Duels

[Giit]

you know what, at this point, I and many others wouldn't care if it's just in the closet of a small room in LL. I just want pvp/duels.

[Arcell]

I don't really see what the problem is in having the option to duel anywhere, except for maybe cities due to high player volume. I mean if it's a duel you must agree to and there's an option to auto-decline duels I don't see the issue. Let people talk, what does it matter if they talk shit because you auto-refuse duels?

[Giit]

I imagine that pvp damage will be at least halved, if not 30% capped so, who knows what will work at this point ^^ can't wait to try it tho!

[Alerith]

Using a certain game that took place in a Republic of Old as an example, the /duel feature was never an issue. In fact, it was a great source of fun and even helped with training players with their skills.

Why not just add thing call /pvp off/on.

I think its a great ripoff Idea! they would first need to fix a few things like latency and character reaction time (I think the characters take too long to react to a simple right/left turn). I'm hoping for a simple vs. PVP rather than FF's Petra like PVP, not that it wouldn't be fun. I love the face to face smack you down, I win, PVP feel

You should really work on that gag reflex

I'd be up for this as far as arena combat. Also people should be able to sit there and watch in the stands like true gladiatorial combat. It would take a miracle to balance classes for this, I would suggest a 3 vs 3 team combat to make the battles a little more strategic. As for open world PvP, gods no, however there could be designated battlefields out in the world for a friendly match.

[Giit]

just a couple rules I'd add:

ARENA---------

-30% damage cap (regardless of what happens, you can only receive a max 30% of your hp taken my a single hit)

-50% damage cut (whatever the same dmg would be in pvm, is halved for pvp)

-50% penalty on specials and enfeebling magic

-once flagged for pvp, bonuses from parties are canceled

-2 minute weakness applies to death. you will die, and be ejected from the arena with a knockback effect....or maybe just be resurrected on the sidelines ^^ (kb effect ejection would be funny tho)

-armor damage is nullified to begin with (or doubled, if we feel the need for a penalty to deaths)

-no diminishing effects on enfeebling magic, or effects from specials

-healing or buffing another person that is flagged, should flag you immediately

-recharge on potions, elixirs, etc. should be cut in half (not everyone has heals, this helps with some balance)

-flagged players running out of the arena to the benches while engaged in combat are not safe for 30 seconds.


DUELS---------

-target player type /duel to request a duel

-other player must accept from a yes/no box that appears not in front of them, but to the side of the screen.

-you have the option of disabling duel requests. default is disabled

-once a duel request has been denied, there is a 5 minute cooldown before another can be sent to that same player.

-once a duel is accepted, a 40 yalm event circle shows on your mini-map, and the 5 second countdown begins.

-all duels take place within a 40yalm distance of the player receiving the request, if you run out of this area, you lose the duel.

-arena dmg cap rules apply

-a duel is won when someone reaches 1 hp, you do not die, but a notice is given in vicinity that you have lost. "Giit loses the duel to Somerandomlol" loser will /kneel ofc



FUTURE STUFF----------

-you may be able to use GC seals put into a betting window to be received by the winner.

-statistics for your duels may be posted on the LodeStone

-full on LS v LS battle events

-cross server pvp? (possible in the future?)

-etc

I'm sure there's a ton more, but it's a start. :P
