seen a few things that are like WTF. :shock: did my best to read thru this topic but late at nite here.
when it 1st went to this ' ladder ' style some liked it an others hated it. an it was also at one point a 99 lvl range of be able to hit for that got cut down in range. then got ' fixed ' yet again and few more times. just feels by time it is done ' fixing ' none of us will remember how it started out or even how it was half way to that point.
I tried the ladder long ago but as for myself I just didn't care for it, can get some nice items from playing ladder no doubt about that. but do I still PvP yep, not for ladder/ BB but for gold/ prestige.
the way it was during the 99 lvl range to attack I sorta liked an is sorta sounding like what is being mentioned here.
everyone basically started out with 1000 rating when ladder re-set there was no opt in/ out aspect on ladder. any target less then 7 days active could gain gold/ prestige and rating from a pvp hit which placed you on ladder either way in your attack range.
this is where starts getting odd
All these people claiming WE'RE the reason the BB is dead.. The reason its dead is because the pvp guild stick together and soft clear each other and STOMP anyone that dares to stomp them. What the BB needs is mandatory 100 stamina clears/every hit bountiable. If people know that placing a bounty has a guaranteed effect they will be a lot more placed...
Grossly inaccurate.
Out of my last 50 clears maybe 10% were from allied guilds. The simple fact that I remain in the Bounty Board for HOURS shows clearly that I am not asking my friends or allies to soft clear me.
so a mandatory max 100 stam hit for clearing/ every hit can be posted for a single PvP hit.
can get posted for a deflected hit
can get posted for a no xp/ gold loss on target
can get posted for a loss on attacking a target
and all in which get posted of ten 100 stam hits in which the one could CB( Counter Bounty ) a BH'er for each attack made to clear for ten bounty's of 100 stam's. :shock:
you want more punishment for 1 hit that takes at MAX 10% of a level? we lose 2x that on a 10 stam clear...and 50x for a true deleveling party...that sounds fair to me
For one hit? No, and that was nearly never the case (unless it was an old score being settled). Don't muddy the waters of how that was used.
I have known a few that had this happen to them, one did a min 10 stam hit and another gotten deflected on attacks an they had a 5 lvl party on them over it.
but a target up on BB a BH'er doesn't know most of the times why they are posted if they are offline. but yet they can be posted as well no matter if is was a soft clear or a party clear as a CB.
I never pvp'd until 400. I'd been hit a bunch before then, irritated me but shrugged it off. At 400 I was repeatedly hit.I got ticked, talked to a friend and realized its a game.I decided to dabble in bounty hunting due to it and try it a bit. I met gravely, and gold hit someone first time ever and i got smashed for it..we both did. It was FUN.
PvP lets players who otherwise would never meet in the lands of fs, interact with one another. it's not always sunshine and daisies. Sometimes you tick someone off and make a lifetime enemy, sometimes you make a friend..or maybe nothing happens.You might get stomped..you might not.Thats the thrill of it. Someone can take revenge on you for your "evil" deeds. I find it exciting.
You can defend friends and allies who have been wronged. Buffing one another, clearing one another..fighting along side one another, and losing levels for one another. I;ve been in guilds where some don't pvp much or at all. And i've seen them pick up their swords and decide to lose levels for their fellow guildies in the name of justice or to defend ones honor, which makes one proud. Why? because they cared. It's the most exciting aspect of the game and the most risky.
major +1 to ya there :wink:
also it was mentioned someplace else on a structure for guilds to build for ' teaching ' fellow guildmates PvP aspect w/o risk of gold/ xp loss on this in house. this would let players that haven't done that a way to learn about it and be able to better self protect themself in gear from being hit.
and reason why Hoof might not be answering is maybe cause he is out of office and/ or might be sleeping at his home. the Hoof does not need to be here 24/7/365, geez :roll: if he has to then guess ones griping he hasn't answered try being here 24/7/365
