PK in a random encounter??

- the LOS is so reduced that I couldnt even see he was there before seeing my character gettin torn apart.
- no warning message like "A stranger is in the area" or something. It's not gamebreaking, it will just give less the sensation of an asshole popping out of nowhere in your back.

LOS:
Based on direction you are facing and Perception.
What is your PE score?

"Stranger in the area":
The warning would imply magic, or telepathy.

Yes, PKs are very annoying.

Also:
Guards in encounters don't have same AI as guards in towns.

If attacked in a town and guards do nothing, they may have Idolized status or you blocked a door or failed a steal.

Maybe there is some other bug/sploit involved.

jonny rust:
my only advice to you is this:

Since the waste is fairly unpredictable (especially when hunting near southern towns) it's best not to keep anything you don't want to lose on your person unless absolutely necessary.

Since you don't yet have a tent (or maybe you do by this stage) you will need to find hiding spots. 

Yes, it sounds risky but it doesn't need to be. Hiding can be an art.

The bet way to hide things is to find an object, such as a table, which can NOT BE SEEN THROUGH. Drop your things behind it. There will be no way to see or click on these things now and the only way to retrieve them will be to stand on the same spot and hit the G key (the hot key for picking things up). The only way someone will be able to find your things is to know they are there which means you told them or they saw you hide them (be careful of that) or they are randomly checking behind objects for things they can not see which is unlikely. I have hidden things in shops for as long as a week and have had them waiting for me at the end. Think of it as hiding in plain sight... or not.

So when you start to accumulate hides store them in secret stash spots, perhaps even across a few spots (eggs in different baskets) until you get all 10.

My other suggestion would be to sell sell sell and bank the caps instead except that last time I played the economy was shit and your probably better off stashing your caps as well.

hope that helps and good luck

This thread has been getting an awfully high amount of attention

Anyhow, Pkers make the game more interesting, but reading the thread of the game and seeing how you called someone a PK in spite you being new makes me think youre not as new as you show yourself to be

Back to the thread. Pkers do make the game more interesting, however Assholes that randomly kill on low level areas are one of the more frustrating game mechanics I have ever seen on my life. IT sucks this game is a troll game for trolls, and you are on the exact part of the learning curve to get owned mercilessly by it.

I only wish you luck getting farther into the game, but I wont blame you if you decide to quit.
