#54209, "Old news."


          

As much as I hate to say it, I am gazing at my consoles again. Seems I need to take a break and it seems almost as if the game has devolved into who can kill someone the most. Never mind if its a repeat, or hey there he is again lets kill his groupmate, or hey Im bored lets kill him again. I don't know whats going on behind the scenes, but its turning this one off.

Daevryn is right for once. CF has become less bloody and it's a damn shame. This coming from an RPer like me.

Edit: Language.

I think you're imagining a golden age of the game that never was, in all honesty. For most of the history of the game everyone considered you fair game to kill again once you unghosted. Now, if anything, the balance overall has swung too far towards hands-off - most people who get PKed won't make any kind of effort to avoid danger thereafter, trusting that their killer wouldn't dream of coming near them again.

The player base in general seems to frown on multi killing that if you do it you're liable to get someone bitching about you on the forums or that player tries to retaliate in a bad way.

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with it. I'm just saying there is a bad flavor attached to it. I'm also guilty of it. I've avoided killing people I just killed and I've made comments to people who tried to kill me after I unghosted.
