Dugur Report post Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Atm Desert Pines arenas can be used to take advantage of newcomer mistakes by using poison during fights - target disses without mana and goes outside to die. Most often because not being able to read the situation in the hassle and too late noticing they're poisoned. This in no way encourages new players to try learn PK. In most of the cases the looter is old player with alt char who knows the tricks. Ofc there's nothing against rules in poison looting (or is this in category of "Do not patronize, mislead, or take advantage of people as they become acquainted with the environment and make beginners mistakes"?) and there's many ways to avoid losing items out there but the main problem here is that ppl in 40's arena can be... clueless. Easy prey. So what I suggest is to make the surrounding area of the 40's arena no drop too to add a bit of newcomer protection. There's no need to do the same to 60's or KF because players there already have or should have enough game experience to avoid mistakes. #edit: The corner coords of the area I'm thinking of would be (area surrounded by stone wall) 48, 251 | 71, 251 48, 234 | 71, 234 Edited July 25, 2009 by Dugur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

korrode Report post Posted July 25, 2009 Dugur's suggestion is good. We want newcomers to have fun, so they continue playing, not be 'tricked' into losing their gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chosen Report post Posted July 26, 2009 I love poisoning people and getting there drops. (Not so much now I removed my Will. ) Although, for DPA, this is a good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathanstenzel Report post Posted July 27, 2009 Dugur comes up with some ideas that I do not like, but I like this one. I honestly don't remember if there is a message that says you are poisoned by magic or not. I don't get poisoned that way often. Perhaps if there is, you could even have a message saying "You are poisoned and about to leave a no drop zone. That might not be a good idea." if that is the case.

Raytray Report post Posted July 27, 2009 Being poisoned does give a message. The abotu to leave a no drop zone addition to that wouldn't really help imo, and it would be harder than just making that area nd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
