What do you think of them? Any personal experiences?

Dunno it just pisses me off that people have nothing better to do in their lives but to ruin other people's multigame experiences. Their only mission is to go into a multigame and not actually play the game, but just hunt others there and kill them and take all their stuff. Some are really stalkers too, relentless, waiting there for you to return so they can kill you again, for laughs. And most of these PKers have used cheats to up their levels to unbelievably high numbers, so they don't really need your loot, it's all for fun, just to F*&^ you. And of course because they cheated and have all these points and weapons, you have no chance for a fair fight. [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img]

I'm leery of multiplaying. I've done it before with a few games, but always with friends and using a password so nobody can get in. But it is a total different story when you go into an open "public" multigame with all sorts of people there. You can't even get to play the Mod (including IW's NWNs Mod), your battles are mostly with PKers. :(

I posted this in General Discussions because this IS a gaming site, and it is a general subject re multigaming, so I thought it a legit topic here. If I'm wrong Mods accept my apology and just move it to what you think the appropriate forum is for it [img]smile.gif[/img]

One of the top reasons why I never play any game online. The few times I ever had it's usually been a bad experience, with people resorting to whatever cheats or tactics to win, not my idea of fun so I don't get involved with online gaming unless I specifically know the people and it's a closed session.

Faceman 05-31-2003 09:34 PM

They were a bugger on the first Diablo. Most of them had a town-kill cheat where they could use weapons and spells in town too.
As honest players were limited by the program to only use force in the dungeons they were sitting ducks.

Charlie 05-31-2003 09:40 PM

Been there. If I get PK'd on Z's mod again then I'm outta there. People are using weapons far too powerful....an open invitation to PKers. I had it where I couldn't get up. He'd just bolt me back down before I got to my feet. Hurling abuse at my carcass....get up you piece of shit blah blah. I left him there for about 5 minutes and made tea etc...read some posts, went back and he's still there screaming. I just quit then. I go back hours later and my char' has every malady you can think of. Minus about 40 points in all skills and level drained like you can't believe. Tell me a fighter with a normal weapon done that. Yeah, great fun that. Trouble is, this is the kind of stuff you report on. If someone asks me for a mod to try, I'd never recommend Z's because of PKers and super weapons wielded by those who shouldn't have them.

Ziroc, if you read this mate, you've got to restrict weapons and armour. It's an open invitation to PKers. I think you're going to lose people before very long. I'm not too keen to revisit now if I'm honest. (It'd be nice if you could sort out the respawns too. Highly unrealistic having a hoarde of creatures spawn around you.

Micah Foehammer 05-31-2003 09:55 PM

One possible solution might be to ban the PKing offenders. I believe it is possible to ban certain players from the server. If you get PKed again, try to remember the character name and check out the server status to find his player (log-in) name and then report it to Z. You'll be doing ALL of us a favour by helping to get those type of players off the server.

I had one close call when one player switched to hostile on me - fortunately I had JUST partied up and he decided 1 against 2 wasn't the odds he was looking for. LOL

Nanobyte 05-31-2003 10:02 PM

Maybe Ziroc should put these 'offenders' in a pit with Choc. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

<font color=pink>Actually, there are some games where PKing is extremely difficult. I believe on EQ two players have to agree to kill eachother, and the only other way is to train monsters to the person you want to kill. Don't know if thats how it is now, but it was 3 years ago [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Also, on War Craft 3, or probably any of them for that matter, the object is to kill eachother anyway.</font>

Charlie 05-31-2003 10:04 PM

I don't mind people being hostile, trying to murder me even, but let's at least have a fair fight...impossible with the weapons being used. I saw a sword in the game yesterday that was restricted to level 64 char's only. Well seeing as you can only hit Lv 20 then you have no chance if you're fighting fair. The list of enhancements this weapon had was absolutely mental, I'd have took all day to read it. The guy that had it was a real nice guy, very genuine and if he enjoys his game with such weapons then good luck, I have no problem with that. The trouble arises when people don armour that can't be hit alongside swords that don't have to hit to kill. As it stands with these weapons and armour in game, well it's open to abuse by those that get their kicks killing others. Those of us that want to play within the "legal" rule set are being pushed aside because we can't compete should some psychotic pimply fifteen year olds alter ego get the better of him.

