Should PvP be Enabled on Boats?

[Mardur]

Everything works the same as it did on classic (besides ships using a different model but that's irrelevant) so don't count on anything getting changed just because "it would be nice."

Edit: Er, yeah, Nilbog beat me.

i dont recal casters being able to pvp on live while traveling on boats so why asking for something not classic?

I can disable melee / all pvp actions while players are on a boat, but you guys are right that it may have been possible to melee on live but not spellcast. Let me know thoughts. My opinion is that pvp should be disabled.

^ This is the reason I created the poll. To start a discussion based on Rogean's response the the "bug" report on the pvp bug forums.

boat pvp is the best, if u dont want to die as a spellcaster just jump off an swim for an island

get SoW/Jboots as well as a lev, and casters should be able to run along side the boat blasting kids into oblivion.

Bump. Please Vote.

Personally, I'd like to see PvP on boats removed, it just doesn't serve any purpose and can by definition not lead to any kind of positive PvP. It just makes it more or less impossible for casters to travel by boat. Keeping it as classic as possible is important as well, though, so I'm not really sure. Claiming that boat PvP is a good thing is retarded, but I might accept that it's there just because it's classic.

Casters get see invis (exception cleric), if they die because they didn't take the proper precautions it's their own fault.

What precaution can you possibly take other than just accepting that sailing is pretty much not an option if you're not melee? It's not as if see invis is going to save you in any way. There could be a warrior standing smack dab in the center of the boat doing the helicopter and it wouldn't matter how many precautions you take, he's still going to land an automatic, unavoidable kill on you if you step on that boat. The only thing you can possibly do is go invis, but the melee could just as easily have see invis on, and it's not very likely that your invis will last the whole trip anyway.

Who rolls a caster/race without hide? Other than shamans ofc. Most melee won't have see invis.

[Bockscar]

I'm pretty sure you can't hide on boats once they start sailing unless you're a rogue since they're the only ones who can move while hidden.

You would see who else gets on the boat with you, ofc. And if those casters don't want to risk a boat ride with a scary rogue, they can wait for the next one.
