PK boosting
 

Ok so I have just come back onto zone after a short break of it, and I am not sure if this works or not still, You can only kill the same person twice or three times I believe, but I see people kill one afk player, then go and kill another player ect. Does this still add to your PK's or streak or not just wondering.
I don't know if this ever has worked or if it's been patched while I was gone, but thanks to anyone who can answer this :)
Also if it is not fixed is someone working on it, I don't know why it just irritates me when I see someone trying to boost or boosting..

No idea just dont team up with anyone and do it.

Instigator lol

Technically its your fault to afk in a pk area.

you can only kill the same person 3 times in a row until you kill someone else for it to count as a kill. Otherwise, the kill dosen't count. Plus with the skyzone bases, pking is much faster now.

dem skybase 1 riot <3

The trick is to kill someone three times, kill someone different, then kill the afk 3 more times. Repeat the process 1,500 times. Be like aero.

you still get more kills faster by killing others around you

Haha I'm not really wanting to boost it just irritates me when I see people doing it that's all, I don't afk that often anyway so it doesn't happen to me.

It was a jailable offence on PC Classic (I'm aware that Classic is not Zone).

The trouble I see with making it illegal on Zone now would be the massive player count. Enforcing such a rule would be difficult, and an automated system doesn't account for ever possible scenario where someone could be innocent or guilty.

You could, however, decrease the amount of points toward a PK score you get when killing the same player too often. I don't know how PKing effects points or score, or it there is even a damaging issue at all, because I don't play Zone; however, if there is a point system and boosting is an issue it could alleviate part of the problem by making the effects of boosting less damaging. Or, all of this already exists and there may be nothing that can be done further without ruining game playability.

When I played Zone on PC, it didn't matter if someone had a high kill streak because there was a bounty system. The more people they kill, the higher their bounty and the more money you would gain from killing them. I can see getting a high bounty and purposefully dying to a friend to give them money a small issue. That was rare on PC because it took too much time to get the bounty and the bounty was easy to lose to someone other than the person you intended to give it to. AKA it was a waste of time.

I think you've got the wrong server, zone's player count isn't that high compared to the other servers.

It's still much more than any PC server at any point in time.

dosent PC only average 80 players or something?

They have an automated system at the moment on idevice so that you can kill 1 player 3 times until the pks no longer count and on classic yes boosting would get you a warning then a ban or jail.
