Will we need to switch to PK mode? And will we lose EXP for dying?

Is it worth joining in, sitting back at a safe distance and watch (and laugh) or avoiding it all entirely? b:victory

    If it's anything like the "Kill the GM" event, none of it will matter because everything will be one big ball of lag. :P

    Sorry that's not particularly helpful, but... yeah.

    one of the GM's asked me to post the following:

    For the Invasion Event this afternoon, you will not have to turn PK mode on.

    Also keep in mind that with the 1.5x bonus XP going on this week, you have a chance to get some serious XP!

    In order to alleviate some of the lag and make it more fair for people of all levels, we're going to be splitting the Invasion event up into two areas. One area will be for players under level 50. The other area will be for players above level 50. The mobs summoned at these areas will match up better with the level range of the players involved.

    The event will still take in and around Pierced Heart Lake. The GMs will separate the groups from there, so keep an eye out for their instructions beforehand.

    Again, the event times on each server are as follows (in Pacific Time):

    Heaven's Tear 2:30 p.m.
    Lost City: 3:00pm
    Sanctuary: 3:30pm

    I reached over level 50 just in time then, but I'll be among the weakest of the 50+'s. b:surrender

    To the best of my knowledge, bosses don't give much xp, unless you use a call of duty tablet in the FB...

    QFT also.

    And to Dvorak / whoever else came up with the idea, it's a great one, thanks for it. :D Though I dunno if it'll do much about the lag... I guess we can hope.

    Hopefully by having 2 separate invasion encounter locations per server we can reduce the lag even if only somewhat.

    Can't wait to see how it all turns out.

    getting pked repeatedly by level 90+ people in the under 50 area was so much fun...the GMs did a great job of separating everyone. NOT

    The separation was not to avoid PvP, it was to differentiate between the levels of the bosses that were being summoned. If you were in the low-level group and got PK'd repeatedly, then my advice to you would be "cry more noob" because you made that choice when you decided to play on a PvP server.

    Wow, what a point you've made. So from now on all replies to posts about being KS'ed should contain something along the lines of: "Cry more noob, because you made that choice when you decided to play on a NON-PvP server."? That would really solve all problems. I applaud you... not.

    Regarding odb's statement:
    I for one love the pk-frenzy that's bound to occur, but the lower level you are, the tougher it gets to really enjoy events like this on Lost City.
    Now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it possible for people to attack monsters in a safe zone? Perhaps the GM's could create a zone like this that they allocate for future events if they want an event where a level 35 player can actually focus on the event, instead of staying away from people that hold green (or better) weapons :) Have one in this (remote) safe zone with lower level bosses, and the other in a normal one.

    Anyhow, it's just a thought. I don't even know if it's (easily) possible. All I know is that providing a thought like this is at least a lot more constructive than just mindlessly cussing at someone else that just granted some feedback.
