beginner protection out the Q&A part 3

[Richy Boy]

Will there be any form of beginner's protection implemented into the game?
We think it's already there: First you cannot activate PvP before reaching level 10. Second you yourself can choose when to activate PvP, therefore it is your own choice if other players are even able to shoot you. If you feel that this is not enough or misses the point please feel free to share your view on this with us.

I saw this point being made in the Q&A, might I get further on that point, as you say share views on that....

in my opinion the need to be lvl 10 for PM is a good thing, but still you often see that higher players who in my eyes then are very childish by doing it, still come and kill lower system ships or players.

why not build in an other kind a protection.... let's say you can not shoot a lower system ship or better only the same kind a system ships can shoot at each other... then again also you could build in the fact that when a lower system ship shoots at a higher lvl system ship you only then can shoot back...

and also build that in with lvl's ... let's say you can not fire upon a player who is more then 15 lvl's lower....

that will improve the fact that higher players don't go childish and go on a podding spree in lower systems,... in return you GM's won't get bothered by all this herassment by them and can focus yourselfs on other things

Sounds good.

Your can't attack a lower level ship before the actually attack you. so in case of them "harrassing" you, you could actually shoot back...me like it

I wasn't gunna say anything cuz it's a circular argument and no one wins it, but if you stick pirate mode on then expect to get shot. Personally I don't like shooting at players in ships that can't kill me but not everyone has my work ethic. If i go red I EXPECT to get shot by other players that are red, I knew that the first time I turned on pirate mode. It's rather obvious what it's used for unless you're really young like 12-. Basically what I'm saying is if you don't wanna run the risk of getting shot by an idiot with a big gun then don't stick pirate mode on at all, and if you need to then be smarter about it and don't make it so easy to get caught.

The fact you don't have to turn it on at all is beginner protection enough and adding the level restrictions rubbish just adds unnecessary complication to it. don't wanna be a pod then don't go red, simple as that... Pirate Galaxy is called that for a reason.

This^ damn Murphy you beat me to it lol.

I would also like to add to this. What do you think the purpose of the game is? When you get to the highest level what do you think you should do? Keep stocking up on cash? Or use the ship you have put a ton of hard work into to have some fun, and have an advantage over other players because you worked for it?

No, I personally do not pod level 10s. But it is stupid, really stupid to think that the more work you put into the game, the more restrictions you put on yourself. That is ridiculous. Where does it stop? Why not put restrictions on so people with rare Bps cant attack players with normal Bps? Or why not have it so players with more skill get penalised for being good at the game?

It is a really stupid argument. The system in place now caters for the low levels and high levels respectively.

IF YOU TURN PVP MODE ON, EXPECT PVP.

What in the hell do you think its supposed to be used for?

Perhaps they should re name it to PVP mode so the less mentally capable of us understand what its meant for.

 

[Richy Boy]

both are right of course , i am not saying that when turning red on you shouldn't be suprised to be podded... yep that's the game of course...

al i say is that what ever is the case is to relieve the constant herassing of peepz podding real low players and certainly lower system ships, yes you build and have been putting effort in to get big and high, but be honest where is the fun in going to vega in your drac ship and pod vega system ships i then say put then a limiter on it, you just then can not shoot as that is not gamefriendly anymore it's just childish...

the developers could build the protection to a certain point a bit further, otherwise i say let even a lvl 1 turn on pm as what you say nobody needs protection....

Exactly! I agree totally
and as for Richy I think if you don't turn pirate mode on as I said already then you won't et shot, or simply be smarter about it and don't be such a target. I mean... who's the bigger idiot? the Idoit doing the popping, or the idiot who turned pirate mode on knowing he'd get popped then whinning about it in his pod?

 

[Sinned]

I also think its not a good idea.

See, pirate mode is not that important, I dont even know if it still gives that 5% extra exp anymore, and even if it does, its just 5%, no big deal.

Maybe restricting people from killing noobs in Vega would be good, Idk. I mean why would anyone pod people in vega or antares, they are all noobs who know very little about the game, plus, they are like one shot kill.If you want some fun, go to mizar or sol, at least those will try to fight back and give you some entertainment.

Anyway, PG is not that much pvp oriented, although some noobs turn red some times, most of them are white all the time, I think even they dont care so much.
