The stat panel on this picture shows 4 stats. Life, Endurance, Stamina and Mana. We know that Life and Endurance are tied to health, and Mana is tied to spells. I assume that Stamina is tied to melee and ranged attacks.

You'll be able to build your own secluded house in the open world if you so desire, I don't see why asteroid housing would be any different. You're not forced to live in guild cities yaknow.

@nelchael said in about flag:

@finland

Aggressive and Thief aren't the same thing.

The Thief flag means you stole from someone, and it forces you to be Evil or Neutral. Nothing more.

Aggressive means you attacked someone, and it's similar to being Evil.

If you steal from someone without attacking them, you're flagged as Thief, not Aggressive. On the other hand, if you attack a Neutral player, you will be flagged as Aggressive.

From what we know, the only way to steal from someone is by attacking them until they are knocked out. The act of attacking a good or neutral player will flag you as aggressive, and stealing or murdering them afterwards will extend that flag. I don't know what would happen if you stole from someone who's already knocked out, but it would only make sense to flag that person aggressive as well to prevent players from cheesing the mechanic.

It's the main theme, probably the music you'll hear at the login screen. It's not the music you'll hear while strolling around on Tartaros.

@nelchael

People can hide things and coins are pretty easy to hide.

In that case it would make more sense if it were tied to perception rather than charisma.

@benseine said in PK punishment:

@finland yes, so they should stick to those save mmo's and not whine so much to turn other/different mmo's into save games too. That is my biggest problem with them.

Turning PvE servers into PvP servers was a dick move. I don't understand why you and so many other PvP players here have such a big issue with PvE players. The same thing is happening here on this forum. The devs are giving the PvE players a planet and all I see is PvP players whining about carebears. The PvE players aren't whining because they wanted to turn Conan Exiles into a PvE game, they are whining because the devs decided just after release to turn the PvE servers into a PvP game.

@finland said in Fishing:

@target absolutly not! That would be just an excuse, a bait to kill people. Territories controll should not rule the alignment and karma. If you controll a city on syndesia and you kill a good player there you must be flagged.

But if a guild makes fishing in their area illegal, doing so anyway would be a hostile act only open to those of neutral or evil alignment.

The devs have never said that gear is going to be purely cosmetic. They do have stats from what I know but a lot of it will be situational. For example, you'll need different types of armor for different environments.

Here's some info from my compilation thread:

Exactly. I keep reading all these posts on gear won't matter, which I find impossible to believe. Might as well fight naked then.

I think this game will have deep synergies across skills, biomes, and gear based on what I've read so far. Everything is described as "situational". Understanding these synergies is what I think will separate the knowledgeable player from the "noob".

Of course, I could be completely full of shit - wouldn't be the first time

I suspect the gear system will be much like Guild Wars. Different pieces of gear will have different bonuses, but they won't be tiered. You might have a platebody with 20 fire resistance and a platebody with 20 cold resistance, but you won't have a platebody with 20 fire res and a platebody with 40 fire res.

@finland said in Hand Holding:

@vengu do you mean to make a game too easy to be accessible for everyone also 4 yo child?

Exactly, like what Blizzard is doing to WoW.

All I hope for is that the devs don't treat me like I'm stupid. I hate how many developers these days dumb their games down to the lowest common denominator.

@nelchael I have answerd it read up.

@nelchael said in World domination or world protector :

They keep getting in your way, and when you try attacking a monster, you hit them by accident

this will not happen good players are protected you can not attack hem. if the one following me is evil will be punished. Talk less I'm the justice and I will bring it on Syndesia and Arboreus so I will be always right.

Anime example: hokuto no ken. the protagonist Kenshiro was killing every mad guy. that was the right justice. I'm that kind of person. eradicate the evil.

You're going in circles. Nelchael is talking about your Demon alt instead of your Human main. What will you do if you misclick and accidently attack or even kill someone on your Demon alt?

@buffybean said in Hand Holding:

they say that any character can do anything, but i really hope that wont necessarily be the case.

They say that but I doubt you'll be effective at everything. If you don't put any points in INT, I doubt that your spells are going to be very useful.

@gothix said in PK punishment:

And as I wrote, I am happy with current design. I am writing against extra "PK punishment" that this thread calls for.

You guys are writing so fast I can hardly keep up.

On the topic of PK punishment:

The punishments on Syndesia pretty much depend on the individual guilds. It's the guilds who set the rules there, not the devs from what I understand. (Apart from the starter town). If a guild decides not to have punishments, it will be as free for all as Tartaros. If they do set guards and whatsnot, their territory becomes a lawful area. Personally I am fine with this, as it gives the guilds of Syndesia a lot of freedom in how they run their guilds. I think the most juicy political stories will come from Syndesia. Much like those crazy stories from EVE Online.

@gothix said in PK punishment:

I prefer playing games with challenge. So the more danger from various sources, means I have to pay attention more, I have to be social, and actually play a MMO, and not carelessly like some farmville game.

I understand that some players want to minimize the difficulty of a game, to reduce the challenge and danger, but hey, we are not all the same I guess.

But you should understand, this is MMO and not a solo game, even if devs promised solo players they will have some content to do in here. They did not however promise them a solo game free of danger.

Arboreus is pretty free of danger. The monsters there don't even execute the players because they aren't evil. Syndesia and Tartaros is where the danger is at.
