Accidently killed a friend when we were fooling around and i crit him so he died, now i was red and im used to be able to kill like 5 mobs the first time getting red to get rid of karma, didnt work, they really want you to kill 720 mobs for getting red the FIRST TIME? ****, L2 has never been this bad and carebear before, dont even get any exp from the mobs u kill when ur red, i mean there was already harsh penalties BEFORE this stupid patch when u got red, but now the game is completely unplayable if you kill one or two so it's reroll all over, gg lvl 40 character, thats what happens when idiots try to fix something that is not broken, the PK system was fine and was never broken, now you broke it though.
Can't be arsed, just wanted to vent a bit, nothing will change anyway but their biggest mistake ever was to try and fix something that obviously was not broken, and then announce L2 as the "ultimate pvp experience" :rolleyes:
I know this thread will start flooding with carefaces any minute who will write something in the line of "herpderp dont pk then if u cant handle it" "just grind it off on those 720 mobs" or whatever so i'll save you some time so you dont have to come here with those lines cause obvious careface is obvious
the game is whatever Korea decides the game is supposed to be. Yeah the previous karma system was great, yeah the current one sucks but ... nothing anybody can do about it. The game is made by koreans for koreans, they decide what works according to their gamestyle not ours
Goto the Patch notes page. Figure out how fame works. Win.
Secondly, going red is fun n all, and working off in 5 kills is too. But when you think about it, Working your chaotic off in 5 kills is more carebear. Sure you aren't as care about going red, but that's only because you know you can work it off before they can res and come find you.
So technically its carebear when you look at it from both prespectives. ;)

This person speaks the truth. The current system is actually more "hardcore" since the penalties are so great for PK.
you never could wash karma with 5 mobs on retail, even if it was your first PK it took a lot more. The real issue, in a way, was at 85 lvl I could wash I think about 250,000 karma with 1 death. Brez, bob's your uncle. Meantime I had pked a whole party. That wasn't fair either

Notice you are probably near lvl 20 and can't even get pass the guards in town
Make new char because it would save more time and be carebear on your main for the rest of your life so you won't have to resort to pointless pveing again
People could probably do a quick editing of the karma reduction multiplier, but meh, lets not care about making the game more carebear
If ppl rly wanna get red now, they should have a permared.
Else just calm down and don't let you being teased.
it was either 150 or 250k, I really don't remember, but it was that order of magnitude. I used to pk a specific clan's trains in GC and just wash with one death in castle
I would have to say you never played L2 in C1? going red ALWAYS took tons of kills to work off. That is the point. More killing to work off Karma = LESS carebear. Means you actually have to be somewhat strategic and smart about who you kill and when. I remember going red and getting wrecked by someone and dropping a weapon i spent 3 weeks gathering mats to craft, that is when it was serious.
I actually had a really good time last night and can't wait to get home tonight and disregard my family for another 8 hours playing the GoD updated Lineage 2!
