Corruption: Does it / Should it Diminish While Logged Out?

It's as if you're not reading my comments. I literally want more PK in the game. Like, way more than there'll be under the currently planned balancing.

Yeah, you want all the greens to leave the game, while I want more of them

Alts are not mains. I mean mains. I want a ton of completely casual completely carebear players in the game. And I want a ton of PKers to exist. And I want the system to support both, all the while supporting BHs who'd be killing the reds and supporting the greens.

Majority of your suggestions would just remove any and all casual/carebear players from the game.

I had a nightmare once where you were revealed to be Steven Sharif's alt account on the forums.

It's because it is actually so believable, that it was a valid nightmare instead of triggering a lucid dream.

I'd look for it, but right now I'm barely holding this page active, cause my RAM has gone completely fucked and my PC barely works. But your every other post is about how carebears are bad and shouldn't exist. And most of your suggestions are hardcore even for the hardcore players on the forum, so I'd say ~90% of your suggestions would absolutely remove all the greens from the game in one way or another.

Well you generally don't do that. You just overlook the effects it would have because you're one of those 'people should toughen up or not play!' people.

That's why I'm a carebear in comparison to you, because that term to me implies a person who would support a stressed teenager playing an MMO to be social, or a person with some sort of social anxiety issue trying to play an MMO casually because they can't do the 'real life' thing as easily.

To those people, you're a nightmare though.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I meant. The designs would just push people waaay beyond what most people are fine with.

I think I'm somewhere in the middle, cause I'd try to push those anxiety people into being social, but I'd try to come up with a way to make that push as painless as possible.

Yep, the type of person who murders a group of farmers taking their crop to market because 'it might feed a soldier I don't like at the castle'.

So, to get back to topic.

Corruption's goal is to prevent unwanted PvP, and in that I think it is doing the wrong thing but I can see that it will achieve that well. It will not achieve it as well if it diminishes while logged out.

If the goal were different, I'd be somewhat fine with it diminishing, or if the Corruption design itself was different, with the intention of softly creating moments of inescapable conflict for the Corrupted in a way they care about in that moment.

As it is now, it can't be allowed to diminish, it's already lenient in terms of 'how easy it is to evade real consequences for having it'. Something else would have to change.

My wish is that someone builds a system that makes PvP itself, even sudden PvP, a social experience, while removing the option for a single player or group to give a target a consistently negative experience.

If only someone would... I'm kidding I built it already.

But it does not fit Ashes because Ashes seems to have entirely opposite goals.

Why is 'Arya is Honorable' the only one without an image?

No, you're right. I conflated 'what I believe it will do and is creeping towards' with 'goal', and that's absolutely not correct, so yes.

Eh, I'm just discouraged at Intrepid today, I think. I'll take a break.
