pks

Master · 07-15-2012, 10:12 AM

why does someone get to inspect and see if their weight is going up or down... hore they to know such things unless they are grouped and in same spot with them... i think its unfair, you should atleast be able to buy a potion or something allowing it to hide your weight

chloe · 07-15-2012, 11:00 AM

how does it make it unfair? unless they are on you spot an inspect you, they wont know where you are?

also this doesn't effect any aspect of game play really

Master · 07-15-2012, 11:05 AM

bs if it doesnt..... there is no reason why someone should be able to inspect you and see your Weight... if you want more pks in game glitch then make it realiatic... hey chloe, how much weight do i have on me irl right? kinda hard to tell me seems how YOU CANT PHYSICALLY SEE ME... thats how it is unfair

chloe · 07-15-2012, 11:13 AM

it has no effect whether i know you wight 678lb or 12lb, and same in the game.
btw for realism, im pretty sure there is no magic, and a yeti wouldn't fight for you, and killing a drunken fishermen will give you 15-25 years in prison.

Master · 07-15-2012, 11:18 AM

have you tried? i found a yeti in asia that killed a lion for me. then i killed a drunk fisher man and thre his body in the ocean where sharks got rid of the evidence and have you read the bible?! a man named jesus healed sick people! crazy stuff!! and it does effect it, people will inspect a pker every 5 mins to see if they are out farming or not.... then when they see the weight change they go hunt the calculated spot of the weight or level and find them...

chloe · 07-15-2012, 11:25 AM

we can make it even more realistic, remove pkkers and pkers and have instant death when you die, no more announcements when someone gets pked or pkked, you regen 1hp every hr, and its one hit kill for every weapon above lvl 13. one arrow kills, one hit with weap kills, one cast kills.

also kudos to a pkker if they calculate that, that much effort and they deserve to know the location of someone if it all pays off.

Master · 07-15-2012, 11:29 AM

not really, its all common sense.

i love how.kids always troll idea/suggestion when it is just that.... if you dont have an idea or suggestion to add to this thread then go make another one that trolls this one.

chloe · 07-15-2012, 11:32 AM

you posted a suggestion or idea, i didn't troll it, i said it doesn't really effect it, and imo should not be implemented. im sorry that my opinion of not adding this game content doesn't align with your opinion.

Let's see.

To calculate where a PK based on weight change, I would need to know the following:

(Quantity of Trophy Type 1 X Weight of Trophy Type 1) + (Quantity of Trophy 2 X Weight of Trophy Type 2) = Weight increase.

This presumes the Pk isn't putting the trophies directly into storage and not leaving them in inventory, which results in little or no weight change (small gain perhaps from dropped equipment or potions etc.).

With high Big Game Trophies, the 3X PK trophy bonus, and moderately high quantity of trophies from higher level zones anyway, calculating where a PK is sitting is going to be very, very hard based strictly on weight change.

Since Master is the one raising this issue, I presume he's talking about Thorin, a character that can probably farm solo pretty successfully up through Redwood Forest, and perhaps several zones higher than that. Go park yourself in the middle of a large, high level zone like Fungi Forest or Redwood Forest, and the odds of anyone even looking for you are practically nil.

yea... sorry chloe, i posted this thread then found put about beast amd got all bothered and picked you to blow steam off on as arguing

my apologies

Jadakris · 07-15-2012, 12:45 PM

Actually, Chloe and TJ it's to calculate WHERE there are..but rather when they are encumbered.. I guess you don't realize that if your 3x encumbered and you get forced on your extremely screwed for the next 5 minutes because you cannot destroy items when flashing red..

So yea it kinda does matter alot.

Master · 07-15-2012, 01:06 PM

i would also like it if you had to approve someones friend add... i dont want people to know when i log on if im about to go pking.

Master · 07-15-2012, 01:08 PM

on a side note we never know when the beast is on and about to attack so why should players be able to know when a pker logs on to attack

lets fix some pk things and bring more excitment to the game.

Thomas Jordan · 07-15-2012, 02:32 PM

I don't need to add you to my friend's list to know if you are online. All I have to do is inspect you. If your stats come up with a string of "0," then you're logged off. If they come up with real numbers, then you're logged on.

Nor does being encumbered prove that you are out farming. You could be crafting. When I make potions, the dye press, loom, still, a couple stacks of 100 bones, some dye and resin, and other sundry items gets me very encumbered.

And I could just play mind games with you by sitting in town and every once in a while putting something heavy in my inventory, like a bunch of bones, or a bunch of cheap, but heavy resins. That will get me encumbered, and if you want to chase all over the map looking for me, be my guest.

No, I'm not a PK, and only once or twice have I even bothered to chase a PK. Why? The reward for catching a PK is trivial, and the chances of finding a high level PK who could be just about anywhere on the map are very low. I have better things to do with my time.

Jadakris · 07-16-2012, 08:22 AM

That's kinda his point TJ, but you have to keep in mind that just because you don't hunt PK's that nobody does
