My PvP experience

1) Spawn
2) immediately attacked by 4 players spawn camping
3) Die
4) Repeat twice
5) Log off
6) Log back on an hour later
7) Repeat 1,2,3
8) Declare this is FUN..........NOT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I will team up with you. Lets make them feel some PAINNNNNNN...

Seriously, look me up in game.

 

Tip: Log in with Single Player Online and get out of the PvP zone.

 

Single Player Online is for not pvp zomes, or is supposed that should work like that (maybe that works for now). Team him!

 

I can see how that would get old after a while. I was having a lot of fun being ganked by multiple people, but that is something I am use to in the type of games I play. I kinda have fun seeing how many I can kill before they get me. 4 v 1 was hard but 3 v 1...I usually were able to kill 2 before they got me.

I do suggest grouping up it does make it more fun to have at least one other person on your side. Granted since healing seemed to be self target only we should expect to die a lot.

 

/Zone Vengeance there is a boat area where most pvp goes..
Sounds like you were going to the PVP zones on the path south of Owl's head.
You might have better luck doing the command above.

I put my house in Owls head so I can /zone Vengeance , after /zone home to easily travel vs the boats from KingsPort.

 

As far as I know, the way SPO mode is working in PvP scenes is the intended effect.

Mind you, even in SPO mode you *are* actually still able to PvP, there is simply no around to attack (I tested it using "/zone" to bring another player in my SPO instance, and was able to duel without interference).

 

Now you know why I don't PvP... ever...

 

I don't know how is working now, I didn't try it but I believe you, but the idea is that the PvP scenes should not work in SPO. Remember that the point is that there will appear especial resources and other stuff. If you could just collect them in SPO that will have no sense (at least that was the idea the last time that I read about that). Maybe actually is not working because that system is still not implemented.

 

Byt the way, anyone with this problem could just /zone Valemark maybe.

 

Single-Player Instances generated from PvP-enforced scenes can easily be constructed without any of the additional resources. The devs have noted that is their current thinking on the matter.

It wasn't an issue.

I intentionally used "/zone" to test PvP in SPO mode.

 

I don't think you should have the expectation of being able to stroll around solo in a combat zone. On what battlefield in recorded history has this ever been a good idea, realistically?

PVP is by definition a multiplayer activity, and in an open PVP zone, if you don't take advantage of the multiplayer part of the game, then yes, death is going to be the state where you will find yourself most often.

 

you got ganked... it's not fun for you but it's fun for those doing the ganking... if it wasn't fun for them then they won't do it...

 

I'm no pvper, I never pvp, but with my sad skills as a pvper I have about a 60% success rate 1v1. It takes a bit getting acquainted with the system so watch Mad Hermits Video . Having said that, after release I STILL won't be running into any pvp area with my best armor if there is full looting, Not gonna happen!

 

This is the pre alpha test of PvP, not the release version.

Test goal: can we target and kill other players?

Yes.

Subsequent test goals should include the design and implementation of a reputation system the will provide harsh consequences for unlawful attacks made by one or more players against one or more other players.

That is a far more complex task that won't be available until much later in the development cycle.

We are still in kindergarten. Don't expect quantum physics quite yet.

 

You can look me up to. Worked quite a bit with Espada last night securing the bridge that even burning toad couldn't take from us! I'll be on in the morning and would love to help you if you need it. You can't solo PvP, you will die.
