PvP would be much more interesting if you couldn't see stats, just level. That's a decent idea, and would make the ladder more (slightly) realistic.

As for being attacked offline, thems the breaks. Think of it this way: Just because you go to sleep in your home doesn't mean you can't be attacked. Someone could break into your home and get you while you're asleep.

Pleasant dreams! :P

*edit to say* My advice for you is to forget the random pvp attack and concentrate on leveling, unless pvp is your thing. at your level, people attack the heck out of each other for gold all of the time. Never carry a lot of gold on you. Make your deposits, and if you still have too much, go to the AH and bid on something. (Plan your gear a few levels ahead, and buy gear accordingly). Once you get 100k in gold saved, buy a fsp, and use that to buy bounty tickets. Then you're set to punish someone who attacks you.

Just wanted to say i'm really dissapointed with the Pvp aspect of this game. not only can you view your target (or be viewed) but you can check their stats and equipment. so you can easily pick weaker targets. to top it all you can be attacked while offline.

i've only been playing a few days and my opinions are based soley on my experiences so far. does anybody else out there have a more experienced opinion.. or any opinion at all?

Thats actually part of the beauty of it. In the higher levels, there are so many different setups that give you such a different stat distribution that it actually makes you think when you want to beat someone's setup. You have to think about how to configure your own armor to overcome someone else's. Its actually quite interesting. And if you don't know already...

Attack must be > Defense for you to even land a hit

Damage must be > Armor for you to hit more than 1

Damage must be > Armor + HP for you to kill/defeat whatever you are fighting.

also to add to your complain,pvp gets WAYYYY more assasination-like when you get to higher levels.most people around level 100s(people above usually know to use defense gears while offline)wear training gears when offline,and training gears usually specialized in lots of damage and not alot of defense/armor.which means since the attacker gets to make the first strike,98% of the time you get killed on the first hit even if you have way better stat,simply because is their attack/damage VS your defense/armor and not other way around

yes it's all part of the game, but what about the people that go out of their way to over-react to something as simple as being attacked for a few pvp points, here's an example of what I mean:

I attacked player X, in player Xs profile it said attack me and send back the gold or player Y will rain down 100 stamina attacks upon you. I attacked player X and sent them gold for repairs even though player X had ZERO gold when I attacked, later I get a message from player X asking what I thought I was doing by attacking them because I clearly hadn't read their profile correctly. so I looked again at Xs profile to find out X had changed it to just say that ALL attacks would now merit the 100 stam hits from player Y. to make a long story short, I was harassed for an apology which I never gave, player Y started messaging my guild leader and dragged him into it, all because I took a few pvp points. :shock:


1. Tell the player X to talk to the hand coz the face aint listening

2. Tell the player Y: So effin what? Talk to the hand coz the face aint listening.

3. Attack players X & Y multiple times on the hour, every hour.


I promise, it will be fun. :twisted:

although some valid points are raised, the simple truth of the matter is this...

you cannot lose in pvp.

and yes, i'm sure there will be a dozen people showing a dozen different scenarios in which a pvp attack can be lost, all of which will be contrived. the simple fact of the matter is that hcs may as well rename "pvp" to "click attack and win". there is no set that cannot be defeated, no way to defend, and your chances of even surviving the first hit are as ridiculously low as <2%. ld and defl are pretty much useless for generic pvp, and in general, you are simply at the mercy of whoever decides to hit you. someone is hitting you every hour, on the hour, every day? tough, nothing you can do will even give you the slightest chance of surviving.

to be frank, get used to it. i've complained about it since day 1 and nothing is ever done about it. pvp is pointless, it is unchallenging and boring, there is no risk, no excitement, just ever more pvp for ever smaller amounts of gold, even pvp points have become pointless, they are bought and sold on a daily basis, traded simply because someone can afford them, not because they have any skill in obtaining them, all to see "yay, you win" on the screen. until HCS start looking at the areas of the game that need improvement, instead of focusing on making yet another set of map tiles, you're pretty much stuck with it.

just yet another case of pandering to the lowest common denominator.

I would recommend joining a guild SurReal1, make sure its one with plenty of guild structures to boost your stats and friendly players who will give you cheap / free buffs. It will make you a lot less appealing as a target for Rogues and it will help you level faster, which will get you through certain PVP 'hot spots' faster.
