Title: Character Score Points
Post by deadbee on 04/11/03 at 08:55:05
I would just like to put a suggestion foward about the character scorepoints as i feel that it is very unfair that you lose points when you are pkd by someone but not gain any points when you pk someone. I would also
like to add that maybe you should get more points when you join a clan or be promoted in a clan there are lots of aspects about the points that i feel are missed e.g gaining points when you kill a certain amount of monsters or certain types of monsters, when your clan goes up in the rankings you should also gain points (this would also encourage people to join clans and spark more action among the lower ranking clans) and maybe lose points if your clan goes down or you get kicked from a clan.
It is unfair that a really good crit could b low ranked just beacuse of a few PK's when they were lvl 9

If you got some sort of tangible benefit from killing someone, people would just go around killing their alts...  or if something was put in that would make killing your own alt impossible, friends would just kill each other's low lvl alts.  That idea seems very prone to abuse, should it be put in (which seems fairly unlikely).

isn't this happening allready (a few clans ago) i was in a clan where osmeone would jsut go to the no exp loss arena and kill his alt just to get pk's

Well i still feel sumthin should b done as i spoke to players that agreed that its very unfair that just because they got pkd a few times when they were low level they find it very hard to get a good ranking.

Maybe you could have a system where you only gain points for pks when you kill someone who is higher ranking than you? that sounds pretty fair to me

don't get pk'd - it's one of the most challenging goals in the game...

I believe killing your own alt is illegal based on an old regulation.  I'd like to see it enforced more often.

Id say make pks balance deaths out but no more, so if you have 40 pks and 100 deaths you only lose 60 points, but with 100 pks and 40 deaths, you dont gain or lose any points

i don't think that any points should be given to the character score for pks becasue not only can people cheat to then get there score up it gives anti-pkers a disadvantage at their rankings and would have to either start doing something they don't believe in or have thier rankings go down which would make the game less enjoyable for certain people.

I believe that those anti-pkers will become pkers soon enough in the near or distant future.. but, it's not just pk'ing that helps your score.. everything else helps it too.

maybe pks should have nothing to do with your score, so if you got pked it wouldnt matter because it wouldnt take away from your ranking. And the abuse thing is not bothered with anymore

I don't know if I can be considered an anti-pker, but I only pk if I am either attacked first, or to revenge and protect a clannie who is getting pk'd. If neither one happens, I usually don't pk, and I am not planning on changing that anytime soon, since I get no fun out of pking, and after all, fun is what I play NM for.

Now now, who would be killing your clannies that need protecting? * whistles innocently
