Should PvP be Enabled on Boats? - Page 3

This is a case where 'keep it classic' need not apply. Why allow areas where casters or melee can't defend themselves or realistically get away? This will also just cause problems with GMs and Guides. As many griefers as this server will have, this will be a huge problem.

Just add a no PvP element to the invisible levitate buff that you get on p99.

The boat rides SUCK because they take forever. I seriously doubt there are gonna be many melee characters that hang out on a boat for the sole purpose of ganking a caster or 2 once every few hours. And with see invis, those casters will be able to see who's on the boat before hopping on. They should have to choose between taking their chances, or playing it safe and waiting for the next boat.

As it has been since the beginning of time [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Being a pirate on EQ and owning a boat sounds really badass to me.

keep it classic.

And i'd LOVE to see a video of a rogue murdering casters on a boat ride. So immersive.

They dont want to be murdered by the evil pirate? walk the plank...

Oh and I do think its pretty dumb that casters can't cast on boats but can be killed.

I can't remember how it was on boats on RZ in kunark /velious as far as on boat PVP goes. I was a ranger and always boarded with camo up and was as cowardly as possible.

The difficulty of the change is irrelevant; We have a variable in the client class that is set to true when you are on a boat. This can simply be checked in the IsAttackAllowed function.

This discussion would be for if we were to make that change or not, and it seems we won't be making that change since this is operating as classic. It would require a compelling argument at that point for us to change it.

The poll is terribly biased in its wording and its still more popular to keep it classic, good call rogean.

i think they should revamp the boat i fucking cant enjoy a boat ride, im trying to explore the boat and i just fall through

I've fallen through the boat a few times too, im more afraid of hitting a bad spot in it than someone attacking me tbh.
