Life Skillers Issues and what we are facing!

Another post making me more sad than the last.

I hope you find a game and community you enjoy.

@Kitamura_Ko I'm curious to know your pov on this kind of mechanic. What if you had a higher chance to get killed, but also an almost 100% chance to get your lost resources back and a buff to your artisan profession yields for some period of time. Would this be worse than just rarely getting killed, but definitely not getting your stuff back?

Obviously the "not getting killed at all" would be much better, but out of those two - which would you prefer?

And that's exactly what I was thinking about. I want to push towards a proper balancing of the corruption system, where repetitive kills from the same person would fuck over that person, while one/two-off kills from different people on the same player could still happen somewhat often.

But that higher rate of deaths would be outweighed by BHs returning the victim's mats to them and the game providing a small buff to let the victim come back to their pre-death state faster (cause death has quite a few penalties).

To me it seems fair, because the victim will almost always get revenged and get their lost stuff back, while people can still PK someone else w/o destroying their character immediately, all the while the BH system is completely justified because it is the exact thing that provides the returnal of mats and the buff for the victim.

Which is why I asked about it. I'm a pvper, so I wouldn't know what is the bigger evil for the gatherer - is it the death itself or the losses related to it. Cause if it's purely the fact of dying at the hands of another player - Ashes will be a hard game to play for people with that issue. But if it's the loss of mats/time - that could be addressed, w/o effectively removing open world pvp.

Yeah, both sides have their shitty people that ruin the whole name of the group for the rest of said group.
