Game Mechanics: Free for all zones(not classic)

[dontbanpls]

Should just respect the general fte rule just like people are expected to do right now. If you are a guild at the top end, why the fuck should we allow you to KS people coming up? It takes a dedicated moderately skilled new player 1 week to hit 50, it takes about 2 days of plvling. If people want to contest at 52, that shit is classic.

if anything there needs to be MORE FFA zones

watching level 54-55s camping VP keys and OOR healing during VS setup pvp is annoying as fuck

People shouldnt be able to access endgame content and zones without risk of pvp, period

Maybe increase pvp range back to 8 and then eliminate FFA zones, would have to go together though

I agree. Level range is great because it allows people to xp without getting dunked on by high levels. Raid mobs and camping BIS != the same thing and shouldn't provide the same protection. I think when VS spawns KC should flag FFA, same with any zone. If the raid mob is up then the zone should be FFA. If you don't want to deal with it then dont try to compete for raid mobs, its simple.

eqpvp.com set up an infamy system that was pretty awful at first but worked great with some fine tuning.

If you were an OOR cleric that healed some one, you would build infamy to the point where you were flagged FFA.

Would be cool to see Red99 implement something like this before Velious launches. Would solve so many future issues.

red is so far away from classic as it is so any arguments saying that a change is "classic" doesnt apply to this server anymore

Rallos Zek was extremely successful for this system.

Right now, people just won't go xp in seb... and I feel that is something that hurts the population.

These are unguilded players I'm talking about, not Holo lowbies.

Seb must thrive for Kunark to thrive imo.

1 shotting some 51 cleric with a sunstrike isn't meaningful pvp, even if you think it is.

Unguided people in a keyed dungeon expecting not to get ganked. Sounds not classic. You don't just waltz around high end dungeons with bis. drops and expect it to be safe . It's like the lguk. Of classic. There are safer places to xp.

Big difference between those zones. Sure they ought to be contested, but by people within the appropriate level ranges. I think it would be more fun for the community if we saw YT coming from groups of players instead of always the same 3 or 4 level 60s smashing through complete groups of low 50s groups trying to get some seb action.

on a serious note:

Why does the OOR healing/resing even exist on this server? It is amazingly simple to code in that you cant cast a heal/res spell on someone above your level range so why hasnt it been done?

[pingpong]

literally take that group of low 50s and xp in the hole for a week, and then all of a sudden they are now mid 50s, go to seb and profit. xp flies on red.
