Guild War - Attack on Sight

I might be a little off here... and Isy probably touched on it a little too... but I think the original reason for not wanting the DB was that we use to have Item wear from it? People get into the mindset of... well, my junk gets worn out in PvE, why needlessly do it in PvP? Somewhere along the line... the DB thing being bad just stuck.

That might've been a reason at least.

As for now. I think DB'ing is the right thing to do. We get zero wear and tear on equipment now. The penalty isn't really that bad if we're working on RP anyway. In fact, it could add to it. And, it does clear you from the field of battle.

"Hey, Batty, what just mauled you?" ::Kiva looks at clone sickness::

"I don't know, but it was big and packed a punch. Might've been purple too but it was going too fast for me to catch the license plate number."

I dont mind being DB'ed. It will release me of the temptation from coming to the battle again once i get up.

Cheers.

Looks like we may be reaching a concensus.

Hmmm...well if she's that spun up on Imperial regulations then she would know that as an imperial troop, my authority superceeds that of the backwater MEPD. So no crime was really commited, hence the reason the Stormtroopers in the hologram aren't trying to arrest me. They're just enjoying the show.

Also, the Empire would be intrested to know that a pirate cities mayor is placing Bounties on Imperial troops.

I myself am not supportive of the idea of DB in combat, In my opinion if I am dbed I am killed and a clone is risen. I feel that being incaped is a better solution do to you are still bested in combat. Now if someone continues to get up and attack a DB in my opinion is fine.

A large scale battle is one thing but in clan skirmish between on guy and the next I think an incap then a emote like :kicks head thus knocking them out for a few moments, thus provideing a means to run away or capture.

I decided to add something to the "Attack on Sight" and we'll let the community decide if we should roll with it...

Its called "Personal Recognition". Simply put if you know who a toon is IC, and you know they are your enemy, you should be able to attack on sight.

If I'm in ONE and I see Urael, and I know he's with RD and hence my enemy, I shouldn't need to RP anything. He is my enemy. Yala did this the other night in Noc, she attacked Urael because she knew he was with Shen. I thought that was fine. Urael was only mad cause he didn't know that Shen had killed everyone in Noc, so he thought everything was hunky dory, lol.

If you have to RP out a fight even with a known enemy, then how do you ever ambush or suprise attack? I just thought I'd bring this up and get everyones take on it.

Of course you should be ready to explain OOC how you know said person is an enemy in case they ask, and of course stay away from Shuttleport ganking, cause thats just bad form, haha.

*Sorry if this was already covered, I might have missed it*

I just love the mistake attacks at the shuttle though. You load into a sea of red and click on someone by accident. Then everyone starts running away and yelling "IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!" lol.

I agree with the Recognition idea. The problem that arrose on our end that night was that Xyryn hadn't made it clear to all of us that they just were not to be attacked due to a meeting she'd arranged.

Time crunch happens and once people start things in motion there just is no stopping it.

So far I believe any real problems with this system have been dealt with as fast as possible and in a realatively tactful mannor. We'll still have those absolutely not wanting to deal with the randomness of PvP though. I'm enjoying it so far and I think Shensen has handed me my butt as many times as I have him now.

...my two cents for the day.

/hands E-bo one of Norel's grenades

That one works really well too, Sis.

Well that night in Noc, I said in spatial that the meeting had been arranged and agreed upon by the Kiva, but its hard to keep track in spatial sometimes, I miss a lot trying to keep up, lol. I loved the fact that she attacked him, white flag or not. I thought that was Perfect Rp on her part, because I don't think Yala's character would give a rats ass if the Kiva did tell everyone not to fight. She saw an enemy and she did what needed to be done, I liked it.

Yea, one think I think I should clarify is that you do need a RP reason Why they are your enemy. There is pretty much a blood feud between Light and Dark Jedi so that covers thier reason. I trust peoples judgment so I'm not gonna get all in it. The point is, you should have a Rp reason to attack, but that doesn't mean you have to Rp out that reason everytime you fight.

*Thinks of E-bo's post and remembers when he tried to click on his speeder, and shot someone instead*

I'm fine with that and agree.

Or even if he's not wearing armor but you know he's Imperial. Knowing someone is part of an enemy organization in general should be enough reason to attack. As long as the knowledge of who they are and who they are with was gained IC
