death on the RP server

[Drake]

the codename weapons can be looted only once by each character.

Erm, not true. I've looted a whole bunch of wrecks a whole bunch of times.

[Lohingren]

well personally i cant say anything about "practicing" i do it alot with my members to see how they're skills are coming along.

i dont do it in conneticut as it should be which il be changing from now on. didnt realise it wasnt allowed till i came accross a post saying it should be done there.

as for the wrecks they can be looted only once and respawn after server crashes or restarts

Erm, not true. I've looted a whole bunch of wrecks a whole bunch of times.

some wrecks can do that.

but all the good ones can only be looted once.

this has been proven, probably multiple times.


and...to RP the practicing...call it a simulation.

I don't see a problem with people losing weapons, even irreplacable weapons. So what? There shouldn't be weapons in this game that are so much superior to others. Having a full load of Unstopable Weapon X doesn't make you a better pilot but it sure can win a lot of battles for you.
i.e. The high end stuff is ridiculous anyway, good riddance if it all got blown to bits.

Sigh, you want True RP. JINX. Delete your character after you die.
We on the other hand are not as fanatic as that. I agree with Unseeliethat some gunz are rare and it is very tough to replace them. As far as Battleship runing into a planet because fo my damage ? lets say I help the other faction scrap their boat. Woohooo for me.Besides imagine all the goodies battle ships drop when they go bye bye.

Pipsqueak has a point, if you want to take the RP to its fullest extent, then once you die, your dead, delete the character and move on. Hey listen, I love the RP factor of this server, thats why Im here, but as I have said before there is such a thing as too far. It is still a game. Its ROLE-Play not REAL-play or RULES-play. It would start to get to a point where you take the fun right out of it. And after all isnt fun the whole point?

I mean just play the game. If someone is ridiculously out of RP then report them, but let the minor crap go.

i agree with AC merc heh wouldnt be much point in playing a game if your gonna take things to far, and also as he said no point in fussing over minor things such as suicide.

because in all honesty its out of RP but i can vouch for pretty much everyone on this server faction leaders and the like that you have suicided on purpose at one point.

tis still a game and we should all remember that cant be taking things to the extreme as AC said and make it Real play. Although the two are VERY similar, theres a fine line between real play and role play that line being the hardcore gamer line which i like to call it. where everything is taken TOO seriously. personally if things was way to real life like i probably wouldnt play games id go run into a gun fight with a local gang and risk my ass that way cause all in all it would be the same thing - the whole permanent death part. heh

yes, but doesn t that add to the thrill of combat? - right now, you loose... nothing at all, a few bats and maybe ammo, thats it. but a risk at loosing hard earned equipment - that would spice it up.

While I think it would be fun, I have to disagree. This would only effect the winner of a PVP who had lost their weapons or someone who was severely losing and fled the battle. And as it has been mentioned before, rare items like codenames can only be looted once per character.

As far as NY & noPVP/RP I agree, the no PVP/RP system should be moved (if not a new, dead end system with no NPC's and a single zoner base appended from NY)

My thinking is that when you're destroyed the pilot usually ejects in some secretive manner which resourceful people such as ourselves would have or the crew simply abandons the ship. For suicide could say that the pilot already ejected and set the ship on a course to burn up in the planet's atmosphere, but same idea.

- An outcast destroyer sitting off Manhattan farming npc Liberty pilots is ridiculously ooRP.
- Flying into the sun to recover lost gear is ridiculously ooRP.

I'm about as far from hardcore PvP as you'll meet, but if you're going to lay it on the line in RP-based combat with your worst enemy, suck it up and fix/replace your gear if some is destroyed. I mean seriously, how much more out of RP can you get than insta-fixing everything at the cost of ammo+botsbats?

<edit>
BUT, yeah as DarkOddity pointed out; since destroying your enemies while you survive with broken weapons is actually more of a penalty to the "winner", I don't know what the solution would be.
