Scrap PvP Stealing

(1/34) > >>

Badger:
Just wanted to get this off my chest. It just doesn't work. I vote we just scrap it. I know how easily avoided it is, I just think it's stupid that I have to run around a shop while a guy in his underwear chases and repairs me. It detracts from the game. I appreciate that this is a dangerous post-apocalyptic wasteland, and that's fine. But I think full loot does that job well enough.

Here's a brief summary of everything that doesn't work about it:

No risk. Thieves are in their Vault PJs, but they can steal your assault rifle.

Know he's a thief? Tough shit. You can't do anything until the guards spot him, even if you know he's about to/already has robbed you.

Thief Alt! The associated reputation drops mean that you create a character specifically for thievery. Then you either use it to supply your main or you just use it to irritate the fuck out of people.

LOL I TROL U It irritates the hell out of players, new and old alike.

Please feel free to comment/argue against/make sweet love to one another.

Surf:
Well, what to say, agreed on all points there. Will still most likely never change. :(

cannotspace:
I have a thief charand even I agree with this lol

I think there just needs to be some repercussions, they steal, if they're caught, no loss for neither of the players, if they're caught but still get something, after being killed there's an high chance a guard or someone else loots him, if he isn't caught, he gets free stuff.

Problem here is that there's no loss at all for the thief.

Eternauta:
I agree with Badger, I think his arguments are all valid.

Kilgore:
Well, it would be boring if all agreed on it, so:

Thief Alt! - People make crafter alts, taxi alts... so what? Are you going to suggest disabling outdoorsman/repair/science next time? Alts are typical for 2238 and to play it, you need more than one character. Of course, you can play one character, but hey! You could also play some stupid build, and what comes out of it? Inability to make anything.
Know he's a thief? Tough shit. - It can be fixed easily. Some ways to fix it were already mentioned in other suggestions.
LOL I TROL U - This is not only about steal, there are lots of things used to "troll" not involving stealing. Not valid argument, in my opinion.
No risk. - Unfortunately, that's true and I don't think that anything beyond reputation drop or changing respawn system can be done here.

Thieves are a part of this game, as well as so-called PKs or suicide bombers. Okay, they are annoying, then what? This is not Kitty Online. What are you going to suggest after this one? Disabling PvP combat?

All of the issues above can be fixed somehow, so don't need to scrap steal.. just need to rework it a bit.
