PVP Changes.

Post by Carnak » 08 Mar 2021 20:31

Code: Select all

Greetings Folks,

To create a less hostile environment to test these new changes,
we have decided to temporarily disable the ability to hinder a
players movement. This affects spells, abilities and items.

Best regards,
Carnak

hi can someone clarify the use of fatigue poisons and creative use of mob blocks (e.g. <assist yeti>) in this confusing new pvp environment?

Uhh... good point. Guess we didn't think about fatigue poisons. I'll have to get back to you on that. It's pretty hard to kill someone with those, though? Unless it's a very small player?

As for blocking mobs, well, now when I read the common board note again, I realize that is a bit unclear. It just says "abilities, spells, and items that hinder movement". To clarify, we meant abilities, items and spells that PLAYERS can use to prevent other players from moving. NPCs will continue to function as normal. Don't wanna risk it? Stay away from those NPCs for a while.

As the topic is PVP, I doubt anyone could misunderstand and believe NPCs are also robbed of this ability. :)

Any good PVP player uses the environment to their advantage.

It's part of the huge PVP imbalance.

So when are we getting these things back? The changes have stopped, for the time being...

Carnak is, as you know, working on spellcaster balance. I hope we will be able to re-enable the PVP tools along with the next "patch", which I think will come fairly soon. As you know we wizards rarely want to make promises of specific dates, but the goal is of course to complete these major changes as soon as possible, and don't leave some players in a "void" waiting for updates. The less time we spend in that void, the better.

The poison doesnt kill.
The fatigue poison prevents a player from running away, which is what the OP was about.
If the fatigue poion is strong, and reduces a players stamina in a very short time, it might be very lethal for the biggest players.
And ofc, almost exactly the same effect as the other 'stopping players from running' situations.

I think it would be hard to disable all doors and similar "trap"-locations in the game, so they will remain. Besides, I think things are stable enough now to enable the movement stuns again. When that happens, there will be a common board post, though. But I think there really is no reason to keep them disabled any longer.
