Joymax approves 1* Poppers?

I'll tell you what: 1* popping is gay and so are the **** who do it. If you can pop a lvl 22 1* like myself with your npc thieves, then you are obviously strong enough to take on a better trader with a 2 or 3 * trade. It just pisses me off that i can't even do a 1 * yet i can walk from jangan to dw without trouble if i dont have a trade run. 1* trade runs are'nt even worth that much to higher lvls to begin with. joymax should make it so that only a player 10 lvls higher than you can spawn npc thiefs that can harm you.

The problem is that it is very difficult to FIND 2* or higher trades. So after watching dozens of 1* traders go by, and having to deal with high lvl hunters (and still get NO exp or $$) thieves start to pop. Yup it sucks. It also sucks that they have to to make $$$ or thiefing XP.

If this is the vent you anger about 1*poppers topic, then her goes...

I hate it

I hate them

First i try to see if I can kill thiefs, if they are oxes or white horses, I try to go back to ferry or town.

I al that fails , i just close SRO... Some will say it's lame, but i don't care.
I think it's lame to pop, so they can tell it's lame to disconnect , we 're even :-)

Now on the other hand if I do get popped, I don't whine, I just go to town and start over :-)

Going to login, and I hope the poppers are gone :-)

Of course, i was a thief first

PS: coughREScough has the most retarded 1* poppers out there. One idiot tired to pop my horse with a ox when it was 5 seconds behind me. The I went back and stole his loot and he tried freezing my camel and following me not knowing even when his ox catches up....itll cover my camel from his thieves!

Today I did trade, and when i was close to jangan 2 poopers came at my rear. One of them was high lvl 45+ ( for sure) but probably lvl 52. After that a level 24 noob was tring to pop me, which wasn't smart becuase he had same lvl of theifs as me

. The lvl 52 Died, and came back to me and spawned another white horse, but had no loot so he couldn't spawn thiefs. In the end i won, wiiht out a pot waited.

HertogJan · Post by **HertogJan** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 10:29 am

I am a thief myself most of the time, but i really really hate 1* poppers, although i also really hate people with oxes doing 1*. But being a loner myself i can understand them why they arent in a guild.

I do understand 1* poppers. sometimes i walk around as a thief for 1 hour. getting killed a dozen of times, getting called names by 1* traders just for walking past them without horse. Getting called names by hunters who kill me or i kill. I really enjoy all of that but i can understand why people get irritated by it. Then why not pop some of those name callers? >.<

Its fun though to be in thief suit, and kill some npc thiefs of a 1* popper. trader and thief both start calling you names then! HURRAY FOR THE FUN!

[SD]MARKsman7328 · Post by **[SD]MARKsman7328** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 11:34 am

soon they are coming out w/ an update for npc hunters which will prevent 1* popping. thieves will spawn npc hunters not thieves, which will not attack traders like npc thieves do.

Now for the new trading system update:

1) It's just talking about how you can do 1 to 5 stars of trade and etc etc.

2) Here's where it gets interesting.

In this update there's a major change to the party system.

- A person who is currently in job suit cannot party with non-jobbing character
In another words, u can't party someone who's not wearing job suit if u are wearing a job suit.

- Trader/Hunter cannot party with theives

- While ur in a party, u cannot take off ur job suit.

Ah, and this part, is in my opinion, a great addition.

- When selling trade goods, for each additional person in party, there will be bonus job xp given. (when the trade is successful, obviously)

- When someone in party kills someone of opposing job, for each additonal person in party, there will be bonus job xp given.

- When the trader successfully completes the trade run, and sells off the goods, the hunter will be given money for his work.

- For each additonal person in party, there will be bonus MONEY made for a successful trade.

3) Trade posts.

As you can see, there are 7.

Right now, in iSRO there are 3, one for each of the towns, in the picture, 1, 3, and 5
I believe should be obvious. (its jangan, donwhang, and hotan in that order)

2, 4, 6, 7 are the new outposts that are going to be created in this update.

