PvP system

Post by blaze »

What is the PvP system in icesus like. Or is it simply who can kill the other person faster placing emphasis on stats rather than skills? Do you think the PvP system needs to be changed?

Well there isn't that much PvP in Icesus because players damages are scaled for monsters HP therefore you kill players fast since the damage output is huge, it wouldn't be even interesting (though it makes lots of people happy if they manage to kill someone if they run into your area spell by accident) but if it would be the other way around, things would be totally different and then we have the nether effects what you get when killing a player (doesn't apply in Graemor)

Though there is Graemor and its surrounding areas/ow rooms where you can kill players on sight, Gladiator event where damages are halved to make it more interesting and one other PK-Event (Haven't seen that one in a while though)

Also read 'Help player killing' to get a quick overview of things involved in PK.

The more exp/eq whatever you have the better you can kill other players, not really skill involved imho.

Over and out.
Embracing the darkness is the only solution to this madness.

PvP is limited to the Kingdom of Graemor and city defending, which means it is almost never used. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, as in Icesus if a highbie decided to swing at you, you'd be dead. Or, if a highbie decided to swing at another highbie, it's pretty much ineffective since they can just run away before any damage is done.

Anyways in my opinion it doesn't need to be changed too much, if at all. If people want to fight, they just go there or to the arena. And if they want to piss people off, they join Atherton or Cenedoiss and city defend.

Would PvP only skill make the pvp system better?

No it wouldn't. This is a flowerpowerhappyhappyjoyjoyland and we don't need regular pvp.