Ladyzekke 05-31-2003 10:16 PM

I agree, I think of you go into the Ironworks NWNs mod, and you get PKed, you should report it to Ziroc so he can ban their PK ass. Of course that is just my opinion, Ziroc may want to keep things open and a free-for-all, dunno. But it can't hurt to at least try, report said offender via email to Ziroc.

All I know is I'm steering clear of multigames for now except for with friends in a locked/passworded game. ;)

What possible fun is it to go in to a mod with items like you described? If nothing can hurt you and you can kill at a whim, where is the challenge? :(

Personally, I would rather switch the game to enforce item level restrictions and no PvP if that would get rid of the PKers. I usually avoid PvP servers like the plague simply to minimize any chance of running into PKers, but I love what Z has done with Undermountain.

There is no real Challenge Micah, they just get laughs that they messed somebody else's game up, that's it far as I can see. There are even websites on the net where PKs gather and brag about their "conquests." It's messed up. :(

Micah Foehammer 05-31-2003 10:40 PM

It's sad, LadyZ. I can't believe they have their own websites to brag about that sort of stuff ... lol ... that is pathetic. "Oh, look how bad I am .... I wiped the floor with those low level characters ... "

If you ever feel the need to join a game on a weekend let me know. [img]smile.gif[/img] No PvP is tolerated except in jest. [img]smile.gif[/img]

As it should be...or perhaps if you role play a Drow type char openly hostile to other races then PvP in that sense is acceptable. But by and large PvP is a bad thing, especially bad if no restrictions are placed on weapons.

Micah Foehammer 05-31-2003 10:55 PM

Even a drow should at least be given the chance to show his true colors. [img]smile.gif[/img] Some authors of fantasy fiction would have you believe that not all drow are evil. lol

TheCrimsomBlade 05-31-2003 11:56 PM

Earler today I was surfing around the on line RPG forums going from one to another when I came across one (I wish I had ear marked it) and these two guys were talking about what they were doing to the PKers by fighting fire with fire.
They each had made their own super Character one was a super high level Fighter/Thief and the other was a Super high level Battle Mage they each played different games and were discribing how they would go into a game and go to a known area where these PKers were known to be Hacking legal players. The guy that has the Fighter/Thief said that he finally got the a-hole that f'd up his game, first he would rush in with boots of speed that he made and pick pocket this so called Black Paladin and take his weapon and armor and the guy didn't know what was happening his Black Paladin was being slashed to bits and robbed blind and then the paladin started running to try to escape but it was to late his super Fighter/Thief was too powerful for the PKers paladin and he killed him and stole all his weapons. He said that the PKer was cussing and and calling him all sorts of things and all he would say back to him was payback was a mother-F#$@^& and how did he like it and that if he or any others came back with their overpowered Cheat made Player Characters they would meet the same fate.
It seams that these guys were part of the staff writers that made the games and would be hunting these PKers down and wipe them out one way or another,the guy with the Battle /Mage had a similar story.
I don't own or play any online games that can't be played on my own computer as a single player game, and this was the first I ever heard the name PKer. I think one of these guys works for Black Isle or Bio-ware from some of the things he said but I can't be sure. They said that they were going to do some thing to the PKer's that are messing with NWN sites like Blizzard did to the cheaters and power game hackers on the Diablo Games.

