Completely stuck due to karma
So im new, I did not understand karma and thought if I defend myself from people I will be ok, little did I know that killing 6 people is equal to -750,000 karma. How this happens is just insane imo but whatever. Problem is now, my character cannot go anywhere without dying to guards, my gear is broken, my gems are gone, I can't enter a city to try and drop my gear off at storage to make an alt and give it them... So im literally stuck with what to do. 750,000 just seems like the developers went overboard for no reason, I only killed 6 people yet im now unable to do anything in game at all. Everyone can freely kill me, guards can wreck my face with me unable to even react, and my gear will constantly devolve and break with me having no way to react. If you don't want pvp to be in the game, don't, you should not punish new people from defending themselves by ruining their account and everything they own in game. Im not sure if to just quit at this point since I cannot find a way to trade my gear to an alt and everything is on this character as it was high level life skills, professional in 3 areas and artisan in 1.

Pearl store, loyalty section and get some "Tear of Repentance".

Also you don't need to flag yourself to "defend". If you're attacked you can defend yourself just fine without losing Karma. A guy randomly attacked me earlier and I whooped him till he ran away, tail between his legs.

Sounds like you just attacked and killed a bunch of people.

Edit: For your repair problem, I hear Trent has a place without attacking guards. I don't know how good that info is, it's just what I heard from others.

I did not just attack a bunch of people, im only level 50 with + 7 gear, and + 11 weapon... I was at catfish, my first time leaving life skills and got attacked many times, I got angry and decided to try and kill them. Honestly I have no idea how my karma got so low, seems way out of touch with an angry 20 minutes.

Tear of repentance just says +50% karma, how am I suppose to farm karma when its -750 thousand and I have all broken gear thats been devolved...

Trent is bottom left of the map, south of the Catfishmen. Be careful though, I hear other players can kill you in town if you are negative karma.

To gain back karma use a Tear and grind mobs, Mansha is probably a good quiet spot with a good amount of enemies.

How much time are we talking here, 750 thousand seems impossible to get back as a low level without insane gear

I'm not going to lie or sugar coat it for you, it's going to take a good while. Probably at least 2-3 days grinding to fix that.

Killing another player in the open world is a last resort and they just doubled the karma penalty for it in the last patch.

With you only being level 50 and having basic gear, it maybe worth re-rolling a new character. The time it takes you to level up will possibly be faster than fixing your karma on your current character.

They just doubled the karma penalty for PVP because the devs apparently want this game to not have open-world PVP. It's a complete joke and it just makes it easier for griefers to karma bomb you and hog your farm.

This thread is kinda ironic because the changes was made to protect new players.

And no, EU/NA did not have the lowest karma per kill, because RU had the same amount and still do right now.

Yeah I know they did it to protect new players, but the consequence of this is karma bombing is worse. They either need to revamp pvp or get rid of the ridiculous karma hit now.

They're taking all the PVP out of the game and it sucks. Why do Steam players need hand holding? We used to lose xp when we died at launch.

Yep, good old days where you lose exp on death regardless of how you die. Why didn't they hold our hands then? The GMs are so out of touch with the game.

New player lvl 50 "defending" himself against 6 other players who surprisingly just attacked him from nowhere.

Been playing this game for a month now and I only been pk'd twice.

Shady story. Sounds like someone decided to troll afk fishers, weight and breathe trainers.

You should have no problem if you really only defended yourself and didn't flag them, which honesty doesn't sound like the case here.
