Agro in PvP area

Post by sky001 »

The PvP area is great, this was a needed additional to SoR. But please scale back on the agros. It's almost impossible to play unless your in a high level team. Us low level players don't even have a chance for survival. I hate ending the day with a million plus death penalty.

First, by Nevrax's own admission, the agroness IS toned down. The kitins do NOT spawn every two minutes as usual, but only every ten minutes instead.

Second, it is a PvP area. You choose to go there, you face the consequences of your choice. An argument thrown at us Hominists so very often, so stop complaining and face the consequences of your choices. If you can't take the heat of a PvP-zone, don't go there.

Also, they said it would be toned down, IIRC, it wasn't yet.

Or blame the fighters and mages that were suppossed to protect you from harm. They are the ones leaving you to the kinchers' mercy.

Clarification Text about Kitin Spawns
Kitin spawns

To lower the death penalty you get when you play on the new harvesting map, we'll slow down the kitin respawn rate here. Instead of respawning every 2 minutes, they'll respawn every 10 to 15 minutes.
And, Jyudas, as for that pimpslap, you know how I like it, my big Fyros-daddy!

A PvP area. Oh so that's what it is. I thought it was an area designed to help progress the ongoing storyline of the Sage Of Ryzom...

There is no constraint on people with this viewpoint whether you are for or against PvP the fact that so many can and are simply ignoring the entire storyline with no penalty simply has boiled down to giving us another arena with marginally better scenery.

As it is this has added little to the game but has instead taken away from one thing we already had which is a great community.

Just adding: i have experienced ppl having alt karavan chars pulling the kinchers on us, i have sadly not found the sinners name, but i will do some time, one of the times it was obviuos; saw a blue dot coming closer, he stopped for cpl of secs and i saw him bomb nuke he kinchers, then he ran for us, of course 15 kitins got us down. this is unfair that the kamis use this way.
Plz devs do something about this

You know we can do the same to them right?

Anyway, the next patch will lengthen the kinchers' respawn time:

That will make kincher dragging slightly less effective as a pvp tactic.
