From my discussion with other players it seems that I'm not the only person that is getting frustrated with "player X has been killed recently and worth reduced realm points"

Now I don't have a problem with reduced RPs for someone who has been killed recently if they can't fight back etc or they're at a huge disadvantage. (I also know it helps prevent RP farming... fine)

My problem lies here:

Player X is killed - Player X cures res sick with bot - Player X runs straight back out to RVR within less than 2 minutes.

This player will then be able to give as good a fight as if he wasn't res sick and will most likely make you blow alot of timers to kill him.

I'm sure enough of you can see and have experienced this frustration no doubt.

Suggested Fixes?

To be honest, you only need one.

Make Res Sick mean something!

It should hinder a players HP/Melee Dmg/Defence or something. It's a penalty for dying... therefore make it a penalty! The only people suffering from the penalty at the moment are the ones attacking them!

Currently the only downside of being res sick is moving a bit slower and it reduces your timers... What a major problem that is for people

If you Cure Res Sick - The player should be fully worth again. I can see the issues with RP farming here so I suggest putting Cure Res Sick on a 10 minute re-use timer to counter.

One of the main reasons I enjoyed the classic server was no cure res sick bots. People would have to wait out the timer in order to put their buffs up etc in order to be viable in RVR.

If the res sick person manages to kill someone, he also gets reduced realm points.. so it's not just speed/dmg penalty.. just wanted to add it to the list =D

I've cured res sick on myself and killed people within a few minutes and got full RPs... you sure ?

No, not sure when you cure it, but I know its like that if you still have the res sickness

It was more like a comment for when you wrote this:

It's a penalty for dying... therefore make it a penalty! The only people suffering from the penalty at the moment are the ones attacking them!

Ah ok

I see your point

but ye.. if you can kill people having cured the penalty and get full RPs, then the person you are fighting should get full RPs if you happen to lose~

Mainly my grievance is with the idea that the person can fight me at full capability for me to get little to no reward at the end of the fight~

Agree


Frustrating, especially when you use timers only to find they were not worth anything.


It should be a simple; if they're rezsick they are not worth RPs (which is what it was/should be anyway, but Cure Res changed this..)


If they are fully capable, they should be worth full RPs
