i mean it. the drama is all over the place in world chat every day. people are being kicked out of guilds for warmode killings. leaders in several of the HC guilds expect people not to kill their members, alt's of members or members of friend guilds. warmode on hc server is just nonsense at this point.Defiant wrote: Fri Jul 24, 2026 1:06 am I can't tell if this is serious or just a joke but something I've learned in life is that people are always going to find something to whine about. If you remove Warmode the people whining about Warmode would just whine about something else. Don't capitulate to the noisiest group of people-- all you'll accomplish is encouraging those people to whine even more because they'll have realized that it's effective.
It's not my fault they choose to do the challenge. People tell them the same thing you do every day. It doesn't seem to change behavior. I don't really care that much about what other players want in terms of challenges, but they don't need to ruin it for the rest of us with their choices.Defiant wrote: Fri Jul 24, 2026 9:13 pm My recommendation would be for people who cant handle being killed to not choose Warmode. Its a really easy solution that doesnt require developers to step in and get involved.
I mean thats why I said I wasn't sure if you were serious, because the solution is so incredibly simple. If a guild is going to kick someone out for engaging in PVP with people who chose a PVP game mode then I would say the guild isnt worth being in and the person being kicked out is lucky that they didnt invest more time in that guild.
It's supposed to be a kind of hide and seek challenge where anyone is looking for you. But people often choose it just for the free extra xp. So maybe it would have been better to give it a more appropriate name? People who want more fair pvp can always use /pvp or duel. Otherwise, the pvp server is an alternative. But also post suggestions for a more fair pvp challenge, maybe? And people who die in hc shouldn't be able to talk on their dead character in the world chat anyway.Berdal wrote: Sat Jul 25, 2026 10:14 am I think an appropriate middle ground could be that you can't engage in open-world PvP on HC if level is grey to you.
Consider how a lvl 60 griefing (repeatedly) low-level Warmode players on non-HC is not only frowned upon, but against the rules and straight up banable. High levels actually (effortlessly) hunting low-levels (on HC) that stand no chance is laughable and hilariously degenerate.
If you want to reintroduce incentive to add danger to Warmode on HC, you could let them drop their gear, bags, and gold or something upon PvP death (no grey level). Alternatively give punishment if you kill grey level on PvP like stackable 10% stat decrease (including movement speed) for 7 days of in-game time.
