PK boosting
 

Ok so I have just come back onto zone after a short break of it, and I am not sure if this works or not still, You can only kill the same person twice or three times I believe, but I see people kill one afk player, then go and kill another player ect. Does this still add to your PK's or streak or not just wondering.
I don't know if this ever has worked or if it's been patched while I was gone, but thanks to anyone who can answer this :)
Also if it is not fixed is someone working on it, I don't know why it just irritates me when I see someone trying to boost or boosting..

No idea just dont team up with anyone and do it.

Inb4 new teaming drama thread

Instigator lol

Technically its your fault to afk in a pk area.

you can only kill the same person 3 times in a row until you kill someone else for it to count as a kill. Otherwise, the kill dosen't count. Plus with the skyzone bases, pking is much faster now.

dem skybase 1 riot <3

The trick is to kill someone three times, kill someone different, then kill the afk 3 more times. Repeat the process 1,500 times. Be like aero.

you still get more kills faster by killing others around you

Haha I'm not really wanting to boost it just irritates me when I see people doing it that's all, I don't afk that often anyway so it doesn't happen to me.

It was a jailable offence on PC Classic (I'm aware that Classic is not Zone).

The trouble I see with making it illegal on Zone now would be the massive player count. Enforcing such a rule would be difficult, and an automated system doesn't account for ever possible scenario where someone could be innocent or guilty.

You could, however, decrease the amount of points toward a PK score you get when killing the same player too often. I don't know how PKing effects points or score, or it there is even a damaging issue at all, because I don't play Zone; however, if there is a point system and boosting is an issue it could alleviate part of the problem by making the effects of boosting less damaging. Or, all of this already exists and there may be nothing that can be done further without ruining game playability.

When I played Zone on PC, it didn't matter if someone had a high kill streak because there was a bounty system. The more people they kill, the higher their bounty and the more money you would gain from killing them. I can see getting a high bounty and purposefully dying to a friend to give them money a small issue. That was rare on PC because it took too much time to get the bounty and the bounty was easy to lose to someone other than the person you intended to give it to. AKA it was a waste of time.

I think you've got the wrong server, zone's player count isn't that high compared to the other servers.

It's still much more than any PC server at any point in time.

dosent PC only average 80 players or something?

They have an automated system at the moment on idevice so that you can kill 1 player 3 times until the pks no longer count and on classic yes boosting would get you a warning then a ban or jail.

Auto warn after killing someone more then 10 times if they haven't moved??

Thats boosting^ lmfao. I do not do this.... Where have you ever seen me do this? I PK at skybases...

It's a mix of pk and boost.
I've seen you kill afks.

It will get you banned and your kills will be reset. If you don't care about that though have fun.

well sheiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit im getting reseted now since I kill afkers all the time.

I don't think it matters so much if you kill afkers once or twice

If you're able to get away with resets on the iServers, I'll be surprised. My account on PC Zone had gotten a reset, posted about it and got a response from Stefan in that thread within hours saying he'll get it fixed and this was all after Zone died.

PKing random afkers will get you banned? It's their fault they're in the way.

How about a better auto disconnect..

You should ban all the pkers, then they can't boost! :D
just kidding

yes yes and we should also ban all those assholes at start who afk and take up space on the servers :D

Please do! I report all those morons who idle saying they're single and all that. Then I publicly humiliate them, and they dissapear(banned maybe) :D

Should be a script on AFK'ers that if they dont move for five minutes and killed they'll be sticked automatically.

or you know

force disconnect them after 5 minutes.

We did have one... somehow it was removed.

scumbag stefan

no dude, afkers are free kills and i take advantage of that. I usually pk them then another guy near me then the afker again, then another person etc etc. Except in planets. I leave them alone so they get a huge bounty then kill em.

Just, kill dating.
Y'know, I bet there are many *********s..

Make a place for them to go, and banish them to there for maybe 30 min to a day if they day looking for hot bf/gf or any of the single crap.

Ban them for life
Reason: Download Graal Classic.

Just as Shiz said, make a script that sticks them if they dont move for 5 minutes. Problem Solved!

i boosted off of 2 paused noobs till i got a 400 streak

So? It's not like numbers matter :)
