If pvp interactions were limited to those who want to willingly participate in pvp then I would vote yes. However, since pvp interactions still include those who do not want to participate my vote is no. Hope that helped clear it up. 

I would like to achieve better gear, new skills and gold without leveling. I know, like PvP protection, there is an upgrade +1% xp toward the next level. Should I be able to opt out of leveling while achieving those things? PvP remains an integral component to the game. It needs to stay that way. It's what gives the game challenge!

You can, its called contributing money to the game...you can get FSP, with that purchase your shiny equipment, convert some FSP to gold and then sell the wonderful chest you got for more FSP and you don't have to level or hit anything at all. Piece of cake.

I voted yes. I'm not a gold hitter so giving me a bigger range to hit won't help me so much personally. Though it will open up options when it comes to hourly hitting.

 

If you increase the attack range though, it should work both ways. It's foolish to punish higher level players because they put the work into leveling. Especially when it is the higher levels working with less and less targets. 

 

PvP in this game needs an update. There have been too many detrimental changes in the last few years that need to be corrected.  But it isn't completely dead, yet. I'm hitting targets every week, and like I said above, I'm not one who hits for gold. It isn't as common as it use to be, but I've seen pages of bounties in the last few weeks, so you can't say they are never there.

 

 

So your satisfied with it as is? No changes aside from level range increase? :)

YOu heard it here first folks... no problem with system as is... no need to return to the old days... all is perfect (except for the level range)

 

Sadly, I expect to see better from you then this. We don't tend to see eye to eye on issues, but you're one that I can usually debate with without the silly nonsense some stoop too.  Guess that's what I get for thinking, huh?  You know that isn't what he was saying. Everyone agrees PvP needs some work to be done. This is a suggestion of ONE way to help.

Yes. However, the ranges need to be discussed, as well as ladder brackets and how they could possibly be affected. I'm all for more possible targets, but also PvP is how I've met many players. More to take a jab at or swing by and say hi! = possibly more interaction between people.

Isn't that what I said? I said both sides had issues. He disagreed. Funny you think my comment was worse then his. Plus I added a cute smiley face. Thanks for calling me out and not others.

The range is the least of the problems and to increase it without addressing anything else seems counterproductive. Do you agree the pvp system needs some work?

 Do you agree the pvp system needs some work?

The PvP system has needed an overhaul for years.  Changes in the range system is a good start.  Allowing us to choose how much prestige we use at one time is another.  The promised tournament system to fix the ladder then again another.  But we wait, and debate, and even bicker amongst ourselves, which is decidedly unproductive and just tends to build harsh feelings.  PvP has been broken for years, constantly being nerfed and further restricted.  Opening up the attack ranges for the higher levels would only increase PvP activity, which imho can only be good for the game.  There is where the challenges are anyway.... it's just not that hard to look up what you need to wear in the wiki and get buffed up to hunt.  With PvP, you gotta think and prepare, even if John Q. Victim is in epics... them things have a nice FS enhancement... has saved my derriere many times ;)

Voted no, Although I don't really see any point in giving a supporting reason.

 

If I don't say, "pvp rules, I love pvp because it is awesome." then someone will simply attempt to batter down my post with endless amounts of garbage and half-truths, I really don't have the time or inclination to get into another pointless pvp debate.

Then why post at all, Doomikins?  In hopes of a debate that isn't pointless, perhaps?

Because I voted, a vote without an accompanied post just gives credence to the notion that people have blindly voted, or voted without reason.

 

I have reasons, I just know that people will try to dismiss, discredit or call to question anything I write that is even remotely negative with regards to pvp.

 

There is no such thing as a pvp debate that isn't pointless. Over the years I have participated in countless versions of the same few debates that get brought up with a dishearteningly high frequency. They always without exception devolve into childish bickering and flame baiting.

 

(If HCS is actually serious about making changes to pvp they need to organise an official thread, one that someone from HCS is going to actively participate in.

It need to be LOCKED whenever HCS aren't around, with activity times for the thread posted clearly on the FS homepage.

Decisions made within the thread need to be made by HCS and HCS alone after listening to 'opinions' from a wide range of players not just the regular forum dwellers.

Without this happening nothing positive will ever come from a 'pvp thread' in these forums.)
