Don't worry I'm working on that

i can see it now, massive groups of players congregating in towns and farming guards

Is there any reason to believe anyone will be here to find out?

Alex, I will take failed MMOs this decade for 100 please.

It's gonna be awesome!


Edit: I thought this was public. I voted train wreck.

Not only NPC should become hostile. Thieves should be PVP-flagged with a bounty on them. Makes it more fun...

It will all depend on the implementation, from what little I have read about the idea, I am ambivalent at best...

If it turns the PVE areas into PVP zones, if it allows those of us that dislike PvP to be harassed by folks who like to wave their epeen around... then it will be the wreck of a train that I will have already gotten off

Poll: Does this forum need more polls with biased, leading questions?

What purpose does this particular poll have, other than to stroke the ego of the OP?

Massive. Train. Wreck. Predicted.

I'm going to try to make time to get on the pts when that feature goes live.

Depends. Big risk for a big reward or small risk for small reward

Loot desks etc probably will get you in trouble but depends of what they will drop and at what %
Also killing non important Npcs depending on what they drop

depends.

from the wiki info, it looks like anyone (with the right skillset, perhaps) can pick the pocket of anyone else.

this is bad, if it does it in the wrong way.

setup 1)
Pur's-when-picks-pockets, a well known footpad and purse lifter sneaks into town and stands in the bank. Pur's lifts many purses and sneaks out, unseen by the guards. he finds he has made a fair amount of gold.
*the server reports that 15 different accounts had simulated pockets picked that day by character known as 'Pur's-when-picks-Pockets'. the server adds 130 pieces of gold and 12 lockpicks to his account. 15 accounts find a peice of paper saying 'you were robbed, but dont worry, it was virtual' appear in their pockets. no cash was actualy taken from their accounts*

setup 2)
xjuxuxus is a bot. it stand about in the bank, hidden and lifts gold from those who bank there. it then deposits the cash into the bank and every now and again, a boss bott arrives to check and receve the cash.
*the server reports that large amounts of gold were removed every few hours from bank users in all cites and towns. player char xjuxuxus is listed as having removed at least 200 gold per character. each 200 gold has been physicaly removed from the pockets of players, and each player receves a message via a peace of paper saying 'you were pick pocketed today. we removed 200gold from your inventory. have a nice day : the ESO game. disclaimer: you will never get that moeny back. it has been give to the player that picked your pocket. do not submit tickets in the form of 'i was robbed' as the justice and pickpocketing system is WAI and we will never give refunds for picked pockets. if you want to get your money back, pick someone elses pockets.'

see the difference? in setup 1, the player who enjoys picking pockets is rewarded, but the vicitm is not out of gold. while in setup 2, the bot can pick your pocket, and you are a victim because the game takes your money and gives it to the pickpocket.

when someone else steals from you, you are a victim. when the game gives the thief some reward, but does not take that reward from your character, its a game.

if, on the other hand, those who have their pockets picked are the NPCs, then it wouldnt be so bad.
the wiki is from Skyrim though, so dont forget that 'chickens see ALLLLLL......' they are the eyes and ears of the guards....(and that probably inclueds Bantam-guars too)

if you kill an NPC (and i hope for everyone's sake, this is only for the PvP maps, or else this will be carnage....blood will run in the streets! lol) and a guard sees you, you just commited an offence. i hope its confined to the NPCs ect becasue otherwise, there will be a murder-death-kill spree of biblical levels when the veterans realise that, as non faction members in other faction teretory, all they need to do is toggle the justice flag and then procede to murderize the non vets.

actualy, thats fun to do, in a roleplay way.
but you have to make sure the aresstee is agreeable.
(dont just walk up and pretend to arrest someone. ask first if its okay. if they wont play along, find someone willing)

can i cheer when you arrest someone? can we get a CheeseSquad (sheogoraths private army of golden saint mercs who arrest anyone for cruelty to cheese)

I hope its done something like Eve's security system where by you can become an outlaw(Pirate in eve) or you can keep above the law zones could then be split into different security levels but maybe that will be too much of an overhaul i guess maybe NCP's should attack outlaws too a bit like Concorde\gate guns do depending on the area's security level

I'm looking forward to it. I talked with a merchant I hadn't seen before and had [Intimidate: Give me all your gold.] I like the idea of target NPCs becoming available, not all around random killing NPCs in the streets. FYI, I didn't go for his gold. I'll be joining the guard.
