Duels

that wouldn't sound too bad as long as it was done fairly like I said I don't want someone ganging up on a low level person because they think it's funny (aka they mainly have an inferiority complex and feel the need to make themselves look better but in reality them doing that makes them look pathetic)

but if a great deal of thought was put behind it rules and regs for dueling and such. Then I might not be completely against it.

maybe you should add on that previous post of yours the maybes as well rofl

I'd be up for it as a good side activity. I think people have had too many bad experiences with games like Lineage/Aion and are afraid that introducing PvP will turn it into one of those. If it's done right it could be enjoyable.

I'd agree you would need some rebalancing and some damage adjustments or something to make it viable. As it stands a single WHM could devastate an entire party in 2 seconds if he wanted to.

I don't care if they have pvp in certain areas for the people who want it. Also if they do do the open world dueling then I'll agree with certain guidelines.

Just because a person is against the idea of something doesn't equate to them being bad at it. Many people have many different reasons for why they don't do it or don't like it. Respect it please.

Because all the games that I have played with PvP in them the people who was against adding new PvP features or anything of the sort that had to do with PvP sucked bad. You would convince them to come PvP with you and they would be so terrible they would flat out quit and give up on even trying to get better and enjoy the system. Then they come on some forums and spew forth crap about why they don't like it etc etc.

Also you aren't against PvP , you are against a certain form of PvP and that is fine, you are entitled to you opinion and you have something that backs up why you dislike it. Though like I said before they already said it ain't going to happen, so no point talking about "What if".

Open world PvP which you don't have to participate in DOES NOT AFFECT YOU though. All it does is add a variety of landscapes for people to PvP in. For those that want it.

Basically you're saying you want to ruin everyone else's fun for no reason.

that's done with read the rest of my posts or actually read that whole post and then later posts as well instead of just bolding one specific area of it ^_^

understandable but when people start generalizing some people will get offended so that's why I asked =)

I'm all for Arena and Duel type PvP. The only type of PvP I'm not in favor of in this case is the toggle open world PvP if there is one mechanic present.

If you aren't flagged for PvP, then you attack someone who is, it would automatically flag you. That's fine for most games, but in these types, you could just have a group of friends flagged for PvP stand around a spawn area for an NM. Then if another group trying to camp as well misfires an ability and flag themselves for PvP, it's like vultures on a rat.

There would have to be careful balances to the rules of open world PvP if it were to be added.

If they bother ya /blacklist add "", I may pvp some people in linkshell so they can train themselves for their ego fights with other players. but I really cant be bothered by some Ego who will bother me till they have a win against me which means nothing, I would like a auto block like in the chat format where you can hide all say, shout, and other stuff.

Also proabably will not duel anyone unless they wear exact same gear(100% status) and job and level, if your going to say your good at PVP, prove it by dueling someone on equal footing and just hope you dont lag out during the fight or DC because we all know this game is stable, and if they put a CS for like in a arena type duel no point in dueling because whoever gets out of cs first has an edge.

I've never agreed with having open gear sets for anyone to inspect. it defeats the incentive to try original setups, opens others up to criticism, and could intimidate some from trying a duel with someone with superior gear. when you can just copy the next guy, why look for something new, etc.

we shoudl have an option to have inspect open or closed as well.
