There are some protections that don't allow this and most problems like this. I won't elaborate.

The quests on Era gave some even ground (NPCs), it's not the same thing as this.

On UN and Zodiac your hp/power doesn't rely on killing other players, but NPCs.

That is a fair point but tbh it depends on how effective the other systems are.
If the gang system works properly then ideally most people who get close to the 140 hp cap will be taken into gangs and spend most of their time fighting other gangs whose members will also be closer to the 140 hp cap.
Leaving players with lower hp to fight other lower hp players instead of getting stomped by the older players, who arguably would stomp them anyway regardless of hp.

In the end it's still only two hits, and soon you'll be able to buy a gralat potion to circumvent that anyway.

And that difference is only 2 hits with the strongest gun, 3 hits with the weakest.
A far cry different from UN where it takes a noob 26 hits to kill somebody who has max health, but only 2 hits for them to kill a noob.
Or Zodiac where it is impossible for a noob to kill anybody even 10 levels above them, and players that are even level 30 can get 1 hit killed.

On classic servers like UN, the person getting a lot of kills will most likely have low AP, making them easier to kill.

HE DOES! and so do I. But that's beside the point, I guess I like this idea? I dunno. It's a huge change from it being REALLY easy to have 140hp to where it will now take months to get there for most players.

Epic idea.

This is retarded. If you're gonna make health this way then all guns need to be lowered in damage.

I can die in 4 hits from a god damn desert eagle, Bombs from pyrotech now basically take out 80% of my health if I get lamed.

Everything needs to be lowered in damage if you're gonna do something like this. Like 20 damage guns to 15, and 15 damage guns to 10, and 25 damage guns to 20.

Bombs also need to be nerfed. It'll take me 20,000 kills to get full HP again where all damage used to be based off of. That's alittle bit less than double my kills @_@

Not the damage, just the speed of each gun...Guns need to be modified and made slower if Era's planning on sticking with this new hp feature. Dodging bullets will be a must in PKing if you're dead in about 4-5 shots.

slower ? Any slower and you'll be able to outrun them...

edit: if you're talking about the fire-rate (not the bullet speed), then yeah, I agree.
