This system really prevents from doing anything such as sea activities and not only that its really easy to get.
Usually whenever I spawn in the first thing that happens is that 1 - 3 major ships actually spawn near me at they get off their boats and start attacking. They only way for me to actually stop their rampage against me is if I kill them but that won’t work as another major fleet comes in. If I wanted to remove my notoriety I’d need to pay up to 1,200 galleons then I can start killing people or NPCs again only to re-gain that notoriety. Yes I know you can arrest yourself but ya’know, bounty safe keeping.
I was at Ravenna tryna bounty hunt people and I hear the sounds of fortified ships actually circling me in ketches and they just get off and start attacking me while I try to mind my own business. Dawg how do they know I am at ravenna chilling their with a cloak on to hide my identity
Anybody else get annoyed by the fleet of grand navy coming after you always?
I can’t have shit in AO
Im too poor to pay up while I’m busy
Is it just me or are people only complaining about the prison timer now? Or is that a direct consequence of how aggressive the gravy are and notoriety + good reps in general?
Counterpoint: You’re gonna lose most of these galleons dying again and again to level 150+ gravy majors. Not to mention
You gotta go and find the NPC to clear notoriety to begin with
It ain’t goddamn cheap
You gotta ship that cargo with the gravy hot on your ass
There are plenty of ships that you can kill already without having to smoke merchants and gravy
Even with your notoriety cleared the gravy that have already spawned will still go after you if you’re neg-rep
I find the whole thing about arrests to be really cool on paper, but in practice, being negative rep is basically just playing the game with a ginormous handicap. There’s a reason why most servers have 2 villains for every 10 heroes playing
In WoM, the only times that Magic Council would chase you and spawn soldiers is if you just recently went berserk on a town or silent tower, which was completely optional. It made going to prison feel at least somewhat justified. However, in AO, you gotta pay an absurd amount of galleons to clear your notoriety, otherwise the grand navy will chase you and track you down no matter where you are. Munera Garden? They still send 4 heavy ketches at you. Not only that, as now players can also bounty hunt you and arrest you themselves, which basically means a 10-minute respawn time just from PvP.
