npcs fighting...middle ground anyone?

[Kalika]

ok...i dont want to complain about the sudden fighting spirit of the npc's its welcome after weeks of having ot so easy

but cant there be a middle ground?

for example...the server shuts my gmae down in the middle of a battle
i log bck on
while trying to remember where i am and what im doing, within secnods of having logged back in im already dead form the npc i arrived next to...
whenever i stop to chat or something, a npc crouches (mercenary for example) up next to me and kills me before i can defend myself


is this the way it always was or is this some kind of retaliation for having been so eay to kill?

sounds like you should be more careful in areas where you could be attacked. you can always outrun any npc so, stop writing run to safety and prepare for battle. but now that we're talking npcs, i do think, however, that the location of some of them could be reconsidered (having a bringand and two rogues together may be a bit too much, same as dlayo gladiator and company in the arena, not to mention Enack being so close to the other hide trader in ojaveda, now...).

ahahaha no no i agreee...the thing is the server shuts down when im in the arena...can treally help my choice of places

[zhai]

well, if the npcs kill you you'll end up in the DR, away from any danger (and yes, you'd be dead, but safe). but if your client crashes whenever in the arena, that strikes me as a bigger problem, npcs or not. not really a matter of whether they are attacking you or not. or am i not getting your point?

[Kalika]

ahaha im noyt sure either ...my thing is

before the big update the npc fought...but i remeber having a few moments to react before i was dead

now im just dead


its not that im dying that upsets me its that if i cant have a second to reac before im dead...even though i run away and stop the attack i still die...how can i fight them?

i dunnos

its more of an annoyance i guess than anything

Stop fighting in the arena and head to the sewers instead.

The arena has the harder NPCs, the sewers have the newbie NPCs. That wouldn't work.

I personally think that the rougues in akkaio should be removed, it's bad to have them in a town where newbies will be starting. imagine: you start the game and are walking around and this rougue kills you before you know whats going and or even know how to fight.

agreed, that just turns people off.

Keep the rogue far away.

At first i thought it was a real person, went to greet it, noticed my life went down, ran away lol.

Give some sort of warning or something, poor newbies are getting owned by it.
