SweetOldBob Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 This afternoon I was winding down in the cantina in House Organa's area on Anderaan -- sending my crew off on tasks before I logged off -- when I was slaughtered by a level 50 troll. That is so asinine! It's bad enough -- really, really bad -- for a level 50 player to gobble up level 30 opponents in single combat, but to hang out in a cantina? I'm new to MMO. So far, I've really enjoyed the PvP stuff, but if this sort of thing happens much more, I'm switching to a PvE server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is such a troll answer but "pvp happened" I would say just roll on a PVE server now and save the hasle if you dont want to get killed.

fordpre Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Since when could we roll trolls? If you roll on a PVP server you will most likely get ganked from time to time if you cant handle it reroll pve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch_TwentyTwo Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 troll? why did you roll on a pvp server if getting killed makes you post whines? My question as well. If you are on a PvP server and currently flagged active for PvP then yout 'attacker' was 100% within their rights to take you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaltChrono Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 There is no honor or skill in killing an opponent much lower in level than you. Those that do it should see a lot of negative things happening to them. A lost of status, increase to prices at the various vendors, if they continue loss of galatic market priviliges. Don't give me that crap about "hey this is a pvp server", of course it is and there is nothing wrong with PVP but slaughter of lower levels? There is no skill in that and only lazy cowards do it. Sanction those that kill lower levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufutiz Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I actually find it very amusing your slayer waited for you in the cantina where you felt safe and just wanted to carebear it out a little before logging off :-) that is the best kind of PvP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameirus Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 unfortunately the pvpers of MMOs sadly think that jumping underleveled undergeared people in areas that should be safe is pvp. its not, but they get kicks from it. Most pvpers should rename themselves, worthless skilless little ***** and have done with it as they generally run when faced with a fair fight, or even one that looks like they wont roflpwn it. Its not pvp, but sadly these people think it is. This game sucks for world pvp anyway, you can level to max and never ever see a player of the opposing faction pretty easily.

JerokTalram Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 This is what your guild is for. In WOW, when a Horde was camping and killing those trying to level, we just asked our guild for help. You can whine all you want on how a level 50 shouldn't be attacking a level 30 but that's really not going to achieve anything. If you don't want to die in PVP, roll on a PVE server.

QuintessaSHeera Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 If the person who attacked you was playing an evil character (like a Sith), it's not completely out of character for them to kill you when you're not expecting it. Sorry, but that's how PvP is sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicalPremise Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Remind me again what PvP servers are for if not for ePeen waving children to boast about how awesome they are by slaying some level 8 n00blet when they are 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matte_Black Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I have to wonder. Was the OP an Imp or Republic character. Would be really sad if a bored Imp troll just drove off a potential PvPer willing to fill out the undermanned opposition for a cheap kill.

Laxhack Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 My question as well. If you are on a PvP server and currently flagged active for PvP then yout 'attacker' was 100% within their rights to take you out. As a question re: PVP servers (so far in TOR I've kept to PVE)- are there no "safe" spots and/or ways to turn off PVP? (most others I played at least gave you a place to park where you couldn't be ganked immediately on log). I agree 100% that PVP = unexpected death, but seems like a cantina should be different?

Andryah Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) My question as well. If you are on a PvP server and currently flagged active for PvP then yout 'attacker' was 100% within their rights to take you out. I believe the OPs point was---------------> WHY would a level 50 gank a level 30 that is minding their own business? It's not like the 30 was taunting the 50 (if the facts of the story are true). On a PvP server, the answer is...... because they can, and they are probably repressed bullies in real life. As for location being an cantina..... well isn't it bars where bullies like to gank people IRL? Maybe there should be elite bouncers in cantinas? OP, record the name of the character and when you see him when you are level 50, pwn him over and over again. Cap players that gank players 20 levels below them are usually not very good at PvP.

SkilledSeeker Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 There are plenty of safe spots. But Alderaan just isn't one of them, cantina or otherwise. It's a heavily contested region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
