PVP on the shard

Post by TheWatcher »

We should implement pvp on the shard........ LoL ok only joking!

Just had a thought and feel free to shoot me down for it.

I have in mind something like a pvp league. Now obviously there is a fair spread of players from the anarchy'd and rossi'd to the newer players. So straight up 1v1 Pvp is prolly a waste of time. Same can be said about guilds. Your lmc's vs say your lowlie wolfpack.

So I'm thinking get a collection of souls who are interested in such things then rank them based on a round of PVP. Then form up into groups based on those rankings. So for example if we get 20 interested parties we can split into 4 5 players teams. Rank 1,5,10,15,20 as one group. (not specific just as a base for thought). Then we can have weekly 5v5 pvp or 3v3 whatever the case may be.

Only reason I suggest this, I miss PVP battles where are participants were willing and it was a 10 on 10 battle royale! I don't miss the forum flamming, insults and para ganking. Maybe by taking the guild aspect out we can reduce the guild flamming that might occur. If we can get a group of players who understand it is just for fun, might turn out to be just that.

The only real way your gonna ever have any kind of player PVP form, is if you can convince Colibri to write down on his "To-Do" list (which is pretty long as it is) to make a real pvp ground... But just as you said,

End Result= PvP will never hold its ground here... Period...

I don't see this ever working unless everyone used basic armor/items

20 odds days til I get my charger! In that time I have yet to see a pvp tourney, closest I've seen is joust. I should have prefixed my early post by saying I do not in any way think there should be pvp outside of the pvp dungeon. Nor do I want to place any more work into the laps of overworked staff.

The idea was more based on 20 players having their own pvp fun within a set of parameters a sort of gentlemans agreement if you will, within the pvp dungeon. There would be no need for staff intervention.

As far as the inequality goes, it's why I considered a ranking system to try and even the odds.

Have no issue with people shooting me down. Was just an idea which floated somewhere behind my vacant eyes :)

Wasn't there a player ran PvP event in the PvP area not to long ago? I herd the staff kept an eye out there incase someone wanted to be a party crasher.

I wouldn't be taking part in any PvP, I just hated seeing it/doing it and turning what is a fun game for me into something not so fun. (Just how I feel ;))

If there is a small amount of players wanting to have an event like this then fair enough, I guess I just don't get the whole joining a non-PvP shard to want it.... beats me....

Well you could always do an elimination round event once a month to get a "Champion." Similar to a play-off tree format.

The Champion could get something equivalent to a wrestling belt they get to keep as Champion, but then once the next competition begins the Champion has to give up the item and fight again in another elimination round to find the next Champion.

The GMs can make the special item, but all in all the monthly PvP would be player run.

Just my $.02 worth. :D

But as with all events, they need to have enough player participation to keep going.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
