Visible Repeat Attack Counter

[pinpower]

I think what you're failing to understand is that if you don't know you've already hit someone, there is no way you can know if it's a repeat attack or not. Every attack you go on is a gamble. It might be a repeat attack or it might not. You only know afterwards when you see you've lost 40 honour.

Playing honourable is a playstyle that is now available and IMO a good thing to be encouraged. As toby says atm you can try and be honourable on an attack when in reality (or as far as the game is concerned) you are being dishonourable by attacking that person. This would enable you to always attack honourably if you so wish, which again IMO is a good thing!

anything that promotes repeat attacking, no.

It does the complete opposite of this. At the moment I may find a good target in my 70% range that I actually attacked a couple of weeks ago but dont remember doing so. As it is now regardless of whether i am trying to attack honourably or not i will attack this person.

If this is brought in, in the same scenario if i am trying to play honourably i will not attack that person, as i can see i have a repeat attack counter on him.

Rather than having a thing saying when you attacked them, just have it say "You have attacked this player X times"

That way you don't know if the counter is active or not, but you know it's a repeat attack.

Not to mention the fact that players who repeat attack intentionally know exactly who they've hit - so having this added won't change anything.

This could be something in the ID tooltip to the extent of "You currently have a repeat attack counter on this ID" or it could be a seperate page with all the IDs you currently have repeat attack counters on.

That's about the fifth time someone's said that

I interpreted their way of phrasing it as something SLIGHTLY (albeit very slight) different.

I believe the general idea was just an indicator saying that if you attacked this target, you would lose honour for repeat attacking; not an actual value, or the actual number or how long until it goes away.

fair enough, I think because of the bit where it said "you will lose honour" implied that the marker would disappear when it does go away.

But if it doesn't, that would be ideal imo

tim has the best idea as having something saying "you are a treacherous ne'erdowell who has attacked this fair player previously"

but as to having a number i dont think so. I think having a buffer time as well so the message will still appear for a time even after the counter has dropped to 0.
