PVP Death Rule - Stewgar - 05-13-2021 Hope everybody is well! What are some thoughts on revamping the PVP death rule? One of the biggest issues with PVP are players going after bounties or blues only which takes away from the RP and fun aspect of playing Disco. It's one thing to play pirate for an hour or 2 and camp at a gate or buzz trade lanes, it's another to spot XYZ trading company or a certain group, pop a kill, and then log out. I have limited time in my day and I've had Freelancer days ruined because somebody wanted to 'catch a blue' and I couldn't return to the system where I wanted my business conducted. To circumvent this, what if an amendment to the cooldown rule was applied. If the player that did the killing logs out while other players are in a cooldown, then their cooldowns are lifted. Thoughts? RE: PVP Death Rule - Toaster - 05-13-2021 Problem with that would be, what if the killer only logs out for a few minutes and comes back? RE: PVP Death Rule - Mephistoles - 05-13-2021 The version of the death rules we have now is the best one this server has had to date. It used to be the case that if your killers logged off, you could return to the system, but that's messy and very much open to awkward situations. If you're killed, you're dead and it's very straightforward and logical to simply not be able to enter the system. The cooldown is only an hour, the lowest it's ever been, and it's a fair trade as is. You just have to go and find something else to do for that hour. RE: PVP Death Rule - Loken - 05-13-2021 Just go to another system.

That is a good point, especially if the player has a disconnection. Should this situation be treated differently for a disconnection vs a log off?

Looks odd when somebody that just 'died' flies by you 5 minutes later. But so is having the same pirates knowing exactly where you are at an exact time (looking at player lists). This rule amendment idea is in hopes of circumventing this. But to your other points, I agree as well. 1 hour under normal circumstances is generous. RE: PVP Death Rule - DIO - 05-13-2021 That is right. It is only an hour. And you can go to another system. Or pick another character. If you are a trader, just pay a fee and avoid being killed.... simple... Too many players already don't treat death in the game enough serious. Better RL feeling better the RP. As is, is good. my thoughts.

You won't believe it but transports can mount a CAU 8, and even weapons! Tried using some? Economy is already overflowing with Credits and earning them isn't that much of a problem anyway, be it trading or farming a PvE zone. CAU 6 is also a fine transitional decision. RE: PVP Death Rule - Lemon - 05-13-2021 Player list goes both ways. Nobody is forcing you to give action to someone who does little RP and just kills transports using player list. Just log off, dock, wait for him to leave next time - death timer is fine as is imo. RE: PVP Death Rule - Xenon - 05-13-2021 A long time ago, there was a nice addition... If the attacker disconnected, or changed characters, then the dead player can come back. It was fun and cool ![]() |
