Horse Killing In Towns

[MadConsular]

I know it's a hardcore mmo and what not, but there really needs to be better protection for horses in towns. You need a horse to get around and they are very hard to get in some places. So the fact that one naked players can just go to a town and completely kill everyones horse - which I've seen a few times needs to be remedied somehow. It's not fair because 1: They are risking nothing and 2: You have no way to defend your horse. The only option would be stabling it which is just annoying to do whenever you need to go into town for a few minutes. I know some players won't mind but there does have to be some measures to prevent no-risk griefers

put your horse in a stable and it will be safe

So, it seems odd to say stabling your horse is "annoying" but then complain about horse-killers and say "you have no way to defend your horse"... but there are stables to protect them. You'd rather complain about 1 silver and a few minutes and then REALLY complain your horse gets killed?

"Completely kill"? How could anyone even partially kill something anyway?

They added more guards in towns and in banks, that was their current solution. It kind of works, you just need to make sure guards are around. Don't go on horse inside banks/shops, as it gets people frustrated, they block the way. If you do, make sure to leave fast. It frustrates people, and most of frustrated people wont defend your horse if someone attacks it :)

I can guarantee you once the game goes live and the subscription kicks in..these arseholes will be gone. Apparently most trolls cant hold a job to pay for it.

^ Hope so.

Donkeys were always something griefed pretty heavily in MO1. But you used to be able to take 15 minutes to get three and they were only a few gold to buy. So if you lost one no big deal. Expensive mounts like bull horses 15-20g each would easily kill a naked by kicking it to death before they could kill it. They just need to add donkey spawns for gathering. Only thing in game currently is steppe horses I believe. In time there will be easier mount's to tame that don't take 30-45 minutes to get one.

I believe Henrik said the flagging system is only partially implemented.

So we can probably expect changes to these types of things in the future.

You are so wrong...

When the game goes live, there will be guilds in every town dedicated to stealing and griefing. You will have to check rooftops and surroundings before crafting and avoid afking anywhere in the world. Theres a natural balance to things though and anti-rpk guilds form to help combat the situation.

The very existence of people defending this kind of antisocial behavior and blame it on the victim clearly shows the sorry state of this games community.

Should we be glad that parttime psychopaths and "people with mental backgrounds" found a place where they can be what their "true nature" is and therefore stay out of other games, saving tjose communities from their "bright ideas"?

I would say so ;-)

Players know full well that if they take the time to stable their horse and cough up 1 silver their horse is 100% safe there. They know what will inevitably happen if they don't. Their choice.

From what I gather there are players who are on a mission to kill horses because they get pissed off when players bring their horses into the bank. Some just kill them for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles. It may be a deplorable thing to do, but games that are Sandbox + PvP are full of deplorable things to do. Often it kills the game off, as in Last Oasis, but there you go... games get the players they cater for, but some Devs never really grasp that this is not always a good thing. They should be careful what they wish for.

You simply should not be able to take a horse into a town, period.

The amount of times you have someone AFK in the bank or some other place and blocks access to anything, ♥♥♥♥♥ me.

You should have to park your horse otherwise no access to town.

As for the killing of horses, just plain bad forethought and design from the Devs. After so many years in MO1, they know this ♥♥♥♥ but still do nothing.

Maybe they have a fresh bunch kids that have no clue making MO2.....

It's apparently bannable now which is even more lame. Why let players do something and then make it bannable idk.

Theres no way killing a horse is bannable, you've been misinformed.

"Please do not use pets to attack players in town, Game Masters will ban you temporary as people currently have no way to defend themselves. This is a known issue that will resolve. The same goes for attacking pets and horses in town we ask for patience as we get these issues resolved."
From the MO2 discord in the announcement section.
It is ambiguously worded tho does it mean don't attack horses with pets in town or don't attack horses in town period...so the intention is up for interpretation ^^
