PvP is good PvP is great but when you get pked and drop one of your most valuable items and youre whitenamed. Thats bullcrap. I got pked yesterday and dropped my +4 4 socket boots of tiger strength. Some person walked by afterwards picked them up(not even the person who pked me) and then of course refused to give them back saying thats just the way the game is. I can understand dropping stuff when youre rednamed or even purple named but dropping things while white named is complete and utter **** so as far as im concerned this games done. I was enjoying it but im not about to play a game where you can lose your items to anyone at any time that you have invested a lot of time and coin into.

Bye b:thanks
But its like at .4% chance to drop stuff when your white.
Thats why I always carry dolls or make sure my stuff is bound.
Not the games fault, its yours.
b:chuckle0 -
It is a 1% chance to drop and unfortunately you happened to be in that 1%. I have been there too...Just try not to carry the "good" items on you.
And keep in mind there is a chance to drop items when killed by mobs too...
Here are the actual numbers if you care to see:

Actually, that chart shows NA for being PKed by a player for items equipped. Unless the boots were in your inventory, then I do not see why it dropped if you were white named and PKed by a player.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

What about just locking the inventorry up while pking.This why in Guild Wars they won't allow drop from real players only mobs and there is far more pvp in that game.Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.0

It's too bad they don't allow players the option of playing on a server without PK, if they don't think they want to risk the loss.
Or at the very least, they should have some sort of item you could get that prevents you from dropping any items if you die. That would be really useful. Heck, they could even make it prevent XP loss from dying too, just as an extra bonus.
Yessiree, things sure would be better if only those things were part of the game...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Isn't it on the Game Info Begginer's guide
it says that you won't drop any of your equipped items when you're blue or white named?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
It's too bad they make such ridiculous incentives not to pk.
Should just make a zone where everyone can go to PK where these ridiculous things don't matter and then take out the ridiculous penalty if you choose not to PK on a pvp server. Be it 1%, 1% adds up.
Gives a place to go where PK is encourged because of no risk of losing items. (Ya know, encourage PvPing..would be pretty awesome)
Makes new players and lower level players who don't feel like PvPing people who 1 hit them not have to face ridiculous, even if very uncommon circumstances.0 -
What gets my goat is when people wander about with their really good gear in their inventory. There's a bank for that purpose. I'm sure you don't need to store your stack of 7 crane herbs that badly in it.
Yes, it's nice to immediately equip your shiny new gear right after you make the level, but as I see you're on LC, you should know by now that there's a 1% white droprate and becasue of that you shouldn't gamble with:
a) something valuable
b) something useful
So write this off as a real expensive learning lesson. Who knows, this could save your future HH or Cash Shop gear from being dropped.0 -

Guardian Angels are not in any way too expensive an investment to save you hours of play/coins.0 -

Ridiculous penalties? b:laugh
You can get out of them by paying 30 cents. If you want ridiculous penalties, try this on for size. This is the actual pk system in another mmo.
If you kill players you get red name of course. You do lose exp when you are pked and you can delevel in this game.
When your name is red:
You can't fly
You can't use ANY npcs
Of course the town guards will kill you.
Your pvp damage gets reduced with every pk you make
You have an incredibly high chance to drop items when you die
There is no way to stop yourself from dropping items.
Red names always spawn in the same place, which is NOT a safe zone
Players will sit in the red name spawn point, camping you until you drop every single item you own and most likely delevel a good 15+ times in the process.
How's that for ridiculous penalties? b:chuckle You have NO penalties if you pay a mere 30 cents in this game!
Funny thing is, players pk all the time in that game. They can deal with the consequences as harsh as they are. Yet you complain about this game which has little to no consequences at all? Pretty easy to tell they are better than you will ever be at pvp because they don't drop their stuff, they are good enough to just....not...die.Main characters

zzz quit the game just because you dropped a +4? gg0

The death penalty on PW isn't so bad, there are alot of games that have far worse, take another example. When you die and if you aren't ressurected within 3 minutes your characters is deleted. Well the game is divided into different modes, but it is a mmorpg. Worst one I can come up with, but there are a couple of other that have a lot worse penalties than PW. SO the death penalties are far from ridiculous.
Maybe there have been to many mmorpg lately containing no risk with death?0 -

