Battle Mode?
 

Well, no one online seemed to know, and I searched the forums but the only information was quite old and I wasn't sure if it still applied. So here is my question,

Does Battle Mode allow you to receive more EXP when killing monsters, lords, etc.?
What exactly are the advantages of switching to Battle Mode?

In advance, thank you for your information.:D

There has been some tinkering with Battle Mode, but at this point I believe you can get more EXP.

I've been bmode since level 3. Just make sure your fast enough to hit Bomboria Trade. ;)

I think the ammount of extra exp isn't worth that much. It doesn't really make a noticeable difference. But I suppose every little helps.

Depends on how you play. When I used to play by myself and keep to myself, I did just fine surviving on bmode. Sure, every now and then there'd be a PKer, I'd get killed, and get real frusterated. But when you start meeting everyone, that's when you start getting PKed. And if you lay low and keep to yourself, you tend to not get very far anyways (in terms of power-playing, but of course I used to have plenty of fun on GK without being at a competitive level). So actually, that extra EXP does make a difference for people like that. (ignore the fact that people like me and you can start GK from scratch and do pretty well with lone-play... we've learned the game.)

So it depends on your style really. Most likely you want to be high level, have rare items, be popular in a kingdom, and therefore likely end up with enemies as well. But if you just like to RP, enjoy the different types of gameplay GK has to "offer", and "hang out" with your own private group of friends, then you'll likely be safe on bmode except for the few occassions a PKer will get to you, and likely leave you alone afterward unless you further provoke him (and it will be a him).

I went bmode when I was level 35 and I was quite well known in the community and a part from a few people I almost never got PKed. I think the main reason why is that I was in a good kingdom and I found my fellow kingdom members helped me when a PKer attacked. I guess I'm saying bmode is not bad if you know the right people who will protect you against Power-PKers because they are the only people in bmode who will attack low levels.

It also helps that most power playing pkers have left.

Yea go bmode :) ill protect you

I tested it. Killed the same lord twice in Pmode and Bmode.
First kill yielded 7.5k, and in Bmode 10k. So if Bmode increases percentage-wise, that means 30% gains.

If that is true sounds worth it to me. Just don't keep anything too valuable on you, or always have enough plat to cover death.


That's how I started to play GK also.

Bmode is worth it.
Keep at least 500 plat on you and you'll be fine.

Tig confirmed that you do get an increase in experience.

Wow, people still play this server? I have rarely seen the player count pass 15 for the past year now.

Then you're blind. Kingdoms has been in the 30s and higher this year. It is kind of cute that you walk in on this thread like you actually have some idea what Kingdoms is though.

OH MAN 30s?! NICE DUDE. So that's like what, roughly 7 people per kingdom? That's like a normal player count for events on most classic servers. I think I'll save my money and stick with those.

Three servers have a higher player count. One has the lowest player number in it's history. One is pretty decent. The other I will never bother trying to get into.

30~ intelligent people you can have a conversation with and not use the words "LOLNOB" "OWNT" and "OMG*******"

90~ people who can't spell grammar, let alone use it.

Enjoy your bottom of the barrel community.

Great, trying to turn another valid thread into a server-bashing thread?

We didn't start it, but I have to defend my baby.

Is it our fault if your stuck on Era been like owning noobs and always insulting other, being rich and then idling most of time ?

:oo:

Yea cause spelling and grammar really matter in a video game. If you take games that seriously to the point where you're correcting people on their grammar and spelling IN-GAME then you sir need to log off the internet.

And honestly, I don't really care if 90 percent of the playercount have the IQ of a broomstick. I rather have more players to play with on a game than have 15 grammar police yelling back and forward about role playing.

If you've actually played any other game besides Graal you'd know that you're ALWAYS going to see that on an online game. Ever play Xbox Live? It's present in every game. Get over it.

I'm not even one of those types. I just play the game simply for the entertainment. But sure, go ahead and judge the book from where it came cause that will sure get you far. That's like me saying everyone from GK is a role playing loser who sits in their basement and writes 10 paged bios for their characters.

