Why take away a perfectly legitamate style of pking and defense? Killing yourself has its place, and I think that it's actually a more skillful part of pking. My advice to beating it Get good at chasing people so they can't bomb themselves. Even at sards you can protect the door and swing when they try and leave. Even the lantern+bomb can be easily beaten by a good chaser, as they lose their blink when they place the bomb. This isn't a issue with the game, if anything it makes pking more interesting and exciting. if someone is on my bad side I will SD so they will never kill me. Sometimes ill do it just for practice. Hell, some days I'll just feel like it and do it. Do I feel bad for "robbing" you of a kill? Not at all, because if you weren't good enough to stop my suicide then you didn't deserve to kill me. |

All I want is for kills to not count or decrease when players team kill their guild members on .5 with an arrow or a bomb.

"Killing n00bz is a perfectly legitamate style of PKing." "Attacking people with saint is a perfectly legitamate style of PKing." Meanwhile, why take away a "legitamate" style of defense? How in the world is killing yourself a defense? There's no honor in it. It has a negative effect on gameplay, plain and simple. |

Staff on Classic, to my knowledge, never went through scripted efforts to stop laming... I can't recall them really punishing anyone who chose to do it either. If they did, Silvercrank went unpunished for years. The trident NPC existed almost exclusively for laming. I don't agree with limiting players to playing a certain way just because the community perceives their strategy as lame.

Yeah it's annoying, but I honestly don't think anything should be done about it. Whenever someone suicides they are only making themselves worse off. Wasting their time focusing on dying rather than getting a few more kills with their half heart. If you think you deserve the kill just because you got the last hit before they suicided, you should also argue that whoever did the most damage to the person deserves the kill, not just whoever got the last hit. It would be more fair, but overly complicated and unnecessary. People deny and/or steal your kills, but you most likely deny and/or steal theirs too.

They can get the kill its just that they dont like that its harder cuz players can kill themselves which is a good challenge imo. |

I never said pking is annoying. My statement was specifically about suiciding, which denies a kill from a player. Which of course, is annoying. However, there is more than 1 way to deny a kill, not just suiciding, so that "annoying" factor of missing out on a kill will always be present. |

And the Impact of gameplay is debatable. I can argue that it forces people to improve, instead of giving them a kill they didn't finish off. |

Seen this a few times in swamp near destiny. Those fires are pretty handy for suicide noobs. Where's Jeffery when you need him? Kidding aside, the major drawback I see in current implementation of suicide is the fact that they don't drop bombs or arrows. It's just an annoyance to have some random roll up on ya while writing a message and kill you for your ammo, then run off and kill themselves without any penalty. Damn punk thieves... |
