    Eliminating Turns and Travel pointsStarted by:CavemanJoe, Nov/07/08 06:52 PM
    I've spoken before about replacing Turns
    and Travel points and other action
    points (such as Scavenging turns) with
    an expansion of the Stamina system.
    Here's how I think it might

    Given the option to now turn off PvP, I
    think it wouldn't be a bad idea to raise
    it back to the 5% wager/10% loss it was
    before. This makes is desirable for
    some, and seeing as they can only turn
    it off/on once per DK, greater risk

    Season 2 and Newbie RetentionStarted by:Former Noob, Nov/08/08 05:25 AM
    For me, the biggest turn off for this
    game is that a handful of players seem
    to dominate the game. And looking
    through this forum, they seem to have
    been dominant for some time. And that
    leads me to believe they will continue
    to do so in Season 2.
