Mr. Tact on More PVP Stuff

Thradia · 31st October 2005, 02:38 PM

Player: 1. Remove honor/perfection from PvP.

MrTact: Yeah, nothing makes people want to transition from pvm to pvp like having a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SYSTEM to learn.

Player: 2. Reduce ALL direct damage by the target's resist magic resists (this would affect AI, LS, Word of Death, Death Strike)

MrTact: Then WHAT would be the point of those abilities?

The nerf for these is currently on block for pub 38 and atm it will be removing magical damage bonuses from the calculation, so only strength, tactics, anat & lumberjacking will matter.

Player: 3. Add a timer to a smoke bomb after flagging on a player.

MrTact: OK this one I agree with :-)

Player: 4. Make hiders reveal on flagging on a player rather than when they do damage.

MrTact: I also agree with this.

Player: 5. Make it so AOE spells don't REVEAL hiders, but continue to DAMAGE them, making it so non-archer stealthers can actually PLAY their templates with some effectiveness.

MrTact: I'm not convinced this is right, but it is something we are looking at.

Player: And, we're 80, 90, maybe ALL THE WAY there in making PvP PLAYABLE again.

For the life of me, I can't understand why they haven't done something like this ALREADY.

NO EXCUSE for not doing so.

MrTact: In my experience, people who say "that is simple" often don't really understand the problem.

Maybe those few fixes will make YOUR template and YOUR playstyle workable, but there are a couple of hundred thousand other people in the game, and I work for them too. I'm sorry the fixes have not happened as quickly as I wanted them to. They rarely do.
