Fighting other players instead of fighting creatures is preferable if you're aiming for leveling up. If you want to upgrade your gear by farming for gold, items and/or materials fighting with creatures is recommended.
In Degony there is no death penalty, so if you die you don't lose any of your items or experience. The only thing you lose is the fact that you used some of your skills in combat, but you haven't gained any experience at the end of the fight.
Every time you win/lose a PvP fight, the score will be kept in your character screen.
If you want to attack someone which is more than 2 levels lower than you or you are in party with more members than the others, they will get a notification of your attack. Only if they agree to it the battle starts.
Anti-spam and anti-exploit measures will be added soon:
In combat you can choose your weapon (primary or secondary) and what skill or usable item (potion, scroll, etc) you want to use when your turn is on.
