VZ/TZ PVP Con Query

[Loto]

I vaguely remember the Con system working as such for PvP on TZ live circa 2001:

Green - out of range below you
White - within pvp range
Red - out of range above you

Having everyone in your pvp range as the same consideration level added a real sense of insecurity to each battle that we dont quite experience here. I know that finding a blue is going to be a likely victory, and that running from a red is a good idea. I think many more battles would at least take place if the con system was changed for PvP

[Pudge]

Agree. Would be a good change

Be careful of any suggestion pudge offers, he likes to accuse people of serious crimes with zero proof or evidence. Grade A faggot.

if someones name is red, they are in range

if they are ready to attack, they are in range

want a giant arrow or something?

It's not about clarification of whether they are in range or not.

Example - Today I stumbled across some warrior, who conned blue to me and "is your body ready" so of course he is in range. by being blue, i know i am higher than him as well. if he conned me, he would have seen that i was higher than him and in range.

what i am proposing is that when we both con each other, since we are in range of each other, we con as white - even. that way neither of us knows who has the level advantage.

Biggest thing i came across is I targeted a dark blue and started to dispel. Then he was out of range and it sucked.

Yep this is indeed classic, there was no blue,lightblue yellow in PVP con.

Yep )

Also HB notice how random people don't come in here and start tearing pudge a new one?

It's because he's generally sane.

[r00t]

a change for the best really

Add it to the list of things to fix on our annual patch day.

SZ was like this as well, white cons were coinable/xp death though. Red cons may have lost xp if they died to greens but they weren't coinable. Reds who killed green cons, nothing but grief.

No yellow/blue nonsense.
