Justification for bandit's vote mechanic?

Nothing to reason about. Well known mechanic, you got warned before making your choice, it was fair and square given the circumstances.

Even if the only reason GGG made the quest this way is to have fun reading such threads, it is good enough for me.

ty for the show

ah and maybe I suck at guessing, you suck at bandid killing, you win some and you lose some

This is the justification for bandit vote mechanic. Legit PKing. GGG is not going to "fix" this because it isn't exploiting or broken in any way, it's working exactly as intended. If you're afraid of getting PK'd just solo the bandits. They are all soloable for every build on all difficulties as long as you are a bit creative.

Pro tip: Viper strike + Temporal Chains

If you actually read my post you can tell I am not upset. From the tone of your posts though, and from your admission of pking unsuspecting players, can anything good be interpreted from you? If anything, you come across as a twat, and if people like you is what this game caters to, then there devs have some serious issues.

Note that there was no skill involved in you losers 'having fun'. If you kill me with skill, I will call it a fair game. I would the first one to call it GG. This is nothing more than trolling in game, allowed by questionable design.

GG

Where have I ever admitted I pk'd? I've never even done the bandit quests outside of my own characters. Cry more baddie.

Remember, the purpose of a game is to allow the user to have fun.

You are beyond daft.

Is this even a reply? Personal attacks and what else? Where is your argument? Not even sure if you agree or disagree. Shall I reply with ad hominem as well? Dumbfuck.

If you are actually going to invest in a character at early levels, solo or vote last. If they won't vote, make a new group. You have the choice to not vote. I don't feel bad for people who get pk'd. Hell, i tried to PK once and they killed me lol

This is a multi-player game. And relevant to making money: why would I pay $ for stuff that nobody will see since I play solo? The more party unfriendly the game, the less attractive it is to spend on cosmetics. Just a thought GGG...

Theres already a warning.

There should be a clearer warning as well as a timer where you can see who is still in party.

I appreciate that you liked my show. And thank _you_ for proving that you are a prick and contribute to the unfriendliness observed both in game and in these forums.

I suggest you read the thread linked by Alea:

And can you explain to me how am I going to use viper with a low dex character? Try harder...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have yet to see any justification for this mechanic.

If I am on a party from act 1 all the way to act 2 bandits, can you explain why I would then decide to solo the bandits?

This is a party unfriendly setup, plain and simple.

If this was a non-issue, would there be so many threads about it?

Can someone point to me at any post where the devs explain of this decision?

You all need to stop the ass licking and use your head when discussing. Try to use your brain to came up with an explanation. I bet the devs better value people who input their opinions rather than the "yes men" that you are.

Even Diablo 2 has a better setup with the PK warning when you go hostile, and that game is ancient. Better yet, in Diablo it can happen in the entire game, so players have to always be prepared. If there was a cuttthroat league, then people would make pvp builds. This is just an idiotic way of ruining pub party play.

why so many bandit
s

Votes on helping or not happen,
All vote same, bandits get jiggy with it,
Votes not the same, bandits sit back amused, possibly cheering on the bloodfest till only one side is still standing..

Problem solved..

It's not the PKers that are the issue, its the fact they hide behind bandits to do their dirty work..

Or if GGG wanted to make it even more amusing, add in a random factor where the bandit, turns around to the 1 or 2 'helpers' and says, "I don't need help from traitors" and turns on them.. :)
Thus PK turns into a gamble..

I did read it and I posted a reply there aswell.



Viper Strike is just one of many ways to deal with the bandits. Try Jade Amulet.

Dual totems also work... there's a few items that lets you cast an additional totem... especially with Oak it's simple (just takes a while)...

Hide behind tent, on one end throw some traps, cast totem.... go to the other end, repeat...
