It should cost 1 credits because my 71% UBESE Kinetic already decay in 2 days and I haven't even DIED ONCE!


Do you realize how fast 80% Composite decay even without death?

I suspect TH knows it's ridiculous and is just asking what some crack-addled dev told him to ask.


TH, as our representative, could you steal that dev's crack pipe and hide it somewhere very safe?

I am jumping on the "free with overt status" bandwagon. Heck, if that were the case, I would be tempted to stay overt all the time (continually getting free passes) just to avoid thatabsurd decay. As it is now, I will never go overt and pvp again because this game only penalizes you.






While you guys are at it, please add "god mode" so that we don't get penalized with wounds just because we want to fight.


Sorry for being crass, and this isn't necessarily directed at you, bamagrad99, but really... everyone keeps complaining about the 1% decay but the fact is no matter WHAT they put in place as a "death sting" we're not going to like it. That's the POINT.




Checking your spelling (and punctuation, too) will ensure that you're making sense to more than two people.

hmm, but how would you tell between faction related (pvp death) vs pve death? This 'pass' would do away with all decay as SWG cant tell the difference between the two.

Anything higher than 50 is rediculous seeing that if you insure something it shouldn't decay at all, but it seems as if youve closed your ears to that arguement.

The cost should be dependant on rank.


At the end of your "Day pass".You should be returned the cost of the day pass + additional/deducted points depending on how many opposing faction membersyou kill.

Doesn't matter what the cost is. You'll have people with an all day pass to revert back to the old days of "Clone at nearest..." attack, die, "Clone at nearest..." attack, die, "Clone at nearest..." attack...




No, because they'll need to pay for insurance each time anyway.


Of course, the current way to do the "zerg" style attackis to put all your crud in the bank and fight naked.

I want to compare insurance to the recent "contraband" posts. The devs stated over and over again that they won't take items from players as that's "not fun". Well what do you think decay is? Decay = taking items from players. Skill tapes that are dropped onto clothing and armor are a one way ticket. What am I supposed to do if that clothing decays to nothing? Most of my deaths aren't my fault; they're lag or (LD) related anyways. I hate seeing my hard-earned possestions wither away to nothing.





Yes, and let me get master pikeman instantly, because getting there is not fun. Oh, and give me a million or so credits. Because it's no fun being poor.


How about something like 10% of your planned loss in FP from PvP DB's? Like 5 fp would cover 1 DB, 9 2 DBs, etc.Once youdie more times than youpaid for, item decay sets in. Or is this not possible codewise?

250 for overts. Keep 1% decay on covert. Why cause TEF is a problem and these people should be lured until overt somehow. Not that it will help all that much.
