    Ok, well don't lawyer them bro if that's no longer the case.

    And, we have a larger problem than that even if it is the case.

    What's the point of being in SPO mode in a shardfall? If you say it's to explore, then why does there need to be drops of any kind? There doesn't. But the real reason is to give players an easy way to grind rarer resources without the risk of pvp. That's the unbalance.

    I spent all of R22 grinding in Single Player mode because that was just plain easier. I didn't have to compete with other players, I didn't have to worry about scenes or resources being taken away from me and slow down my grind. I didn't explore at all, I just grinded the same scene for weeks so I could level up.

    That's what this is really about. Otherwise, there would be no need to grind out the scenes and have those resources.

    Ya know what would be a perfect fix? Allowing players to take the resources out of single player mode (shardfalls) ONE TIME, that's it. No more for that account. Then they could explore and get all the "content" but there would be no grinding imbalance.

    On top of that they should allow POT owners to make their scenes multiplayer only. That would fix everything.

    They haven't been in the habit of making changing without telling us. I don't assume things will change without notice as that hasn't been their pattern.

    I love how bold these three are. I don't doubt they will raise a fuss but it is good to see honest attempts made by the Devs at making this game challenging.

    I really dig the grandmaster idea. Different tutor titles would be interesting per 10s of hours spent helping people out!

    If I evict you and ban you from the town the only way to get back into a POT is in Single Player Online you need this to get to the banker and pick up your trash. So the option you propose would have much further reaching issues.

    I'm excited to try out all the new changes except this one!

    So are you saying that we can't party up with PVP flagged players to grind on wolves? There will definitely be times when we need to heal our group mates and doing so will flag us for PVP?

    I understand the temporary flag if we heal someone in the group who is engaging in a PVP encounter with other flagged players. But this sounds to me like it will temp flag us in PVE also? I think this is a bad idea because it will limit us on who we can group with.

    or limit what scenes we play with them. i don't want to tell my pvp friends, "no, i won't go grind wolves with you, but we can run one of the few solo/party scenes together."

    You can't ban people in a PVP town (anymore). So this is not a problem.

    Well, I have to agree with drocis on this. The Insta-flagging is wrong. It is just a landmine of exploitation. No one should be innocent, and be able to provide advantage, then attack. It should not be in the game. You flag at the oracle or you do not flag.

    Thank you so much for the "if you heal a PVP and you are not flagged you then become flagged!" That to me is a right direction for "if you decide to intervene in a pvp fight you will become part of the fight!"
    You mentioned horse animations, will we get our horses now?
    Love the subterfuge skill tree (Finally)

    one question; will we be ale to craft Scimitars this release????

    Ok so heres the thing, if a non pvp can heal a PVP (that im fighting) then i should be able to attack that "blue Healer"! Heres the question though....do i get to loot that blue healer when i kill him? Just like i would the other PVP i am fighting? If i can then let the blues heal! If I cant they should not be able to heal a PVP flagged person period!

    I can agree to an extent. But if a blue can sit in the weeds till the opportune moment to heal, or strike, or what ever, then its an imbalance.
