#5542, "Change Centurions???"
|
Any way there can be some serious thought of putting in a code for the centurions to let those pre-11 to pay without charge? There's no point to pay pre-11 since you cannot pk, or even get to the cabals or anything. Yes I know there are quests to get the copper but when they are blocking your way to those quests, yeah pretty annoying. I just dont see a point in blocking pre-11. Thank you.

I'd rather have newbies learn about Centurions and how to deal with them while they still won't die from the experience.

Think ghost can now pass through centurions. Not sure about pre-11. If pre-11 can pass through, it will be neat. We are helping newbies a lot here, especially if they just starting playing and don't know what to do at centurions and don't know where coins/expensive items are. It's like disabling them for playing CF. Not good.
Cross my fingers about pre-11.

That makes no Role Play sense. Why would centurions let people who can't PK pass? That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.

Without trying to sound too cynical....
Newbies pre-11 probably make up the vast majority of the copper the centurions collect. For a few reasons.
Newbies have such low mv, and the mv regen is sooooo slow at that rank, combined with the relatively low cost of just paying them off, leads many newbies to just pay (especially since pre-11 it's fairly easy to get items that are worth enough to cover your toll).
Shortly after getting into pk, the hardship of having to go around cents (in those places where they CAN be gotten around) goes down drastically when you consider circumstances like: the quickly rising costs of the tolls, the fact that coin is becoming harder to come by, the need to use what coin you DO have for things to help you survive pk, the fact that now empirials and bloodoaths can use cents as a no-escape deathtrap. Empirial summoners.
(I'm not saying cents need to be changed, or that there is anything wrong with emps using cents in that way)
Considering all of that, I know that I myself, once I hit pk, spam where centurion whenever I step onto a road, and then avoid that road like the plague because I hardly ever have enough to cover the drastically advancing cost of the tolls. but pre-pk, I usually just grab a few items to cover the tolls if I need to go somewhere that cents are guarding, choosing that over adding 20-40 real world minutes to my trip to try to go around them.
