yeah, make bounty worked up by sinking good ships and killing hero npcs and “fame” (which would be assassination bounty) worked up by killing criminal npcs and sinking evil ships

make it so you rank up in organizations by collecting “Assassin Honor” or “Navy Referrals” which are gained by bounty hunting criminal/hero npcs/players

keep in mind you would only work up bounty if doing something that openly made the other guys target you, similar to WoM (e.g. killing sirens and atlanteans would not give bounty or fame)

other than all of this, for organizations and things revert it to aa reputation
(note: this version of “fame” is only a thing so assassins can keep existing)

if you wanna be good at pvp

  1. (most important) have good pc and internet
  2. abuse the most meta broken builds and stats
  3. use potions when you start losing
27

Use potions regardless

28

Lmao everyone hates noble

29

if you just want to focus on the non pvp aspects i’d try to specifically pick a low playercount server (instead of hitting play on your save, go to servers, sort by players, scroll to the bottom)

30

Yeah, i had this issue before as well. The best you can do is to log off or brew potions (love gel) to disable their attacks temporarily, but that also doesn’t function particularly well.

Had someone else talk about the idea of pvp active and pvp deactive servers once (aka one has pvp active, the other has it deactivated) and that would honestly be quite a good idea- but i am quite sure that wouldn’t get included bc that would “lower the playerrate” (aka the toxic motherfuckers would get mad that they won’t be able to gank anymore. But no, we totally do not aid the pvpers with the updates)

31

it would also make people like me mad that we couldnt kick people spamming shit off our ships by force

32

insanity 5 gel

33

Ways for Vetex to fix it.

Pvp toggle
Make elysium free
Only pvp on certain islands

He is probably not going to do any of these players because it makes him bank.

34

don’t play ao trust me!

35

we’re inching towards this one, castrum has pvp disabled

36

Vetex can’t flipping decide on what he wants this game to be. It’s trying to be an exploration sim, a PVP gankfest, a PVE fighting game, a sailing game, and an achievement hunter all at once.

Vetex my man, some of these are just incompatible with one another. Please take a moment to think about what you actually want AO to be. And stop trying to make it everything at once.

37

In an effort to appeal to all markets, vetex fails to appeal to most people

38

can we just revert renown to aa reputation already

40

41

Because people don’t care if you get spawn-killed by a metamage or not the moment you get to sailors

42

Vetex on his way to implement forced PvP, say it’s not an issue, and then give himself and tech a super op magic to avoid said forced PvP:

44

deepwoken got away with it so can ao :100:

45

Wait what did deepwoken do

46

the devs have super overpowered specs
if i remember correctly ragoozer, one of the devs, goes around ganking in the depths (the place where your character gets wiped if you die) and if he dies he just revives himself
