    Default Soooo... about those kills.

    Hey everyone, my name is Hurs, and today I am going to bring up an issue that has been bugging me for a while... the kill count. As of now, your K/D ratio is there to boost the good ol' e-peen, but I think that that could change.

    My suggestion is to cause the amount of kills you have (up to a certain point) to possibly reduce prices of items in the store (i.e potions) or to give the player some sort of benefit. Now, I know that many of you are probably going to reply to this saying "That is silly! Everyone will just farm Forest Haven!!" Well, I am also proposing that kills are only added to your total kill count if the monsters that the player is killing are within a certain level range (3-5 levels). This would prevent people from farming Forest Haven and getting tons o' kills while also providing a fair playing field for all players.

    Well... that's about it ^_^

    Well not only that but, right now I hardly notice a difference farming forest haven as comapred to the higher level dungeons (speedwise). The only difference is that farming forest haven nets me a LOT more gold and pots.

    I really don't think kills should have a benefit. The stuff in the store is already cheap and alot of people would get pissed off at not being able to get kills in lower levels. *cough*Loso*cough*

    But I do! I hardly notice a difference, maybe an extra hit or two for the harder monsters.


    Anyways, if you have more kills you should have more money so theoretically stuff in the shop should be easier to obtain.

    Well, ya gotta admit, I clearly don't do as much damage as an archer, even with rage.

    I normally use the dagger so I have never really felt super uber crazy strong.

    I was tempted to switch to a dex build so i could use a snipers battle crossbow, then I realized it'd probably just be a waste since 1.1 and the new expansions are probably coming out soon. So i'mma just farm forest haven till then.

    That is silly! Everyone will just farm Forest Haven!!

    ahem

    I dont think its fair because different jobs have different roles. And archers tend to have the most kills.

    Kills should just be a stat, nothing more, else people start being greedy. (like, waiting for someone else to use an aoe, before using theiir own aoe to finsh, or saving blast shot for final hits, etc)

    And yes, healers and tanks are not good killers.

    I think this would be a pretty sweet idea but i dont think its needed. Everything is already cheap as hell in this game. The only way this would actually be valuable is if they increase the price of items ALOT or make gold more scarce.

    Considering those who play a lot are using up more bandwidth on the servers (which costs Spacetime money), it should be more expensive the more kills you have, not cheaper.

    Using that logic, we should make the gold prices more expensive for people who do not purchase map packs.... no?