This seems like a game I used to play. I can remember just flying for fun in that game. But there was the day I pked 15 people at one time with an aoe. Someone stronger came along and pked me. I lost a very powerful fist +8. It was a sad day for me. But that is not what made me stop playing that one. I just got bored and went to try a new game.Dumb people are blissfully unaware of how dumb they really are. - Patrick Starfish0 -
Seriously.
Why would you want to come to the forums and embarrass yourself like this?
You actually dared join a PvP server, as if you were bad enough, and then you came to the forums and cried like a baby because you lost one item as per the rules of said PvP server?
I knew this forum was full of whiners. but you my friend, just beat them all.0 -
I really don't like the PvP system of this game. the pink name thing is just silly and pkers are always with angels and charms. in another game i used to play there were 30 seconds of self defense once you're attacked with no penalty even if you kill the attacker being you white name or yellow (which means you killed 1). with orange name (2 kills) you lose self defense and with red name (3+ kills) players may get hero status for killing you.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I've dropped gear before while white named, but people give it back because I'm polite and give gear back aswell.
Also next time fill your bag with random junk or Carry dolls 24/7Making new char..Which one? I have a BM..but I want more damage and stuff to do..

Fully agree with the OP and that was a pretty major influence in deciding to play on a pve server. Dropping items when you're white is just plain bs and is one of the more suckiest aspects of this game. Big thumbs down to the dev that thought this was a good idea.0

Binding charms prevents drop of items and so do guardian angels
And to be honest i dont think you should even have to lose something that is equipped. that would devastate meFacebook.com/foxi187

why on earth should i be forced to carry guardian angles while white named? Thats just a stupid money sink in my opinion. I understand fully carrying them while rednamed or even knowing youre going into a pvp fight where you could go rednamed. But dropping equipped gear while whitenamed is just stupid.
Binding gear is even dumber. Hey lets bind all my gear so it wont drop but once i level up and need new gear I wont be able to sell my old gear to pay for it. yea thats really smart.
This game fails plain and simple I join a pvp server to pvp and have fun at it. not get pked while white named and drop my gear.0 -

While I agree with you entirely, you should already know by now about dolls, and the PvE servers. I'm quite sure you do know, in fact, so what is the problem?
It is pretty disappointing though, that there is still a chance of dropping while white. I think it should just be 0% chance. =\0 -

How often do you die? 20, 30 times a day?Vikeltrina - Lost City wrote: »why on earth should i be forced to carry guardian angles while white named? Thats just a stupid money sink in my opinion.
At 35k per Angel I can't imagine them being a serious money sink for all but the most reckless of players.
I've died 3 times so far (4 if you count the deliberate suicide for Aware of Discord), and I think my girlfriend has died maybe 6 or 7 times as a (now lvl. 59) Veno. So at 35k per angel that would be 385k spent over 5 months of play for 2 people. I earn that much in 2 days of cat-shop selling.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

ZZZ If you carry dolls while white named to stop you from losing exp is....just no one does it. Depending on your guild you may be pked a lot, hence losing dolls even if you dont fight back. So when you actually need the dolls for exp loss its gone or w/e. Its not because we are reckless its just because of whats happening. If you are in a big pk guild, expect to be crashed and pked. People who aren't might benefit from carrying dolls while white but there is always a risk it will be used. I just dont use dolls anymore, if I drop while I'm pink idc just invo items that i don't care about, if I'm red I afk in safe until my time is up. 9 more lvls till i bind everything and go pking mwahhahahahahahaha b:mischievous[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
