I know as players get into the higher levels the brackets expand a bit. From what I understand, there will be higher level players, sometimes way higher (1000+ levels above me), that I can attack if I choose. I was told a while ago that as long as I dont attack those players they cant attack me. What I am asking is, how many levels above me can a player be and still attack me? Right now Im close to 2700. I understand if I pistol whip, attack, attack off of bounty list, etc, that I get exposed for 24 hours. But if I dont do the attacks, how can a player 300 levels above me attack me? Here is my "'issue'', and its only an issue of ignorance, because healing doesnt bother me, deaths dont bother me, etc: My enemy is 300 levels above me and I cant beat it. I use the counter attack so I will get exp points from enemy. I NEVER attack enemy except if it gets listed, and dont really bother pistol whipping. I just want to know at what point can I expect to disappear from its battle list. When it is 400 levels past me? Five? Thank you for your time, and I welcome responses. Again, I know about defense, arming, crafting, adding captains, buying captains, etc. This isnt about that. I want to know from someone who knows how far the space has to be at our corresponding levels. Thanks again, and have a great, great day.
Since its pirate clan and i play the game it is going to vary also. I am about 200 levels above you and right now i am getting hit by players constantly who either can win or don't win thinning lists also so it makes you feel like a bully hitting the same players over and over constantly. But from my standpoint i cannot hit a player who is around level 2400 hundred now. And a player who is level 3300 can hit me were i stand so give or take its going to be around 400 to 500 levels in between us were we stand. Give it awhile hopefully with this new battle arena it will take a lot of hits of players who are constantly being hit. And i can admit i am one of those players who has to constantly hit others because they are the only ones on the list bosses are all done and you still have stamina to burn. Just keep playing it's a game win or lose its a stat nothing else. Your going to lose experience and gain experience keep building up and you will in turn beat them back sooner or later have plenty of times on my way up and got plenty of players who i have beat come back to beat me and have to work on beating them.
I have noticed it is approx 300 levels give or take a few, there seems to be a limbo area, from my personal experience, where it can give me the warning yet that person can attack me
Thanks for the responses. I will bring the counter attacks as my only respite, which brings me to.... 24 hour thing.... thats cool for a hunter who doesnt want to get hit 12 thousand times because he/ she went after some 50 trillion bounty, but why does the counter reset basically everything related, including (for arguments sake) counter attacks? Extreme version: one player gets attacked by another 10 thousand times in a month and never attacks except to counter. How system is with resets, after a day, no matter how many attacks against in total previously, the counter attack price resets to maximum cost. So the player being attacked can either start process over, take 50- 100 attacks to get cost of counter att down to reasonable price, or... counter anyway, going broke in process. Seems to me that system favors the aggressor. Counter attacks were put in the game, I presume, to level the playing field a bit for players who chose different paths to persue in game. Where bulking up and attacking alot are rewarded as strategies, making/ saving/ investing loot as a way to a counter attack strat is exponentially harder to achieve... Thoughts?
Counters have to be set that way. Unfortuantely i hate counters simply for the fact some players will abuse them way to much. Lets use this for example. I have a certain player who likes to hit and hide with me and when i finally do catch them on i try to return the favor i can blow through 400 counters of theirs and maybe get 25 hits in total. Yeah i know its stupid of me some people say for me to continuing giving them experience and losing that much stamina but i am going to break them of there gold if they are going to do that. The higher you keep improving your income the more and more your counters are going to go up Until you hit that player so much it lowers the price on how much it costs them to set counters on you. Sooner or later the developers are going to have to take a look at that aspect of how many counters you can sit on a player within a 12 to 24hour period. Like i said not all people abuse them but you do have the occasional ones who hit and hide and then counter you because they cannot beat the attacker since there defense is not there.
I believe u can atack upwards as high as u dare, but can only attack players downward within 10% of your level. IE level 1000 can attack down to level 900. level 2000 can attack down to level 1800. of course if u attack a higher level the whole 24 hour thing goes into affect
