Whoa, this guy is mad.

So mad brew. Everything I write sounds mad. It's my own personal skill. In reality I'm just trying to make it clear that enabling a zone plugging punishment is a complete game changer and from a game development standpoint there are multiple factors that need to be considered before such a decision is made.

Devs want to play amateur game developer but they're obviously not very good at it if issues like this are ignored and answered with, "Maybe we should have a /ready command." Yeah, thanks.. sticky a post asking for discussion on this mechanic then insult me for actually pointing something out.

What can I say though, I'm the guy who got banned for 5 months for saying something Nilbog said was bullshit. I've come to understand that this server is more summed up like, "We do whatever the fuck we want. Your opinion is meaningless. We only ask for it so we can tell you to STFU."

how bout 2 min pvp flag, can not zone for 2 mins once you attack another player unless via channeling a gate etc.

this way people that engage someone and end up on the shit end of the fight can not just numlock to the zoneline and plug, and pussbags that spend all their time hauling ass anyway can continue to do so.

or, pvp flag timer for all but when zoning you have a 10 second buff similar to the xp loss protection buff that cancels out the flag. this will improve pvp by removing zoneplugging/zone hopping but prevent the zoning into a dozen people issue being complained about.

or just implement pvp flag timer and make it so you can /w all zones like you could in post kunark, makes that real simple.

personally none of this is a big enough issue for me to really care, it should probably just be left alone. has been to many non classic things added/changed already and with to much more im afraid that much of the intended playerbase will be alienated instead.

You do know that some of these things while seemingly unfair and in need of adjustment were classic. You're suggesting that one mechanic with an exploitable element be replaced with another. Just leave it alone.

Tell me what % of pvp fights happen at the zoneline? 2-5%? I really see this as a non-issue. Someone zone plugs, move on.

I don't really think it's a big issue. I make people plug and zone dance everyday and I don't really care. Let them waste their time and try to get them next time instead. You pretty much achieved your goal when you make someone plug anyways.

You can do that as a wizard with high burst damage.

But try a classic era melee where anyone can stroll to the zoneline and plug in the 5 hours it takes you to get them to half health.

I don't want to make my opponent plug, just so he can log back in 5 mins later and attack me again. I want him corpse running from his bind point.

Sounds like a good idea.

Honestly, we need to leave this issue alone. Pulling the plug is pretty classic and making someone pull the plug is kinda like making someone tap out in a MMA fight. It's almost more satisfcation then actually knocking them out/killing them.

When you mix EQ and drugs lots of crazy shit comes out.
