So... you can PK in secret passage now while being blue named.....
Know that can't be right aside from the fact you know that pking in there is bannable. Also, you can fly on your flying mount and I think Nix's can be used. b:shutup

Uhhh yeah X.X Gotta be a bug

    Yes it actually works, flying and my Nix can be used.

    Now if only they enabled it for the BH/FB instances maybe the Nix Veno won't be considered so useless anymore and I can take it out of mothballs.

    Already have people abusing and breaking the rule on Dreamweaver shock shock. Lets hope they do some enforcing of the no PK unlike the way they ignore the reports of people Pking in room one of the cube.

    This function was not intended, and will be fixed as soon as they figure out what went wrong. Until that time, neither of these bugs should be exploited.

    Should we expect a fix in three years or four?

    I think the abuse is blown out of proportion. In 2 years on HT, only once did someone try and PK me in Room 1 of the cube and never in SP.

    Besides, it is bannable. Screenshot it if it ever happens.

    Personally I like being able to fly there. In fact they should make most instances flyable. There really is no technical reason why they don't, except maybe people trying to escape mob by flying. But if Sins can do it by using Shadow Escape why don't they give other classes the option too?

    I am not so sure how the flying can be exploited. :X

    You can NOT go past mobs in the air, they will still eat you for lunch, if you can't handle them. b:laugh

    It would be nice if they let the flying stay, as I stated above, mobs can NOT be avoided in air... at least in first room. ;x lol

    As for the pking... well that was ban-worthy in the first place, glitch or no glitch.

    This zone is now the ONLY always open free PK zone in the game.

    That's pretty epic for PK events. No scrolls lost, no gear dropped, just good clean fun. You don't have to be stuck in white name either.

    I think in light of this the pk rule of SP should be revisited. Just change it to no harassing low levels trying to do their quests.

    The thing is, players often don't know the true definition of harassment, and flood the GMs with tickets about accidental killings. This is what resulted in the rule the first time, save for the few true jerks who were griefing other players.

    If they made a separate more specific instance for this same setup it would be amazing.

    So is there a reason you can fly, you don't go red, you can't drop items, and you get autoported out of SP now if it's not meant for PK still? b:sad You had my hopes up

    IMHO, they should allow flying in SP and BHs but not PK. Open the Arena for PK like it was in the PW-MY version instead, I still don't understand why they don't.

    Maybe if the US servers had the Arena to practice in freely the US team chosen wouldn't have sucked so bad in the PWIC vs other teams.

    2 new pk rooms (PWIC?) were added to secret passage:

    Cloud Arena
    Sky Arena

    this is why you can currently pk and fly in secret passage (whole map)

    npc's to teleport into these rooms are currently missing
    when you go inside those rooms you can choose physical or magical GM warsoul weapon

    So does that mean you have to be lvl 100+ or something to enter Arenas? That would suck.

    100 is achievable via gooning for 2-3 days w/ no prospect of being banned.

    Seriously, people can have a lot of fun with this, and I believe it isn't a bug. Just the officials here didn't know about it lol.

    Sarcasm noted, lol.

    But seriously, there should be places on non-pvp servers, the MAJORITY of the servers and players, where players of all levels can have fun in group PvP without going white named.

    Not everyone is in a race to 100+

    Edit: Ok if it is 80+ ... not so bad.

    if this isnt a mistake, and it's pwi's way of encouraging people to enjoy PvP again (and give incentive to the bluenames on PvE servers to pk because you can target even whites as a blue name there and not drop items), they just made the game amazingggggggggggggg again

    So of all places to do this change, they chose a place filled with mobs on top of it being a very low level instances with low level players doing quests and cultis there.... please try and come up with some form of common sense before you post.
