Hello good afternoon!
Im Acosta Cabrera on the game, im still new only 115 days on this shard and i want to say thanks because the shard is awesome!
I have only one suggestion and its in regards of PVP. I was told that the only place to make PVP is a PVP Dungeon. I was wondering if the admins and the comunity agrees, if its posible to make PVP available at least at a determined city or place. Or make some kind of Chaos - Order PVP. And only the Guilds that want to join the PVP war can join.
Let me know your thougths!

well if your in a guild you can pvp with permission. this comes up at least once every 4 months or so, but in reality they won't have the pvp because there are young children who play. they may not like the fact people are killing other people. i agree with them on that. but what i would like to see if a tally from the pvp dungeon kind of a ranking system.

i'll pvp you anytime you want, and because i'm nice i'll even throw in 15 million if you can beat me in single combat in the pvp dungeon

.
all good i would love to see a ranking system, but it's +Colibri's house and we have to follow the law of the land.

The only problem with pvp on this shard,is all the stuff you cant get on a reg shard.Do you think you could beat a person with 1 sec heals,400+hp,220+dex,non stop special moves,etc....Even if you mortal them to death by that time your dead.And if you got 2 people like this fighting,its a matter of running out of banaids or they get bored.
Ive been in the pvp area and you can tell who got the gear,either you kill them in 10 secs or under or they kill you.I never donated,but i have 3 relayers and i have fought some of the heavy hitters on this shard and i didnt even tickle them with my weapons.
Either you have over 5000 ed worth of stuff on,or your dead.
Now,if they made it like events you go in naked and your are given set items where the field is even.Then you could have pvp.Only difference would be 20 or so hp,dex,int or whatever your stats are naked.Then that would be good pvp,and come down to skill not gear.

PVP has always been about gear 80% of the time,long ago in UO they had 5/6 casting you couldnt beat that,unless you gank them or have the same.
When i left UO,i was pretty much well unstopable.I had 186hp 3 sec heals,2 sick weapons.First dismount you,then go in wolf mode and chase you down with a magical shortbow with 40 swing 50 light 50 velocity 48 stam leach 37 mana leach.I would hit the average person 40+ points every 1.25 secs.I would win 99% of my fights.Handfull of people could beat me.And they would be 3x gimp as i was.I could fight up to 6 people at once and win.
Bring that same pixel on this shard,wouldnt do much at all.The gear wouldnt match up at all.If, you brought say
Anarchy to Alantic shard.He would never loose a fight,unless he got ganked by 10+people.Thats how much gear comes into play.
Again,if you made the pvp shard where you go in naked and had set weapons/gear then the playing field would be almost equal.

I'd rather the devs work on other things like PvE content etc. I came here to get away from the PvP shards that spend most of their time on developing for that aspect. The next think you know, you have "special" gear and drops that are PvP only and I don't want to see that. JMHO.

I always liked pvp shards as well. I came here totally different type of shard and I love the shard and has great staff and players. And I can see people leaving/complaining about being killed in town and what not. If anything more pvp stuff in pvp area. Like mentioned above the way stuff helps you in game can stink during pvp. Maybe make it to where a new pvp area but when you go inside it.. it strips all your good stuff off and keeps you basic like 125 of each stat and no instant healing and what not(normal pvp shard stuff).

How about making the PvP Dungeon non-'Recallable' (including those silly Bracelets of Binding) and changing the gate(s) to enter into those ones which send all of your items to the bank. Spawns of armor, weapons, reagents, bandies, etc. can be scattered around the dungeon, or even just the basic gear can be provided when you enter the gate, with maybe artifact items spawning around instead.

In addition to the other arguments against pvp, I would like to add that it causes grudges and bad blood between players quite a bit. I have seen a very friendly and cooperative relationship among most players here. I wouldn't want that to change.

personally i like the go naked spawn stuff on ground. go scavenger/dress macro go woot. i think that would be a lot of fun. + i have to agree with mule. a lot of this game after age of shadows is about the gear, and a little bit of knowledge. took me awhile to think up my pvp weapon. i wanted to be able to do mortal strike with armor piercing, and i wanted it in 1 shot. that's pretty much the only thinking involved with pvp here. i do pvp on other shards (pre-aos) which is a lot of fun. you have to keep in mind line of sight also when pvping. used to have a land fix so it cut down lag and reduced trees to stumps. lol
also.... i agree with albino.... it sometimes brings bad blood to that game.

I am not a fan of PVP either....but I will like to test my skills with other players. All these players that are saying ' yay ' to PVP are mostly veterans that have done it all in EX and they are looking to have fun beyond the regular mob bashing. Besides, all PVP duels happens at the PVP dungeon and does not spill out to towns or either facets.
I would agree that to even up the field one would go in naked and when inside the dungeon you then have a selection of gear/wep that you can choose. And most importantly keep it fun and professional (e.g no name calling or diminishing attitude)
