    The last time I tried this on my lowbie, I was killed. When you teleport it holds you outside the instance for a moment - right where there are a group of monsters with AoE attacks. ijs

    I can verify that, you indeed get teleported to the area for a split second before actually entering the FB instance - which could in fact get you killed by campers.

    The fact that you're too green to understand what pk is and that you're just making yourself a target for a lvl 105 r9 barb named Bubba to make you his ****. Just remember not to drop the soap ;)

    You know I glady agree with Lady Tsuki, this is a huge problem for PVE servers, infact the pk rate is why i left Harshlands for Archosaur. I couldn't handle being pked while i was questing. Especially multiple times then being told "It's a pk server, deal with it." That's why i left Harshlands before sinking another dime into the game. Am I better off? Sure! In the same time it took me to get a bm to lv 60 on Harshlands, I've gotten a Barb to 79, a BM to 91, a veno to 60, a cleric to 30, and now i'm working on decking out my seeker before he makes it past 41.

    Honestly, it is my opinion that PK should not exist on a non pk server. Either have the server be labeled pvp and have it completely open. Or have it labeled pve and don't allow any pking what so ever.

    Yup, Illusion Stone isn't a sure bet. Hell just the mobs that are in the room kill half the lowbies teleporting using the illusion stone. We've complained about that for eons. They should teleport you straight into the instance instead of into the doorway.

    but yeah, if a 100+ wiz sets up a DB right there at the door, it's gunna fry a lot of people.

    So really teleporting to Hall of Deception is really a horrible solution for lowbies and this whole thing is an utter snafu? Great now I'm going to delete all my alts until this **** gets fixed.

    Even though most of us are in our 40s and 50s, I have run into people as young as 12 on this game. BTW .... A lot of us in our 40s and 50s have grown up and are tired of seeing immature raunchy text in a game.


    You mentioned that the GMs barely log in. Do they ever log in. I have not seen any sign of a GM on the Heavens Tear server since I started playing in February of 2008. I do see many people begging to talk to a GM on world chat with no reply.

    :O how did you start playing February 2008? did you play in the closed closed beta? Cause this game started November 2nd 2008.................. Even in the closed beta being sometimes in julyish around those months I don't think you could have started in febuary 2008. You must mean 2009 and even if you do your still wrong because Pressa saw GMs until 2010 in the WC and Red text. Frequently........ Pressa used to Duel GMs when my character was 60ish and that was in 2009.

    I appreciate both sides opinion but as the current poll shows only 15% of those who voted support this change. There is as much support of it as the US Congressmen doing their job. almost 75% are against the new change and a vast majority of the population has not had the chance to even vote.

    Customer Service has caused this thread to go viral as they are now directing ALL traffic from tickets to this thread. So after a huge blunder they are causing their own trouble by further trying to shove it down our throats.

    Yes once again I state its not a good idea for it to be in SP thats literally the ONLY reason people are in a fuss. If it was a new instance no one would care some probably wouldn't hear about it ever. Its that its in SP that people are being whiny and yes I mean whiny because thats exactly what they are being. (I understand with good reason but whining is still whining no matter the reason)

    I was going to buy zen for packs but now not gonna happen, not pouring $ into game that let's my lil chars on pve server die instead of completing quests or grinding. Allowing blue names to be pk'd defeats the purpose of the blue.
    I have high levels on pvp and pve servers, this is just ridiculous and I chose pve for currents for a reason.
    How do we tell pw to get their heads out of their nether regions? Trouble tickets don't work....

    Shade Eido and Silver Frost rooms should become NON-PvP rooms, then add teleports to them at the Illusion Stone for free.

    Rocket science.

    If the developers truly plan on keeping PK open for SP then it is time to fix who can be affected by AE attacks.

    Anotherwords leave it playable yet remove their ability to just hit anyone or everyone as if they own the server.

    Those people who are not actively PVP let them be safe even in there.

    Or to best show those PVP'rs what it is like remove the PVP safe areas for the PVP players!

    Make all areas for those with PVP active an area they can be killed and drop items: IE: Make no safe haven for PVP players either. In doing so even PVP players will feel the pain ohers do.


    Eros

    PS: This will mean all PVP players even if set up as a cat shop can be killed and taken for the items they are trying to sell. Also modify the PVP rules for every person killed in PVP actively let them have added 5 minutes to the cool down timer before being able to go Non-PVP..
    I mean hey if they are truly so big bad and ugly why would they want to hide and not be able to fight 24 - 7 .. Hmmm ??? Let their egos truly fly or die.

    :P yes it somewhat defeats the purpose but its not the only place blue names are allowed to be pked

    And the reason tickets aren't working is because people are being idiots and flooding the system :P as if that helps get things done.

    Actually flooding them with tickets would likely show them how many people this is affecting and how upset they are

    Flooding aside, do you know what happens to a ticket that hits the que regarding this topic? They link them here and mark them closed. I doubt that the tier 1 help desk even marks down what is affecting players.

    Most of the campers on HT are some of the better TW factions. In other words level 100+ all with rank gear. So no that's not going to happen.

    YES ... They are the more powerful factions. I am not sure if I would define Enrage and GoldDigrz as better. I will not join any guild with the bunch of sadistic bullies that fill those guilds. I prefer to be associated with a moderate TW guild with a much better class of people. I play this game to have fun. I do not need to beat up the helpless to feel like a man or feel good about myself. There again .... I do well in real life so I do not have to prove myself in a game. Too bad these people have no lives in the real world so they have to fake tough in a game and destroy the fun for others.

    If they get carpal tunnel from closing and redirecting all the tickets here, maybe this change will hurt them a little too. b:chuckle

    Lol so like a week ago long before this thread was published i submitted a ticket complaining about being pked on my alt. low lvl sin in SP. ppl told me to submit a ticket cuz it was bannable and so i did.. the response never arrived and the day after this thread was openned they sent:

    "Action: A solution for your issue has been suggested.
    With the latest patch the developers have made some significant changes to the Secret Passage instance. As a result, PVP is no longer outlawed within the instance.

    So almighty Pressa tell us your wisdom for complaints as you seem to have ALL the ****** answers. Does driving a car while drunk because you CAN get away with it ok too? Should anyone who disagrees with this change just simply sit around and paint a smile on our faces cause there is little that might please you to do about it? Where do we find twits like this?

    Honestly I'd say let some GMs sit in SP and monitor it, but
    1. there are no gms anymore.
    2. they'd be the only ones not able to be pked because of their god weapons and armor
    3. Like they'd do anything anyways.

    I am glad you saw a GM ...... None of my 11 characters between lvl 65 and 101 have. Where do they hide? Why don't they do anything to address the raunchy world chat? Why don't they answer when people call for them in world chat?
