From today update:
Added to the descriptions of PEN (V) Boss Gear items obtained via the Guaranteed PEN (V) questline that having lower than 0 Karma will negate the item effects.

So I want back money and mats invested in these items. The total amount is slightly lower than or the same as the price of pen items in the market.

It cannot be so that people who incurred the same cost cannot kill others (I am not interested in pvp, but it is dishonest).

So now we have end game gear in open pvp game but we can't attack others players because our gear will be unusable and then we can't restore our karma because we have unusable gear.

So now Pearl Abyss has no choice: open pvp must be removed from the game.

Its like that since its release, thier just added in the item description cause people are unable to read patch note.

you can only blame yourself and your lazyness to not knowing that.

I don't see any information when creating these items that they differ from those in the market except that they cannot be sold.

Proof (new pen system patch notes):

ctrl+f karma. 

Also gm notes about new pen system:

No info about karma.

You should be permanently banned for such lies.

Yeah sorry. few week after thier added to season+ patch note. my bad. mea culpa

But its since day one its like that. kek.

And you would be ban for being so much a Karen. Specialy when you are the much,the biggest carebears anti pvp of the forum.

You really complain only to complain about insignificant things. you hate the game and you continue to play. there is a big problem.

This does not apply to the final PEN (V) Boss Gear.

So they should correctly state that the description will only appear on the reformed tet and not on the pen items because last pen item comes from quest. 

and Pearls Abyss can change things however they want. They owe you nothing, and you owe them nothing.


It's in the TOS.

It's because there is no recourse if you downgrade to TET from negative karma death. 

it is protecting you from making an unalterable mistake.
