I won't. It was just too buggy and would rather have a system that makes more sense. A for effort on the system. Now we seem a lot closer to a real release.

It was an interesting test, but it still never handled some of the problems of oor characters in raid zones. Nothing you could do about lvl 5 scouts sitting at naggy waiting for engage to tell the 6 people waiting to bone your clerics to log in. This addresses that.

[mimixownzall]

If they get it working as intended I'm all for it. With the no boxing rule and restrictions in place to prevent it, the oor healing should be very limited compared to past servers which allowed boxing.

What exactly was buggy about it? It worked fine.

ya i missed buffing noobs then killing them

You obviously didn't use the system, because that is not how it works.

If it wasn't buggy anymore, why was it taken out Rogean?

[Wonton]

Someone might have asked this, but what happens when a level 21 and 15 clash? 21 is in range to 15, but 15 isn't in range to 21

edit: nm, reading comprehension failure. sick update. thank god no level 1 clerics will be training naggy raids, i have terrible nightmares about that

In all likelihood it would destroy the entire space-time continuum.

You obviously didn't use the system, because that is not how it works.

it absolutely allowed me to attack people and not be attacked on every single occasion. i have been lower level. have not gained over 21 on a single char.

In crushbone, for example, i sat at zone in at around 15ish% hps. someone orange color (thier name) would zone in. they would look at me and attack cause i was low hps. nothing would hapen. i could cast on them and anyone else above my level and noone could attack me back. was too low to do any dmg not to mention had only like lvl 12 spells even if i had wanted to kill them i couldnt.

however the fact that there was no retribution for my actions was enough to tell me that the dynamic levels for pvp range was not working as intended (i fucking hope).

Rogean and such, i appreciate you ALLOWING us to use your server, however you shouldnt just implement things and then ask the 10 people playing what they think. Try testing it out for yourselves. thats how non half elves do it.
