Heres a list of things that could improve PKing

-Add a delay between sword swings so you can't spam as much

-Make it so that you don't drop arrows or bombs if you have equal to or less than 1/4 your max amount

-Add the option to switch your sword with a bow, replacing the button with a directional pad similar to Era or Zone so aiming is easier and less of a hassle

-Reduce knockback taken outside of spar or towers

-Make it so that low AP gives you the bonus of slow regeneration in addition to not being able to heal from hearts or beds

-Add a slowdown effect on players with only .5 hearts left  

None of that will happen tbh.  

PK= Player Killer/Killing

-Add a delay between sword swings so you can't spam as much

If I can't spam as much that means I can't kill as much, how is that improving Player Killing?

How about just removing the bomb and arrow drops.

Don't know what this means, but I don't see how hard is it to be accurate with bows.

What? How can you regenerate health when you can't heal?

So suicide players get a disadvantage?

As someone that has had many 1v1 in a pk environment I can say this will be dumb because it would affect the "skill variable" I've had many comebacks at .5 and a slow down effect would make that almost impossible. I've read twilit posts that say hes had 3+ kills at .5 from mod. Slow downs work on servers with different classes that are balanced and provide perks to counter slowdowns.  

Delay? no
drops, sure
switch weapons, sounds good
knock-back, no
no
maybe, for the runners  

Praise the Lord goat for speaking.

"Lord" Goat is talking out of his arse.

Delay between sword swings means you need to actually time your swings and use skill. Just because you can't instantly heal with items doesn't make a very slow regeneration effect illogical or paradoxal. The dropping of items being limited is more balanced than removing it. Knockback reduction YES, I'm not suggesting it be removed just reduced so you aren't sent flying. And being slowed down won't make it any more difficult to make a "comeback". And unless you spam like a dumbbutt turret until you run out of arrows, it's VERY much a hassle to try and aim and not stand in the same exact place shooting multiple arrows.  

You're probably the only one who came up with these ideas and they don't sound very viable in the slightest which is why they won't be added.  

The knock-back is so people can't trap you. Do you even play graal?

Those who sword spam are those who get killed. Go out and watch skillful players fight, they don't just swing and step or sit and swing. The bomb and arrow drops give a reason to not die, so why change it? The knock back gives you ample space to move around, especially in the overworld where it can be cramped. Why add a slow regen? There would be very limited purpose to one, as 90% of people just SD at 0.5, and would rather just get back to pking. Plus, this isn't era or zone. In real life, do archers run around willy-nilly shooting arrows? No. You need to set a stance, then fire. So, why add a "gun" to classic? At that point there would be no difference. Also, less speed at 0.5, really? How will that make it more skillful? Sounds to me like all that would do is hand over an easy kill, and how boring would that be?

Couple questions, how much have you pk'ed on classic? Tower pk or overworld? Because I would like to know how much time you've spent on this.

I've dealt with the pure chaos of overworld pk for 3-4 years now...  

Is that why you don't even have 100k player kills on classic yet claim to be around for so long?

These outside of towers, basically erases pack pking and limits people running away from you across the map on 0.5.  

Hey! I don't have too many kills and I've been around for quite a bit! (I also don't like these ideas.)^~^

Spoiler

Reasons why people pk:

1. They enjoy it
2. They want stats

Ways people chose to pk:

1. Mob spam (including MoD :0)
2. Troll pk
3. Arrow spam
4. afk pk
5. tower pk
6. items pk (bushes/signs/bombs/arrows)
7. skill pk (yes skill)

People that pk for stats don't care about "skill" and the people that want to prove that they are better than other pkrs use "skill" to beat them 1 on 1. Whenever I saw mobs at my pk spot I would spam them with arrows and then some ragers would come after me. I would use my epic "skills" to spank that ass and then they would go back to the mob(on the other side of where I was spamming)

Maybe not, but it is pretty stupid to add it when you can't even heal in the first place 0o

Balanced in regards to what? Pretty stupid addition in the first place.

And being slowed down won't make it any more difficult to make a "comeback".

You cant be this ******ed. You have to be if you really believe this.

And unless you spam like a dumbbutt turret until you run out of arrows, it's VERY much a hassle to try and aim and not stand in the same exact place shooting multiple arrows.

3 reasons why I would shoot arrows during pk:

1. I see noobs mob pkng (arrow spam)
2. some noob runs from me at .5 (I would do a slidedown effect to shoot 3-6 arrows in a stair sequence) effective back in the day and it would usually get my kills, but it became worthless with all the connection issues
3. I'm on a 1 vs 1 battle and the other player uses them (I always let my opponents dictate the rules, so there's no crying after I win)

Moral of the story I don't recall a time where I had issues shooting arrows.




One last note: Pk is not like spar, it actually requires some sort of skill and intelligence if you want be one of the good ones. You go to a spar and you either run to use you're bs connection as an advantage or you go offensive and try to "guess" where the delayed movement will be.

When it comes to pk, every location has it's ways of pkng. Most pkrs have their prefer spot, so they eventually master their location. Go to any pk spot that has a dominant pkr in the area and I guarantee you it will require different skills and intelligence to beat them.
