archgold Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I haven't started a new class in ages....and when I do BAM! right in the face I get to level 15th and get stolen from, pked by, attacked by, full looted after death, and everything else you can think of. It's sent me running for my life, over and over again. It's not just one character but two or three, and other characters I don't play have posted such on forums as well. It seems to me people at such low levels have become hostile and the IMMs aren't doing as much as they once did. I remember the time when I had (around 15ish a bit higher or lower) an ogre warrior and a ogre zerk attacked me....I killed him...then he attacked me again and he killed me.(I'm pretty sure this doesn't give anyway anything since this was quite some time ago) Then Eshaine pops up and commands us not to pk unless we want to get banned..... Then there was this other time....but anyways what's happening? is there no more new class starter friendly system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Adventurers? They give you a chance to learn the realms, after that, it's about time you got your feet wet in the PK environment, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archgold Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 its not like i don't know how to pk, but i've seen this guy at 17th w/ some divine axe as a weapon(he didn't pk me but did to someone else).......and this other guy with two pieces of rlly rlly rlly good armor...not that I'm complaining about good armor, but isn't tat a bit unfair?

Raargant Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 It's generally, in my experience, the newer players who attack at low levels to begin with. It's just not worth the time, or exciting, or satisfying, honestly, for most 'veteran' players. But yes, if you see excessive low level PK'ing, feel free to note us IG, or post on the prayers forum.

archgold Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 newer players.....hmmm....time to roll up a warrior/zerk then....teach them what they shouldn't do.....*grumble* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zavero Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I never seem to have any problem with people attacking me at that level. I even trained almost every skill on an ogre berserker sitting at level 15, no one attacked me. Then again, I was an ogre berserker, and who wants to attack one of those at 15? Not me. I usually get attacked around 30 for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Ya know, I have been seeing some ridiculous equipment at low level ranks occasionally. That bothers me a lot more than aggressiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeleeCrazy Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I happens to me every now and again. Doesn't bother me unless they do it over and over...I don't like fighting until fifty, seems kinda pointless to beat someone who isn't at their best and let's face it noone's really their best till pinnacle, I think low level PK is cheap....

crackwilly21 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 What you do is take EVERY advantage you can and pound their asses into the dirt. I did so recently with a char that shouldn't have been as powerful as I was, and I was VERY suprised...don't discount certain items that you normally would...they can be VERY helpful.

archgold Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 so i should try and make ppl lose lives before pinn so once they pinn they'll be close to condeath without multipking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackwilly21 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Yes....indeed... Yes....indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goomf Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Contrary to popular belief, the game doesn't start at level 50. It's just that everyone IS level 50, thus, it's the most challenging there (and you don't have to worry about leveling up or xp loss). Level 50 is just the most exciting. That's about it.

Mister E Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Yeah it can be tough at low ranks, specially for some classes, but if you get killed more than once by someone, thats multi (provided do didnt go attack them) and if they kill you with really good eq at low ranks like that, pray about it, they will liekly be punished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Child Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Who cares about making people loose lives? I've never condeathed a character, and I probably never will. I don't even think I've had a character with more than 10 deaths, I usualy get bored with it and delete it before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackwilly21 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 If you have issues, take my advice about using obscure items, scrolls, wands, staves and mercs...they REALLY REALLY give you an advantage...just like some flamestrike wands that I found...oh, what fun.

roma Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 If people complain about this so much why don't you code something in to protect against it? If you're not supposed to pk at low ranks then why do you get the PK flag at rank 10? If you shouldn't be decked out in crazy armor at low ranks then why isn't there a set limit to how many rares you can wear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Child Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 You cannot wear rares below lvl 15, if they are decked in rares at lvl15 and pking, report it and they will be punished. And the pk flag is set at lvl 10 because THAT IS WHERE PK BEGINS AND IS LEGAL!!! Hard to believe? Most players believe that pk sub-30 is trash, some even say sub-40 is trash. And some of it is. However if you have a valid rp reason to kill someone, and did not cheat to get your wares (using the adventuruer thing is borderline cheating and if used for pk will be considered as such, see the other thread) then YOU ARE FREE TO PK AT LVL 10! I've done it before. Newer players are trying to figure out this whole pk thing and to them 30 is weeks of play away. So they start to experiment at 15-20 when they have gotten some neat new armor and some cool spells/skills they want to try out. If they repeatedly kill you, then report it. If they are decked in rares sub 30 and pking alot report it. If they have pets higher lvl than they are and using them to pk report it. If they are not rping (not neccesarily by your definition, but at all) report it. If you arn't sure, report it. The Imms here do a very good job policing the mud, both in and out of game. They however do have lives and cannot be everywhere 24/7. Pray, note to imm, post in the prayer section if you have an issue. However, just because someone kills you at lvl 10, does not mean what they are doing is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpnow Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 They have a divine reckoning at lvl 17, you say? The way I have come to see it, classes aren't balanced until 50, so pking then is usually just cheap shots with the rank advantages of your char. Its like a thief at rank 35(I admit I have had a few), you can take down anything with no effort...but is that really playing the game to its fullest potential? My advice is to rank over them, kill them and sacrifice the divine reckoning. A lvl 17 who is of a class that CAN use an axe doesn't NEED one that powerful because the axe wielding classes are overpowered at the lower ranks anyway.

However, just because someone kills you at lvl 10, does not mean what they are doing is wrong. I agree somewhat. Learning to PK is tough and frustrating (atleast that's been my ongoing experience). Just because game is balanced at 50 doesn't mean one should pinn before they start trying to learn the ropes. I personally like slowing down in the mid ranks and trying to learn. Of course that isn't to say that multi-killing with or without uber-gear pre-50 is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Child Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I agree, and if they do that they should be reported, and the Imms will handle it. Or just own thier punk n00b butts and full loot em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