Simply put, these act almost similar to the trade posts already in the towns. A trader
could buy/sell goods here. However, in order for a trader to use these posts,
he must have completed a quest that corresponds to each of these.

2 = lvl 20+

4 = lvl 30+

6 = lvl 60+

7 = lvl 70+

The quest npcs are located at the same trading post spot.

4) This is just talking about the new way of purchasing goods.

As you can see, using the window, u can purchase the amount u wish with only 1 click, instead of clicking 99999 times

the first field is for amount of goods, 2nd field shows the money required, or u can
select the trade good size (stars? not too sure bout this) and it'll auto buy accordingly.

5) Now you all know that there are theif npcs that spawn when doing trade runs, or
when ur a theif with goods inside caravan.

In this new update, there will be theif npcs as well as HUNTER npcs.

For traders, theif npcs will spawn.
For theives, hunter npcs will spawn .

Now HERE'S WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING.

Previously, a npc theif will attack anyone nearby, this includes ANYONE.
Which means u can technically kill others that are not even wearing job suit.
(if u let ur npc theif and that person unfortunately finds it)
Also anyone (even jobless) people may attack npc theives, and npc theives
will attack them back.

This whole new update changes that all!

Normal Character(jobless) = Cannot attack or be attacked by theif/hunter npc.

Theif npc = Can only attack trader and hunter characters.

Hunter npc = Can only attack theif characters.

Trader/Hunter characters = cannot attack hunter npc.

Thief character = cannot attack theif npc.

6) Talks about caravan summoning here.

- Traders and Theives can only summon caravans.

- Thieves cannot summon a caravan inside of the town, nor could they bring
one into town

- Any character that has a summoned transport can not use any type of return scrolls.

7) This part is just about how they are going to reset every job items out there, and
refund it all in game gold. (goods, etc)

This was taken from http://forum.mmosite.com/topics/105/200 ... 430,1.html

thnx keyjizzle for ur mother of updates thread.

They better coome up with that update soon. I just experience a new method of popping and it sucks for me

You need 2 people to do this. This method is 95% successful.

1. 1 thief and 1 ordinary person (All above lvl 20)
2. The ordinary person will freeze/slow down the caravan, getting offender status. The thief on the other hand tried to catch up
3. If you try to attack the offender, he will just flash run and the thief may have caught up with you.
4. POP... you're dead

DAM DAM DAM...I never seen about this in any guide. Pilling your horse won't really help because the person will try to freeze/slow down your horse and eventually the thief will catch you.

The people around him tried to kill him but in the end only doing less than 10 dmg each....

Deadly EYez · Post by **Deadly EYez** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 12:06 am

Well sometimes it gets fun, like poping a whole guild of noobs on 1*'s like last week.
7 camels died..
And people started flaming me lol..
IMO people flame 1 * popers are just sick and don't get that this is a part of this game and when you steped out of the town going on a trade run you accepted the risk of getting pop'ed.

And please forgod sake don't say that this is a bug or you will make a complete fool out of yourself!
It's like hiting people around with purple name and if you killed one of them by mistake you start flaming lol..

vulperin · Post by **vulperin** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 4:33 am

Yeah i have to say that's fun. My heart kept pounding and wanted the trade run to be over as soon as possible. But once you're stuck in deep shit, that's it, fun is over.

16 runs already. All detected by poppers and so far i failed 1 only. So actually it isn't that bad unless you're really unlucky.

But, i will say this is definitely a bug. People resting happily will get hit by wandering thieves. What is this? Thieves are suppose to go to traders and not people who are not jobbing

NrTH · Post by **NrTH** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 10:50 am

I pop 1 * traders.. ppl under 30 simply should not be allowed trading, i pop em all.. even more than i can carry.. every server needs a bully

Peace out

vulperin · Post by **vulperin** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 3:06 pm

Ok...so the excuse is people under 30 must not trade.

Ok, let's raise the lvl requirement for jobbing to be 30. Then thieves will say no trader under 40 and so on...
