Looter Report post Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) Just an idea but one thing that puts me off pk is the fact i always get gang banged lol, would it not be possible to make some kind of arena where it is no drop and impossible to escape once the fight has started, ofc no exp could be gained in the arean so it wouldnt become a haven for pvp. and it could be even better if there was some npc that you could maybe type the name of the 2 people intending to fight (for maybe a small fee) this way people could agree to fight to the death with the person chosen. i also think it could help encourage non pkers to give it a try and develope pk skills they otherwise wouldnt have because in my experience they get pissed off with pk before they have a chance to develope any skill, in time once they have the skill maybe they would venture into normal pk more often. i think this could also be cool in the sence that it could attract an audience for big fights. and would suggest NC arena would be a great place for it if its a dumb idea i apologise in advance im a mixer and harvester not a pker, though do find pk interesting. edit: the npc could maybe even charge a higher price and half the gc goes to the winner the other half leaves the game Edited July 30, 2009 by Looter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SenZon Report post Posted July 30, 2009 It can give you exp since you cant flee imo, and NCa still gets uses everyonce in a while, maybe use WSa. Like the idea tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robotbob Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Its not a dumb idea, its a great one, so great in fact it was deemed 'been suggested before S34rCh!" in teh dark ages. Although you didn't use the words duel arena, dueling, this is basically what you are asking for, unless I am mistaken Asgnny's thread: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50237 Old thread (with Anshar\Kheres\Vanyel\Eori\Nastume\...) saying "search!" lol http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.p...p;hl=duel+arena old references to a duel feature http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.p...p;hl=duel+arena http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.p...p;hl=duel+arena http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.p...p;hl=duel+arena http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.p...p;hl=duel+arena Couple back in the dark ages of 2004 http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.p...p;hl=duel+arena http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6449l I like this idea, again, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

korrode Report post Posted July 31, 2009 great idea. but use WSa. NCa needs to be kept a free for all but made ND. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norm Report post Posted July 31, 2009 I like the idea. But mario is right, exp is not a problem, it is not worth it to have to die after the first round of pvp'ing. I say keep it simple tho, no trying to force agreements on equipment restrictions, at most, maybe utilize gossip for people who want to find a fight ( like the match command).

Looter Report post Posted July 31, 2009 @robotbob .. i had the idea a few mins before i went to work so was in a rush, search did my head in with One or all of your search keywords were below 3 characters or you searched for words which are not allowed, such as 'html', 'img', etc, please go back and increase the length of these search keywords or choose different keywords. and Sorry, the board administrator has enabled search flood control. Please wait at least 20 seconds before trying again. and if i had found them its unlikely i would have read all that just to find the idea's where similar and if i did i would have then had to kidnap someone elses thread causeing people to read more than they have to , and besides the possibilties and attitudes of the game change over time as the game and games possibilities change... its always worth mentioning some ideas even if similar was mentioned in the past (example) how many times where people shot down for having ideas to make running available in game only to be answered ..search is your friend and besides its impossible.... yet it happened and became possible (then didnt lol) on my 1st day off work i will take the time to read the other suggestions maybe there is ideas there that could be added to this to make it even better. i also agree now that the exp would not matter.. like i said i was in a rush and hadnt thought it through completely .. sowwy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I didn't post because I'm a search-nazi , only to say its a great idea and perhaps, in all of our suggestions over the years, exists a work-able solution that could be developed. Your post is short and sweet, a way to fight (one or more) people, in a pre-arranged contest without outside intervention. Plus you covered wagering in your edit, not all of us have the free time to write epic posts Asgnny's idea probably is the most recent and probably the most timely with the current development of EL. Since we have a 'instance' for PvE, it seems reasonable the system exists to make this PvP as well. On leaving it in player's hands: I don't think leaving it in the hands of the players, to form duels will ever work, good will and any noble combat does not exist in pk in any game. All of the agreed duels I have personally experienced in the past, were merely set-ups. NCa is THE place where someone hides behind a wall, and the -dueling- party is jumped by his -partners- friends. KF never faired any better, so a new arena will not solve the pk setups of the past. Also I don't claim any sort of personal honor in this at all, I have jumped many people there myself, playing my boogieman role of an assassin (or asshat depending on your perspective).

trollson Report post Posted August 3, 2009 Most relevant previous discussion I recall would be the "Duel feature implementation" topic. For the system to support duelling, I would favour reusing the "trade" window. This would allow the players to accept a duel, as well as placing a stake on the outcome (which would be removed to a "safe place" if the challenge is accepted). Of course, fleeing would count as losing the fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This of course so people dont get spammed by noobs that try to duel you over and over and over and over and... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
