Suggestion: PVP book enables item loot

[Yukahwa]

Best thing about item loot is making no drop gear worth while. At this point I would almost be pissed if they implemented item loot because I would have rolled a human cleric instead of a halfling.

People imagining these terrible scenarios with item loot obviously never played it. It just means its worthwhile to have twinks and its worthwhile to try to gank twinks. Sure, some twinks are running around murdering folks just for fun, but a lot of them are after other twinks rubi BP's. Its a lot of fun.

Either way I think that P99 crowd is too blue to go with item loot, I don't know if its a good idea at this point.

As per flagging for item loot..no point. As mentioned, if you stayed flagged, a gank squad would log on, flag, and murder you, and then turn in their unflag books and play it safe for a week or whatever until they were safe to use their gear again.

If flagging was both optional and permanent, the risk would not be worth it, and it would be really uncommon.

Thats not really a problem, make it 2 or 3 weeks if we have to.

The real problem to me is how do we stop non-flagged from nuking down friends to prevent item loot.

I remember item loot on original VZ.

/engage PVP opponent w/full resist gear (mostly droppable)

/outcome shifts in your favor (yesss.... hope I get SMR)

/tide turns and now odds are against you

/maniac run in other direction while opening all bags to put gear up while also screaming at the top of your lungs and banging desk/keyboard


Good times.....

As an idea I think it has merit.


Giving people more options to PvP and certainly an outlet for the real hard core pvp'ers can't be a bad thing.


The key word there is option...

If you don't choose to enable the option why is it so wrong if somebody else wants too heh. (unless it makes you feel you aren't really "hardcore" anymore lol)


but yah no point in tearing apart a good idea with specific game mechanics or what if's


like "what if a lvl 10 accidentally trades lulz" (um GM unflag them or unflag quest of some sort?)



the devil is in the details.. but i support the general concept

Give us a daily "happy - item loot - hour". 7 to 8pm.

Thx in advance to the satff, that cares so much about us.

Me personally, when I make a post, I read it back to myself to make sure it makes sense, is relevant, and actually explains/addresses issues with the point i'm trying to get across.

oldfish on the other hand just goes full on retard, necro bumps a thread from 4 months ago (before the server even launched) with a terrible one-liner idea that addresses none of the blaring issues with it, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with current server issues.

i must say, it is quite the mix up from his usual posts about xp loss causing the apocalypse and ending mankind.

Right, except i edited it.

Full retard indeed.

Has nothing to do with adding pvp incentives because we all know how often it happens below 50, alot.

Would certainly not help spice it up and provide motivation to roll alts, get people to lose some of that shiny gear, stimulate the economy.
