How to stop Fungi Twink PKs
 

Here are some thoughts I had...most of them involve programming changes - I would love to hear more ideas on how players themselves could address the issue.

1) Add minimum level requirement to some items (like Fungus Tunic) - this would immediately take away twink's main advantage.

2) Remove PVE XP loss. I think with the red server XP bonus it doesn't matter much anyway, so it wouldn't trivialize the game. This would prevent potential twinks from de-leveling, although it wouldn't stop the existing ones.

3) Remove +4/-4 rule for non-damaging spells (Root/Mez/Blind). This would allow a friendly high level to frustrate a twink and cause him to give up.
Downside - this could be abused too, since some bored high level could sit around and cast it on innocent lowbies.

4) Add racial faction hits for PVP kills. This can slow down some twinks who rely on the local friendly guards to have their back.

5) Have all skills reset to level cap when someone de-levels (not sure, maybe this already happens).

6) Remove server-wide yellow text PVP announcements. This one is debatable - on one hand it will remove YT incentive for twinks, on the other YT gives due credit for proper PVP wins... it also lets potential victims know which areas to avoid.

7) Player Anti-PKs who could provide protection as a service - either out of goodness of their heart, or for a fee.

Let me know what you think!

All of these ideas suck and you are an idiot. Hope this feedback is helpful.

how about you just level past them? you can make 50 in 2-3 weeks on this server even as a casual player.

or how about you avoid the zones that people park PK's in? plenty of other leveling options.

there's no need for all this ballyhoo for a few griefer twinks.

Add item loot

Give us a few weeks to make kill squads =D

Great post. I agree strongly with your post about xp-loss. Xp bonus is ridiculously high, 1-59 is a joke and players don't learn anything before they are in range to BiS players who have been here for years. Death penaltys from both PvE and PvP are a joke, removing the final "penalties" would make it less of a joke and a real thing. +1 for no more fungi twinks.

add item loot and watch playerbase plummet back to double digits.

u know this Nirgon

Yes please!

oh hell no, that crap was dumb enough on live.

Everyone on this forum is now dumber after reading this post

Please think before posting such things on red server, and may god have mercy on your soul.

Add item loot up to lvl 30 maybe? Haven't seen a twinked pker past that lvl yet. Probably a bad idea though.
