Pride Report post Posted January 27, 2008 I did a search and nothing came up. For a while, people have been complaining that PK is dead. Even on the PK server it is hard to find people to kill at some parts of the day. Me and a guildie went looking at a bunch of the maps for about 20 mins and found like 1 afk harvester. We ended up giving up and he went to go do his thing, i went afk. So I suggest that we have a new command to list the number of people on the map we're on. So instead of people not even bothering to look, they can check if there are people on the map, and if there are, they can go looking. This sounded good when it popped into my head >.> Dunno if it'll be hard to implement. What do you guys/gals think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zamirah Report post Posted January 27, 2008 I think a good idea, have been thinking of it too. At least for pk maps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matty27 Report post Posted January 27, 2008 Why should the PKers get something that monster trainers do not? I think Neil was being a little sarcastic, but if PKers get a chance of finding out if there is anyone they can go to fight, why not the monster trainers? Or we could extend this to another command that helps the harvesters by taking them straight to the nearest resource of their choice. Perhaps #harv_itemname for that?

Pride Report post Posted January 27, 2008 I know neil was being sarcastic Nobody is stopping you guys from suggesting a command like that. But what good will a command like that do? It'll list the monsters, but how would you know if any1 is training on them? This is a bit diff. than a/d training because if you can't find anything your lv to train on, you can ts and train on something else. Or if that doesn't work, double TS. Thing is for some PKers out there, it's all they do. They complain that PK is dead and they don't bother to look, then they quit and that sucks. And Matty if you don't like the suggestion, don't be a sarcastic ass about it. Say what you think would give PKers too much of an edge and how it doesn't benefit other ppl or w/e.

Khalai Report post Posted January 27, 2008 Abusable, you can too easily hunt mercury runners and all other PK harvesters. At the moment, you have to look by yourself risking being beaten, now you wouldn't have to be, so there is big advantage with nothing to balance it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's what we want, there will soon be thousands of new players in game. Will make it easier to get some PK-drops.

Pride Report post Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) grats, zam yeah everyone's expecting a load of players soon and thank you khalai. That's more the type of criticism i was looking for not, "why don't we have a command to see where the nearest outhouse is" kind of BS Edited January 27, 2008 by swordofflame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michic0_oL Report post Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) great.... whats the point of camo cape / invis spell or potion if there is a command to tell ppl who is on the map... Edited January 28, 2008 by Michic0_oL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanyel Report post Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) great.... whats the point of camo cape / invis spell or potion if there is a command to tell ppl who is on the map... The point is to make it easier to get some PK-drops. Isn't it obvious? PKers want to PK players. Preferably players should queue to get PKed. Otherwise PKing is dead!!111~ Edited January 28, 2008 by Kheres Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zamirah Report post Posted January 28, 2008 When I harvest on pk maps, do I have the minimap open, easy to see if people are near. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanyel Report post Posted January 28, 2008 When I harvest on pk maps, do I have the minimap open, easy to see if people are near. As far as I know minimap shows only people that are in your range of sight. It has nothing to do with the abovementioned command. Moreover, if minimap solves your problems then why you insist on having this command? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know minimap shows only people that are in your range of sight. It has nothing to do with the abovementioned command. Moreover, if minimap solves your problems then why you insist on having this command? I don't. No need with the minimap, but I had been thinking of it before. You can see people on the minimap when they are 20 -25 steps away - before range of sight. But if you are looking for a fight on a big map, would it be nice to know if other are there too. I have seen PKers enter a big map, made ready to go there too - take some time - and they are impossible to find. Maybe they left because the map was empty, maybe they still are searching for other players. I don't pm them and ask them for fight, I guess they would call their friends for help.

Pride Report post Posted January 28, 2008 yeah, it's nice to know if there are people on the map. Not the names of people on the map, jsut the number would be real nice. And it's cool for the peeps that get merc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sadarar Report post Posted January 28, 2008 OK, so working on the assumption that PKers are in it for the thrill of the fight, and not just for free drops/easy PK points/bullying/etc..... Why not set up a PK channel? you can say "who wants to fight" and meet up wherever you choose. No need to trawl through all the maps to see how many people there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No need to trawl through all the maps to see how many people there there's no honesty btwn ppl here than u don't know.(edit:even between ppl u DO or thought you knew. I had newb friends that were weaker suddenly summon on me or kill me after they bought higher chars) You meet up for a fight, 3 secs later, there's a load of summons and 5 invis ppl coming out of nowhere xD people are trying to liven up PK with some PK contests, and those are pretty fun, but lots of em are on saturdays :/ Edited January 28, 2008 by swordofflame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sadarar Report post Posted January 28, 2008 3 secs later, there's a load of summons and 5 invis ppl coming out of nowhere xD Pretty much the same thing as "You turn up naked to collect some mercury, and suddenly a guy in full tit and thermal serp shows up and pwns you" So the suggestion above of making newbs form an orderly queue to be PK'd is seeming more on topic Maybe we could just make IP into PK and that would give Pkers all the targets they need Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
