I think that as long as you will NOT BE able to sell cosmetics (purchased for real money) for in game currency, it will be fine.

If you are able to spend real cash to purchase cosmetics, and then exchange those cosmetics for in game currency, followed by buying best gear from crafters in game. This would create an enormous P2W advantage.

Some people try to claim it's just a "shortcut" to a gear you can obtain just by playing and thus not P2W, but their logic is flawed / they are trying to promote this lie for their own benefit.

Lets say one player spends thousands of (eur / dollars / whatever) RL currency, and exchanges it (over reselling cosmetics) to high amount of in game currency and gears up completely very fast.

Another player starts collecting the gear slowly just by doing in game content.

Let's say now that this second player needs a whole year to gear up to max gear. This means that the first player that used cash, had a WHOLE YEAR OF FREE WINNING in PvP against second player (due to gear difference) just because he used cash.

So that equals to 1 year of P2W purchased with RL cash. Now, one would think, ok but now they are equal? Well, wrong again.

Game eventually gets new content, new levels, new higher level gear pieces. First player repeats what he did, and now he has ANOTHER YEAR OF FREE WINNING in PvP against second player.

So whoever claims that reselling cosmetics for in game currency is not P2W is either:

1. extremely naive
2. is trying to sell obvious lies, due to his own desire to change his own cash into P2W for himself, it this becomes available

In most cases it's number 2.

So whoever you see claims, this is not P2W, those are the guys that want to use P2W, cause in most cases they can't handle the challenge, and seek to play over geared compared to others, as long as they can.

@Finland chaotic evil demon can very well be forever alone, after eating both his friends and enemies.

@Benseine I checked out that spotlight. Looks pretty different than what MMOs usually do. Lets see how it plays out.

@finland said in PK punishment:

@gothix pkers must be punìshed somehow or you will play a game without -- "PvE snowflakes".

Fixed

@finland Thanks for the link. Interesting read.

So basically debuffs and limitations aren't based on an actual kills, but on your alignment combined with an area you are travelling through.

Also if I read right PvP between good aligned beastman and evil aligned demon on a human planet should be balanced, unless guild that is controlling certain area shifts the rules in some direction.

I don't want to see any PK punishment.

However I'd be fine with some zones marked safe, and some other zones having unrestricted PvP.

Basically, as long as there are zones where PvP is not restricted, and those zones offer some rewards for going there (risk vs reward) I'm fine with some other zones being "safe".

Anything that's not P2W.

Cosmetics mainly.

I learned that you just don't know in pre alpha how things will end up.

Just wait till release, see if CS is to your liking or no, and then play or not play. That's what I will do.

Maybe people that try but recruit no one can get forever alone title.

I'm definitely gonna steer away if P2W RNG lootboxes end up in game.

Sure, but then we would also need an ability to name our Bow, Axe, Shield, wand,...

Why would only sword users get this cool ability?

I'd agree that w do not need too many "pain in the ass" mechanics. Game is supposed to be relaxing and fun.

Sprint boost connected to endurance would indeed be interesting to see. Risk vs reward.

Use it a bit, you may get an advantage. Use it too much, You're done.

Hi all!

Hoping for some nice PvP to happen in the future. For now, forum PvP will be fine.
