Anti pvp? Lack of excitment

Post by A Black Death »

I suggest we allow guild wars or Chaos/order guild fighting in tram and turn off hostile orange in fel to prevent champ raiding
the reason i suggest is for the players that Only like to pvp (non crafter/pvmers) wouyld have some kind of vent and the players that Dont like pvp wouldnt have someone cutting off their heads, Simple choice you join a chaos order guild you know that the opponent guild type might kill you, but you also know you might get a chance to chase them thru the woods sending spells and shooting arrows poison daggars at them until they die or better yet get to boast that they said the infamous words " i resign from my guild" the ultimate tap out, the heart beat and addrenline rush is enough to keep even the most bored players around longer and happily entertained even if they only get 1 scruffle a week that Hunt for oranges is always better than fighting something with AI and the people on both sides of the fence here should come to terms and understand what i suggest is simply for those WHO want to get into a fight they have a way to do so Without affecting those who dont *(non chaos/order) so please consider this and read carefully to my suggestion =D

I was very sad when I found out I cannot war other guilds on our server. I would settle with chaos vs order battling in fel

might be nice having the old guild wars, i can remember trying to blast thru a public guild castle trying to get as many of the others as we could before we got banned or blasted and trying to keep the others out of our tower while throwing blades down from the roof. not to mention the sea battles.

Before this turns into another essay contest:

It's already been discussed, there's a 6 page thread with lots of discussion about the meaning of life. In the polls i think.

FACT IS: If there's some PvP, we the staff get lots more disputes to handle. A shard can either be pure PvM or pure PvP. I know that the majority of the players who would want to PvP are in it for the sport, but there will also be those few who will ruin the fun for everyone else.

Absolutely love the idea, cuz this dung pvp sucks. No point of it until its a measuring swords with others: no teamplay, no town fights, no funny moments, no any point.
I was very sad when I found out I cannot war other guilds on our server
I become sad when in some days after creating account i found out there's no pvp at all! :o You say "pvp dungeon"? I say lmao. :) There's no doors, no rooms, no roofs, no trees in that dungeon.
Excuse me for my English.

Yeah I'll agree that the PVP dungeon is pretty lame, like playing paintball with no obstacles.

Why not to discuss it once again? If you, staff, not gonna make any pvp here, why not to say as it is.
That thread was about pvp with some special rules (RULES? WAT?!) and again in some special shrine, where you would click a special object that would give you a special gump with all special details and all special rules about PvP (WAT?), this one is about guild wars.

That idea was prompted by an order player being killed in town while afk and looted. There was an issue over them not knowing what order/chaos was about or something.

Anyway it was a very good pvp proposal that was shot down by most of the server!! If you read all the posts on that thread again it should become very clear there is no point in discussing it any further. It will only end up in another 6 page or more war on the forums that spills into the game.

And before you jump to the conclusion that I'm against pvp or order/chaos you couldn't be farther from the truth!! I'm just a realist..... :roll:

This shard is not tuned - balanced for pvp. You can have up to 10 pets with 1000 str, 1000 hp. Also, you can have peices combined toghetter to give stupidly high mods, if you donate 50$ a pop. Third party programs are permitted (targeting, auto healing, etc.). There is even nothing written about speedhacks (and UO pvp is mainly drived by the speed at wich you can move: ie: can't hit what you can't catch).

Also, being a familly shard, people as young as 8 years old play this game, and some are afraid when they see players fights in public areas.

Not to mention that some stuff is broken here. For example, you can parry with a bow in hands. Even with bushido, Stratics mentions that parry is reserved for MELEE WEAPONS.

Of all players who could bring up such a request, why am I not surprised that the one bringing it up has donated several hundred dollars in the last few months and has jackals collar mods on many of his armor peices (+15 dex), for probably (not tested), 1 second bandages and shooting the slowest weapon (yets the highest damage ouput) at max speed?

If you want to kill stuff with "God mode" turned on, i suggest that that you get the game DOOM and type IDDQD.

People that know me know i looooove pvp. But no way this should be implimented on this shard. At least, in the pvp dungeon, you can stipulate rules with the person you wish to fight (no pets, gm armor, no clerical spells, no summons, for example).

Not that I particularly care one way or another, but his stance on PVP hasn't changed. This isn't new, his stance was the same as it is now before he learned more about the game.

And you might want to keep speculation on other's donations, when you assume you make an [-] out of you and me.
