Full Looting/Sacrificing

[divsky]

I'm still not playing right now. But I do have an idea for one thing I hate more than anything else on AR: full looting/sacing. Everytime I get toasted by some lvl 38 niching peice of shit, or a lvl 20 fire warrior noob, who then full loots/sacs me, I get super pissed off, mostly because I have to drop everything and re-equip again now. Does a lvl 20 fire giant really need to be able to full-sacrifice someone?

So, instead of dealing with shit like that, set a limit on how much a character can loot. Like, 1 item at lvl 15, then one more for every 5 levels after that. Gold looting would not be included. This means at lvl 35, you could loot all the gold, 4 rares and their entire sack full of purples and shit (5 items total, that sack would count as one). That's still some pretty significant lootage, but prevents the killer from just being a total dickcheese and taking and sacrificing everything. At lvl 15-25 looting would be pretty restrictive at just 1-3 items plus their gold, but why should we be encouraging heavy PKing at those lvls?

Of course, at lvl 50, 100% full looting would be allowed.

This type of system always reminds me of a trading card game system - you beat your opponent and get to choose one of his best cards to keep as a reward. I don't have a problem with it.

I kind of like this idea, except that I think it needs to be tweaked to be on par with the rest of the game. I'd say have level 36 be where full looting can occur - that's where PK kills start coming into effect right. And it's past 30 where you're expected to be competent enough to run. Also, this allows for more widespread lowbie pk without of complete gank.

Similar thought, why not have below 36 be a you can only loot the person if you kill the person. Yes this would promote ganking, but this would give incentive to rank past 36 if you're a vet (so you can gank level 50 corpses), but it would also provide a safe haven for newbs. IE: if you get ganked by a person, you'll only lose a little bit of eq. There would also be a clear distinction between newbie pk ranks and holy-shit-what-your-back pk ranks (which can be achieved in 4 hours ala surge).

I still maintain my basic premise. Doing tedious shit you just did an hour ago isn't fun. Re-equipping isn't fun. The point of the game is to have fun. Therefore, constantly having to re-equip, when you just got your eq an hour ago, is definatly bad juju.

I think I like that idea. I mean, full looting someone is a crap load of fun, but I think the fight is even funner(even when you lose, until you get back to your corpse and find it empty) but with this that won't happen at the lower levels, and even if they can take two items or whatever, even if they both are rares, you still have enough to either kill them back or replace the two items without taking a couple hours to do it.

It was a good idea divsky, but who knows if the imms will code it in
