PvP teams server is coming after Velious - I'm excited to give it a try. Will you be playing?

Where was this discussed?

Teams good if they do it classic.

Short races - Halfling, Dwarf, Gnome
Elves - Wood Elf, High Elf, Half Elf
Evils - Iksar, Dark Elf, Troll, Ogre
Humans - Human, Barbarian, Erudite

Anything other than this is lame. Don't try to CustomTeams99 it.

Item loot should be in on this server for ATLEAST a year, cause classic. Item recharging also needs to be fixed. Classic EXP. No global OOC and no PVP text.

If they do that stuff it would be fine.

It's been discussed on Sirken's stream among other places. Originally they were going to develop both togerther, and now Velious has priority but it's still in the deep distance.

I hope for item loot too and various other things but there'll be more detail on that I guess as it forms.

Team shorty aka team ugly!

[AnOldEnemy]

Classic EXP. No global OOC and no PVP text.

Pretty sure this nobody would play this and it would be just another red dead server.

Why do people only want a non-classic PvP experience :(.

PVP text is Red's version of EC Tunnel pixel dressing.

[Niedar]

No, teams sounds dumb to me.

[Samoht]

Short races - Halfling, Dwarf, Gnome
Elves - Wood Elf, High Elf, Half Elf
Evils - Iksar, Dark Elf, Troll, Ogre
Humans - Human, Barbarian, Erudite

broken. 2 teams lack bards. 2 teams lack shamans. 2 teams lack rangers. 1 team lacks necros. 1 team lacks druids. (paladins and SKs aren't worth mentioning as long as teams get at least one of each.)

plus, would the pvp population even support a 4-way split?

you gotta do pointy ears vs round ears

Pointy: gnome, wood elf, high elf, half elf, dark elf, troll
Round: halfing, dorf, ogre, human, barb, erudite

put iksar on team round ear just to make it 6 races vs 6 races. both teams have access to all classes.

[Swish]

4 teams would never be viable sadly

[Waedawen]

I don't think I have ever voted something else besides bush/towers

[Nirgon]

Cross teaming bad

Given P99 player history, it will surely happen

teams: very likely 3 teams. possibly sullon-style deity teams. possibly each team will be missing a class or two

item loot: yes. there will be some form of item loot (hopefully it is nerfed so as not to be rage-inducing grief fest levels - many of the red crowd have seen classic item loot kill server pop REPEATEDLY, on various iterations of pvp servers)

item recharging: currently on red item recharging is disabled (thank god). probably the same for teams.

xp: probably classic, maybe get a small bump.

global ooc: there may be a team-wide chat channel for each team. but no global ooc.

pvp text: unknown. personally i hope there is at least zone-wide pvp text. or if there are something like 10 deaths within 5 minutes somewhere then there is a global message about a battle taking place or whatnot. could be interesting


There is also talk of implementing some sort of anti-zerg mechanic. perhaps making the evil team FFA (evil is usually the team with the highest population/best territories), or maybe if you're on the team with the highest population then your stats will be lowered in proportion to how much higher your numbers are, or the other teams get a stat boost, etc.

[feanan]

server sounds like a waste of time/resources. but since they aren't my time/resources, I couldn't care less.

Though I imagine this should finally kill red? Or we going with a 20 pop red server, a 100-200 pop team server, and a 2000 person blue server?

[Magnar]

Because they're bad?

[mwatt]

For my money, you can't better classic EQ... unless you put out Luclin - Cats on Moon.

[buffmagnum]

No interest in this. Take down red and save resources after velious. Start 2 new blue servers at the same time 1 year after velious. Make 1 rule different. A server has a level/limit. B server does not.

A server 1-5 a day...if you want to farm and TS fine.
10-20 one level/8 hours
20-30 one level/16
30-40 one level/32
40-50 one week
Feel free to suggest changes to the above, but you get the idea this would have a more classic stigma. If you are leveling too fast you can create another char. I bet many would end up playing a different toon than what they started.

B power through make stuff up I will be on the other server. <wave>

What does this even mean?

Also, I surely hope they don't waste time on another dead red server rather than working on something that has some demand.

This person knows his stuff. I agree. The start of Luclin before the PoK Stones works for me. :p Luclin had ton better graphics and got away from the same boring stuff before.

I REALLY liked the AA system.

[webrunner5]

I REALLY liked the AA system.

And it REALLY helped out Hybrids a lot. My Ranger loved Endless Quiver. Made them worth playing by that AA alone.

[Arclyte]

2 teams is boring and will have pop imbalance issues

the greatest pvp games had 3 teams

[Xadion]

IMO Teams PVP is more fun than ffa pvp- you have an automatic group that you can rally with, be defended with and usually there are areas to chill and grand or farm that are safe- then you can venture out when its time to seek some PVP...unlike FFA where youll get ganked for the lulz at any random time

I would definitely agree with this.

[Daldaen]

Just so long as it's classic.

Need dat item recharge and classic exp rate.

Anything else is custom99 and you should load up Zek Server on live.

[Woulf]

I voted yes, but I'm not sure that I'm quite as enthusiastic as the choice in the poll.

I just started and right after I get the client I'm going to start up a blue and get used to things there.

[Tuljin]

I love the vehement opposition to anything Red from the plat-hoarding 72 hour fungi squatters who wouldn't be able to take naps between repops

Red has low population due to the timing of its release and the unwillingness of people to part with their pixels (and yes, the Red server is full of assholes, then again isn't Blue?????)

I like the social aspect of EQ and the low population of this Red server really changes the game - however the rule lawyering and FTE poopsocking and cash camp douchebaggery of Blue is completely ludicrous

Only problem is that it fractions an already small population into unplayable levels.

People will naturally go towards the 'cool' more evil races -> good races will have problems finding groups/raids/guilds

but honestly red99 right now where you can AOE *your own group* doesn't make sense. It renders all enchanter AOE spells useless if you are by a group member

[Tuljin]

Yep - you cant get away with sloppy pulls anymore and general mob positioning nubbery that nubs rely on an Enchanter for to reach 60, which would preclude a large percentage of the current Blue server

Solo Enchanters will be fine, and they will have to use single-target Mez in groups

No AOE stuns in group anymore, which would force Clerics and Wizards to stun and help with CC way more (GOD FORBID)

Best of all, no Chardok AOE. Those who make it to 60 earn it, instead of inflating the lvl 60 population even more with ppl who haven't cut teeth on their class

Tuljin I love you bro <3

[Tuljin]

Haha thanks man - at least someone doesn't think im crazy - you gotta call a spade a spade right???? I love you too I guess :-P

[sox7d]

I'll play any server where everything goes back to zero.

[Ziggy]

4 unbalanced race teams is fun BECAUSE its unbalanced. i have zero faith that this kind of server will ever happen.
