Problem's solved by swithcing AFK off and let emotes run, so you never get kicked. Easy, huh?

I still think that big uber loot droppers should be automatic pvp zones. people can't camp forever without buffs and back ups. If you need 5 or more people to secure and to rebuff occasionally, It will stop the multi-accouner AFK campers thats is for sure.


I think they should try this idea on a test server for a bit. I love the idea of getting some nice loot after having a fierce pvp battle for it.

That guy was there today beat him and his speed capped RM budy with 5 Speed capped RM.

Nice gun he has. If I recall that went for 70-100m in auction. Was hitting for 3-13.5k

don't worry guys.....combat upgrade will nerf the hell out of spawn camping....in fact it will probably take a group to take on nyax since buffs and armor are getting nerfed as well. Anyway, a better solution would be to limit loot drops off of him (and many other poi's) to once per day....you could kill him as much as you want, but you would only get 1 loot drop per day....then there will be no reason for anyone to camp him or any other POI for that matter. Simple solution that will allow many different people to experience the joy of looting a SEA....or some junk cryoban grenades....hehehe






yeah...and since there will be so few aa/ca drops...the price will skyrocket...good call






first of all, let the price skyrocket if it happens...but I doubt it will since CU will stop 1 profession from soloing Nyax and any high level npc....CU will bring less SEA's in the game also....especially one's that only took one person to obtain....


second, the server shouldn't be flooded with uber attachements as it is now....They should be special compared to the work it takes to obtain them...it's no easy task getting all prepared to get them...even acamper spent hours and millions to get the perfect weapon to be able to camp such POI's...but that should in noway mean they get all the loot while everyone else conceeds all the loot to one or two people....then they sell that loot in auctions for 25 million credits.


third, I meant limit 1 loot drop per person per day....not 1 loot per day for the whole server. So what that would do is make joe blow who is camping the poi for 5 hours go do something else as he knows he got his loot drop for the day.....there's nothing else left for him to get until tomorrow, so why sit there and camp any longer?.....then during this time, someone else can go down and get their loot drop or kill for the challenge and enjoy the POI without campers....it may or may not present a big challeng but at leasteveryone would have the opportunity to experience it the way it's supposed to be experienced....(we are not all the same level of players).


Now the loot drops may be good and they may be bad....but in my opininon it should be like playing the lottery.....you don't win everytime...you win small sometimes and you win big sometimes and hopefully you win extremely big one time....but to camp the spot and hit it big 9 times out of 20 is a little too much for the server especially when it denies others the opportunity to loot some of the stuff simply because one profession can outdamage every other profession......so see, it's more of a balance thing so everyone can enjoy content instead of a handful of players controlling it all.


So you may not want prices to skyrocket....but at least you would have the opportunity to go and get your own....the way it is now, if you can't outdamage a camper that's there, you won't get anything at all and your left having to buy it in auctions for millions as your only choice to getting the really good stuff....

Well an easy to counter this is to have the devs develop a system that as long that there is an AFK player in the building or cave, nothing spawns! That would take care of that particular problem real fast.


Another thing here on Valcyn we often have AFK Jedis camping Lord Nyax, so just give the tip to Bounty Hunter they LOVE nailing afk jedis Whenever i did that he gave me part of the reward and it's fun as hell.


Mind you i have no problems with campin even if it's annoying, i sometimes do it, BUT AFK camping that i do not tolerate.


Just my 2 cents.
