i want to warn you all about the new pk system at l2. dont pk anyone dont even try to becouse if u do u will dekarm for 4-5h. at first pk you will get -750 rep points and only and only way to get rid of them is to kill mobs -1-2-3 per mob. it's faster to remake 50lvl char then unpking greeting carebears
i was recently at ncsoft servers and ignored the existence of the new pk system. i killed another player who hit my mobs to get the quest items. i looked at my karma and i realized that in its place was a thing called reputation. i started hitting mobs to raise my reputation back to 0 and i realized that only increased two by two. another player killed me and i noticed that my reputation is not increased. i finally had to make another new character, not wanting to spend hours recovering reputation. the new system has advantages and disadvantages, but the disadvantages are greater. advantage: now the bullies will think more before attack you, this means that there will be a rapid leveling and quiet. disadvantage: you can not retaliate when another player steal your mobs or something.
this can be a good reason to ncsoft and 4game to lose players... maybe ppl are starting to leave now... im reconsidering to continue playing here, i attacked a player who didnt stop to steal a quest mob, but i did a magical crit attack ( omfg what rate has i so i attack once in my life a player and get a magical crit ? ) and get 720 karma... searching for a place where dekarm, a green player tried to kill me... i killed him because i was really near of a "good dekarm" spot... 1800 !!! 1800 karma omfg !!! now i cant take this char again... fail !!! incredible fail at this dam system !!!
good luck, bb. remind, don't pk ppl, it's considered homicide in-game. (notice the sarcasm) somehow, i don't like it, but it ain't so bad how it seems. there are a few pros with this new system that allow you pk without consequence when you get much positive reputation at high levels.
there's interesting new ways to grief people yet i agree that the pk system is a bit sad. : p now it's very hard to defend your hunting spot and i find that to be a major drawback but we will see how it pans out on high level later. : )
on start it's crappy, but it will get better as you'll be able to spend your repuation to cover negative one, if i got it right, reputation is the new fame and is given from sieges & co, so it's not the end of the world.
reputation is not fame ! there is 3 things with the reputation things to know : - under 31 pk points, if you have positif reputation, you can do 1 pk (you get to 0 reputation) - above 31 pk points, if you have enough reputation you can do pk. (the lost reputation depends on how much pk points you have) - for every 15k xp, you get 1 reputation point back. so killing a 150k xp mob = +10 reputation.