In NWN, I would fire up the DM client for any blatant PKers, especially if it's against house rules. Sure banning them is the permanent final solution, but its a great opportunity for a DM to "play" a little first ;) ...No cheater in NWN can defeat the DM.
It would sure spoiler their fun after killing a helpless lowly PC to face few dragons, demons, and 20th level uber-NPC's. Sure its stooping to their level but they probably deserve it. ;)

The DM client is one advantage NWN has over other multi-player games in controlling fun-killers.
Plus a DMed game is much fun. Nothing like actualling having to persuade the grouping of pixels on the computer screen, rather than picking a from a few limited choices. Also the combat is way more fun, if the DM is good. Monsters retreat, spell casters act intelligent, situations can adapt very fluidly. I actually had to keep notes. I used NWN connections to find a DM moderated game. GReat site! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

WHAT!? How are they PKing in my Mod?? Do you remember the user name? I'll ban it. Yeah, I've noticed that nearly all the people joining have +30 weapons and cannot be touched even.. So I'll turn on the weapon restrictions right NOW.

Grrr.. I HATE PK'ers too. lil ass mongers. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Memnoch 06-01-2003 04:44 AM

It's a sad day when you have to adjust your MP game to deal with PKers. I had a lot of problems with PKers when I started to play NWN last year - the Gamespy servers are rife with them. It's one thing if someone is roleplaying an evil character or if you are playing in a melee server where you are fully aware that PvP exists - if you are slain in the course of roleplay then that's fair enough I believe. But it's a different thing entirely if they just come up to you with uberweapons and PK you because they want to be a l33t p33Kay d00d, which means all they want to do is ruin other people's games. This is the worst kind of PKer. Unfortunately there's no way to avoid this without stooping to the PKer's level and ubering your character as well so they get a nasty shock when they attack you.

The good thing is that most persistent worlds now have controls in place and diligent DMs to minimize the participation of these morons. At the end of the day everyone just needs to find their place - the PKers can all play on PvP servers and kick the sh!t out of each other and be happy, while others who want to enjoy a game without having to worry about being jumped should be able to do that and be happy. It's when the two meet that unhappiness occurs - because those PKers who prey on others specifically to ruin their gaming experiences aren't PKers at all, they're griefers. And those types are only worthy of the LOWEST contempt. :rolleyes:

Cristian 06-01-2003 04:58 AM

they are just sad ppl with no life....i experienced it alot! but! i met alot of them but lol i killed em all [img]smile.gif[/img] so did Lovisa [img]smile.gif[/img] but if it were a cheater i didnt stand a chance but pkers got to watch out for me an lovisa on diablo [img]smile.gif[/img] we OWN [img]smile.gif[/img] ( and we dont cheat)

Kaltia 06-01-2003 06:55 AM

I was fed up of being control Y'd on BG2 multi-player, so I gave my character uber items, resistances, HP, THAC0, AC and saving throws as well as the item "Imoen's belt" which makes you pretty much unkillable. Then I went and ^"*&^ the PK'rs up. Diablo II is always funny for a PK'r; people have tried to kill my mother plenty of times before and because she's questing, she's in gear that wouldn't be allowed in an official duelling match. Such as an item that pierces defense or offers double damage or does insane amounts of damage; rare to find but effective.

</font>[/QUOTE]I checked out the website and ran across this little gem of a custom item.

The Torch of Protection (A TORCH for pity's sake!)

Damage immunity - 100% versus bludgeoning/piercing/slashing
Spell Immunity - Immune to all spells 9th level or lower
Damage Resistance - 30/- to all elemental forms of damage including sonic
Immunity to Knockdown / Critical Hits / Death Magic / Mind Altering Spells

and it even provides Light (bright) as well!!! LOL

The claim is that this item fits within the level 20 restriction (which I seriously doubt unless you morph the property costs).

Now is THAT taking things to an extreme or what????

