When Should Safe Zones Be Turned Off?

[Dontaze_Mebro]

Yes dumb kids. Safe zones should never get removed so we can get rid of griefers who will emoragequit once this is published.

Starting zones should always remain safe zones so new players can get used to game mechanics and build their skills up before embarking on trip outside of safe zones. Starting zones should not contain too many things so that reward of moving out is big, but so does the risk increase. Imagine a starting zone like a boot camp where soldiers are trained in basic combat before facing real enemies.

I have a feeling that too many people would like to gank new starters and are moaning against safe zones for that very reason. Under pretense of pvp they want to grief newbies. No game should allow griefing of newbies by wannabe pvpers. In fact every game should try very hard to make griefers leave as soon as possible as they are not adding anything of value to any sandbox, people like that only bring in their frustration over their job, lack of girfriend or boyfriend, hatred towards their life or their mirror image and then try to make up by killing newbies that don't know how to fight back. That is not pvp and any cry by that group should be completely ignored by and development company who considers itself professional. A sandbox needs roleplayers and not some sad individual who just wants to ruin gaming experience for everyone else. Guys who run around destroying resources, stumps and changing terrain in order to ruin the landscape for others are that group in Xsyon. If devs allow that group (which is a minority but extremly vocal to make up for their lack of numbers) to start impacting the game Xsyon is toast in less then 3 months.

People like that are easy to spot on forums. If a thread is very long like this one it is usually those who post multiple times per page and most of their posts are pointless flaming one liners. Their goal is not to bring reasonable arguments to discussion but to stir up community, same as in game, in order to grief people even outside of the game.

I think people who generalize and assume so much about people should leave.

I agree though that people who want PvP aren't too concerned about small safe zones - the whole rest of the map is open for combat. Its simply the griefers who want to kill afk people and crafters that cry for no safe zones now.

So true...

Lol Lol. Let me tell you people something to those who love to craft. If there is no combat, why are u making weapons you fools/... lol If you dont want Pkers to be in this game, why you trying to figure it out what armor is better... Lol If the Pkers would leave the game, what will you do with all your useless armor and weapons. U wont use them. Haha WAKEUP!!!!

Hmm who said we don't want PvPers ? And you can use your armors and weapons in PvE so thats not a good argument But again, no one ever wanted a PvE only server, so relax

Having tribal lands as a safe zone doesn't stop pvp happenning EVERYWHERE else.

You are like one of those people that write in to complain about a TV program when there are 239 other stations and an off switch!

Whats wrong with you people. Why are you so scared of Pvpers... Lol pull out your plastic bat and hit them on the head. They will think twice if they wanna mess with Jadzia...

No Safe Zones?

FIne by me, if we cna have perma death.

That way, you better make sure you're gonna kill me and everyone in my tribe if you step on my land.

If there arent gonna be some SERIOUS consquences for PvP let me have my safe zone so I can kill every griefer and naked dancing moron that comes bother me when Im playing with the people I want to play.

If its just a 5 minute debuff or some other stupid shit like seen in most games let me have a piece of land where I can pass Anti-moron/Anti-griefing justice without having to call a GM for harassment.

You don't get me I'm not scared of PvP, I'm bored of it.... I don't want PvP because I find it very boring. Gosh I don't even like PvE...combat is dull for me. So I want safe zone to be able to do what I do like without being disturbed. I won't hit them with a plastic bat because its not what I'd like to do...get it now ? If I wanted to force you to sit at the campfire for an hour every day and sing songs, you would protest too Thats my point...don't force players into something they don't enjoy.

If PvP was scary I would probably enjoy it. But I just can't get scared of pixels, lol....

Redrazor did you read the post i made about the evil player who gets on your tribe zone, and you have a 3 minutes limit to kill him, or he/she will have an opportunity to attack you? If some player comes on your tribe zone, and you trust that player, then there is no worries. But if you dont trust that player, kill him. Whats wrong with that?

@Jadzia - SO let me guess. You never play games that require you to aim and shoot.??? You dont see that challenging???

don't force players into something they don't enjoy.
