I have to bomb myself every time I need full health,

The hell? You do realize you can let other people kill you. You aren't being forced to bomb yourself. That's your choice. (and a pretty poor way to PK)  

I have heard of ppl becoming a saint then waiting until the defending guilds guard is down an taking sardz. So I don't think its out of the question to be done as it seems many of you think it is. Yes it could take a long time idling in a church to get up to 100,but when you can just walk straight through all the door blockers at any fort and sit there in the flag room with out taking sword damage it can give you an advantage.

How? Use 2nd accounts as saints,And set them in flag rooms of towers. That would at least give you a pair of eyes in the flag room. You would be able to see how many defenders are in there,and when the time is right switch your tag on and attack the flag.
Or if nothing else switch onto your 2nd account that has 100ap and go scout the towers with out worring as much about getting pkd.

Ap has to stay to bring balance to pking that's why it will never go away. How much harder would it be to tower if ppl could simply block the doors and just sit there and heal and never die? You would never be able to get through. Or how much of a bitch would it be trying to defend when the attackers can just heal and not die? They would never have to re-spawn else where. Even tho with the way the lag is half the time ppl die and just re-spawn in the same spot in towers anyways.

hey, I'm about to reveal to you my deepest thoughts of the Alignment Point system, so i'd be pleased if you'd take yourself a second to at least vote on the Poll and maybe leave a comment with your opinion about it.

Sure!

Posted by Christopher

well back to the topic
I used to like AP (Alignment Points). In fact, I loved it.

Nice!

Posted by Christopher

But now I sat back a bit and thought a little bit about it and I really don't like it anymore,

Oh?

Posted by Christopher

sure it has some good sides i think, but everything would be better without it to me

I'm interested to hear why, I guess.

Posted by Christopher

I'll now tell you some advantages of the AP System.

Wait... you're going to support your case by giving me reasons to disagree with you? Okay!

Posted by Christopher

When you have 100 AP, and you're not really that Pker type of person, other people will not be able to hit you with a sword. Good. but they can still hit you with arrows, bombs or horse. not really helpful then.

Oh well. If you're not much of a PKer then odds are you won't be walking around in a no-PK area.

Posted by Christopher

I can't tell you more. advantages, please tell me in the comments below if there are.

Wait a sec... you said advantages with an s. I want to hear more!

Posted by Christopher

now we're at the disadvantages

Oh darn.

Posted by Christopher

No healing? No sense.. to me

...To you

Posted by Christopher

People can no longer heal if they have below 20 AP (not sure, haven't tested)

Are you sure about the rest of the post?

Posted by Christopher

Why? to make it fair for those who are not that good at PK? how is that fair to those who are?

That's not the point of it.

Posted by Christopher

and why are pro sparrers with a rating of 7000+ still able to spar people with a rating of 5000+ then? makes no sense to me.

Not sure what this has to do with it, but okay.

Posted by Christopher

if you want fairness then really do fairness.

Touché

Saints(people with 100 AP)
People could just make an organized group/guild of many people being saints.
those rush the flagroom and place all around the flag and start to hit, only then they'd be able to get damage by sword which is most likeley already too late.

But they would inadvertently hit somebody and lose their AP immediately. As you pointed out, it's hard to get that high of AP, so the odds of a towering guild suddenly all getting 100 AP and storming a tower are rare anyways.

Posted by Christopher

they could do this to your fort! right now!

I don't have a fort so I don't think this is possible.

Posted by Christopher

are you with me?

No.

Posted by Christopher

Friend Indicators
those are really annoying and for some people hard to see.

May I suggest reading glasses?

Posted by Christopher

Spar
when you spar with 100 AP you'll first think: "yeahh! cool i'm not losing AP".

I have never thought this in my life.

Posted by Christopher

But then, when you're not paying attention to it and are no more worried about losing AP.. BOOM. that's where you'll lose your AP.

Okay?

Posted by Christopher

If you have more disatvantages, please comment below.

You seem to have hit them all.

Summary
Why can't we just get back our usual Name Tag colors and Delete this - to me - awful system?

Because we're players who are unable to delete systems.

Posted by Christopher

it's nothing but (excuse my language here) a pain in the ass to most of the Players.

Care to provide your source?

Posted by Christopher

I mean Red Name for Guild, Purple for Ally, lightblue for random Player, Darkblue for a friend and a Gold Tag for a Staff is much more clearly than some wiggeling arrows that Jump above players head.

While this is true, the arrows are still adequate and the pros out-way the cons.

Posted by Christopher

It looks like those are killer Arrows poking our heads till we die.

Ah, yes. This is the last proof we need to remove the system.

Posted by Christopher

Can we just have the old Names back?

Nope.

Posted by Christopher

and forget about the AP System?

Definitely not.

Posted by Christopher

I'll tell you what,

What.

Posted by Christopher

no I promise you,

Ooo.

Posted by Christopher

when we are rid of these Alignment Points everyone, believe it or not,

Having a hard time believing.

Posted by Christopher

is going to be much more wanting to go out

You mean like 'GF ME PLS'?

Posted by Christopher

and PK, Tower or Spar.

I'm glad I have your promise.

*cough* Slightly ontopic: Why do people complain about things that have little purpose and dont even significantly affect gameplay? AP is nearly useless, why bother complaining?  

My only problem with ap is the fact I can't heal. Reason why? I pk and my ap is usually below 10 and you have to have 40+ ap to heal. Maybe if this was fixed I bet all the complaints will be removed

Why fix what is not broken?