Offer is open anytime LadyZ. [img]smile.gif[/img] We usually play on weekends and the group is all US based. The host server is located in Maryland. [img]smile.gif[/img]

lethoso 06-01-2003 08:50 AM

ugh, pkers & cheats shit me. still, it almost makes up for the annoyance they are when you kill a cheater without cheating yourself. I just laugh and laugh and laugh at them, makes me feel better anyway....

myg0t have to be some of the most annoying pricks ever.....

HolyWarrior 06-02-2003 02:30 AM

MMORPGs are just a crutch for programmers who can't program decent AI.
Don't want multiplayer, don't need multiplayer.

*\Conan/* 06-02-2003 01:36 PM

Pkers suck Lady Z. In my early stages of NWN muti, the only multigame I have ever been sucessful at playing, I met up with some constantly. Within seconds of logging onto a mod set up for this, you will be dis-armed, knocked down, and or killed. Often times in one blow. Very frustrating for a multiplaying newbie and confusing as to what or how to act in someones mod.

The DM or DM's in these case's haven't got the point that it's puzzles, scripts, Monsters, terrain, and mod class that is what counts. Although in a team mod when red team vs. blue team are trying to get gold piece's or whatever to score points for the team your on seems to be fun. Everyone starts with equal footing and also has many choices of characters pregenerated especially for this mod. Strategic pking can be fun. You just re-spawn back to a starting point to either change characters or stay with the one you initally started with to go for the gold again.

This is the only types of mods pking should go on in my humble opinion.</p> As far as equipment goes I have also seen level 65 type weapons scattered around in the floors of entrances to mods. Who can use these things without haking them to work somehow? Even the Mosters you can create legally are 40th level maximum. Bad sign for the mod to say the least.

All the characters I have created are legit with me just placing the points and feats accordingly. Bumping these up makes no sense whatsoever to myself and would give me a guilty feeling about playing so I don't. I don't want to play multigames with those who do this or sensely kill Npcs, or players.</p> I also played and loved Undermountain a few hours this weekend. I started as a 3rd level character and was killed not to far into the game. Everyone was on the 6th level and I was trying to make it there. I came back with a 10th level warrior, with a few items to help, met my demise in the form of Fire Giants (LoL!). Then, really wanting to make it past level 2 for once I brought in my Barbarian. Hooked up with a couple great warriors and was untouched for the most part of the mod. To powerful and we were unfettered in our desent. Obviously the scales Ziroc used were not meant for this in the long run. It's about a party of adventurers teaming together, level 7-12 is my best guess. (Great mod Z!)</p> Alot of my characters are created for mods that I have made in the past and yes I did go through a equipment phase :rolleyes: I need to go back and clean house a bit and bring them back to mod reality a bit when playing other mods. But if you have played a mod I have created you know the encounters and monsters rip you apart without specialty items.
Don't want to take up anymore time on pkers they aren't worth it.

Ronn_Bman 06-02-2003 01:52 PM

Player killers are vermin of the worst sort. Incompetent losers who can't enjoy playing a game with people, so they get their kicks by ruining the experience for others. They are the worst.

robertthebard 06-02-2003 08:03 PM

I haven't run into any of them yet, but...I do have a solution, which has already been made, sort of...I'll just create my own uber weapon, and armor, and not fight anything but PKers. That should really get their attention, along with reporting them...

Charlie 06-02-2003 08:07 PM

Thing is Rob, that's not how you like to play your game. They'll build a better one and the cycle continues. You'd be adjusting your game to suit their needs, it's what they thrive on. They are vermin, best reported I guess and avoided. Tossers...

Timber Loftis 06-02-2003 08:21 PM

This thread may just as well be titled "Why Timber doesn't play MP." The same as the days of the old text MUDDs. Will always be that way.

Ziroc, nice reaction man. I like your attitude. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

For more info on the pitfalls of online gaming, including the problems in balancing game interests and the real world hyper-interests (e.g. my PC will of course befriend my wife's PC) see the EverQuest/Soprano thread.

