CombatXP

Heya,

I'm just wondering if it is possible to jack up the combatXP from regular kills. Really fighting people is more timeintensive then botting not to mention way more expesnive.

The way I would see it is that you base it off on playerkills and add a modifier from duelrating (above 1500 = *2; 600 - 1500= 1.5; below 600 = *1) and combatxp (combatlicence = 7 -> *70). And as long as you are in the same category of pks (0 - 25 , 25 - 100 , 100 - 500, 500+) you get the maximum combatxp for that bracket. Example, somebody with a duelrating of 1000 , combatlicence of 8 and 50 pks killing somebody of +- the same statue would get something like 1000-1500 xp, while if he killed somebody with only 22 pks he would only get like 500-750. while if he killed somebody with like 200 pks he would get 2000 - 3000, and killing somebody of 500+ pks makes it like 3000- 4000 (just try killing shape or niki as a newb, not a big chance...).

Since it is quite redicolous that beating people with like 1000 pks is way less important then killing a person with 0 pks but a combatlicence of 13... Not to mention that this behaviour adds griefing since ht emore battlehardened people go after the people with 0 or no skill in battling. Its like painting a big bulls-eye on a newbie pve-er. In stead of encouraging people of their own skilllevel/preference (remotely) to fight each other. But it still premotes newbies trying to fight non newbies and in general pvp.

PS: also add duelpks to the pk number since they don't get added to your pk score and do give away the intention of being able to fight yes or no.

PPS: was just an idea, if it doesn't get added so be it. Not to mention the numbers where only provisional. But I do hope they give away the intention that I had.

cheers

AFAIK they do add to the pks

As for making levels less important for the amount of xp given.
/me agrees! .. for .. uh .. undisclosed reasons <.<

well it means that they fixed that then (since I didn't win a duel for a long time).

But 1 month ago it wasn't counted towards your pk medal or pk scores.

there are very few battlehardened people I know that go after newbies with good levels. most people I know who do PvP are done with levels. they don't care about XP anymore.

but, that being said, it's silly that I get more XP for killing a TyCorp right now than killing Shape. *sniff*

(not that I can remember what I get for killing Shape, it's been a while)

I know, but it was just an exageration to prove a point. As all are generalisations.

I just wanted to convoey the point that if a less batlehardened person is able to beat a battlehardened person, that the reward should be formadastic. Its like being a lowly peasant(david) and beating the evil giant (goliath).

David became king afterwars you know :D
