Hi Sec
Secular wrote:Having a disable/enable PvP option in the settings like some have mentioned here, seems like a far-fetched idea to me. If two or more players were battling it out somewhere in the realm, if one came close to death, he or she would just quickly back out of the game, disable PvP and then become immune. That seems a little ridiculous, don't you think? Something like this has a great potential for abuse.
it would be almost impossible do anything that is not open to abuse in 1 way or another, however i dont think the fact that you could disable pvp in the settings would make a difference and you would have already logged and saved yourself anyway
Very few people fight to the death without logging unless they are friends who agree to give the items back

You dont have to be AFK to be vulnerable to attack from an opportunist archer with a fire arrow who waits until your are red!! i have done it myself to JONY
As i am set up for PVM to level as fast as possible without the temptation to buy levels i will never be set up to PVP!! typing in a password to google wallet to buy levels after 1 too many stella artois is far easier than handing over cold hard cash
Fiora showed me how poor my PVP stats are when we fought to the red yesterday and she kicked my ass.
she has 50 more dex than me!! i dont need 50 more dex as i have 50% more dex than the highest dex'd monster this is something i have experimented with and it seems to give me the edge in PVM
Talking of dex where is warpig (dexpig)
I am not a fan of PVP ( you may have guessed) but i think it may be more acceptable to us who hate it if the attacker had more to lose.
If only the attacker could become an outlaw and not the defender? we all know that you no longer have the option of not defending yourself due to the new game mechanics (which i happen to like)
Also if only the attackers items and maybe XP were threatened? i would quite happily defend to the death if the only thing at stake was my pride and the walk of shame and not the rare item i had just paid 20million for!!
Then maybe we could get their names and addresses from the server and send around some hairy arsed gay hells angels to tech them some deliverance!! i can hear banjo music
scrap that we could just send around warpig
well that's my bit for now
More opinions please as we seem to have a sensible discussion going instead of the usual kids screaming in the playground
i hope we can all put our minds together to find a solution that keeps everyone playing this great game and thanks to creator and the rest of the crew for involving us in the further development of the game
Happy gaming all
P.S. Gandalf i know when your watching
