I'm sure this has been suggested at some point. But, I swear, I did a search and couldn't find anything specific.

So...why is this list so useless? I seem to recall it being a whole lot more useful back in the day.

Just awhile ago...player "shana" showed up on my list. Repeatedly. I kept refreshing, in hopes that it would go away, to no avail. I come back an hour later to check again...still there.

"Attack Recently Online Player"...operative words being "recently" and "online". So unless "recently" is referring to some point in the past 6 months...this obviously does not apply to shana.

This list, used to show random players within your 5-level attack range, and I'm nearly positive that it used to mix it up a whole lot more. Now...it apparently only lists players of your exact virtual level, and it lists the exact same 5 players for hours at a time at least, as far as I can tell.

So what's up with that, seriously? Especially at higher levels, there are only so many people of your exact virtual level. For this reason alone, I would think having a list of anyone within your 5 level range, would be reasonable. I also find it a bit ridiculous that this list never seems to change, or only -extremely- infrequently. If I had to guess, I would say it only changes when either yourself or someone on the list...actually gains a level.

And if I had my way, this list would just be longer in general...10/15/20/25 names. I mean why not?

Even some sort of sorting option would be great. As in...list the highest PvP or Gold, at the top of the list. I doubt that will ever happen, just a thought. Thanks for listening.

yea...it seems only during levels 1-6 does that list actually seem to work.

Needs to be a longer list as Kel suggests, say up to 20 people. Also within the +/- 5 levels not just same level and updating or changing if not on a refresh, at least on a much more regular basis, say minute by minute. Hell, why stop at recently online, why not make it random.


I agree completely.

If this happens, though, I think that something else might have to be done (if the bounty board were fixed, somehow...) to fix PvP a bit more.

if it cycled the players at a set interval(5 mintues or so) it woul dbe more useful to all players, and also i agree that it should show those that are attackable by the person looking at the list

imo the list should refresh with new players in your range to attack every few minutes.

Note also we've been looking through the forum for good game suggestions and will be doing an update with many of them in the very near future :)


Really hope this is one of those "good game suggestions"...

even if they kept it at the same VL you are, if it refreshed everytime you did, like with FSBox and featured guild, that would be great. That in itself would be a huge step.

It used to work ok... then sometime after I hit 140 or 200 I started to notice it is only showing people that are my level... at that time there weren't even 5 people my level... so I would only see 1 - 4 people... some levels I'd see nobody...

I think you should be able to attack any player within 100 points of your PvP range ...no matter there lvl .

I PvP ...so i am willing to gear up and prepare for a fight with a high lvl ..or a player like myself ...but at the same time ...i dont think you should be aloud to attack off line players . they should be on line to defend and counter . bouties of course can be cleared at any time ..

sorry for rambling on

I dont think i have ever used this feature. At my lvl (which is not that high) it shows the same people and all at the same level as mine.

I say why not make it any random player who is +/- your current level, and regardless of when they have been online. Increase to 20 from 5 players to choose from. :D

...just my two cents :wink:

I like the ideas. I do think the list needs to be more random. I ended up on the list when I was lower level and got attacked a lot for the first few days I played. It needs to spread out the levels and add more people.

I think the +/- 10 is a great idea for people over level 200, but under level 200 there is way to much chance for abuse. I know if a level 60 hit a level 50, or a level 10 hit a level 1 there is no chance for the lower level player to really hit back and win.

i mentioned this in a random thread too. Definitely needs attention. The list seems to stay there as long as no one in your list levels or if you don't level. I've only seen it change when I level up.
