There ARE Safe zones- and your imaginations are dillusional.

There are safe zones, which are all cities with Guards and Guard-Towers.
The banks, towns, and anywhere outside of the very shadowy corners of the towns will have MULTIPLE towers that will attack you if you try to PK or loot someone in town. Towns will also be a hotspot for players. NPC guards.
This means that the MOMENT you attack someone or loot an innocent corpse in town- every guard tower begins to hit you. Even if you are solo 1v1 with that player, you will lose solely bc he has the benefit of MULTIPLE guard towers hitting you. Only the worst of newbs would fail.
Fortunately for those newbs, it will never be 1v1 in these hotspots. The MOMENT you attack that newb, half the town will immeditely run straight to you to kill you, and loot you. There is no denying the incentive to
1) Safe PvP. Attacking in a situation you wont die in bc of overwhelming numbers (Entire town + Guards + Guard Towers vs 1 Grey)
2) Free Loot. Kill the grey, get his stuff!
3) Fun PvP, and 4) Justice
So NO you will not be able to roflstomp wtfpwn the newb, full loot him, then jetpack to safety before anyone (NPC or PC) can yell "KAKAROT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and no, you cant do ANYTHING you want, because you will be wtfpwned by every single person around, every npc, every guard tower, AND that newb who fights back (or runs away to safety while you're wtfpwned by guardtowers.)

We all know the towns are pretty safe so yeah not needed. The only part of the post that had value to it was KAKAROT, made me giggle alot
Nothing is 100% safe. Just like high security space in EVE, you can still kill another player if you pick the right spot and do it quickly.
I see where you are going with this. I would respectfully argue that there are no safe zones, just because you may be killed from a guard, doesn't mean you can't kill someone. You can attack or kill anyone anywhere, you just may not live to get away.

EXACTLY!!!
PLAYING: NOTHING!!!
PLAYED:FFXI, LotRO, AoC, WAR, DDO, Megaten, Wurm, Rohan, Mabinogi, RoM
WAITING FOR: Dust 514
what about walls? I for one would love to see a (skilled) assassin attempt an assassination in a dark alley and see if he gets away with it.
MMO wish list:
-Changeable worlds
-Solid non level based game
-Sharks with lasers attached to their heads
Why not just have your clan mates gank someone at the bank, then you walk up and loot the corpse. Yeah your clanmates noob toons will get smacked by guards. But that guy at the bank is executed and lootable. So towns not so safe if you do that, right?
I'm not sure but looting blue outside group or clan may turn you rogue.

So is this post about confirming what every DF fan had told you up until recently? That there was in fact safe zones (towns) and that it wasn't just going to be an endless deathmatch? Wow, thanks for the insightful post. I don't even know why I made this post. You won't get it anyway.
He would be hit by MULTIPLE guard towers. Completely destroying him, and the wall.
let me help you out...
Safe zone = WHERE YOU CANNOT BE ATTACKED
non Safe Zone = WHERE YOU CAN BE ATTACKED
could you hear that? get your facts straight..
*****************************
I have nothing clever to say.
ha ha, so we can all agree there is NO safezones in DF. The guards will only interfere AFTER you kill someone. And then its to late to matter.
If you asume you can 1 hit kill someone, then you are spot on.
If not, then you are completely wrong.
If you asume you can 1 hit kill someone, then you are spot on.
If not, then you are completely wrong.
How can this be so hard to grasp?
If you CAN attack anyone anywhere then there are no safe zones
If you CANNOT attack anyone anywhere then there are safe zones
Take this:
You are in a city with mulitple guardtowers all around you. You notice a group of 5 persons crowding you in.. whoooops.. 5 blows at the time, you die in 5 seconds, under this time the guardtowers have killed 1 of your attackers...
now do you get it?

What makes you think I was looking for something to "get"?
I just say it as it is. I'm not even commenting on safe zones. Just about if it is to late to matter or not.
I'm pretty sure you can not have your alignment changed by looting someone.

since the topic is that there are safe zones I assumed you where, silly me..

Topics tend to change a bit after each post, in te case of Darco it became about when guards attack someone and what it matters to the attacked player.
My reply was that he can be right about what he says and that he can be wrong about what he says, depending on the situation. (being able to 1 shot or not). In your example, he would be right.
He would be hit by MULTIPLE guard towers. Completely destroying him, and the wall.
Maybe if there is a skill like vanish in wow.
Two words : suicide ganking.
Five words : naked gang of suicide gankers.
19 words : gang of suicide gankers plus some friends remaining blue, helping to kill and loot the gankers then banking stuff
He would be hit by MULTIPLE guard towers. Completely destroying him, and the wall.
Maybe if there is a skill like vanish in wow.
There is no VANISH in Darkfall, you can not go invisible.
Not to defend Darkfail, but this is exactly how UO worked considering any protected town would result in insta hally rape by the "GUARDS help me i'm being oppressed!" if you attacked someone inside it.
Bans a perma, but so are sigs in necro posts.

It might be worth mentioning that "sources" have said the guards are not overly powerful in their current form. This could change of course, but it is undeniable that there are no safe zones in the game.
