No, I really did lose BD symp. I went from 75 to 25
Biotech symp went down too, but I dont care about that.

Its because it was his appartment.

Apartment Sector
Apartments are monitored in the interest of general order. You will be heavily penalized for killing friendly, neutral or enemy runner.
And so your faction got pissed at you.

i think it's good enough that it says what happens to SL everytime you enter a new zone...

SL changes suck. until its viable to fight enemies...

if i find anyone or group without 12 PPU's I consider my day in NC blessed; i cant afford to differentiate allies and enemies..

hopefully now people will kill their enemies in stead of running around the city zoneing and shooting allies

now ppl actually have to search and kill enemies, which is a good thing I suppose (says ally killer #1...)

You wana sit on a zoneline and shoot friendlies well get your ass to doy and lets have a ball.

seriousaly though as a TT runner who was half way geting to FA (27 fs) i tried killing a nib biotech player in my apartment now sl i dont care abourt at them moment yeah its gona take 100 hours of siting to get it up or some actual work what i care about is the fact that as a pro city i cant seam to get any FA fs.

how do we get into doy i know theres the stupir rezzas finest mission but i tried talking to the npc one and she wouldnt speak to me (i assume this is a bug and not how its intended) also those bots are way to hard for something like switching sides because you need a team ( did it with a pe an apu 2 tanks and 3 ppu's in a few hours on a fa char bah).

the mission to switch factions should be long drawn out and hard but should be doable solo or with the help of 1 (one) other person as having to mobalise an entire clan to get someone across is imo stupid.

oh and ignore the spelling and grammer if you cant read it dont.

do i want to sit at synclines killing allies? no.

is there any other choice except fighting zergloads of monks now? no.

I see people have discovered the other new feature. If you kill somebody you shouldn't, like an ally or someone levelling in a dungeon, not only do you lose craploads of symp with your victim's faction, but your own faction will be annoyed with you for such a criminal act. And no more of the piddling -5 drops you used to get, expect your 50 odd symp to drop to -20 odd or whatever if you're naughty.

I wonder if there will be anybody left with FSM access before the week is out?

If no one was listening. I killed an enemy runner in my own apartment and went -35 and lost 50 faction sympathy with my own faction.

That is fucking stupid.

How would your faction explain that its members are killing a friendly faction? They have to sanction that or go onto open war with that faction. - Politics

If you have really friendly (fun) kills, show that: Team up!

Yes, indeed, I'm sure factions such as Black Dragon would care about it's
members comitting criminal acts...

The problem with the new SL is that if you defend yourself (as me and a friend did in Regants) you lose SL. One nice big drop to -44 SL *GG* ^^^^^^

Hey, that's what you get just suck it up. However, that's just my 2 cents. I was a hardcore PKer since back in oct 98 of UO. I lost items etc. all the time, However, I never complained about the system. If you are a true PvPer. You won't mind the faction loss for PKing (to those who don't know PKing - player killing.) Preferrably one of the same "alliance" as you. Just suck it up. It's just a game don't make to big of a deal out of it, unless you are out to win 1st place and win $100,000 USD.

i think its perfectly fine to kill all enemies everywhere without any form of sl loss

not being able to kill enemies certain places is kinda silly
this is a dark cyperpunk world its shoot enemies or be shot everywhere not omg i jstu stepped 2 feet in a hunting zone haha now u cant kill me tho i can also see why its done since all the chaos caves are under anti control so im sure a lot of people can lvl there in peace now if they make it there


tho i think its GREAT the penalty for killing allies and neutrals in certain places that will teach all the alied gankers to be more carefull

Just the change to comfort the carebears more. It's a suprise this hasn't happened sooner. Alot of carebears have taken over many other MMORPG's as well.

I'm not saying the system is perfect. It isn't even ok.
[ edited ] When you enter apt, it says that you will be "heavily penalized" for killing friendly, neutral and enemy. So what'd you expected?
