Should PvP Be Removed Altogether From SotA?

I'm way off topic here, but...

Nothing has made me more angry than going to a community event in a PvP PoT and NOT being able to kill the one player I wanted to because he was granted invuln by a dev, otherwise he wouldnt be in a PvP area.

Its this kind of special treatment that really bothers me.


End of my off-topic-ness.

 

I think it is on topic. This thread is discussing what is right and wrong about PvP. Plus, the PvP thread on the Forums is so buried, no one will see any of this.

 

It leads to a camaraderie within the PvP community. We respect each other, even the "baddie PK guy'. We know what it takes to get those skills and how hard one has to work to those kills!

We may not like each other but there is always respect for a certain level of player. Scrubs will be scrubs, not talking bout them.

Its a kinship that those who dont partake in it have a hard time understanding. Not all, there are some awesome PvE/RP folks out there who 'get it'. But if theyre not going to PvP its hard to hear their opinions.

 

I thought Lord British and Lum's cats were the only players granted invulnerability?

 

1:Is there any good official info of the PVP guidelines after final wipe? (...about flagging mechanics, about PVP zones like Shardfall, about guild wars...)
2: What are the expectation in terms of players base? ...how many new players do you expect to get in?

 

I expect a quite some players taking a look at the game... but after a couple of month without good PVP releases they will wander away again.
I find it disturbing how ignored the topic is, as it is the main point of critique from most reviews that you can find on the game. They need to come up with something that fuels the community conflict, alliances and in-game politics.

 

I share the same feelings...I really would like to hear the management point of view on this...

 

Forgive me I just skimmed through this, but he's joking right, he can't be serious. What's the point without meaningful pvp.

 

I tried PVP again today as I noticed there was a patch for the game available. Wow. . so frustrating. . can't believe the bug is still not fixed. I really hope the dev team at least have a plan to fix this game breaking bug. If I can't move with my mouse in combat . .expecially in PVP then I will just never PVP. I move with my mouse, that's just the way I play, I should be able to take a few steps closer to my target without having the "examine player" menu pop up and force me into cursor mode every time I need to adjust my position. I tried to fight the Troll again too and almost rage quit LOL.. every time I died it was because my avatar was frozen and couldn't avoid the Troll's attacks because game forced me into cursor mode for trying to move. Grrr.

 

Kind of shocking to see 30 people vote yes lol

 

This topic is unbelievable... The people who vote yes and say that it should be removed should go play simcity or sims..

They did not implement unconsensual pvp so there is a bit of a balance.. completely removing PvP is madness. I sincerely hope that you are all trolling and not serious.

By posting this topic and voting yes, you already hurt my feeling :trollface:

 

Well the op wanted to make a point using sarcasm and it pretty much worked.
Some are trolling. Some are serious and should play Sims because every mmo environment is probably too much competition for them. Someone could steal your Mob or ressource node *gasp*

 

The people who vote "yes" here are just trolls begging for attention.

There is no sane person on earth that would want to remove a feature from the game that is 100% completely optional , and where removing it would do nothing but hurt the game.

This thread should not even be open, no idea how it could reach 7 pages.

 

I demand this topic to be removed.
I reported the OP as well. Advice you to do the same.
There is a VERY CLEAR difference between proper discussion and excessive trolling.

 

I demand that you stop to demand moderation.
Did you see how old this topic is?
If you pratice necromancy it's your own fault ;-)

Fact is OP got what he wanted. A clear vote FOR pvp.

 

Yeah PVP was removed already... so get along with it ^^

~You want a cookie cutter, or you want what we came for?

When I first saw this post I knew it was just a trolling fest thinking that we're a finished game.
Please feel free to enjoy buying the game again when our PvP is developed.
We take allot of hits because our game isn't yet finished.
You like trolling in the mean time?
Then knock yourself out...

Pretty much this.

One has to wonder why most of the questions in telethons, hangouts, postmortems that are being answered are related to housing and decoration...
And when do we get answers about combat and PvP, we get answers like "other games do PvP flagging the same way" and we make this face:



...which doesn't bode well.

 

~I Personally Think it's the Fishing Dis and They just Aint Talking~

When they know what they want to do with it, then they stop talking about it.

I saw the same thing happen in Fishing, nothing new. They scheduled it all somewhere in the planning blueprint and it's a done deal. Our combat skill's particulars are headed the same way. Much of the information that was known and then changed, become slowly dropped off from their talking topics so they can drop off into the myths and wonders in the game. I hammered them about fishing and called them all the names in the book over that subject of fishing and got nowhere other than a few dribbles about it being similar to UO's fishing but with the inclusion of bait.

So even if we had Kacey write our questions down on his cupcakes about it, I don't think we're going to see any answers before they're ready to give us more or not. They could also be waiting for a larger audience or for migrating geese before answering back. "When it happens it happens"

You've been here long enough to possibly remember when we had no combat at all, and then that became the only topic they'd jabber about.
If you ask me, I think the subject travels in waves of the seasons depending on the transit of the planet Mars ...
