Im not sure if this is "Rogean" Classic. But shouldn't people in PvP range con White and everyone else con green/red??

Even if not classic. I believe it will encourage PvP. So Please do it.

k thx

He didn't mean he wasn't sure if he could attack them or not. He meant you shouldn't be tipped off that the person is either higher or lower level than you. All you should know is that they are in range to attack.

People are much less likely to attack a "threatening" player if he cons yellow or red.

In range should be white. I don't care if it's "classic" or not.

Nirgon. Point is, people are less likely to attack a yellow con or red con. Steps should be taken to encourage PvP on a PvP server. White cons minimize any questioning thought about the outcome of the fight therefore increasing likely hood of fight. And the change is not so distant from classic that the server loses it feel.

Seriously.... no so wrong... on live the cons where the same rogean added in the threateningly because lots asked for it there was no way to tell if you where in range unless you tried to attack them or got attacked unless they conned blue yellow or white.. if they where red or green you had to try to attack them to see and if you played live pvp you would of already known this... so stop trying to change things and using LIVE as an excuse cause you dont like something.

There have already been a few posts on this topic, and pretty much only the utter retards were against white-con-in-range-for-pvp. It should be done already, can we get a developer response here?

lol herp derp

ya if I'm a L39 wizard, I want all cons to be white because when I attack that white con shaman, I want to play a guessing game with whether he will be L39 or higher and able to one-shot me with VoS.

Uhh, no... pretty sure I chased down and fought wiz+dru combo in 30s as a bard when no one else was in range; the strategy of every engagement changes drastically by knowing a more precise range of levels vs a wider unknown range.

I don't know or care what that event was about. You posted that you won't fight an even con because you are afraid. If that's the prophecy, I'm damn glad I follow Jesus and not you.

Uh, he's referring to the color cons .. you shouldn't know what lvl they are if they are in range. Should be white/threateningly in range, not blue/yellow/etc + threateningly

Conning things is part of the fun of EQ.

Not for pvp .. which is why they changed that to the even-con-if-in-range system super quick and never turned back ... a lot better server when you dont just gank blues, have to pay attention, observe, research, see what spells they are casting, etc and risk some shit. Otherwise, it's just a kill-a-blue for a guaranteed win every battle. Ever run into an undercon or overcon? PvP should be somewhat unpredictable
