Discussion: +/- 8 Levels, Dynamic

[Morninx]

Couldnt this dynamic open up to say a lvl 8 attacking a lvl 5, the lvl 5 attacking back and then could a lvl 16 attack the lvl 5? or is that not how it works exactly? Just comes off as confusing and a cause for more problems. Rogean you seem to be excited about this pvp dynamic and it sounds interesting but exploitable to people dismay. OOR healers really doesnt happen that often especially with no boxing..And if it does happen.. not a huge deal.. just got to adapt to it.

Would like to see adjusted level ranges.
Made a lowbie alt and getting chain camped by red mages in the newbie zone isn't very fun.

Maybe like:

2-10 +/- 3
11-19 +/- 4
20-29 +/- 5
30-39 +/- 6
40-49 +/- 7
49+ 8

^^ not a bad idea. If it isn't too hard to code, I'd support.

8 is too much at certain levels.

I approve.

I don't think your dynamic level range should increase when attacking someone higher level than you.

There's no reason that a level 2 attacking a level 10 should be able to then be attacked by a level 18.

[Silikten]

I think the dynamic should be changed to beneficial spells only. I say that because when a level 15 attacks a level 7, the level 7 can now be attacked by a level 23. That doesnt make sense. It should be beneficial spells only so that if their are OOR buffs or OOR heals.

[Yukahwa]

I think you're right Silk. Other types of spells should just have no effect. Buffs and heals should change it.

I also think the 8 level range sucks for meaningful PVP. Too often the person attacking you is way out of your ability to kill them. If its going to be like that, it might as well be unlimited level range just to make it more obvious that the higher level has to choose not to execute noobs.

I say the level range should either be meaningful (4 levels) or non existent.

Meaningful? Lol. Anything less than 8 level range is weak. Don't limit the game.

[Yukahwa]

That's why I said go big and just make it unlimited, if you feel that way it might as well be.
