pk question

[fe-crazywolf]

another thing to watch out for in duel games or trade games is the townkill act 1 merc bug where arrows will come flying in usually from a high dmg bow like windforce with the merc usually enhanced damage armor and the player usually being a hammerdin with conc that will boost the arrows damage even more, one of these arrows that flies into town if someone is standing near the edge of bloodmoor will inevitably land a killing hit to a char with 1000 life or less. This townkill bug is often used in conjunction with distractions such as a feigned duel in which someone will summon their pet and unsummon quickly to allow their friend's arrows to come for the killing swoop as well as people trying to get you to open trade window as a distraction so you won't be paying attention to the act 1 merc.

Matt, excellent response to the thread starter. I would also add, phear the lvl 9 pker. I cant count how many times I have hostiled with my lvl 9 sin, only to be laughed at. Thing is, with 325+ life, charge up, charge up, charge up, strike - I'm dealing up to 900 damage. Suddenly I'm the one laughing.

Another bug Ive seen but fortunately works badly with tppk is tornado, with a 2k damage tornado spammed many times it will eventually kill someone with low life. I'm just wondering how many of these spells blizzard forgot to fix when they made the patch since its getting really cheesy and annoying and i've not even died once from it but I feel bad for the people I've seen die from the bs tp cheesiness

hehe yeah. I meant to say that when I'm hostiled in the sewers I prefer to TP to see if the hostiler actually enters the sewers and starts fighting. I hate it when someone hostiles and then leaves.

On a sidenote, you're into pk. Im not a big fan of pking, but as long as i don't have to leave the game immediately it's fine with me. Your remark makes it sound like everybody should better leave the game as soon as the hostile sound goes. That's exactly why a lot of people hate the hostile option. I really hate pressing alt-f4 but I'm really sure I die to any pk because I have l33t gambled rare stuff gambled by myself :hanky:

I'm gentle. I announce that I'll come and then attack. I don't skip the WP timer either. If you face me (if ever.... I hardly play ) you have a good chance to tp out.

That's cool. I think Blizz should make it so that you are forced to wait after hostiling. Just 3 seconds or something in which you can't leave town.

Hasn't blizzard done enough to protect

the weak and slow from pkers? I'll give you that the tp thing is lame but apart from fixing that I think it was hard enough to pk even in pre-LoD. Now unless they DECIDE to fight you, there is no fight.

a 3 second timer... bleh. just means you have to be careful going in or out of town. nothing too hard about that. The whole thing about having to declare hostility for your arrows or sword or spells or whatever to hit other players is very contrived.

I can understand why in this game its important. Just think people should realize they have already a huge tactical advantage to use against people who want to seperate them from their ear.
