Shardfall - Open PVP Zones

From an age past, the birth of Daedalus and the end of two celestial beings. A cataclysmic storm descends upon New Britannia...Shardfall! The world forever changed as celestial debris rained down upon the surface...


What strange secrets will be unlocked within the craters of Shardfall? The Obsidian Order understood the power unleashed and sought to harness it. Mutation, corruption and blight...


shards, Redthorn, flora...wildlife?


The Island of Novia will have a number of open Player Vs. Player (PVP) zones. Shardfall Crater, a fantastical landscape set within a massive crater. Shardfall Ruin, a ruined town were the fool hardy once sought to harness the power of the Obsidian Order.

 

Lovely work, as always.

 

Open PVP zones?



Cool looking art Stephen!

 

I especially like that last one where it's tethered in the town.

Really cool and evocative.

And I like those alien plants too.

We'll probably see alien plants first on the planets that are now being discovered all around us. I bet they look like that..

 

Sexy art work!

 

They aren't open pvp zones...they are just pvp zones. Open pvp will be everywhere....pvp zones anyone can enter to pvp and then leave and go back to the way they were before.

 

The art really stirs the imagination and I want to learn all about its mysteries! I want to step into the paintings and explore its dangerous beauty

 

Looking really great guys, somewhere for me to explore with some of the Tavern militia no doubt!

 

dibs on the poster !

 

+1

 

If everyone who enters Shardfall is subject to PvP, that is an open PvP zone. Open PvP is determined by who you can attack, not by geography. If I can attack anyone without restriction in a zone, that is an Open PvP zone.

 

ooh i cant wait to go LOS behind those big pillars some wankers for an hour plinking them with a bow for 5 dmg :0

 

Yes will be a blast when I get to calling the old guild back together in a town.
3 arches, a tank or 2, and a mage or 2 will be be fun walking through open pvp or a dungeon on skype Oo

 

This artwork is absolutely LEGENDARY

 

R9 HYYYYYYYYYYPE

 

ERO NAÏNU HAÏPUUUUU !

 

i'dd like to comment about the Pvp ideas of this game.

At the same time you could say that merging the opposites into one, do not make anybody happy.
I believe the original Ultima Online was the best mmorpg because there was no compromize between RPG component and GAMEPLAY one.
Any idea that you'r going to implent in 'Sota' that limits the possibility to litterally "attack" and "kill" another character, is clearly limiting the RPG component to help the Gameplay of these players, who do not wish to play a videogame too much realistic.

Honestly, i dislike any compromise. If you want to make this game a real successor of UoL, make it 100% RpG, no compromize at all. Else, do your compromize, get rich of money by making happy a vast number of random players, but dont claim to have done a fully immersive RpG as UOL.

I kinda agree with you but have come to terms with not having open pvp everywhere. Besides the game has so much more to offer and after following the game i am now 100% in love espicially the deck system its simply amazing imo.

PS. Its UO? Online is one word.. Did you play it? ;d

 

Full PvP server for PvP Players.

 

I think people are still getting use to leveling. We don't have many people out there who really know what the blessing of the oracle is, and why it needs to be removed.

Although I've nailed a few people flagged for PvP in towns though.


***I don't know if this was the case or if it was just a normal random encounter that just happened to have a PvP guy in it with no wolves or anything else in sight, but I did have a random encounter and right in front of me was a dude flagged for PvP. He ran for the hills though. When I gain another level I'm going to create a PvP deck that has more Pulls to keep people from running.***
