Shattered Kingdoms

Don't forget with constant MI up.

I'm almost 100% sure you hear "Someone died near here." through closed doors. So, you'd know when a bounty NPC died outside the inn. And considering they tend to spawn in groups of 3, and that you should always be behind at least 1 pet, there is a guaranteed spawn inside the inn, and that you should not be AFKing in an Inn...

Yes, you really shouldn't be dying in an inn, unless you wanted to fight there. Or you get hit with a backstab or something.

Cities are plenty safe. Someone(s) is(are) welcome to come to the Moot and prove me wrong.

If you had sanc and rolled up on someone enchanting, brewing or scribing in an inn (the only reason to be there), they'd be screwed whether you were outlawed to kingdom come or not. If there is a swashie on your team, you're screwed regardless of whatever you were doing, unless whatever you were doing involved waiting with a huge gank-squad that was all constantly hyper-alert.

So yeah, making inns the laughable piece of uselessness they are in defense basically means that people who aren't good at PK have absolutely no reason to rest there unless they feel like offering up every bit of their EQ to whatever enemy of theirs wants it. At least before the change you could sit past at least one room of spawning NPCs and have a little buffer space, and now you do not have that even in the slightest.

If you disagree you are clearly playing a back-row class that doesn't have anyone active that is able to kill them.

You can certainly avoid getting ganked at an inn, that much is true. It still doesn't mean cities are plenty safe.

Your argument of safety boils down to a warning of imminent danger, which may even come too late. I'm curious whether you'd want the police department in your local area to warn you of a murderous gang coming your way so you can run, or to actually try their best to stop them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to use a real life example for SK, they don't apply to many of SK's aspect, but your entire premise is based on the fact that you're warned of danger so you can run away - I wouldn't consider that safety, be it relative or plentiful.

These are main cities of large kingdoms, and I'm assuming they have some sort of army or a guard dedicated to the safety and peacekeeping of each kingdom. How can the entire kingdom's military force be bested by a PC with a guard NPC?

Not to mention the fact that min did bring up some good points about player interaction and such.

Edit: I am curious, how exactly would someone prove you wrong? By catching you off-guard? They can gate to your inn. By ganking you in your city? That is a difficult feat to accomplish for various reasons unless you completely [REDACTED] up. I am forced to repeat myself and say that not everyone thinks or behaves like you, nor are they as competent as you. I doubt a third-row shaman, with sanc, MI is going to get killed on their own turf, especially by someone who is outlawed.

That log is obviously some sort of retardapalooza festival. Holy [REDACTED].

Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail.

I don't understand the relevance. None of those people should have died.

That had nothing to do with it not being safe, I just ran past guards with sanct. Could still do that with no gate targets, maybe not in sith'a'niel, but the rest of the cities.

Also, read the title. It explains it all, they really shouldnt have died but they did because they were dumbasses and pretty much suicided on the guard.

Razzle should've died too.

Gravamar seems to die to anything, that guy truely believe he is a tank and can't be killed cause of the faction he is in. Chaste guy I've no clue why he wanted to get into the fury, think at this time he wasn't even a Master yet.

How did it not having anything to do with cities being safe WHEN YOUR OUTLAWED PRIEST STROLLED INTO THE INN WITHOUT ANYONE STOPPING HIM OR WARNING PEOPLE OF AN IMMINENT THREAT? Do I need to draw you a picture? Geez.

The fact that they were noobs and died afterwards doesn't matter at all.

It's already hard enough to get certain losers to PK without it being 6vs2.

You guys all suck and need to HTFU.
