| Author | Remove afk -2 luck penalty for ambush |
|---|
No need for additional punishment when you never initiated a battle yourself.
the -2 luck is annoying for the next 2 hours of playing.
Afk while being ambushed is not something you do on purpose. |
| i thought it was gone.. Are you sure about the -2 luck being implemented still? |

from his profile, may be yes |
Yeah I noticed it now after an ambush was finished. But it happened before Ithat I did not even notice the -2 luck, until I was in the next battle.
Had to check battle log to see the lost ambush. |

Happened to me yesterday.
Many of us click in the Map to move to another location, and leave do something else some minutes (As in RL), and come back.
Then you would open LWM and find yourself with -2 Luck, and be like "What?", Lol. |
| I agree it is annoying to be double punished - though I think many people now wander around happily on their thief safe Abu-Bakr mount. Thief safety has never before been so affordable |

Exactly. |
| But also by ambushing a player you could say your wasting their time also |

lol - clearly thieves have rights too!
Next we will be getting insurance claims made by burglers who cut themselves when breaking into someones house.
However since there is a thieving mechanism such that you can end up being in a battle when you move around, there should be some form of incentive to think about its possibility. This is achieved most easily by there being a consequence to being AFK, so therefore the -2 luck should stand. There is always the option of travelling with no troops (easier than ever to set up- just switch faction to one with no recruit set up, then switch back to your main afterwards) or else a mount with anti-thief |
just switch faction to one with no recruit set up
pls dont do that. just have top 2 tier of your level. that would give thief enuf time to kill u and he will get his near full fsp ( hence more chance for you to get refunded) |
| Indeed, all I meant was switch to a faction with a recruit set up for thieving - AS this should be quicker than manually changing the recruit options for you normal faction. I agree better to die quick but the thief to get some FSP - then they happy - however if you are using a faction that you do not play to do this, what you recruit may vary - though it should be as much as you think can be killed straight away. Personally I would choose whatever is as high ini as possible and suicide them - may as well get soem fsp if you do pick up the battle. |
for merlin36:
That should not be issue anymore since auto is available since beginning of battle now |

A rather selfish statement
Setting an ambush is a choice, getting ambushed is not. |
getting ambushed is not.
The choice you're making is not using anti-thief mount. Or in your case, any mount at all. |
| Since this is pretty much a matter of opinion, I'll just add my +1 here. I don't like the idea of having to stay at my computer while traveling. I also don't like the idea of having to spend gold on getting a mount when ambushes are so rare in the first place. |

spoiled child sentence. lack of logic.
by ambushing player you wasting their time in the first place. you already take their gold, no need to punish them more. |
