PvP area returns!

[neko kyouran]

You've made this rather irritating post in two different places, ....

issue rectified.

Wow Zanzibar, You were way off base on what I meant. I Would actually be part of the group responsible for PROTECTING the newer and less abled citiizens from thugs or bullies.  May I recomend some Lithium for you.

[Narure]

Thugs are just misunderstood.

can we focus on the pvp area and how to improve it rather than taking issue with each other?

I didn't misunderstand you.  You see yourself as someone who is protecting citizens, but I see you as someone who is simply protecting a spawn point.  And you're doing it in a way that breaks with the spirit of the game.  Using a group of people to monopolize an area?  Following around and picking on anyone who competes for the mob?  I've seen you in action.  You aren't a warrior.  Thug might not be an entirely polite word to use, but it's far more accurate.

I don't see how this discussion isn't focussed on the pvp area.  The way people use the pvp area is key to the discussion.

Perhaps all it needs is a really good name such as Domicile of Dissension, Chamber of Contention or Foyer of Fools.

Throughout history, many different societies have provided faily brutal amusement as an outlet for aggression.

Maybe the Octarchs approve of this one place where everyone can fight, rather than duels in the plaza that seem to be happening with more frequency. I could even see them hiring the Dlayo specifically to eliminate the less law abiding members of society.

As far as mechanics, there is the loophole where people stand in the doorway, shoot arrows and run. Really more of a nuisance as if you can't take a few arrow shots you probably should never have stepped in the the PvP room. I can see small groups of adventurers hiring experienced guards to watch their backs against these pests while the group focuses on the Dlayo.

I'd have a suggestion for the pvp-area. Attacking someone inside should result in a duell, so it can continue outside of the area. Otherwise people can jump onto the walls from the stands, attack with magic, and jump back onto the stands. The player inside gets damaged, but can't attack the person on the stands, as the person there is outside of the pvp area.

[Narure]

yeah Donari is a genius.

bilbous how about gladiator kill fields which it is now named (read the walls man)

[bilbous]

Hmm I saw nothing readable on the wall outside and have not spent enough time inside to notice. I'll have to look again. To be really good it should be alliterative such as Gladiator Goring Grounds. 

I think you must be pulling my leg. I'm standing here looking and still see nothing. Is it because I use Linux?

right click to inspect bilbous

[bilbous]

Hmm okay I was expecting a plaque or some other type of signage to click on, my mistake then. There are precedents for the method used such as the plaza stones or Trasok's grill where Gregori stands so If I had been on the ball I should have figured it out.

[ThomPhoenix]

Don't know if you noticed it already but:

Also committing remedy to Hit and Run attacks in the PvP area.  Now you can attack
anyone who has done you damage, whether either of you is still in a PVP area or not,
so it is useless to run outside the area.

[bilbous]

We will have to look out for that. I wonder how long it lasts, 1 hour, 10 minutes, until you logout but surely not permanently.
