PVP Tournaments

[sabinati]

you could do whatever you wanted, 1v1, 2v2v2, 5v5, 20v1, who cares

the point is that for any of it to happen there needs to be some kind of spar zone set up... some kind of new special-case claim placed by the devs

While I do note that that is one of the few ways of not having it completely abused, anything like this or not should be something that players build as a pretty-much-fuilly player built world. :v

yeah i just don't want "safe zones".

[Haba]

That is why I prefer for it to be dev placed as well. Somewhere in the middle of nothing, unbuildable and unclaimable. And possibly so that if you enter it while in combat with someone, you can still be killed normally (so make sure that nobody can use it as "safe zone". Could even be in a cave, for all I care.

make it in wayneville

Safe zones are a terrible idea. The element of danger is the most important aspect of HnH. Remove it and the game gets real stale, real quick.

The only way we will have a PvP area is if AD, Sodom, Buyan, etc decide to build one and support each other in the policing of it.

[DatOneGuy]

No, that'd be stupid. Constantinople is relatively safe if you consider that. Sodom has never used giving a sign to Sodom or finding someone in Sodom as a way to kill them. I believe the only exception of a person who never dared to show their face in Constantinople was Rage, and I'm not 100% sure he'd be killed if he showed up there, I once suggested I kill someone I wanted to kill when meeting them there and I was told I'd be killed for it, just like anyone else.

The ability to kill is something that needs to be around, but sadly there is always a way AROUND it, there is one person we still haven't managed to kil because he made a kill-alt and then vaulted what he stole, it's the pathetic truth but a way to get around ANY protection ANYONE may provide.

rage went to nople all the time

rage went to nople all the time

He sure as hell wouldn't go for me, before I was in Sodom, or had contact with any sodomites at all.

[Sotsa]

Ugh. Please, no safe zones.
has anyone even tried to make an arena sort of place and set up public matches or something to see if this is in fact, impossible, or if it is perfectly doable with the current systems of 'law enforcement'?

[sabinati]

well there's an "arena" of sorts...

Nope, it really isn't:
1.) A bad enough dude can accidentally kill his opponent
2.) Anyone with a ranger's bow can cause massive havoc (sniping from the woods)
3.) There will be scents

Sure, we could probably organize a few matches with heavy player policing, but I don't really see it lasting very long due to the many risks involved. And the fact that it takes quite a bit of work to secure the matches.

I'd rather have the player effort spent in organizing the tourney itself and refining the rules than having to act as security during the actual matches.
