Bring back combat advantage in pvp

Postby overtyped » Tue Feb 09, 2016 11:31 pm

Right now you literally cannot beat someone 1v1 if your stats are equal, so what about bringing back the combat advantage?
It will change pvp in that you will need to balance advantage with defenses to win a fight.

Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

I really liked the old combat system better, but the new one is a bit more newb-friendly (obviously we don't want any overcomplicated systems in a game like this).

Of course, I'm no grand high PVP master and mainly fight animals, so whatever.

The old combat system was arcane in the extreme but I have to admit I kind of miss it. It really did make sense and was very cool once you understood it.

Bumping.
Since you are changing combat jorbtar, what about considering this?
This factor was what i really liked about the old combat system, and will break stalemates, eventually.

Will consider when we do work on combat.
