Beware...the Crimson Assassin comes for you...

I think they should fix the exploits used in PVP before they have this open pvp system.

How are we supposed to answer this without knowing what you can be bought from those stones? If it's crap, who cares about this system. If it's good, I'll like it.

It looks like a lot of fun to me Looking forward to testing it on the PTS

(* I do think Tel Var stone gear should be tradable though unless it has bonuses that are only useful in PvP)

(** Little side note: The original Lineage II MMOG had both an XP penalty and a chance to drop your gear when you died and in that game any player could attack and kill you anywhere outside of towns if they wanted to. They would gain chaotic status if they killed you while you didn't fight back but they could kill you and you would lose both XP and had a chance to drop part of your gear.
Now I was pretty much a carebear player in Lineage II and I avoided PvP as much as I could, but I still liked that open PvP system and the risk and excitement that came with it I think hunting with friends or sneaking around on your own in the Imperial City, trying to get some Tel Var stones and trying to survive will be a lot of fun. A hardcore PvP system in a zone that also has PvE content brings people together. It brings out the worst but also the best in some players. And you will make friends and enemies. And it's a really dynamic system that never gets stale, you never know what will happen next. So I'm really looking forward to testing it )

(*** Now that I think about it, the Imperial City and the hunt for a very special kind of stone in the ruins of a medieval fantasy city really reminds me of the tabletop game Mordheim )

Nice try, but your biased words do not hide the truth from the majority, as the poll results already show.

What kind of "Risk vs. Reward" system requires PvE grinders to take all the risk while PvP gankers snatch all the rewards in an instant? That's crap. I'll be very surprised if this flawed system makes it out of the PTS on Live.

[...]

Is it or is it not possible for a PvEer to spend hours farming scamps for TV stones only to be robbed in 3 seconds by some scumbag ganker skulking around in the shadows?

So, you go into a PvP zone wanting to grind ONLY, then you cry about it being PvP... hmmm. Wait, something is wrong here.

Why don't you grind somewhere else for gold and buy gear from IC in guild stores.

But, why would you need gear, if ur only playing PvE or grinding? hmm, wait.. what? Yes, that's true. You don't even need Tel Var stones if ur not gonna compete against anything else than stupid AI. You could just craft your own gear, or maybe even play naked.

Or maybe, you should try something that actually involves pressing more than steel tornado for a change, and kill some players for tel var stones and join the fun?

We are finally getting a risk vs reward system, but some very casual PvE players want to ruin it by continously spamming every IC forum post with misinformation and negativity.

I hope there are more people like me who wants a challenge ...

So you want a "challenge" griefing other players. Let's see loobie RPer not decked out in min/max with no CPs is a "challenge"?

And no it's not just the causal PvE players finding this system disgusting. Some of us are old line DAOC/Warhammer Pvpers, who find griefers to be the bottom of the gaming barrel.

I came here because "DAOC like PvP" was promised, and this was to be Darknessfalls all over again, where we can fight for control, have few loser gankers to kill, and enjoy it, while doing some PVE for gear and stuff.

With this disgusting griefer mechanizm, and the sniggering attitude of the devs, "this isn't the devs and game I was looking for".