Bardan the Slayer 06-02-2003 09:59 PM

The best solution, sadly, is to only MP with poeple you know, or on servers that are exceptionally strict about that type of thing, with a constant level of DM vigilance.

It cuts down your options by a whole chunk, but the time you have playing is better. I think, anyway.

That being said, although I agree that PKers are scum, i have met many people carrying uber gear who are not interested in PKing, and are actually extremely nice people. Some are hyper-protected against PKers, others just like exploring without having to worry about dying or spending 20 minutes fighting monsters (!)they could just blitz in 20 seconds ;) . Others just love 'being' super powerful, and using their powers on the monsters. All PKers carry uber gear, but not all uber-gear carriers are PKers.

/)eathKiller 06-02-2003 10:04 PM

ugh! On PSO we had worse than just PKers,

here's a list:

Vkers -

These guys ruined your CD rom permanently and reverted your characters back to version 1, so even if you did Re-purchase the disk (No refunding was available) your items would all be gone and you'd be reset to level 100 (Which is a LONG way away from 200)

Ckers -

These guys out-right made your characters HP a permanent negative 5 or 15 so you could never play with them again as you'd constantnly fall over and die, even in the chat lobbies, and it's not posisble to access one's inventory when they're dead so you'd have to lose all your items too...

PORKERS-

These guys found out how to BLOW THE PORTS on your controllers so you'd have to buy a new dreamcast, new modem, and new keyboard, UNFROTUNETLY sega also decided to add the hitch of your only being able to play your PSO characters on ONE MACHINE EVER so you had to re-purchase the game and start your characters over again too...

PKERS-

Classic, they could kill you anyhow, anywhere, be of any class and strike without warning, all they had to do was cast HEAL and without any chance you'd be dead and your items and all your money would drop right beside your little courpse which they could easily rob...

ACKERs-

These guys basically didn't do anything to your character but they did find out that sega actually EXPOSES your CREDIT CARD number every time you log in and hence they charge up all they want on it with your number and account information which they can easily access with a little good timing, and the slower your connection they more easily they could get the information!

MKers -

They just made your modem stop working and forced you to buy a new one.

NOLers -

The worst of the worst, this code turned whatever level character you were into a level 5 huntress named NOL, your stats, inventory, appearance, and name would all be reverted to that of the NPC named NOL and you'd either get banned by sega for this (yes that's right, you could be set up to be BANNED by hackers without them getting in any trouble) or your game would force itself to save (So either be banned or be NOL) and the code was SO easy to excecute my freind and I did it when he brought over his gameshark by complete accident! (just type in FFFFFFF for a line! WHAT THE HECK WAS SEGA THINKING! allowing players to ALTER other players to change them into NPCs! with a line of all 16s in hex!) Though most people were turned into NOL others were turned into other NPCs, including SONIC, KNUCKLES, and TAILS, all of which resulted in an unquestionable ban, and calling sega was of no help.

All of these codes could easily be innitated and they could happen without any player pressing a button, traps could be layed in game rooms with appealing names that would last for up to 20 minutes without players in them, and people would join empty but appealing rooms like hotcakes and one by one they'd each have the horrifying effect take place on their dreamcast...I myself was a victim of having my ports blown, I was NOLed 8 consecutive times, PKed about 10,000 times, and CKed once (Fortunetly I managed to survive by puttin on an HP boost + 20)


Do these types of things still work in the new PSO?

yes...

EXCEPT FOR PKING... which is no longer possible, and you don't drop your stuff when you die any more... kudos... Unfortunelty there still is everything else above... - _ -

Memnoch 06-03-2003 08:45 AM

Here's the PKer's Credo (I pulled it off one of their clan websites). It's quite funny how seriously they take themselves. ... :D

http://www.kiwirugby.net/forum/images/smiles/hah.gif

In France during Middle Age, Paris was once nicknamed: "the city of lights". Not for its fame or cultural image but because at dusk, its inhabitants put candles at their windows. Wayfarers could see them shining in the distance when they came to the town. Candles at all windows, what a smart and refined idea it was! However, the reason that motivated people to light their streets had nothing to do with esthetics. Indeed, in these rough times, going out at night meant turning into an easy prey for thieves. Thieves hid in the darkness, waiting for victims, to knock and loot. Therefore, for Paris citizens, candles' light was a way to prevent bandits from hiding in the dark.

