Tribal safezones are enough. Once they implement the alignment system reds will have a harder time by being raided and slaughtered. Once they make a spawn location such as the one in my Dream catcher thread we will get less griefing and more meaningful fights. Make starter tools only player tradeable and degrade. Player can police the evil clans and enforce law throughout the land. Not some predetermined safe area for people to never leave and craft in all day.
Honestly this more than anything.
And as a side note the PvP and feelign of danger it provides in darkfall rules It's downside is lack of sand in the sandbox.
Also as a side note it has tons of safezones, so really citing it constantly just shows that some people will complain until PvP is turned off completely.
It's okay if some peopel want to play single player games. It's also okay that some people want to play FPSes. It would be nice if both groups would stop trying ot make every game they play into their preferred type.
It has "tons of safezones"? You do realise those zones don't work if your guild is at war with their's, right? And lots of players run around in a single man guild declaring war on everyone else?
Most people want to play a co-operative game with some competitive elements. Not Darkfail v2.0.
The only problem with DF's pvp was the skill gap between existing vets and new players and the horrid War Dec / Alliance system , Xsyon shouldn't have that problem which makes this thread a mote issue in regards to DF - Xsyon comparisons. FFA PvP will be fine in Xsyon with the systems planned. I'm a hardcore pvper but I have yet to go looking for PvP , the world building and exploring has sucked all my time up and I am confident the launch will be the same. There is far more to do here in order to protect ones investment than in DF, and far less of a system to grief.
Unforutantly some of them have already made it over here, but maybe they won't stay, since the rules for being a douche might make them find a new game, but being a douche bag seems to be an easy job and persistance seems to be one of the qualities, to bad being humble isn't one of them.
But yes this game doesn't need to be pvp all the time to be fun.
I think a lot of ppl misconstrue when ppl talk about pvp, most of the ppl I know myself included love pvp, myself like most that I've talked too don't like douche bags, 12 yr old epeen, leet speaking little turd baskets. Just fight win/loot/save your teabagging animation for your boyfriend at home.
Threads like this blow my mind.... When i first logged into Xsyon i had the same experience as many of the people who come to the forums and cry. I logged in was trying to get my bearings and was ganked, but you know what i got over it moved, left the spawn area gathered my pride and started playing the game.
I have only been in a handfull of fights since then it honestly seems to me the people who complain most about pvp are the people who are too stupid to learn how to avoid it when they dont want it.
I see alot of people complaining about naked griefers who run around and want no risk and all reward, but if you make this game too carebear then thats all anyone gets is no risk, all reward and one dull game.
So bottom line is get over it, get even, or go away with all this melodramatic BS and overly sensitive attitudes.
Your mind is easily blown then, or just weak. I have a new names for the pro-gank/grief crowd, who come in and whine all the time, but I have not been able to decide on one. Perhaps I should run a poll. Here are the 2 choices for your selection: Should gankers/griefers, be callled A. Drama Queens, or B. My Little Ponies?
