maybe some scavenging in the caves over the weekend and global next week lets ppl build stam

This is good..... make it so, Boss

 this could be the compromise to make this thing happen.

only problem i can see with this is, if a lower person attacks a higher level its like a free hit, if the higher cant hit back..the attacked player should always  be able to hit back..

 

a way round it could be, leave it as -10 levels, but change the + levels to the ranges in first post...

but if someone is attacked by a lower level from outside the -10 level range there has to be an option added to allow the attacker to hit back..they cant initiate a fight with a lower level out of range but can retaliate.

This could tie in with Jedi's tag back in lieu of bounty option. Which I also think in essence is a basically good idea.  

One more question.... out of the average of 400 players online at any given time, exactly how many of us PvP?  How many visit this forum, speak in global chat, interact with anyone outside of their guild?  I see the same people, day in, day out, and I don't know 400 players, at least I don't think I do.  PvP affects the entire community..... ALL of us, not just you or me.  I have no clue how many actually play the whole game.... not nearly enough though.  "Levelers" get so much... gear and buffs for the most part are designed for them.  Let "PvPers"  have this. 

When the ranges were first set, no one had yet reached level 200. Years ago, when the ranges were expanded to +/-10 for 200+,  EoC was <1000.... IMHO, the ranges need to be expanded to keep up with the times, plain and simple.  I see this in no way to be unfair.  For me to have 25 targets, albeit the same folks, and for my friend who is lvl 24xx to have a handful at most is horribly unfair to them.  A new expansion for PvP ranges is long overdue.... Do it please, it needs to be done like yesterday.  

As long as I can replenish my frags, idc if they're cockroaches, I'll kill them all.... Just give us a few days to collect some stam for them.... Begin Friday Lunch, last till Monday Lunch?  Sound good to everybody else?

If those with all those tokens, who have been holding them, waiting for something they deem good enough to come along, want to buy out the place, more power to them.  They have put in the work, and waited somewhat patiently for something they feel has value.  As for values rising or dropping, this is how the free enterprise system works, prices on everything fluctuates according to supply and demand.  These things make for a healthy economy.  And the economy in Erildath needs a shot in the arm.  Ladder prizes aren't all that hot....  I say the arena pros  deserve to rule the roost.... they did all the work after all... all that math...

MS, with the token system in place, the cap is really obsolete.  It's not like the old days where the gold prizes or what have you could be dominated by the right guild.  With us being able to choose our prizes at our leisure, and with activity so low, more competition is needed, if nothing else to keep the arena moving so new tourneys can spawn.  As it is now, it's stagnated, and I really don't know how serious arena players can tolerate that.  

Sorry about "soft clears",  Pardoux, just doing my job, after all

Yeah, that would cut down on some of the grousing, Gomez.... but there will always be that one person......

The constant bickering... Please please please, if you must bicker, there are these things called private messages, either here or in game.  Have a lively conversation, more power to you, but personally, I'm sick of seeing everybody acting like they're 10 years old and in the school yard.   

#End Rant

I play the arena occasionally.  There are seldom tourneys I can enter, and when there are, they fill slowly.  The arena is a haunted place, and like the bounty board, appears to be slowly dying from a lack of activity.  I think the rule has run its course.  There can't be that many out there left that would cheat to claim these "big prizes" available to us now.  Why not try a trial run without the restriction, and if it needs to be returned, then do so.

I asked BigGrim about the top 100 monthly just last week.  He said he would have it looked into soonest... I think we're waiting on Zorg...

Aww, Wazzi, you know you always have my heart <3

For once I will agree with you.

 

What isn't dead are players lying down when you tap them for what you think will be a simple Prestige hit. On some yes they will let it go or best yet hit back, but be careful. Players are still getting dropped 5 for 10 stam hits or even a deflect, then they play the forum, or bio, or Shoutbox warrior reaction which quite honestly just adds fuel to the fire. But I encourage players to continue playing the victim role, we need plenty of them to keep the game going.

I've lost my share of levels from prestige and I am more often as not a level or two down when I start my hunt.  It's a hassle, but par for the course.  I can accept that.  I can accept a 10 stam tag back as well.  Losing 5 levels for a 10 stam prestige hit or deflected attack is lame, though. It's one thing if I stole your gold, or smashed you on the board for no reason, but the punishment should fit the crime, and being hammered for a simple prestige hit is excessive and just not nice.  Some folks take that 80K XP and the handful of gold that they lost to me way too seriously, though, and even some are under the impression that when I get 10 Prestige points, that they lose them....  Guys, you can only earn the prestige, and only by PvP... You can never lose them till you use them   

Just my opinion here, so please, don't accuse me of whining (yeah, I hear you thinking it).  

Anytime you buy something, no matter where on the planet you live, any applicable taxes apply.  In most cases, these taxes are precalculated into the price, but in others, they are added at the end.  This is a part of adult life.  It's not the cows fault if they have to add on a tax, they have to follow the same rules as any other business.....
