potential keep inventory change? Back

MrTurtleGamer about 1 year ago

this is an idea that i just thought of and was wondering what ppl think abt it. from my understanding, the reason keep inventory was added was so new players aren't discouraged from fighting? i definitely agree with that, and i feel bad that new players aren't given new sets by their leaders and are usually yelled at instead for dying, but i don't think sieges should be ruined for the rest of the players for just a small minority

my solution is a little complicated, but i think it could work - enable keep inventory for all players until they reach 3 siege kills, and from that point on they will always have no keep inventory at any siege. this would mean new players will have keep inventory most of the time until they learn more about the server and gain extra sets, while the average player will have keep inventory disabled because reaching 3 siege kills over a period of time isn't too hard. this would also stop "log on pvpers" from having keep inventory because they'll probably get 3 kills before they die anyway

this gonna sound arrogant, but i don't know how often average players get kills in sieges, so maybe 3 kills is too much/little. i just used that as a base number and it can be changed

I want to point out that its not a complete keep inventory, you still drop items bellow 25% armor dura so technically its meant to prevent item loss for quickdrops but still drop items for people that survived a lot of damage. If the armors arent dropping as often in the upcoming wars next week it might be better to increase the % at which they drop till its about the number you reach when you empty out your healing

lmao no, i killed over 20 pvpers and at least 18 did /suicide before their durability was low, and about quickdrops, their durability never goes below 80%, so basically your point only applys to 2% of server pvpers

perfect example "oh im in gank, i will die 100% so i'll do /suicide so i lose nothing"
not even in gank, in open field its impossible to go below 20% durability without getting drained of pots

If suiciding mid combat is an issue, it can be edited quite easily to prevent it from being used or a 1 day cooldown or anything really. And if only 2% of the people get to keep their items on death I don't see it as a major problem then from pvper perspective that want items to drop

As said above, if people dont drop bellow 25% durability after getting drained of pots then it should be increased. Preferably if it can be different percentages for chestplate and leggings or them losing more durability so they drop as well. Im not against armors dropping after being fully drained of potions but I feel like its fine to have it keep your items if its some random quickdrop that doesnt even know how to heal or if you lag out and die or if you get one tapped by a cannon or something.

So instead of fully removing it I feel like the path should be more towards what percent of armor you have when you empty out your healing or are close enough to having it empty. That way you can make sure that they drop from people who actually know how to play. If people still refuse to spend too much healing to survive, there are alternatives such as losing more points on death to motivate them away from dying or even maybe giving them debuffs based on how often they died in a siege meaning people who die a lot will maybe do less damage, take more damage, potentially even get war sickness and not able to participate in the war for some time as well.

Would that be a sufficient alternative? It prevents people from suiciding and dying too often and covers the part where armor should drop more often from scenarios where they should while not dropping if you die to soon by accident
