Corruption/pvp

Intrepid just needs to make it almost impossible to mob drop. That's it. Quite a lot of abuses of the current system come from there.

I feel like you're forgetting about PK count which will increase with each kill (that is corruption acquisition). So if the system works as you suggest and people like to do this "one hit and then the victim dies to other people" all the time - your PK count will shoot through the roof and your character will start gaining insane amounts of corruption even for single points of damage against a victim.

And soon enough there'll be no owpvp.

But then this doesn't work with the currently planned system at all. The whole system would need a bigger restructuring than just "make people get corruption if the touched a dead victim".

Currently PK count prevents people from just going on killing sprees (even if they're spread over a long time). But if the PK count can only be attributed to a single char or even no one in case of mobs - that's gonna be the main abuse of the system.

You do the exact same thing that was described here before. And the result is the same. People will clear corruption real quick and there's gonna be nothing on their record about them killing people.



I'd probably go with just another betterment of the BH system. If a group of people attacked and killed a person, the PKer immediately sends a ping to any BHs within a big radius, while his accomplices get a 5 minute flagged timer instead of the normal 90s (maybe even longer than 5m). And the BH ping includes info about it being a group gank.

So now BHs can go fight to their hearts' content. And they can call anyone pvp-likers they know too. This was a common practice in L2, just w/o the system-based reward for "BHs".

This is exactly why I'll be giving feedback to support the BH profession to a much greater extent.
