Well my friends and I have discussed this in some great detail and this is what we would like to see tired...
No TEF's
No interaction between coverts and overts except conversation.
To go Overt you simply have to type /delcare
To go Covert you have to go to a recruiter
Player looting to be reinstuted
here's the why's
NO TEF's or Covert/Overt interaction.
TEF's are the biggest source of complaints in the PvP system as it is now...So no healing, no trading, no grouping, and even no tipping from a Covert to an Overt or vice-a-versa...in short no interaction. You are either in PvP or you are not...no more middle ground..."It is unadviseable to help such a character."
Overt by typing /delcare
This will allow people who come across that poor lone player being slapped around by a group to join in....after all if an Imperial saw some Rebels attacking an Imperial they have an obligation to the Emperor to restore order....and as a Rebel you should be able to take advantage of an opportunity that presents itself. This would also allow for sneak attacks and ambushes to be setup...this would also add value to the covert faction scanners...(which btw we would like to see mobile units...but this would cause a whole new set of problems as peaceful faction supports would get ripped into combat...so maybe not a good idea)
Going Covert at the Recruiters
The main reason for this is to keep folks from declaring...then whoopin' up on someone else...and then they get away by some fast way of going covert...not fair to the poor sole who just got jumped...maybe 30 minutes until covert...maybe leave it an hour...maybe make it so you spend faction points to go covert...(we are still discussing this part)
Player looting
Bottom line is there is not enough danger in dieing...and think about the guy who has as much money as he wants... buying the best guns,armor,food,drink,buffs,and spice...then going on a one man rampage of glory and honor...leaving carnage in his wake...only to be finally brought down and then looted for a random item...could be anything...equipped or not equipped... from a camp, to money, to a piece of his armor, or even his beloved gun...well maybe this guy will think twice before going hostile...and maybe people wouldn't risk their uber items in a PvP roll...maybe the playing field would be that much more level...who know's....(personally I use the best I have all the time and I am willing to chance it)
Also that if you are using any faction perk...from armor to weapons to pets you are automatically overt and if you die the items that were making you overt automatically unequip or store themselves unless they are in combat (pets).
Well thats my 2 credits...what ya think?
