Forced Battle Mode?

[NicoX]

People will always cry about getting lamed and such. Better make it possible to gain EXP from PKing. People will go bmode on their own and enjoy PKing again. No forcing needed.

New players will quit... when you die it warps you to that save point you were last at. 9/10 it's the dock at the trade house in Bomboria. The stronger players can stand there and just lame over and over and over. It will piss them off because they are being harassed. Nobody is going to stick around when they are getting lamed over and over.

Forced bmode does make players interact with one another you are right... Forcing bmode will not make the community strive and become healthier.. if anything it will make it worse. Once again due to all of the stated reasons above.

Adding a min level and forcing bmode wont do this justice either. Level 54 Physique is a very low level for forcing bmode as well. The whole forcing anything is simply going to cause problems. We want to attract players to the server not force them to leave because of something like this.

Then make it your mission to fight for the new guys. I'll be doing that - more rewarding and more fun. Be the batman gk needs

You simply can't know if it would make the community better or worse until you try it out. Also I'm talking 54 base level as a minimum. That's just to prevent actual bile laming with death runes and such. If you feel 54 is too low then maybe make it 80? You have a base health pool of 280 at that level. If you had the time and gear to grind to level 80 you have the gear to fight off the big bad wolf when he comes for you.

Making everyone Bmode would be fun, perhaps add some factor such as lower leveled players immune unless they engage in some kind of battle

[smokeraider]

i say let people become bmode the old way, hitting bells so when they wanna pk or someone needs to be bmode quicker for joining battle.

people always run to houses to hide, and if they hi the bell to be pmode ti hide, it would be the same.

i agree with after lvl 80 you get forced bmode and also i think it would be rly nice to add some kind of reward for killing people instead of 400plat and a kill in profile, maby a pk coin sistem in which u trade these in a house for cool rewards, that would get people into pking and not just geting richer gambling and siting in trade

Nice idea, but it would take alot of time to accept this idea and then pull it into the game. You probally know how it works.

I'm interested in this if it is done right, maybe tack on a change to the different classes too? Boosted exp for the skill of your class type thing to encourage you to train more, get higher levels, and find yourself able to fight back eventually.

[NightmareNight]

I'm all for it, but I agree that plat/item drop should be removed and replaced with just a finger.

Like my post before mentioned, the best way is to give people a exp reward for killing a player, so for example if you kill someone with magic you get magic exp, and so on. Forcing people will never help. But with this reward we could make PK worth the time and again more Fun.

Exp would be too easily abused I think

Well not everybody has a gold account, and if someone is abusing it we can track it back easily. The EXP wont be that high though. Could be a nice addition

I'm pretty opposed to having obvious and easily abused mechanics (and punishing players for abusing it). I'd rather see some sort of PK level or PK trophies that you can use to purchase cool looking clothes (YES PLZ) or auras. Rewarding players with visuals rather than power ya dig?

This would be a neat way to introduce new clothes and stuff.

felix's idea + my idea

[Cubical]

I dont know why you guys are so worried about it? As I posted in my post above none of you leave trade so no matter what happens it will still be like a perm pmode. I think BMode past a certain level should be forced and since none of you actually leave trade I kinda feel like none of your opinons really matter.
