CORRUPTION/OUTDOOR SYSTEM/PVP

Say it all with me, forum!

This. Game. Is. Not. For. You.

Oh, you're completely free to express your opinion on the game's systems. But Intrepid have said that being corrupted is not a viable gameplay style and the system, while allowing PKing here and there, exists to prevent genocidal tendencies that a lot of players like you (and me btw) have.

So if you

w/o consequences, then the game is not for you, because the game's core design is risk vs reward. And with higher rewards for killing a green player, the risk must also be higher.

There's gonna be a ton of ways to kill people w/o getting corruption, so you're free to use those, but if you just want to kill everyone you see then you'll be punished. And if you don't like that kind of design, then the game is not for you

Could you clarify for us, what is the penalty/discouraging point for a player who is carrying no resources, but has good gear already, and only wants to PvP anyway?

Again though, they prevent you from killing people who are literally not fighting back. No one is stopping you from participating in several different proper pvp encounters. Intrepid just wants to stop those who think that they should be able to kill whoever they want w/o consequences.

If you like and understand the risk part of the design, I don't understand why you're against harsher punishments for those who kill passive players who don't want to fight back.

Would you accept that killing a non-combatant player caused you to instantly lose experience, then?

You win the fight, but you lose exp anyway, as the form of discouragement for doing it.

Like I said several times, the developer is limiting the amount of pacifist people you can kill. The system is there to literally let you kill people when you want. But it doesn't let you just kill however many people you want.

The effectiveness of your stats and equipment would go down if you die too, not just due to corruption. And they will only go down due to corruption if you gain a shitton of it, so, yet again, the system is trying to prevent you from genociding innocence.

Yet again, as I said several times, there's several ways to participate in proper pvp where both sides agree to it: guild wars, node wars, castle/node sieges, enemy of the state mechanic, caravans, node ruins, open seas, other potential additions (just like seas and ruins were added recently).

All of those mechanics let you utilize your class in whichever way you want, all while having nothing to do with the corruption system and the killing of non-pvp people.

They aren't though. "Enemy" means that you're at war with them, which means that you don't get corruption for killing them.

And Intrepid doesn't want you killing anyone you want as much as you want. Which is why I said that the game is not for you, just as it is not for people who don't want to ever be killed in the game.

This is literally the case in the current system. You can PK people and BHs will go hunt you down. Except the game doesn't allow you to do this for days on end, because corruption is not meant to be a gameplay style.