All along times, everywhere in the world, bandits have always attacked honest people. Bandits were (and are) at every level of the hierarchy, from clumsy and low thieves to the mob Godfathers. The need of "possession" is part of human nature and people use people to serve their own interests.

In nowadays-virtual communities, such as Ultima Online or Meridian 59, it' s funny to note that you will also find those brutal and bloodthirsty outlaws, ready to mistreat honest players and eager to steal their goods. Is it a surprise? In a game where competition and stats ?hierarchy rule, this behavior is legitimate. A feeling of guilt does not stop a bandit player. He uses ANY trick to reach his goal, whether it is cheating, theft or murder. We happily welcome this kind of player on our site. Nothing will stop him. Whatever are the measures taken against these evil creatures (PK switch and other crap), they will always find a way to break some rules, and piss everybody off. This site is based upon this selfish "philosophy". We do not mean that genuine evil role players are unwelcome. We just think that a virtual community must involve your real personality; rather than making up a nice character according to the rules, a real player killer plays one role only: his own, whatever it will lead him into.

The [insert name here] team is made of player-killers. Yes, we do cheat. We kill, we steal, we build our fortune, we make people crazy, and we do our best to spread chaos and ill feeling. And guess what we get from all that? The greatest pleasure and satisfaction of all our players' careers.

Umm. Excuse me. I don't PK and I go into NWN to play on line (and have my butt usually handed to me), but I don't think I've ever been able to figure out how to play here. I mean I Post here, but darned if I can't figure out how to pay here. What does one do to do this? What options do I need to I select in NWN? What link should I visit? How do I play here in the mod you guys are talking about?

(If you think the step-by-step will bore people, by all means email me. Please?)

andrewas 06-03-2003 03:22 PM

Click the button at the top of the page to get the details of IWs own NWN server. The info you need is the IP address.

Load up NWN, hit multiplayer, create an account, wait for it to connect to gamespy, hit direct connect at the bottom, and enter the IP. In theory you can search the list of servers for NWN, but Ive never seen it appear.

At the moment the server is down though.

If you ever feel the need to join a game on a weekend let me know. [img]smile.gif[/img] No PvP is tolerated except in jest. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yah, I know, sort stupid to take a character that souped up and feel 'cool' for trouncing one half your level with few weapons that can even hit you...so what exactly is your skill? Hacking a character up to obscene levels...ooh...ooh..that's so amazing....NOT!

Well, Neverwinter Nights allows for plenty of Vault Servers. Which do not allow people to bring in their level 40 uber chars. They usually provide a better roleplaying experience as well [img]smile.gif[/img]

All this acctually happened to me when i first started playing Diablo 2. I got really pissed cos the guy kept on killing me as i went throo into the unknown.
Well a few months later i had lvled up heaps and decided to help ne newbie players who r a bit stuck in the game and i found one saying "Please Help Me". So i went in and to my surprise it was that guy a few months back that was killing me. He was in that game too and was killin a realatively low lvled character. I was on a higher lvl than him so i decided to start killing him and he was like "Ahh piss off MATE, im just helping him". He didnt even remember who i was so i reminded him. He was sayin he was srry but that just didnt cut it.
"HOW DOES IT FELL HEY?!" i sed. The he just left.
i gave back back that other players loot that had got stolen. and left the game.

I havnt played Diablo 2 ever since. I usually play games like the Warcraft series and Starcraft.

I do really hope that, that PKer learnt his lesson!!!!
