Dwarves vs Elves - Custom Faydwer PvP

[Gustoo]

Kick ass I like that.

The pvp level range and loot / no item loot or permadeath is all interesting. On a server like this stealing armor is gunna be more of an inconvenience than a meaningful threat to pvp since this is way more pvp focused than any live server so having reduced death consequence seems rational.

As far as races go I see the biggest problem is that most pvp psychopaths have been gnomes historically and they also are the only ones who can make the telescope, so maybe that needs to be a vendor item.

But more than the telescope is the kinda players who are gunna roll gnome murderers vs panzy elfs. The dark elf fan boys might be enough to balance it so we’ll have to count on that.

I’ve long been a fan of the Faydwer pvp idea. I’d probably cut the level cap to somewhere way below 50. Maybe 39. Maybe even lower.

All the zone connections are done now. Languages are in, common tongue doesn't exist. Forced languages in all channels including OOC. Halflings replace Humans on Dwarf team to make it classic short team Dwarf/Gnome/Halfling. Using VZ/TZ tag colors but blocking beneficial spells cross team except for Elvish/Dark Elf who also can't attack each other. Fixed EQEmu VZ/TZ teams attack code. Dark Elves speak expert Elvish at start. Halflings/Gnome speak expert Dwarvish.

I'll probably do Bard/Shaman Halfling/Dwarf and some kind of Shaman for Elf team maybe Half Elf/Dark Elf/Wood Elf. Going to leave Gnome SK and Halfling Ranger which is in EQEmu code already. This gets us back to class parity between teams after switching Halfling in for Human.

what's this servers discord? I might be interested in playing on it If it has enough of a classic feeling.

You’re work is looking great.

Merry and Pippin, especially Pippin, were almost magical singers. Plus the rivervale theme slaps! Good call on halfling Bards!

Will you include the expanded shorts hybrid options?

What have you done to prevent characters emoting messages locally? Or are you happy for them to be able to communicate via wild gesticulation?

Thanks. Yeah the hybrid options are in.

I'm not sure on emotes. I could easily disable them but that's kind of lame. I might be able to apply the same language filter to them.

I'll probably start a separate website soon so I'm not just lingering here on R99 forums.

Biggest risk is the shorty team being OP

This looks really cool. Definitely like the custom zone connections and language barrier.

5. No level range for PvP

Why? Creates more of a team atmosphere where you rely on your teammates always. A level 1 spamming snare on a level 50 should have a chance for the spell to land even if it's small.

Personally, I think this one is going to doom your server, because all your new players will be griefed off ... but best of luck: I hope I'm wrong.
