An event in the name of OW PK!

  • Cloudfall PvP Event!

    Hey, my name is Frostwolf, my in game name is Mikael on the EU server.


    I am a person who very much enjoys open world PvP and PK and games that support them, so naturally I've been quite drawn to SOLO given that it has its very own rampage system.

    Sadly the system has in many ways been very unenjoyable due to its far too great punishments. While being in prison I met many others who voiced similar concerns to those of mine. That is why I think I am far from the only one who think that the many punishments that PK apply are too much.

    So I thought why not do something a little more interactive than just writing a complaint about it?

    I have planned an event to take place on the EU CBT2 on the last day of the CBT, in this event me and anyone else interested in PK would group up together and go around killing everything we see. This event is partially with the aim of causing a bit of a stir and getting some exposure to us as a part of the community. Have our voices heard, if you will. But at its core it is also just for fun, a nice little event for other individuals who enjoy PK as much as I do to get together and get to know each other, and enjoy a fun time together.

    I'm writing this post because I want to invite anybody in the community to join.


    (Once more I repeat this is for EU, but should enough interested people appear on the NA side I would be willing to try and find a person that would want to organize a similar event on NA)


    I also wish to make sure you people who do NOT enjoy OWPvP understand that this isn't us asking for 0 punishment in regards to PK, it is merely us wanting less punishment for a system that is, as it is right now far too harsh. This isn't to piss on your parade, it's an event for our fun and for us to get our voices heard in a way.


    More exact details for the event will be in the Discord that I will post below. I hope some of you will find interest in this! Happy gaming.

  • Hah. There are literally five threads open right now wanting Rampage to be removed..

    You will get your jollies when Factions are implemented. Then you can go around killing people with half your gear score "for the fun"

  • Yes you are right here, The PK punishment is just out of some nightmere

    Rampage system needs a major revamp asap . I can be punish but do it with dignity and when I PK someone its like iam fighting a game not the player . well Let me kill big fishes and Pk whoever I want, put me to jail etc but Remove the stun and lighting debbufs . Kill me at max evil QI or debbuf then but not for 1 or 2 players, this is killing the PVP hardcore PK comunity who more offten than not Create content that make the world game alive

    another game that has open pvp game and SOLO crearly takes some ideas from is AGE OF WUSHU

    Expecialy the chinese version have INSANE amout of community , 2h Q to join thier server

    Player driven wars and PK gangs , content from it . economy and everyting is just out of this world . just becouse they let us PK

  • I think the punishments should be even more strict for human-filth that would dare force me into combat that i have zero interest in. Cowardly players should have their computer explode the very moment you place your hands on another player.


    Outside of PVP events that is. All pvp except Pk is fine in my books.

    Someone else's opinions or how many likes I can receive will never go into consideration before I press submit to any of my posts.

    Yup, enjoy your time in jail carrying rocks. You wont missed.


    Enough times of sitting in jail and you will move on to another game.

  • You realize that the event is planned for the very end of the beta, after which everything will be wiped?


    They could get a thousand of hours of prison and it wouldn't matter one bit as it'll all disappear a few hours later as if all of it had just been a dream.

    Agreed on everything you said, but this part especially - dissuade genuine griefing but not killing 1 or 2 people. Or let people build up positive Qi that get reduced gradually or exponentially.


    Great to see this initiative in any case, kudos! ^^

    That's still silly. What if those 1-2 people also didn't want to be killed? Especially if they were in the middle of a quest, afk or just simply wasnt ready for a raging lunatic coming in fully buffed with fresh hp armed with try-hard tactics. It's still considered griefing.

  • All the best, I hope the event is a success.

    It's always appreciated - to me anyway - to see a different point of view.

    Not much of a fan of PK-ing, but in Gu Jian's case, it fits perfectly into its lore and it makes sense why its there in the first place. I'm definitely against lifting restrictions already in place though.

    Good and Bad sects have always been a theme in Wuxia-novels, the struggle between good and bad has always taken a pivotal role in story progression.

