Tera: PvP FAQ & POST RELEASE Discussion/Bitching: Killing lowbies allows your guild to win e-peen

[Kachiko]

On the Karma thing though, it says "lose 10% xp" and "drop items"

is that from Lineage 2 or in TERA as well? I know the whole xp loss when ganked sucked when I played L2

TERA won't have an EXP penalty; just a crystal break penalty, when you die as an Outlaw, and an increased chance to boot for that status. Crystals are expensive and already break a lot on Hard Mode dungeons, so it's a big penalty. That is, if you decide to even bother with them.

Asia is IP banned at least. Additionally the new RMT strategy is to be non confrontational it appears.
Cleaning up outlaws/botters shouldn't impact your own outlaw status much as it decreases on its own and by mob killing.

That's quite contradictory to EME's whole PP presentation on why botting is bad for the developer, and consumer, and how they were considering actively combating it. As it stand now We'll have to become Outlaws, in order to beat them off for a while, and we'll suffer the consequences of doing so. Ass backwards, if you ask me, but there's still a lot of time to come up with something better, before release. Make no mistake that the game is easily bottable, and it was ridiculously widespread in K-TERA, when I played, causing such an influx in gold that you had to buy currency, to get anywhere, in the end game grind game unless you really played 24/7.

It would be amusing to wander around slaughtering bots and then farming in their place for a while to work off the life debts.

Guild vs. guild sounds like it'll be a lot of fun.

There are 2 pvp types from what I just read then, the normal, activate pvp, and go kill people you see. Then the, pay a fee for a 24hour announced kill fest on another guild. Just wanted to confirm, in PVE server, the guild battle option is not available? Being able to pvp only when you declare war sounds really fun, but chance of being killed while soloing or fighting a bam does not. I guess im split on the idea, but will have to see with the upcoming beta. I really would like to see guild pvp and battlefields no matter what server you are on. Just have to see how invasive the active pvp option is, in relation to just going out and having fun in dungeons/quests. Hate to see a repeat of Aion where walking out of town lead to just being sent right back to town.

[Kachiko]

GvG is PvP server only.

Next Beta is a Free for All, with no penalties, which isn't currently the game-plan for the launch PvP servers. Basing your decision, on your experience then, isn't worth much since that's not how it's going to be come launch date.

[Divimise]

Overall the pvp server sounds so much more fun. Especially since if you can get a guild member voted in as a leader, you can control aspects like turning pvp on/off. I like the social aspect the game claims to have when it comes to controlling regions. If someone can confirm this information(terafans.com/topic/7254-information-about-pk-system/) is the active system, then pvp sounds pretty simple if you are not a solo gamer. If that's the case, then I can see things getting annoying fast. Being able to "call for backup" by inviting friends into party is a nice way to avoid being overpowered, tho there still an oshit moment if pvp starts and a full party of 5 come running to you. It also mentions being limited to being able to only pvp based on how much pvp tokens you have. So you have to grind or go back to town to restock at some point. Tho with inv expansion im sure someone will just be holding an infinite amount of these pvp items if this is still part of the game. I like playing support in pvp, but I recall from posts when the game fist came out how simple is was for someone to just rush the back lines, take out the support jobs in 1-2 hits, then just see who does more damage among the dd's. Anyone have personal experience in these kinda group battles? I do have to say, as something to put in to the game makers, if you are all in one guild, and someone declares pvp on you. I think all guild members, in party or not, should be allowed to join in, if the system can support guild on guild pvp, then it should be able to handle guild on 1 player data.

You should read the first post of this thread.

So do you still go red + gain infamy when you kill someone in self defense (e.g. you're not the one that initiates PvP combat)? Gaining the stamina debuff after killing some random terrible player that tries to gank me seems shitty, especially when you're in the middle of killing a bam.

[madpersian]

You don't gain infamy for killing someone who goes outlaw and attacks you. I don't think you go red either, but I'm not certain.

[Greatguardian]

Yeah, you don't go red. Though, funny tip, if you do go outlaw yourself then everyone else appears red to you regardless of their outlaw status.

[Senji]

There is no downside to attacking or killing an outlaw player.

[Ezek]

Cool, thanks for the quick answers. Seems like the perfect PvP system in my eyes, just makes me want to play this game even more.

[Amiricle]

Not at all what I first envisioned. Will be rollin on a pvp server for sure.

[Eyedea-Seraph]

Wow this games exciting me more and more each read! PvP it is

[Senji]

Anyone notice if we get exp for pks?
