Item loot

[Gustoo]

Well, I can tell you that runlvlzero has spent countless hours leveling up lowbie alts just so that he can help other lowbies level up. He has been almost laughably helpful in this regard.

I really want to know where people's terrifying visions of item loot come from.

We are trying to get new players to want to play here. For level 1-50 your gear is worth basically nothing if you are not a twink. Super max fungi PK's will either destroy your gear if they are completely evil, or just keep it till they give it to some other noob.

The difference (as a newbie) is that instead of having an invincible twink that there is NO reason to fight, there now IS a reason to fight, because he is a raid boss now with potential for some serious loot. If he starts bagging his gear then he will be weaker and u still might get something good from killing him.

Its the best.

Even people with as much no drop gear as is attainable right now are going to be fighting at half strength, or they will have a couple of droppable items equipped to be in good shape. It makes for good sporting fun.

I used to be in favor of a wipe, but now I think that the wipe idea is more have nots trying to get Rogean to screw over the people who have stuck with the server and pharmed all of their high end gear. These dedicated players will get ahead again anyways, so why nerf them. Besides the holocaust ban everyone had a chance to get ahead in the early days, and washouts washed out.

No invincible raid boss players are going to be pharming weak players for gear, its absurd. Melees can wear full banded and EASILY handle level 1-50 and above that shit gears real. Same for casters with low end intelligence gear.

The other thing is that the non existent economy on red would become existant because people would just wind up getting a buncha stuff they don't have or need and just want to give it away or sell it for 50pp. Droppable stuff on rallos was a lot cheaper than other servers because people could just take it from you if you got unlucky. Its not a 1 sided coin.

If the super well equipped nihilum guys started actually trying to PVP for loot??? thats absurd, they are killing raid bosses for the best loot that only they have. If the well equipped players did that, everyone would have a blast actually having people to fight for a change, or at least I imagine that based on all the complaints that nihilum does not PVP.

The main thing is, the high levels that currently wear DECENT droppable gear, will put it in their bags and learn to deal with the riskiness of it.

BUT the whole reason for item loot is to make the part of the game that majority of players spend the majority of their time doing, more interesting, which is level 1-50. For these levels PVP is fun and has a purpose instead of just getting griefed by twinks that you have no incentive whatsoever to fight and try to defeat.

I don't see how you miss that point. Two friends or three friends can make a few characters and just hunt twinks for loot. Its a blast, and the twinks hunt eachother for loot too. There is just a whole lot of great reasons to PVP. On rallos my max level was 45 and that was a character I retired. I just pvped because it was a blast. On rallos as a twink PK and one with many twink PK friends I can tell you that I never had any interest in squashing lowbies wearing banded. I would leave that junk on the ground. I was looking for that slightly off blue color iksar regen BP and these twinks I would hunt relentlessly. The only people that REALLY get hurt by item loot are twinks (who now have to think twice) and level 50+'s who now also have to twink twice about the gear they use and when.

So yeah, level 50+ guys will have to make some changes but they aren't insurmountable at all.

Also a 4 level pvp range will have to be implemented too.
