PVP League - season 1

[Brett]

I don't even have a pvp worthy character since I'm new to the shard and know absolutely no one, but here's my two cents.

From a purely logical standpoint, the only rules which make sense are 1v1 anything goes. This way, no one can complain.

The problem with trying to regulate duels is you always end up favoring one person (usually unintentionally).

Just keep things simple. Anything goes 1vs1. Tell people to come prepared. Sure, some dudes will roll in with vanq dp'd weps. Np, everyone had plenty of time to prepare themselves. Those who didn't are simply poor pvpers.

I think it's really silly when a dude gets owned by a dexer and then calls him a no skill noob for not using Mage 5x exclusively. Bro, you died. That's all there is to it. If you are the kind of pvper who only excels in highly regulated Mage duels, then you aren't really a pvper at all, are you?

I'm left handed. That's like if challenged you to a dart match but said only left hands are allowed. Most people are right handed. It's retarded.

How can you even call yourselves skilled if the only thing making you win is a tight set of rules that cater to your preferred playstyle?

How is it unskilled to use do weps and potions? It would seem pretty fuching stupid to me if you didn't use these obviously beneficial items if you can afford them. If you decide not to use them out of some misplaced sense of honor, then remember: honor is about what you do after the fight. Do you res the dude and gate him to town, or do you proceed to call I'm a retard noob for using potions?

Think about it. Grow some balls and come prepared. Don't be a limp dick bitch who hides behind self serving rules.

[Pro]

Anything goes = dexer with dp and invis jewels wins every game. GOOD IDEA.

[Brett]

Anything goes = dexer with dp and invis jewels wins every game. GOOD IDEA.

if thats the case, then it sounds like the problem is more deep-rooted than we thought. mages need a buff. also, what stops the mage from using invis jewels and dp if hes a tank?

[Pro]

mages run out of mana dexers dont ;D

Nothing stops then other than having to use another tactic.

I don't agree with magic jewlery or armor.

I think that it should be based upon things other players can make (gm armor and weapons) and personally, I don't think poison weapons should be used but that's just my opinion.

The fact is, mages don't need a buff but they do prefer a nerf on dexxers and thus the request for no potions.

Out of the standard rules, I just think that potions should be allowed. Everyone can use potions. Everything else is reasonable.

[Brett]

Everyone can get any thing. All they have to do us buy it or hunt for it. This isn't counter strike, it's an rpg. Preparation should matter. That being said, I think potions and gl items is perfectly acceptable. Allowing magic items and jewels does make the combat lean a bit towards item based determination rather than skill.

However, is collecting powerful items not skill?

[Pro]

no it isn't.

[Chad-]

the fact that its offmount in a small arena gives dexxers an advantage over mages if your gonna make it ravish style than should be on mount and in a bigger arena lets say from brit to despice?

[BlackFoot]
