I just had this idea..

[Atma]

Exactly what's "iffy" about it? It works. I guaren-Goddamn-tee it. The only way to avoid it is ten spelling before PvP, and in ten years I've NEVER seen anyone do that even when going in against a confusion or slow caster. I'm sure it's happened, but it's rarer than a thinking member of the Bush family.



Now does anyone have any critism based on CONSTRUCIVE criticism, or is this all just "oh, well that's something new... I hate new, this sucks, let's just keep whining and/or listening to whines about people warping in PvP?" Just wondering. Here, since you guys are obviously at a lack, let me help you out...



It'd screw up when PvP starts in a warp point that's NOT a safe room. There'd be some dick that'd figure this out and camp at a warp point and tag any poor bastard that warps in and grabs their riskfree gear. Solution? Duh, make all warp points safe rooms.



It'd also screw up when someone walks into these rooms normally shortly after PvP combat. Of course, IMO a person this fantastically stupid DESERVES to be punished.

It's a good idea, but until you can code it so mystic regular attacks proc that effect, it won't "truly" be balanced. Also, for the reasons you listed, it would need tweaking, but overall, it's pretty clever.



IMO, Panterra came up with the best solution. Put in a portal between cities at the goto points (ala sys goto). Therefore, if you need to travel between cities quickly, you can easily do it w/o sys goto's. On the whole though, sys goto's cheapen the game as a means of a quick and painless escape out of tough situations, which make this game even easier than it already is.



So if you need to get from one city to another quickly, use the portal. But if you need to get out of trouble, use whatever skills you have (which I understand isn't much for most of you), or better yet, don't get in trouble at all. There's nothing about this game that's not known.. if you underestimate something, it's your own damn fault and you shouldn't rely on sys goto's to save your candy asses.

Your idea is flawed. I would LOVE to be pvping in rhudaur, LC, or khaz, and be killed just be running into the main room. That'd be sweet, not really though. It won't work.

ey Atma, I personally think your idea is tight. It may have it's flaws but it's an option and took some creativity. There are lots of things you could change or add on to this idea that may make it a feasable option.



It's nice to see people share some info on here once and awhile, instead of just flaming each other.

hmm, sounds a little "iffy" don't ya think...



but lets see Atma's reply - he has an answer about hitting a text block b4 u enter that room that will remove the 400 ability im sure..

yeah syntax - the more i think about it - the more i like it ;)

[zan]

it is a good idea just gonna take a long ass time to complete it. atma and I talked about it a little and its a good idea but its gonna require ALOT of work

[Reckless]

Heaven forbid someone offers feedback on an idea. I'll never post feedback to your ideas ever again. Noone else should either, heaven knows nothing good comes from collaborating on things.

[admiralacid]

wtf R u Talking about Reckless - Most of the people think its a good idea - plus speed spoke of an error pvp around LC/khaz/rhu that it would need a spell in the rooms around the safe rooms to remove the ability so u don't die.. Hows that for feedback?



i think the thread went well all in all...

Atma is good with text blocks, I know this personally, since he did a lot of editing for me with my text blocks. There may be flaws, but he would be able to figure everything out.
