EZ Server

I've goofed off with some people in the Arena off of the Lake Rathe zone. Got me hungry for some PvP again.

It would be cool to have an NPC that de-leveled you to 69 or so, so that you couldn't use all the EZ server custom gear, then port you to arena.  That would somehow be the only way in, and if you were level 70 you would get ported out like in Dulak~

It would give me a reason to farm some old school gear and twink out.  Then go have some pvp on the side.

Just a thought.

good idea, somebody should do this.

i'd rock you qualin!

only problem with this is the classes in eq are so terribly imbalanced you would have the selfhealing classes dominating the pvp ring or warriors  poor squishy silk people will have no chance in this :P

not to mention with warrior AoE augs, not only would they dominate one person at a time, they would kill everyone around. high level sorc charm makes it worse

qft

please leave the rage in your rants & flames section. its better left "contained"

lol obviously i need to tell you what qft means "quote for truth"

then i apologize, always seen/ used it as "quit fucking talking". must be a Shards of Dalaya thing

dude shut the fuck up.
Also he said "delvl to 69 so people can not wear the custom gear"
pretty sure that would include your fucking 3.0 you god damn retard.
L2R

If there is a lvl 69 cap on it can warriors even still use AoE augs.

sadly no you cant, just checked

PvP was always out of whack in EQ.  Part of the fun was overcoming and adjusting your tactics based on who you were fighting.

I played all my live years on Tallon Zek(PVP) as a Wizard. That was a rollercoaster as far as balancing goes.

Sidenote: I always considered QFT to be "Quite Fucking True" sometimes people say it is "Quite Frankly Told" but in general afaik it's always been an acronym to show agreement.

ya, EQ pvp is way unbalanced but it is always fun to find tricks and stuff to show people that skill sometimes > unbalanced stuff

Reminds me of a couple people i remember from somewhere else. Meso (necro) and Dymon (shaman) always hunting and attempting to kill eachother. Was a good spectacle. Shamans are much different on that server however

I think some kind of PvP aspect may be fun on this server, but I also think that it may not be that fun though with boxed people. Is there even a way to limit a zone to 1 ip?

boxing and pvp would be a bit harder than boxing regular mobs. most people dont respond to hate proc augs =p
Also i imagine they would go for healers first.

besides, dont need to box when you have a ranger *shrug*

Rangers aren't the end all in pvp, lol.  It's a very arguable topic.

I played in Vallon Zek on live.  I knew what fights to pick, and which to run from.  Shadow Knights were the bane of my existence.  I'd fight em, in the hopes that their DT was down, if not....the second I got to 75% life, boom...dead.

Rangers could be annoying, especially to casters, but not so much to plate classes.  Except for bard, ranger was about the only thing that could even put a dent in a bard's quick ass.

Well i mean for here in particular. And i know for a fact you can put out some dmg Qualin =p I've seen those like 10k+ crits in PoD.

Jump in the arena, go to a wall where no one is really paying to much mind to you in all the confusion and pick them all off. Casters would be quick work, Warrior marginally more difficult

I'm sure though putting a lvl 69 cap on or 60 or something wouldn't make a ranger so tough. I personally think if there was a cap for the pvp it should be 50 or so that AA's woulnt be active (well the majority of them) etc... and Would help the balance a little more. Although I think with a 50 cap on mages would dominate. So I don't really know but there would need to be a cap for sure before lvl 70

Perhaps an npc similar to roa that makes sure you are nekkid, delevels you to 50, gives you balanced pvp gear and sends you to the pvp zone?

Honestly, it would be awesome to have 2 flavors or arena.  Level 50 arena, and level 69 arena.  I could farm all that wonderful gear I always wanted to pvp with lol. 

Velious / Kunark gear, and Luclin / PoP gear.

Both require different tactics.

Heck....even a Level 20 Arena LoL

i used to do something like this on a WoW emu server where you could do something like level 19 and 39 pvp.

Made it not very fun because there were like 100 guides on how to have the best gear possible and everyone showed up maxed out in everything - folks like me who just wanted to show up to fight... didn't matter if those low level pvp fights were about skill not gear, its ALWAYS about gear in the end.
