Barracudastr Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Your out questing just doin your thing.... you chance upon a player from the other faction.... do you: A. Jump off your speeder and shoot them off theirs B. Keep going and ignore them C. Stop moving go into stealth and hide to prevent Selection A from happening to you. If you chose A. If you won the fight would you then: A. Get back on your speeder and leave B. Go into stealth and camp them and kill them until they dont come back anymore I had a morale conundrum today where I ganked the same person 5 times in a row knowing they were just trying to do their quest in the dune sea. I then ran into another later and ganked him 3 times on mobs lol. I guess you could say I am wondering what others would do in my situation. I should also note everyone I killed was at least 2-5 levels higher then me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUnNamedHero Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I actually intentionally led one to a datacron once. Just because we're opposite factions doesn't mean we can't be friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpenttt Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Attacking people when they're fighting mobs already is a pretty weak move, but whatever makes you happy. I would have led you into my faction's lvl 50 guards and watched them roast you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowcatra Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Ganking is always fun. Plus the two factions are at war. Killing is implied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJediCouncil Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Depends if I feel like PVP or not. Red doesnt always mean dead. I usually only kill in self defense. I'm a sage, so in a 1v1 I will always win unless it's an sorc in which case it comes down to lucky crits to see who wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If current schedule allows I proceed to stealth up and camp for his azz and generally do my best to make him rage log and/or physically go bezerk and break something in RL.

Aiwan Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I guess, you're on a PvP server or the other player was PvP flagged (in the latter: his own fault ). Then, I guess if he doesn't outrank/outlevel me, I'd fire first, ask questions later. But I'd not camp his corpse afterwards but move on. Just ask yourself, what do you want other players to do to you... I most certainly don't want myself to get corpse camped while questing as it becomes frustrating after awhile.

rukks Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 When I was on the PvP server, I would A then A. But out of my characters 34 and 42 on that server I only saw sith... about 20 times. I don't camp people, I think that's lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair he knocked me out of stealth in a room in which I pulled 7 mobs on me after I killed him the first time then I force stealthed dropping aggro to him and then killed him with the mobs on him instead of me.

BronKyja Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 If I get attacked, I'll fight. If I happen across a fight, I'll join in. If they're questing, I leave them alone. Camping is a dick move. Take your kill and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats true I did get corsp camped earlier and just took it out on the others i found lol. 2 lvl 40s killed me in a lvl 26 area and stayed there till I left. I guess the one doing his quest I probably shouldn't have killed repeatedly as the last time he didn't even bother moving or attacking just stood there while I knifed him repeatedly from behind I probably should have stopped and left at that point.

That's just sad. I love PVP, but it's players like you that give it a bad name. Righteous kill? Great, move on about your business. No point ruining someone's gaming time...

Camping is a dick move. Take your kill and move on. I thought the point of a PvP server was to find someone who can't fight back (preferably a few levels lower) and kill them, afterwards hanging around stealthed and camping them until they log off. Since I don't enjoy being on either side of that, I don't play PvP servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I don't enjoy being on either side of that, I don't play PvP servers. Eh, it happens. There were some 50's camping on Tatooine last time I was there taking out us poor level 30's. It got bad enough that I just switched instances...boom, problem solved. Camping and killing has never appealed to me. In my mind, it's kinda like trolling. Yah, it's fun for a little while, but then it gets boring pretty fast, and no one is really happy about the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axien Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I used to have this whole moral code surrounding World PvP. When it was fair and when it wasn't - who you should kill and under what circumstances.... Then I had a realisation. If you want a moral code in PvP join a battleground or do an arena where the rules are set, there's no "first surprise strike" and the matching mechanic is usually intended to be somewhat "fair". IMO you have every right to do what you did. But I would take a moment to examine why you get so much enjoyment out of ruining someone's day. Because that's all it is. Taking someone questing by surprise then camping them as they rez isn't a sign of prowess or skill. And even if it is, I think there's better accolades to be had out there than "I push buttons better than you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merihim Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I would attack, and if i win the fight i will leave him to rot. No fun in destroying his pride for the second time. Also is it me, or are some players not smart on a PVP server? Some gunslinger was 5 lvl's higher(!) then me. He wanted to attack me, but i led him first to some Empiremobs that where friendly to me. I destroyed him there, i mean why would you let yourself be so humiliated? Edited January 16, 2012 by Merihim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timul_Runan Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I usually only fight back in self defense, and win or lose I move on if I can. I like the idea of switching phases to get away from campers, that's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me think of Portal, spend a lot of time on one level until you realize just how easy and obvious the solution is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
