Red curious...

So what is it called when a fellow pc camps a person and just almost kills them... and won’t let them do anything... camping out included? Thought maybe suicide by npc was a way out but no.
I’d rather have just been killed, bowed in defeat and gone about our business, but that wasn’t even allowed, after dying multiple times respawning nearby (newbie zone) and the whole cycle repeated until I had to /q and then came back later to yet another corpse.
Notes taken and now understanding what ‘fun’ is on red.
See you around

Who was it? Where? Out of curiosity. This is pretty rare. You found a troll.

Normally u can /q or just unplug your network or turn your wifi off a sec. Or run to zone and do the same you will instantly pop out of the world.

Now I'm really curious who it is.

When initially attacked in newbie grounds I thought I’d just take my beating, reapawn and move on. I wasn’t terribly worried about avoiding a loss. But when they persisted after multiple death/respawn cycles it got really old really quick.

FoB?

I can respect your not calling the toons name out.

The server should know though.

I wasn't on to see your death msgs.

Usually those kinds of players will lose interest in 30 minutes or so if ya switch to your alt. They get impatient quick here. Sad I wasn't on. My cleric is near FoB. I could've healed ya!

Is “loot and scoot” still a thing on red? If so, how does it work?

[magnetaress]

Loot and Scoot

Dunno if OP knew about it, we neglected to mention. He could gone to SoNH or LoIO a min.

He needs to actually die tho. Iksars are in a weird spot as newbies with their regen and skeles.

Thats why we should know about the other party involved here. So we can do something about it. Load up Fraps if we see this person engage us. Etc.

It happened in N Qeynos newbie yard; I had switched over and was playing my Bard. Technically my deaths were by npc (so no YTs) because I had been trying to use an aoe dmg spell and it aggro’d the yard trash. One can only claim L&S after pvp death, right? But after /q’ing I died without aoe song going so lists been at the hand of this other toon. Idk if there was any YT or not. So out of 4 deaths, only 1 was technically result of pvp; although the others would have never happened without pvp contact.
After finally being able to escape his elementary school yard shenanigans, I did play my Iksar Necro for awhile. I /w’d his name and he was gone so I swappped back over. Luckily I was only a handful of kills from L5 and I had already purchased my song (Selo’s) and a cheap hand drum. Next time I’ll just run away! Haha

ya but you can LnS if they are griefing u and mobs kill u, there was another player invovled. That caveat is simply so people can't run in and train a zone, die to mobs and LnS. So if your not using LnS to cheat some pvp encounter your gonna be fine. If someone casts a spell on u or tries to hit u with white damage, even if it don't land, and a dragon eats u, it wasn't a PvE death, u were in pvp. Make sure to enable /log, shout your lns and get timestamps of any attack the player takes against you, that'll get em suspended (I hope, not permabanned) but Gms can be harsh. You'll be an instant hero if someone gets suspended who's a big time raider in Apex or Perdition, to one side or another, but I wouldn't say go out of your way for this, just it's part of the server dynamics. It's hard to explain. Maybe someone else can do a better job than I.

Congratz on surviving your first pvp encounter! There is a babarian in qeynos that got me at the bank, wonder if it was the same person?

I have been logged in AFK in nektulous like 4 days (so close to lvl 9). Want to try and hit level twelves but my family has some time off and I haven't been inclined to log in.

Thing's will definately get easier on the bard, as soon as you can afford a few 'pumice stones' (sold in qeynos near the mages guild in that little area with the herbs), pick up two, and if someone roots yourself you can usually pumice it off and run away with selos.

Qeynos is usually way more peaceful than nektulous and field of bone or lake of ill omen lol.

Another zone to be a bit warry of is mistimoore and unrest, and overthere.

I'm sure the other guy was happy to see another player in game, maybe they will re-evaluate attacking repeatedly you next time (probably not lol), but sometimes I quit, and I wish I had stayed on the server a little longer just to out level the player killer and hang out were they were botherin me [You must be logged in to view images.

It's possible to make friends too, ppl will not say 'hi' sometimes they'll kill ya a few times.

Got to talk about this stuff and let people know if they have a guild tag lol. There's some real cute sherrifs in RV

thanks for sharing ur newbie experience btw

[DBStrong]

It got me a bit pissy in the moment, but no biggie in the larger picture of things. Thanks for sharing the protocol for future instances if/when they occur.
It was a human SK for what it’s worth. Fairly sure it was an alt of someone else traveling through the zone and noticing a lowbie in the yard that was in level range for their own lowbie alt to harass. I noticed them and then that person gone and the pk’er on. Lesson learned and notes taken. No guild tags that I noticed.

Something completely different- first took started in Qeynos area and I’ve noticed NO spiders! None in newbie yard, none in QHills and can’t find any nearby in WK. someone did there are some in aqueducts, but I couldn’t find any. Sucks for trying to start tailoring. It was suggested to just dump practice points and go straight to patchwork. I’ll figure it out I suppose; just never thought a newbie area would be so devoid of spiders. Lol

I haven’t been keeping up with your journal but in the time you have written all this nonsense I’d definitely have two chars above lvl5. I’d tend to think you’re a complete newb or just not a good player, which is exactly the quality that red99 has been producing for years.

[magnetaress]

the mats for patchwork are so cheep i just failed like 20 mask combines to skill it up, didn't even put points in it, been skilling it up on my mage for raw silk next

finally dinged 9, got like 20 tailoring )

bring a small sewing kit, mask pattern, and you'll be good to go, sucks that u wont have easy access to silk thread for padded leather until u hit everfrost though.

make sure to grab to make a skinning knife, also pretty easy after churning out metal bits, lvl 10-15 is agood level to start those as gnolls drop some good coin and you'll have sellos. and you'll get gnoll fangs while farming the plat for it
