Discussion: +/- 8 Levels, Dynamic

[Softcore PK]

Big difference between a level 50 killing a 42, and a 50 killing a 20.

[Yukahwa]

Not a big difference between a level 30 killing a level 22 and a level 50 killing a level 30

The current limits somewhat mitigate maximum domination by max levels but really do mean that lvl 50 is the only viable pvp level.

Maybe like:

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

You would run into problems like a level 7 not being able to attack a level 11 but the 11 being able to attack the 7. 15-20, 25-30, etc etc. Low ends would need to be something like -3 /+4

Why would you not be viable in pvp just because some of your enemies are 8 levels higher?

I got lvl 12 last night. A lvl 20 comes to destroy me. No chance in hell so I banked my coin and took myself out via NPC. That lvl gap seems too big. So either take it out completely and be done with it, or shrink it so it's a bit more meaningful for PVP battles. The way I see it now, it's going to be rape fest with somebody 8 lvls above you reigning hell from above. It will be "run away city" when the lvl 20 necro drops in the noob area and the lvl 12's scatter away as the Necro's pet and DoT's clear the battlefield.(Or mage pet) It just seems too big right now. There's no way you're going to be 8 lvls lower and take somebody out unless A)They don't know how to play or B)They're AFK.

Why are people saying the level gap is too big, then going on to say the level range should be 2-50? :s

It's really not that bad, people. Yes, sometimes you will die to someone 8 levels higher. But with a level range of 4, I imagine there being a LOT less pvp. I'd rather do my best to put up a fight against uneven odds and die than be immune to them. And sometimes you'll catch a higher level opponent low on health/mana after a hard fight.. when that happens, you'll be glad for that range [You must be logged in to view images.

Besides, there is strength in numbers. 6 level 12s exping should easily be able to take a single level 20 pk.

The level gap is no problem. It's how a level 22 can attack a 14 flagging the 14 upwards to a level 30. Then the level 30 flagging the 14 to level 38. It's kind of a drag.

Thats just my dumb ass. I support rulesets that make sense. I think a tighter level range makes the most sense. I think unlimited level range makes some sense..and I think 8 level range with dynamic engagement system makes no sense.

Well, try making a character and then fighting a player that is 8 levels higher than you and maybe you would see what it is like to play pvp? Or try killing an NPC that is 8 levels higher than you for a small idea of what it is like? I think this is a question you can answer on your own if you really want to.

[Softcore PK]

8 level range is good for you, builds character.

Was it -/+8 lvls on live PVP servers?
