16465, I really hate to start a ####storm, but I have to comment

More than 50 kills at any level, seems like it should be enough for distention to kick in. Even if you are eating a fair amount of deaths getting those kills. From an outsiders perspective, it seems like whatever formula is being used might be in need of a second look.

The closer you get to hero, the harder it is to distend. (Among other factors involved.)

Dying doesn't make you distend less quickly.
16467, I think her point is,

Even if your level 45, if you have 50 kills at that level you should probably be distending.
16468, I'm aware. I just don't agree.

You could distend with 50 kills at any level, but then again you also might not. I'm pretty happy with the way the system works right now.
16469, I think.

You'd rather just be stubborn about it to keep from us being partially right. 50+ kills at 41 without a hint of distention seems pretty shoddy, especially on the character involved and all the crapfest of accusations and defenses. I'd be in favor of revising the limits a character distends at, personally.

I'm still aghast at the selective nitpicking immortals scrutinize some characters with but not others. Then again, how kosher would it be to concede in the playerbase's direction...?

You missed the boat on this one, even though you operate and maintain an incredible game worthy of three cheers.
16470, I don't agree.

Thats fewer than 2 PK's per level. I hardly think thats excessive.
16471, Pretty sure they are talking about...

Total PK Wins 74 (53 at level 41)
16473, Oh...Thats different then.

Yeah, thats kind of excessive when someone is level sitting. I can see that. But by level 41, 74 PK wins isn't really super fantastic when you die as often as he did too. The fact that so many of them were at level 41 makes it different, I agree.

By the looks of it, said character in question hit level 41 at or about early January, and deleted at or about early Febuary. Is one month a long time to level sit?
16475, Yes and no...
Posted by Vladamir on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Without ANY forward momentum or any intention of it, yeah. The character in question could find groups to gank with, he could have found groups to rank with. It's not like he was stuck in a rut and couldn't have found anyone to level up with. It's not like he was just roleplaying either. He basically hit 41 and just started PKing a lot. Valid. Lame, but valid.

PK Gank-O-Meter Total PK Wins 74
Total PK Assists 9
Average Group Size Per Kill 1.18

Death's Gank-O-Meter says: Solo-Killer

Average Group Size Per Death 1.33


Death's Ganked-O-Meter says: Murdered By The Self-Reliant




That doesn't seem very gank-y to me. Other than the mentioned full loot on Gharral Daevryn put in the PBF, I don't see much to warrant much disgust. What's lame about PK'ing?

Then again, I just got done playing a thief who was at the same level for about two months (maybe more?), due to a lack of play time and inability to find groups, so the one month didn't seem excessive to me.
16478, I wasn't saying all he did was gank.
Posted by Vladamir on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
But he found people to group with to go PKing. He could have levelled up easily had he chosen to. Like I said it was a VALID thing for him to have done, it was just also pretty lame to level sit deliberately. when you didn't rank up you said it was from lack of play time and no groups. When he didn't rank up it was a conscious decision.

See the difference?
