DoT poisons.

[EZ_Kerafyrm the Sleeper]

On Sullon Zek, DoTs(like necro and shammy stuff) cause XP lose even if you are red to the opponent. Does anyone know if poisons will do this? I mean, I would love going through newbie zones killing with poisons if they would lose XP; and since they aren't very high, I could use some low end poisons that are fairly cheap to make.

Cheers

Die please. The experience loss to dots is obviously a bug or a very bad design feature since it contradicts verants basic design which basicly says there those killed by reds face no exp penalty for death.

Are you so pathetic that you need to be wasting your plat and time exp killing lvl 10s? Are you so incapable of pvping people in your lvl range that you are reduced to that?

Next why even post this when it seems the answer is pretty clear to anyone with an IQ of 2 or higher. A player dot is a player dot. They should all work the same.

Have you ever been on Sullon Zek? Create an evil and spend acouple hours in Nek. At some point, there will most likely be a newt PKing(also, I hear that Goodie newbie zones are REALLY bad). I want revenge, and I want it BAD!!!!!!!!

I could if I wanted, but why? Everyone hunts greens... besides, it is fun

Jeez, you didn't have to get mean about it.

Hunting greens is one thing looking for a way to bend (read exploit) verants poor design and cause exp loss to greens is lame.

Dead wrong here, on Sullon Zek, dying because of a DOT (be it an enemy player, NPC or even your own dot, just as dying from falling to your death or bleeding to death does not cause exp loss. Even if that dot came from someone even/green to you. DOT's 9 out of 10 times cause unawarded, exp-loss deaths there. Only IF the death gets awarded (showing "You have been slain by soandso" AND that soandso is even/green to you) you lose exp and can get coined. Not if showing "Pain and suffering tries to hit you, but misses. You died".

I hate griefers, and I go out of my way to hunt them down. Now, what is your name so I can officially welcome you to Sullon Zek?

*edit*
Forgot to add, I am a bard...everytime my DOT's finish my enemy off instead of a DD/melee, I can't coin my victim nor did he/she lose exp. This is definately not rare, a few days ago I set a personal record of defeating 26 newts in one day (even/red newts), of which I only could coin three people who died of DD/mellee, and not those others who died thanks to DOTs (about 5 escaped by suiciding, gating as well).

This is because DoTs sometime lead to an environment death (like drowning). Its not a Sullon specific issue.

just gate (if caster type, bindpoint has to be in another zone) or just zone = dot will vanish

or just buy cristalized pumice (RV female vendor near mangler)

no everyone doesnt hunt greens, Why not?
Because its not fun. its stupid, boring and pointless.

as for exp killing newbies all I have to ask is why does every retarded griefer talk smack about exp killing those under lvl 20? "Have fun getting back your exp haha!" is one of my favorite quotes. uh sure thing dude see my next kill nets me all the lost exp with a net gain. this is sullun where death hurts half as much and exp is 20% easier to gain. get a clue you just grief killed me and refilled my mana bar dumbass.

You can XP greens, but only a loser would do it. And no, it doesn't involve using dots. That's an old dueling/arena related bug.
