More Active PvP
#1
Posted 14 December 2012 - 00:26
We've been taking a look at PvP and feel that it should be more active as it's an important part of the game. One of the main issues with PvP currently seems to be the PvP Protection Upgrade which discourages PvP due to the high amount of gold protection it offers.
In our opinion, the main purpose of PvP Protection is to prevent xp loss from PvP and the gold protection is an added bonus. PvP Protection reduces the purpose of the bank and also prevents gold being sunk via PvP.
Therefore, we feel it would make sense remove the gold protection from the upgrade, reduce the Fallen Sword Point cost of it and also add a new gold upgrade which will allow you to activate PvP Protection for 24 hours.
Thoughts?

Hi all,
We've been taking a look at PvP and feel that it should be more active as it's an important part of the game. One of the main issues with PvP currently seems to be the PvP Protection Upgrade which discourages PvP due to the high amount of gold protection it offers.

Under the assumption that a lot of new players don't stick around because of being continually hit for gold (which I've heard many a time), perhaps tweak the above idea slightly - something akin to :-
Level 1-100 -> Leave PvP protection exactly as it is now (other than lowering the 24 hr protection fee to gold)
Level 100+ -> As per your suggestion but just lower the amount of gold protected by 50% - so, 5K / Level with BUT with a maximum of 2.5 million, regardless of level.
This suggestion, I think, should appease the PvP'rs (MUCH more gold available for them) and will severely limit those market place manipulators, "controlling" the price of FSP's.
Given you intend changing PvP protection, I assume that any hits made with PvP protection active will be bountyable ??

MOST of your PvP players have already jumped ship and are inactive now. I've also noticed with this game,, you are either a pvper or your a leveler. most players are not both.
My thought is to make it somewhat more interesting..
I'm not sure what is needed but this change will have little to no impact on your proposal.
Also, the ability to bounty someone 10x because they hit you 10x destroyed PvP as well.
Change it back to being able to only bounty 1x regardless of how many attacks. that might revive PvP again. You can maybe get someone to loss 1 level with 10 100 stams. but being able to bounty that player 10 times gives that player the ability to loss 50 levels.. not fair at all..

I dont really use this upgrade, but A LOT of the people use it so they just can not be PVPed period. so if you made it to where they can be pvped for gold you are likely to upset a lot of people
i can see upset arising too,
i would say protecting gold isnt what it is for but i dont know if this would really increase pvp activity anyway, those with protection will likely not hold the gold they were.

Do it and upset some people.I dont really use this upgrade, but A LOT of the people use it so they just can not be PVPed period. so if you made it to where they can be pvped for gold you are likely to upset a lot of people
Dont do it and upset some other people.
Someone's always gonna get upset. This suggestion seem to be a middle ground, with the good of the game in mind, and not peoples feelings.

I don't recall people leaving at all at the time because of goldhits, because as there were no restrictions on it the playing field was much larger, but retaliation was much more interesting and BB was thriving, but with xp loss for losers, and no restrictions there for levels either.
So anything that will bring it closer to how it was when a lot of us joined, for me is a good thing.
I do think ONE thing should be taken away completely though, and that is the gold showing on people.
Thieves can and should do some looking around to find their targets, just getting presented with a list takes away activity, and any kind of reducing activity is bad imo, people already are not present enough.