  • That's still silly. What if those 1-2 people also didn't want to be killed? Especially if they were in the middle of a quest,

    Its even worse then that in this game. You pvp in pvp gear and pve in pve gear.


    If someone jumps you when you are in pve gear, you have no chance to defend yourself. Its a free kill. No challenge, no skill, you just die.


    Hopefully there are enough other people around in pve gear that can overwhelm and kill your attacker. Its disgusting, really, that its even allowed and much more disgusting that these people have the gall to complain about the penalty. The penalty only works in other countries because they pay by the hour to play and they dont want to pay to sit in jail. That isnt the case here so the penalty is not remotely harsh enough and needs to be increased.

  • You realize I hope that the more you complain, the more outlandish your claims are, the more you're giving those people the desire to just hunt you down?


    Knowing how bad you'd take it would make spending hours in prison worth it in their eyes.


    On the contrary, the worst you could do to them is ignore them. Just stand immobile when they kill you and get back to your spot as if nothing had happened a minute or two later, while they'll have to spend the next hours in prison forced to admit that it wasn't worth it.


    In this little game, its not the PK who decides if it'll be fun or not. It's how the victims react.

  • You realize I hope that the more you complain, the more outlandish your claims are, the more you're giving those people the desire to just hunt you down?

    Who are you even replying to?


    If its me, my claims are not outlandish. A person in pve gear will not kill a person in pvp gear if equal numbers. Its a free kill.

  • XD.


    I love how this forum is already full of cry babies.

    While the game is not even released


    First the idea is good of creating a pvp event yourself.


    Aslong it won't be a full time 10vs1 or 2


    If you find someone then fight a fair 1vs1

    And let then heal up first before the next jumps inside if one of you guys dies.



    So now to the pve cry babies


    Someone in pve lose against pve?


    Yea if you are shit then just get better and out skill the enemy then you also can win with pve gear against someone in pvp gear


    Another tip.


    Just wear pvp gear or what is the reason to wear pve gear if you are not inside of a dungeon? Can you explain this to me please.


    Does it takes you to long to not kill a trash mob one hit?


    Sorry but this is silly. The only pace wher you need pve gear is inside of a dungeon to enter inside it works the same good with pvp gear as tip.


    Or if you do the bounty hunt for the bountys on hard.


    Now to the topic about the punishment is to hard. For sure it is. I find it good that Ther is a punishment.


    And if ppl cry now about no it's not to hard. Then how about we also add a punisent if you don't deal enough dmg in the dungeon?


    Or if you die during a boss would like this too then this trap runs stop because all of this pve traps are stucked in some jail.


    I am sure then the forum would get spamed with them crying around.


    So wtf is wrong with all of you about I like only pve and hate pvp or I like only pvp and hate pve. This game has both so accapte it and stop crying to other ppl just because they do what they enjoy.


    Just avoid them, get better in pvp or don't run around alone.


    Or how about you just attack first?




    To come to an end. A punishment is good to get dbuffs is stupid.

    Put them in jail for 30min max 1 hour if they die during pvp mode activated

  • I kinda like the system in principle. Someone says you smell in-game? Well then shank the fool. The wait timer and penalty is so absurdly high that the only person you'd ever PK is someone you really really hate. At least in my opinion that's how I see it. It's griefing, but so costly you couldn't afford to do it on a whim or to random people constantly.


    I'll take a guess the reason people saw so much rampage RDM in CBT 1 is because many were finding out the penalty for the first time, or had nothing to lose since the CBT will see a wipe eventually. People were testing the feature and experiencing the costs of using it. Penalties are better learnt than told, and I am confident post launch most people will slow down because the penalties will no longer be ignorable.


    If the system has any hypothetically flaws, it's that people can possibly AFK in-jail through the bulk of the penalty. Grouping Andies could also be a thing. People who PK as a group so they can possibly avoid most of the risks of rampage killing. I dunno, I've heard in the chat once that some people were doing that though.

  • And in the end a game that is developed for another country entirely - that countries population will decide what gets included in the game or not. There won't be two code bases.
