    you cant judge that with the same measure during an invasion, because mostly the invasion creatures attack you and not the other way round. at least in crowd fights there is no use trying to sort out the owners of 20 bags on the floor amongst 10 fighting chars.

    on wednesday for example i only killed 4 creatures of a crowd, but others left behind 10 bags and went away to fight elsewhere...so of course i took them. on the other hand, if ever a player PMs me, that it was HIS bag, i'd leave it or return it to him of course. (and jumping on single bags or db in invasions without returning them is just despicable imho)

    but after all a big part of the fun in invasions is, that its more chaotic :)

    i dont mind high level players fighting foxes with me at all - and most of them probably dont mind me shooting at a dragon even if its of nearly no use...

    just a small proposal:

     

    maybe if the #killme command would be renamed to #deleteme,

    it would be more clear to ppl, what it does.

    Dunno how big the problem is with ppl who use that command by accident, but at first sight, i would only expect, that it only _kills_ my char, not delete it.

     

    (i used the forum search, so bash me mildly :) )

    i think the whole debate around this is rather pointless. You wont solve any PK-problems by reducing the possibilities for players or reducing empty PK-arenas on C2 imho. It's just fine, that there are different possibilities in the game, and when pk'ers prefer to use only a few of them, then thats the choice of those players and can be different tomorrow, or when other ppl play.

    The only two things with substance to be discussed seem to me the TS thing and the lvl cap for certain arenas.

    i agree with this:

    I am tired of people saying: 'Omfg, rostos and cooldowns killed the PK". Or: "PK sucks in EL because there is no gain from it".

    I want this map to be a living reminder on how this is not the case.

    To teach him some manners I refused to get off the bag and told him why.

     

    during my short time in this wonderful game here, only one person was unpolite to me without reason so far, guess who.

    Respect and politeness are not unidirectional.

    Being old enough in RL to say that, i dont play this game for being taught any manners and probably others think so as well.

    Correct behaviour imho would have been to step off the bag and say some words about politeness, but staying on the bag as a 'punishment' is just the behaviour that i heard many ppl complaining about, although noone dares to speak out loud. (yes, i know i risk a forum ban with this)

    (i am not a native speaker myself, but you probably understand well enough)

     

    best regards,

    PS: i know, that we have to be thankful for every hour, that the person behind 'LabRat' improves the game client with his good work, but i think this should be separated from in-game-things, and if not, it should at least be clearly stated.

    the offer is about a beautiful Titanium Plate Mail,

    which is worth around 80kgc according to the pricecheck of a well-known information source in the game

     

    The Auction runs from now till Sunday (25.5.2008 22:00 GMT)

     

    The start price of the auction is 73k gc.

     

    You can only bid by replying here.

    You can instantly buy for the price of 82kgc (first poster wins in that case)

    The start price is of course also the minimum price.

     

    thx for your attention :)

    2 things first:

    - i'm quite a new player so i know that i dont know much of the game yet

    - changes of the game maker and owner should be respected (and non-paying players have no right to demand anything)

     

    i just want to add one aspect, since it not only refers to this change alone.

    as i read in this thread, the more advanced players just buy more aug leather armor when the break rate is higher.

    so in fact, the change is imho harder for players like me (training on large spiders, leos), since i dont have thousands of gc in my sto.

    I've seen on other places, that the discussions mostly take into account the older, long term players, which seem to have huge amount of stuff and gc. (which is understandable of course)

    I only want to plead for this: just take into account all levels of players and how they are affected. If its only the fluffy problem, that is to be solved, then why making the game harder for players, that are far from fighting a fluffy? If you want to cut on the high end chars, then cut on them directly, dont only make it harder for new players to get there - that seems a little disbalanced imho, and of course new players want to become as good as old players are.

     

    Additionally from my current point of view (see above), i'd propose two things:

    - *withdrawn*

    - just a thought: consider to introduce aging of chars: that might be a good possibility to limit the number of high end players in the game (think of it as an economy for exp)

     

    last not least: this game is gr8, thx for letting me play it for free :)

    i have finally managed to get EL running on my laptop.

    Its a

    Acer Travelmate 8005LMi

    with

    ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (128MBVRAM)

    and WinXP as OS

     

    #glnifo

    Video card: MOBILITY RADEON 9700 x86/SSE2

    Vendor ID: ATI Technologies Inc.

    OpenGL Version: 2.0.6287 WinXP Release

     

    the last driver from acer is old (27.1.2004) and wasnt working with el.

    So i tried out some drivers from omegadrivers- not working.

    Then tried out some from here http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=18

    going from the newest version down to older ones.

    Since ATI had changed something regarding Mobility drivers around version 6.5 of the Catalyst driver, i expected a working one in this region.

    i found the

    DNA-ATi 5.0.7.1

    drivers working for me (see glinfo above) although they base on catalyst version 7.1 but who cares :)

    now even UVP is working on that laptop.

    in fact the descritpion of peace day mislead me as a new player.

    I went to pk map in the opinion that players wouldnt be able to kill me, as said in the desc.

     

    So maybe just change the desc to "...except for damage from mines" , then nobody is mislead.

     

    I welcome the spirit of this day and to bring it to life while playing, but as we see, others feel different and play different...thats ok imho.

     

    :hug:

    1.6.0 update was running perfect.

    Then i tried higher resolutions (above 1280x1024x32) , which had the result, that all characters become invisible.

    Could be solved by restarting game at lower res.

     

    thx for your good work!
