Outlaw Change

So according to patch notes

"On PvP servers, the Outlaw skill now toggles. When you turn it on, it will stay on until you toggle it off."

So there is no more infamy, if outlaws can now toggle off outlaw status? So what happens if you are fighting an outlaw and they just toggle it off mid fight? Or if they are ganking newbies and their guildmates show up to take out the outlaw, can they just turn it off?

Can someone please explain to me what exactly this change entails?

I'm guessing that they are still permaflagged, just not by choice. It's probably for the people that want to have their flag on for extended periods of time to just go out and have some fun without having to flag on all the time, but they'd be free to flag off whenever they're done. It also limits the lowbie ganking a bit I think, although I suspect we'll still see PKKers "protecting" low level zones and killing any low level PvP the levelers try to do there.

It's not that hard to figure out man. Infamy is still in game and once an outlaw's infamy reaches down to zero again you are then allowed to toggle it off. That is all that it means.

I figured common sense would dictate that only players that have 0 infamy would be able to use this new "toggle off" function.

I think this is a way to prevent people from farming infamy just to stay outlawed.

Aside what the original poster has asked being common sense and all...

What about the people such as myself, who just enjoy pking others around the same level (within 5 levels) to get no infamy? Does this mean we'll be able to just turn off Outlaw mode, or like I'd only imagine, will there be some kind of a cooldown, when we end up killing another player around the same level?

If there is no cooldown on toggling this, I have no complaints... I just expect without one, this system will be used, and abused like a... Well, you get the point.

i'm worried about healer abusing this.

heal a red -> turn red automatically -> turn off manually right away (wouldnt even have battle mode on for healing)

i see potential abuse or bug...

Instead of having to sacrifice a poor noob to the dark lords of infamy, this hopefully will let you stay pvp enabled untill you decide to turn off. Ofcourse there will still be the 1-2minute cd for pvp that there is now.

Here is my guess. You turn it on, and you have to be out of combat for 1 minute to turn it off(kinda like how it is now accept not automatic).

I think this is a good change.

Pretty stupid change, just not have an outlaw system at all at this point and just let everyone kill everyone. Tho that wouldn't be a great fix ether but seeing that there is still no debuffs from getting infamy there is really no point to have any type of outlaw system at all, and that really the only PvP is the GvGs and now they are on PvE servers is there any point to a PvP server now? Just going around ganking? and at will people can turn it off now, I see this being abused to the point of stupidity. Tho PvP in this game is worthless and stupid in general and EME just keeps making it worse, not better.

Tera is a Joke of a Game at this point.
