I would hope that the raid zones and endgame dungeons would be FFA!~

they should be ffa and COMPLETELY gm free similar to the idea behind veeshan peak gameplan

Will be patching this in either tonight or tomorrow along with other stuff. Wanted to give a heads up on how it will work. We might be disabling the dynamic system, but implementing the new range scaling.

Levels 1 to 19 will have a 4 level PvP Range.
Levels 20 to 39 will have a 6 level PvP Range.
Levels 40 to 60 will have an 8 level PvP Range.

Combat will be based on the lowest level's range (a level 15 and level 20 won't be able to attack eachother,even though the 20 has a 6 level pvp range, the 15 only has a 4, attack disallowed).

Havent been able to test this rogean but on vztz you couldnt kick or bash or backstab someone who was -+5 levels behind or ahead of you. IE lvl 50 warrior couldnt bash a 44 (who was still in pvp range) but auto attack worked fine.

Rogean I know this isn't an issue at the moment. But please think about adding FFA zones. Especially when Kunark drops. 60's not being able to stop 50's from raiding in planes is retarded. Also Dragons like Naggy and Vox shouldn't be limited to level 53. They should be opened to 60 and if possible buffed at that time to make them even harder to kill.

This prevents a lot of nonsense that you won't end up having to deal with.

FFA zones are a must! Please! Your our only hope.

More good ideas like these and less bad ideas like trying to get shinaba into the guild.

Then how about testing before talking.

Why is the dynamic range being considered for removal? It was one of the best features I had heard of for EQ pvp, and Null had told me that the bugs shouldn't be too hard to work out.

Sounds perfect!

Dynamic should still be in to thwart oor healing.

Since my main will be cleric at launch, I was really looking forward to not being ever being an immy healer :/

[Rust1d?]

Any thought of having pvp starting at lv 6? Just seems to be logical to have new pvp'ers have a little wiggle room and not get insta ganked by level 5's etc at lv 1
