PvP Level Range on R99

[Eslade]

I don't get why the guy from the Fair Fighters guild is so against people fighting fair. Isn't PvP more fun when your opponent actually stands a chance? It's hard enough when you're fighting someone who is twinked to shit, but if add the fact that they have 8 levels on you, then there is no real incentive to fight back. I can go to noob zones and smack around orc pawns and get pretty much the same effect.

But no, let's talk more of this glorious +-8 PvP range.

Lol 52+ exp zones:

Guk (shitty and away from any zonelines, not enough mobs to sustain a group but doable)

SolB right next to a port and really easily accessible. Also FFA so lvl 35s getting royal groups can get 1 spotted by 60s. Efreeti/bugs only options. Pvp can happen 4 seconds after they zone in if they know your there. Be on your toes.

Karnors lol good luck. Pit stop for Kunark ports, your lucky to have 15 minutes of uninterrupted exp. Only with guild support or lowest pop play times is this viable. Faction makes pvp favorable/unfavorable if you even attempt.

Kedge only so good up to mid 50s

COM pvp all day, high ground wizards sunstriking lvl 52s. Have an alt or be prepared to plug frequently and slow role it if solo. Fake groups I.e. join and 1 shot when low hp. Don't bother unless you can have 2 or 3 groups to lock it down and defend from enemy guild pvp.

Sebilis viable, camp or evacuation if 60s come in. Hope your session lasted long enough to make it worth.

High keep solo only, starved for mobs.

Perma bear pits no charmer (druid preferred) no dice. Out of the way. Real risky for melee. FFA.

Chardok one of the best options because it's not frequently visited but everything's a caster and it's ez to get trained by yourself. Need good group class makeup. Azrael and Nihilum each have people with faction in here. 1 lvl 60 with faction can wipe your entire group. Have a good CR.

The Hole is another best option because it's out of the way and not frequently checked. Need a porter to get out once you drop down. Need a cleric and an enchanter.

These are the options people have. Making them deal with 60s while having these options is discouraging. Even with ez fast exp. Being forced to camp or plug or get Ytd by someone 8 lvl higher or a group of people 8 lvls higher slowly eats people's moral and enthusiasm to level up. Even if they can get 10 the normal exp rate people want to play not be forced to not play.

damn, ***** makin sense.

and btw just change it to 4 levels so we can have people less qq's imo but FFA in raid zones.

i haven't been playing lately, but some thoughts:

it sucked when i was soloing on my paladin in the late 40s and i'd get jumped by someone in the upper half of the 50s. no amount of skill on my part is going to give my level 49 paladin a chance against a level 57 of any class, except maybe a cleric without a manastone. (if i have LOH up)

on the other hand, if i'm out rolling with a group of guildies and one of the higher levels in my group got jumped by someone above my PVP range... it would be nice if i could get in a few swings on whoever jumped us.



tl;dr -- smaller level range is better for soloing, while a larger level range necessitates making friends and roaming in packs so that you don't get ganked.

not sure which i prefer, will likely get back into red after i beat this solo RPG i'm working on.... will vote later.
