If you want to limit spruce deaths, give them tools to avoid combat or escape.

Perhaps allow hearthing when attacked by another player, but not by animals.

Name the bots in question that gave me pvp advantage over you.

I do not know. Are you saying that since I do not know, there can not be bots that give you a PvP advantage?

What if we added speed boosts that people that are running can get to mkae distance, and oh, what if we allow them to click on critters that they see first to make even more distance.

Why do you want tools that require 0 effort to use?

Speed boost aren't visible for everyone at the same time (there are hidden rules under the hood, we did check and it's not based on explo*perception). There were many scenarios when person who was running away couldn't see/take a speedbuff but player behind could and vice versa.

and oh, what if we allow them to click on critters that they see first to make even more distance.

I would say for 50% cases it's trap for newbies, they click not optimal critter and lose distance.

I really hate the whole critter thing, it makes no sense to me. It's not intuitive and require custom client to properly utilize.

I want tools that are easy to understand and use so any noob can benefit from it.

I believe players should have ways to avoid conflict if they want to, but there should be some kind of price to pay for that.

maybe true only for you

Honestly someone with 1-2 hours of running practice could run away pretty consistently in a 1v1 (Im not talking coordinated ganks or running from the top players who will take advantage of every single smallest mistake you make, im talking an average gank).

I don't understand your point of "I believe players should have ways to avoid conflict if they want to", they can, don't leave scents and learn to run, you won't be ganked by 10 players if you don't leave scents and if you know how to run you can in most cases just run in a straight line until you are safe. What you want is people having a button to get out of any conflict with 0 effort. If you REALLY want to avoid conflict you absolutely can if you are willing to learn.

Reminder that in legacy you ran away based on clicking the farthest and not clipping on objects, and if someone caught you (and you were in full peaceful, which ALL hermits were) you basically lost 75% of your stats (which is more than 75% of progression), compared to now where you probably won't die to begin with, and even if you do you can regain up to 80% of your stats AND it's easier to run away.

1-2hours of running practice is a very long time for people learning the game. There is a ton of things you need to learn anyways. Especially for people that are not that interested in the pvp aspects of the game.

I don't understand your point of "I believe players should have ways to avoid conflict if they want to", they can, don't leave scents and learn to run, you won't be ganked by 10 players if you don't leave scents and if you know how to run you can in most cases just run in a straight line until you are safe.

With people going around killing everyone they see just for fun, I don't think that is the case.

I never argued it was better in legacy. The only chases I somewhat remember from back then were on boats, trying to get as long of a straight line as possible because each extra click slowed you down.
Also chases were often extremally long were they not?

maybe true for most of the custom client big factions out there.

fixed it for ya.