Just ignore Yocas, he is just an ignorant douche looking for attention.

Because resorting to name calling makes you better than him.

It's a shame that instead of being able to defend your lowpop server you resort to name calling. I guess my points are too much for you to handle. Har har.

Don't trash servers guys.
GK's fine and Era's fine.

Hehe. He totally tried to improve his grammar.




QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

Pssh, don't look at me, I didn't start this. All I did was say how amazed I was at how people still play the server because of how low the playercount way.

Did I ever once say "LAWL GK SUCKS D00D"?

No. GK was fun for the first couple of months when I got it. But that was way back when the server had 60 - 100 players; which was very long ago.

The fact that no one can fight against my argument and instead tries to attack me personally really disproves what kia says about GK's community being "intelligent".

yo dawg i dun need 2 argu with u

u juz proved that u iz lookin 4 an argumant

get off da gk forumz if u dont liek it

Way to prove my point kid.

I'm guessing you either read the sentence too fast or can't comprehend anything above a 3rd grade level.

When I said "my argument" I meant "my point. But oh well. Since no one can even make the slightest budge to go against my points, I'll go ahead and call this win. Good luck with your party of 20.

I'm sorry, I enjoy being able to know what people are saying on a community based game.

That's your personal opinion. I for one wouldn't touch a game were the entire player base collectively knows about 117 words.


I don't have my headset on when I'm playing online on XBox, unless its actual team based gameplay, were people use decent grammar and don't sound like complete idiots.

That's exactly what you did when you jumped in on this thread dip****. Your defense sucks.

No, it's more like what you already did in your first post, just make up some random thing to seem like you know what you're talking about.

That's because you have no argument. I called you wrong and insulted your 'people', and you just said NO U

Yea cause 20 players is considered a community.


Way to be anal over a video game. :whatever:

Wow. Is grammar really that important in a video game? You seriously need to get out more if can't tolerate the younger crowd. No one cares for how well you speak on a video game.

Huh? How is being surprised at the fact people still play this game being prejudice? If it's because I was 10 players off the maximum count GK has ever been then please shut the **** up.


Um, no dude. Every time I logged on Graal and looked at the serverlist, GK was at roughly 13 ~ 20 players. Try paying attention to the playerlist sometime.


Excuse me? But what people are you talking about? If you're talking about Era then, uh, no? I was basically pointing out the fact that GK is no better than any server that's on classic. I'll let the player count be the proof of that.

Anyways I'm pretty much done here. It was never my intention to turn this into a "fite 4 gee kay" thread. But there are always those people who take the game way too seriously and overreact whenever someone gives a small comment about it.

It's a computer game, not a video game. :noob:

Are you being serious? Are you really going to correct him over something like that?

read as: "Wow, I sure don't have a response to that!"


read as: "Damn, I ran out of stuff to say, time to resort to petty insults to make it seem like I wasn't getting anal either"


I care, shut up.



Because you're an idiot. If you weren't an idiot, then you wouldn't have assumed GK only had 10 players, because anyone who's not an idiot is fully capable of looking at the playerlist or serverlist and noticing GK's primetime playerbase, or noticing how active GK's forums are.


Um, no dude. Shut up.

Cool



Because amount of players makes a good server? No, shut up, go away.

read as: "If I bail out now it'll look like I didn't lose as hard"

Here, have a month of GK, now go away.

Yes. Yes I am.

lmao

Is that your best comeback?
Cause you know you just got owned cause there's more the 20 players who play and are not noobs like you.

HI I JUST SHOWED YOU A GRAPH THAT PROVED YOU WRONG AND YOU'RE TOO IMMATURE TO ACKNOWLEDGE capslock THAT YOU'VE BEEN WRONG

Just looking at the chart and viewing the average playercount is enough said. So again I say LMAO. It's cute to see even though I tried ending it there are still people trying to defend Fail Kingdoms. Seriously guys, just end it; you're not making your server look any better by trying to continue the argument.

And your not making Era looking any better either.
