pk, items dropped.

Poster above is an idiot, its not banable, nor a glitch, and yes you cannot drop items while red when safety is on. Ive had 200 hours of red, been killed numerous times with safety lock on, and have not dropped once.

It amazes me how some people can not have an adult conversation without stooping to the level of what children do. Name calling is not necessary to get your point across. FYI to both of you I said I "think" meaning I don't know for sure but this is MY take on the whole thing.

No need for the flaming/trolling. It is unnecessary and a waste of good forum space.

Here's how it works:

If safety lock is on then you should NOT be able to lose ANY item, no matter what.

But it WILL shatter, so that there's some penalty.

I was wondering if not using capitalization and proper grammar was you trying to make a point b:chuckle

I would advise you Saitada just to stop. You reported him/her, no more need to keep it up cause instead of him/her you could end up in trouble.

I'm sure spoons will see it once he comes on and will most likely do something about it

personally I'd just send some post links to spoons in a pm and let him sort it from there

the please let it rest. any more of those actions will just prove your case more, there's no need to drag it out on the forums

thank you. I thought it up the moment I heard "psychic" lol mess with someone head would be awesome, too bad we didn't get a skill like that b:angry regardless it's still awesome

I don't believe this is true, and if it is; very likely could be bannable as they are using a glitch to enhance their enjoyment of the game. Safety lock is intended to keep your stuff protected etc.. not as a means to keep you from dropping stuff in pk mode. If it was that easy, why be in Pk mode to begin with. Thats like having duels.

Pve FTW lol

First time I've ever had to quote myself to prove a point.

Does it say there, that I know for sure this is true and it is BANNABLE!?

the words "and if it is" and "very likely" means I have doubt in the fact that it is and that it isn't. I am not sure.. but just guessing.

For real, why do some people have to pick apart everything someone says. By the way I have never used safety lock, being a PVE "carebear" as you put it, I don't have a need myself.

But my question still remains, why would you use safety lock in pk mode or on a pvp server. Might as well roll Pve cause that is not PvP.

If you click on your little padlock button in game, you would realise what it did.

Yes, safety lock stops you from dropping items completely. This means you cannot drop them in PK mode no matter how red your name is, and it also means you cannot drop items willingly either. So no FBs, RBs or TTs for you if you set up your safety lock so you can PK.

To the person who thinks using safety lock as a means to not drop in PK being bannable: you are mistaken. The offence isn't one that you can be banned for at all - why do you think one of our GMs has his signiture reminding you about safety lock accidents?

-edit-

I use safety lock because not everybody in PK mode will give you back what you drop, just to answer your question. I don't feel like taking the risk of dropping my gold FC Broadland bow that is refined to +5 and has a garnet gem in it, I don't feel like dropping my Brilliant Plumes, I don't feel like dropping my other expensive equipment.
As much of a game as it is, I invested a lot of money into these items and I do not wish to lose them - potentially permanently. Perhaps YOU think the point of PK is the whole "taking the risk" business, but I only PK to have fun, not drop all of my gear and then find myself unable to get it back and unable to play the game because I'm suddenly naked of gear.

I would understand if you are white and are only attacking flagged people (people who are pink or red) but if you are just going around trying to get your red hours up, then you should use dolls or bind your gear. When you are attacking flagged people, yeah that's having fun with pvp, and then you wont drop equipped items they you might not wont to lose. I've had a fun pk period on this game by only attacking flagged people. And if I accidentally turned red, then I would sit in safe for 2 hours until it wore off, and I would clean around the house or something. I don't think the point of pk is to taking the risk, its about being smart when you become red. If you have things in your inventory that you dont want to drop, ask a friend to hold them or put them in your bank or mail them to an alt or something.

Maybe I can see the use of using safety lock when you're impatient and want to do things out of safe zone or you don't have enough time to play, but if you didn't have time to play the game, you wouldn't have invested into the game. And if you're impatient, like if your guild has a big pk war and you accidentally turn red and want to wait, it's not like thats the last pk war thats happening on your server ever. People just need to be way slower paced on this game and not act like everything is the last thing that's going to happen on this game. There will always be another pk war/BH run/hh run/Frost run, w/e.

Last thing, with safety lock, the devs or somebody, might as well take dolls and binding stones out of the cash shop, because you can get it for free with this feature. Well, maybe not dolls since people do use them to not lose exp but yeah..

If people start flaming in here we will be forced to take disciplinary action. If you can't say something nice.....

So basically... the tl;dr version of that is if you PK to kill pink or red names, you can use SL, otherwise you should have to pay?

Poor argument. Really, that's completely based on your opinion of fun. You think that attacking flagged people is fun PK.
I don't care if I have a red name or not, I just PK for fun. I will kill somebody if I can, I'll 1v1 people regardless of it I'll win or not, and I will happily poke the 10x levels if I feel like it and then get brutalised for doing so. That's my idea of fun - I don't care if I happen to be red named or white while I do that or not. So, because my idea of fun is different to yours, I should have to go and pay so I don't drop while you don't? Chyeah, I think not.

Again, poor argument. You seem to insinuate everybody else who PKs does it purely for the red name unless they are white names attacking flagged players, and then you say that these people should have to pay. Why should we have to pay just because our idea of fun differs from yours?
Yeah, I'll carry on using the SL when I PK - regardless of why I'm actually PKing.

I said attacking flagged people is usually fun. They are the ones who usually attack back, and then you have a nice 1 vs 1. Should have said Pvp instead of pk. I don't think anyone who just kills every white name they see just for red hours. My whole rant thing was in fact that I don't see the point of SL regardless of what type of pvp/pking you do. If you want to kill every white name and stay red for 100 hours 24/7, use dolls or bind. If you want to attack flagged people and start a small pvp battle, I dont see a point in using anything. Only way I can see using SL is for is you let someone on your account and dont want them to steal anything...and account sharing is bannable so.... Im not saying people should pay or not pay. Just my personal opinion about SL, if you do it, fine, if you don't use it thats fine too, I (key word I) dont see a point in using SL and I was just giving other ways you can pk/pvp without using SL.
