PvP/PK system

[Dondiwa]

It's not from 1.5. It's not even close to how it was in c1-c4. It turns openworld pvp-pk based game into another pve game which already overflooded mmorpg market. Imho pk system from classic 1.5 was almost perfect. It had some problems like the fact that you were able to use pk scrolls without decreasing your karma to 0. The other problem was small cooldown on scroll reusage. But even so it was much better than it is now - for example nothing happens if you won't accept pvp for spot(earlier you just get pked) because pk is inadequately expensive in terms of time and adenanowdays.  It's not even close to pvp-pk atmosphere of original l2.

... and?

if u want pk someone, do it, but is not a good thing, u need better weapon, party, quick skills, and win the loot / xp nobody cares about pk when other things like bots, adena scaling, spoil... is the real problem. lol

open world PK is one of the reasons L2 is the game it is today. The threat of losing hard earned exp in the late game, the ability to take over a spot by killing the people has always been the thrill. Just because other problems exist doesn't mean they should disregard this.

I doubt they will change it as I assume they would have to make some changes to the core of the game. Since we have a downgraded version of Live, it is doubtful that this code will be reworked.

Just have a clannie kill you if you are red. The karma goes away after one death.
