a lvl 120-130 wiz if u know what i mean. DC/MC/SC are all VERY VERY high atm and it basically makes it so if u arent rich enough to get yourself a godly kit your kinda out of the loop. Back when wizzies would be able to pvp against warriors without needing a pro ring was great.

Excellent feedback so far guys, thanks, this is exactly what I was hoping for.

On the subject of attacking people x levels below you, yeah that's something we're in deep discussions about, but we (Sekh - The other guy who will be running Evo with me) only got asked about doing this last night, so things are still very much a blur of random idea's. But that is something we'll probably spend hours (days -_-) trying to balance so it's fair.

Curse time I was thinking about, though I've not read up on the new 2.6 spells, giving Warriors a 5s immunity to all poisons (para, slow, green and red poison) with a 20 or 30 second "cooldown" (think of flaming sword) between uses. I'd also want to reduce Curse time to 20 seconds or so at the most, maybe 10-15 seconds, as it really does screw every other class over.

The stats thing is also very helpful, though that can be combated quite easily by slapping some +hp on Wiz items (just suggested this to Jamie, so you might get this, depending what he thinks of it ), but yeah, I'd rather keep them a bit lower than HR's numbers currently are.

In all honesty, though PK'ing is apart of the Mir adventure, I personally find it irritating, there is nothing more annoying than being a low level, in a cave, then being wiped out by a high level, for no reason.

And it sounds like you're not going to punish the red players for it, so they'll stay red, and still be able to terrorize the non-pking players?

I think all in all, this server wont be as good as the others, and I don't see that many players going onto it.
Lets face it, not everyone on MR pk's, or some will do it a few times, but we're all mainly in it to reach the highest level.

Although there are a few ways in which you could make it a popular area for pkers and non pkers, like the following:

* have a red safe zone and a normal players safe zone, sort of splitting the community in half.

* some sort of punishment MUST be added, otherwise it'll get out of hand in 1 - 2 years time.


Tbh im just letting my hands type now, so i'll end it there.

Feedback please, no flaming.
