Turn guardzone off during invasions

[GluttonySDS]

Honestly, I think Glutt's idea was really good of having these events still be in guardzone but have a different invasion area not guarded and have the loot be 2x better or something to that effect. So basically risk/reward. That way, if you want to not worry about PKs at all, you can stay in the guarded invasion zone for regular loot drops but if you want to risk getting better stuff you risk going to the PK area.

Everyone wins that way!

Agreed

Threads dying bad ideas abound.

• ?? You seem to be the only die hard pure trammy, against all ideas for it guy. All ideas seem to somewhatr support no guards?

IMO having the same old cookie cutter invasions over and over is pretty boring. Getting guard whacked at least adds some lols to an otherwise fairly mindless event.

Can't wait for the 127th Ocllo Invasion.

I have to agree with StegcO

No solution from me other than looting a blue corpse should turn you gray rather than guard whack.
If someone in your area is a noto pk - then that's on them for being a dbag.

As for opening up the cities for PKing on a PvM event. It's a bad idea and will kill the event - so if it gets opened up, it should be for limited times only.

Arguments of more blues vs reds are mostly invalid. The numbers that really count are coordinated forces vs disjointed targets. That's why the brit bridge is always a royal blue cluster fuck right?

Just my piece - it'd be fun for about 20 minutes and then subsequently kill the invasion event from the PvM/RP/whatever perspective.

If you didn't get guard whacked there would be 10 people following you around waiting to steal the loot off the monster you just killed .....

Antin had a good in no pks looting a blue flags u grey but no gwhackl, so everyone will attack. Right now it is a no risk all reward event. Got to ad some risk.

 

[King Dingaling]

how about....

u still flag but not instant whacked? only downside is dickheads just running around looting everyone elses kills. so in the long run..i say keep it the way it is. i manually click the corpse to make sure its grey to me before i loot. no auto loot..or trying to hurry up and loot without making sure. ive never been guard whacked.

imo...its the price u pay for being careless?

I think the issue is looting a mob that will flag you criminal. The mobs get teleported around, so even though you think you killed it, you don't have the looting rights. This has caused a bunch of sour moments in the past. I think turning off the looting rights to mobs would solve the problem.

And seriously, no guards? The crying would be outrageous. It doesn't matter at all that the blues outnumber the reds. 6 reds in TS/Mumble/Discord vs 30 blues not in VOIP would be a disaster for the blues.

Not sure if turning looting rights off is the correct way to deal with this, but I fully agree that this is an issue. Last time I lost an entire slayer armor because I took out 200gp out of a coprse that I killed... with another corpse overlapping. Followed up by 10 vultures looting you dry. Yeah, that was pretty much the last event I bothered with.

Hmmm is it possible to add a client option that would prevent looting corpses of other players? Or give a warning/confirmation like you get with attacking innocent players / taking moongates in town / etc.. ?

theres already a warning...but i can agree with u. the warning is in gray letters and like 8 font in the corner of the screen lol. needs to be like a window gump in the middle of the screen?

You can turn on this window:

"Query before performing criminal actions" shows a small window with a green "okay" and a red "Cancel" button.

You are right, except that it's easily overlooked by the shitload of razor spam messages and other things happening.

Yup, that's the one I'm refering to. But it doesn't apply for criminal looting.

right..im agreeing with u. im just saying there is a warning..but its not in gump form. tbh..i dont know why it wasny originally gump form. i think it should be added and also have the option of disabling it just like the attack gump that can be turned on or off.
