Bye.

[Macken]

And how many out of those 3 owned wehrmacht?

[notahipster]

i think they should do team +8 - 8 pvp

Humans, high elfs, dwarfs, haflings as good
iksar troll ogre dark elf bad
half elf, barb, gnome, erudite neutral

newbie zones should be off limits, or maybe
no xp loss.

full loot would really make tradeskills come in handy. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I prefer SOE's ruleset (Sullon) myself.

They added so many restrictions in the default client that it's pretty hard to make anything else besides RZ +/- 5, TZ/VZ team based, and SZ deity based PVP servers.

Like, for example, they *hardcoded* the level restriction for kick/backstab/slam/etc but not autoattacking. That's fucking dumb.

All of those are possible in the current client btw ^_^

2 teams works, more than 2 teams doesn't. The balance becomes too lopsided. Best possible team setup you could use if you want them both to be balanced:

Race War using race as selection variable: each team gets every class

Dark Elf Alliance (evil)
------------------------
Dark Elf
Troll
Iksar
Ogre
Half Elf
Erudite


Human Alliance (good)
-------------------------
Human
Dwarf
Gnome
Halfling
High Elf
Barbarian
Wood Elf

warhammer online, vile and I's version of qvf, WoW. do you need any more examples of where it did result in lopsided teams?

3-faction system works best, even if one team is outnumbered, that gives powergamers the chance to be the best on their team and get a reputation as a feared PvPer who defys odds.

2 teams results in one team steamrolling the other until there's no more pvp on one side. Why do you think Warhammer is dying?

cuz its a shitty wow clone?

Are you for real using this as an example. The game has probably already gone bankrupt. It's not because of their teams setup, it's because the game isn't fun to play regardless of what the rules are.

I don't know a single person who played Sullon Zek at max level, endgame PvP that agrees with you. Everyone says 2 teams would have been far more balanced. It's not even disputable.

If you go with three teams, one of the teams will be completely powerless and useless to play on and will eventually be one of the main reasons to cause the server to collapse. Some people will reroll off that team, many others will just plain quit. It results in population reduction more than a 2 team server would see no matter what angle you look at it.

The only person that played the good team on this board was Alawen and he says pretty much the same thing.

WHy try to split the teams up by race or religion? Beause of role playing blue shit?

if its going two teams, just have the teams identical. Its hard to forsee all the little things that might give a team an advantage or disadvantag.

You start your char and you get a book at lvl 1 and you can group with anyone up to lvl 6. Once your exp is full at lvl 6 it wont let you lvl until you turn in your book to a special quest npc. Turn your book into Team Orange or Team purple. Everyting in the game is the same for your character for faction.

Why have the characters use swords and magical spells instead of grenades, roadside bombs, and semi automatic hand guns when they could easily be added to the game?
