Suggestion: PVP book enables item loot

It wouldn't really be used. If only 5% of the population turns in you'd basically be giving away your equipment to players you couldn't get it back from. It's good you're coming up with ideas though.

My suggestion was that you only lose gear to players that, like yourself, have turned in the PVP book.

If you die to a player that has not turned in the book, he cant loot you.

With my suggestion, players could have their cake and eat it too.

Item loot would be up to the players to choose, and then only players who chose that can be looted by "deep red" players.

So no whining that "no item loot is shit" - "item loot is shit"

Only thing left to know is how easy this is to code

I do like your idea oldfish.

god damn stop with the item loot shit, isnt this your 2nd thread on it in less than a week?

stfu.

This would be cool and has no major implications since it's optional (and I doubt many people would be xXxh4rdc0r3xXx enough to do it anyway - 5%, maybe)



If it's a severe time-consuming pain in the ass to code though, I'd backburner it

This isnt my 2nd thread about it, it is your 2nd time you are flaming me for no good reason outside of rant and flames though. Please take your flaming there.

I hope this idea gets taken upon if its easy to code, it would make everyone happy since its optional.

would basically just take adding db column in the client table "item_loot_flag(BOOLEAN)", add a couple lines to PoD perl quest to set it, and a 4 line switch statement in client::death() to generate proper corpse. You could even generate the item lootable corpse only after checking if both parties are flagged.


I say code it then just enable it by default with no way to turn off imo

[Softcore PK]

Not a terrible idea I suppose. I would not be flagging myself for item loot, though.

Love the idea, I can see it being somewhat exploited some how. I'd say a shitty and cheap way to take advantage would be to have a gank squad with say 2 or 3 non item loot chars and a naked wiz with item loot enabled. They beat on an item loot enabled person running around, the naked or almost naked wiz takes the kill shot and grabs the loot.

No risk to the gank squad at all and easy kills for easy loot. People say "this sucks balls, I want to go back to normal" they can't and they quit.


If there's a way to make it work without people abusing it then I'd be all for it but I don't see it.

There's a priest of order NPC walking around Qeynos on the blue server that can reverse PvP status.

Perhaps something similar can be put in?
