"As has been stated a million times.."



haha, i dunno where dude. if it was on the board thats cool, sry i been on vacation. if you mean just on forums well, far as i knew it was all good when i left. i see what u mean but while part of the allure of your board (which is really great btw, not trying to slam here) is the edits keeping things interesting untill 200 or whatever, the main reason i started playing was the pvp, cause its really hard finding edit boards with pvp these days, let alone done so well. looked to me like you kept all classes competitive in higher levels, but if thats just not possible i guess i personally dont see the point of having a higher level cap higher than 100ish. seems like alot of scripting with no action to me. shrug.

I've had this argument on the board atleast a million times. It's just not possible to do without editing everything heavily. The AC's and accy and damage just gets insane.



Like I said. I can't find a way to balance it that doesn't involve many many hours of editing and tweaking and testing. The board is balanced right now so that the monsters are difficult.. the point of having a 255 level cap is that you need to be that big to kill many of the higher monsters. MUD was never designed properly for PVP. Legit realms become unbalanced at 30-40ish. Usually on mine it stays close to balanced until about 100, but only because of all of the extra stuff that was put in. I'm sorry if all you are looking for is a edited pvp board.. but you will have a difficult time finding one because most edited boards are more about new monsters and bosses and quests than pvp.

Guess I really didn't specify 1, and I guess I'll explain, even though it "won't work". You set weapons for every 20 levels, specifically for pvp. This means that these weapons would subtract any combat bonuses, huge hp, or maybe even some negative AC bonuses you have accrewed throughout these levels. This is why these weapons would be level, class, and somewhat race based items. Make the minimum level 1, because anyone stupid enough to equip something that would - their stats deserves it, and make max level 120 for the weapons level 100-120. This would give a somewhat balanced, if at all possible, approach to pvp, negating huge attributes needed for monsters at that level, but making pvp somewhat balanced. But I don't see how number 3 cannot be obtained, for the simple fact of possibly not reading it throughly. I understand 2 now, and like I said, editing is not my forte. But with getting a pvp spell every 20 levels, with an ungodly spellcasting on it, and providing a pvp staff that allows you to achieve this spellcasting, but negates any bonuses and less mp and hp, I don't see how this would be unachievable. Obviously if number 2 didn't work, people would never use these items, and be cheap and continue to use their ungodly shit. But if there was a way to make all upper level items monster only usable, as well as spells, this doesnt seem like such a pipe dream type idea. If I'm missing something about negating bonuses, clue me in. Last time I checked though, cursed items negate a shitload of stuff, and you don't need a curse flag to negate things...



Holla atcha boy.

even if you negate bonuses, at level 200, PVP is not balanced with naked chars.



AND if you negate bonuses, where's my MR when I come against a mage?



You should try to edit a board and balance it, it's tough work, especially for PVP. I don't believe anyone has ever successfully balanced PVP over level 30. I don't think PVP is balanced over level 30 in a legit realm, but thats my opinion.

As a note: TW2002 is now up and running on the board server. The address to connect is to telnet to untryiampi.com:2002



that's port 2002. If I find multiple accounts are being abused for cheating I will simply delete you and all of your allies/anyone I find out benefitted from your cheating. I'm hosting this game because several people asked me to. Since I can't figure out how to make rlogin work (reference the post here about that) it's direct telnet.. for now. If I ever do figure out how to make rlogin work, I will change it accordingly.



hope to see you there.
