/guildwar is the dumbest thing i've seen on here. Straight up Yellow text is what it should be; Player x of <blah> has been slain by Player y of <bah> in Zone. For people who think its going to be a constant spam are stupid. All the people who are against or for moderated yt dont even pvp, and thats why they dont want it. They dont want their name splatted for the server to see. Waiting for 5 deaths in 5 just as dumb as /guildwar.

Word. to ya motha.

way too much think tanking going on here (as per usual). For fucks sake, put in YT with zones for a 2 weeks trial, run a poll afterwards and see if people like it or not, compare it to the baseline, and make a fucking decision. This would actually take less effort on Rogean's part than reading all of this retardation.

Yellow text will do nothing except gratify a few nerds who get all epeenery over that "killshot".

I say gratify them, the more people gratified on the box the more people playing, the more !FUN! to be had.

People can still be all communal and shit in /ooc with it. It will just save 50% of the population time it takes to type ****WAGGNUTZ down.

YT should give a full list of everyone that was involved in the kill. Then you could all bear witness to the true power of the imperial zerg squads.

Seriously though, the decision to not yet put YT in for PvP has nothing to do with the complexity of the coding required. You guys have some top notch folks slinging code up in here.

I switched my stance from yellow text with no loc to yellow text with loc due to the large Kunark areas and the fact that there must be practically 0 pvp at the lower levels so the chances of griefing because of it are going down.

[SearyxTZ]

It actually stops griefing more than starts it. If someone is spamming broadcasts via bind camping someone, usually someone will go play hero and kill them. It keeps griefers in check.

Yeah some twink is mopping the floor with some guy in Oasis over and over. KC or CoM group guy "Oh im going to stop this grouping to go help a random naked noob getting owned in oasis, brb logging my 15 SK. "

Super likely scenario

A high ender getting owned liked that will scream in guildchat anyway so its not like he needs the loc being broadcasted

Still, voted yes with loc. Cuz i have no illusion of server taking off at this point, so it might just stir end game up a bit and get people to pvp.

[SearyxTZ]

Oh, ok. Yeah, your think tank logic trumps my years of playing on red servers with YT and seeing the scenario of a broadcast-spamming griefer killed as a direct result of said broadcasts (usually by a druid/wizard).


bind camping isn't policed here but it also made it obvious/easier for staff to investigate those incidents
