Discussion: PvP Deaths (Item/Coin/XP Loot/Gain)

[Yukahwa]

I'd love to see a group of 30 naked casters.

Still, it remains true that the only lowbies with good items will be twinks, others have nothing to lose. It means twinks have nothing to worry about when they stomp on weak competition. Lame.

Monks and Rogues actually had it the hardest on the boxes with item loot in classic.

If we ignore the fact that the melee system was completely separate from what it was on live on all previous boxes, Warriors actually had it best. There's a lot (and I do mean a lot) of very easily accessible MR gear for Warriors in classic. My MR as a monk couldn't even compare to a lot of them, and I was fucking stacked. My tits were huuuuuuge. Rakusha cloaks n' shit. Them shits were ballllllller.

We all did the full JC stuff too, but SSB (Tranix later on as well), Runed Bone Fork, Mithril arms and legs, etc. went to Warriors.

Most of the time people were stacking DS potions with normal DS's though, so 1hand classes were getting railed for 39 dmg a hit.

Monks and Rogues don't really come into their own until Kunark. If you're diligent and smart with decent gear (10+ dmg piercers and decent haste), they can be pretty viable in classic. But for the most part, you're at a disadvantage. Warriors were seriously retarded good on older boxes. Rogues and Monks did output some serious DPS in PvE though.

TBQH I left Tallon Zek (and everquest) after a year or so, but I came back a few years later when Luclin was out and everything had calmed down (and gone to shit I assume), and PvPing had definitely gone out the window. I remember watching my younger brother play while he attacked what looked like an elven druid, the druid just kept asking him what he was doing, whilst healing himself. Finally he got tired of my bro's stubbornness and just gated to PoP. LOL EQ pvp went super pussy at some point. You would attack someone and they would be like - Excuse me sir, what are you doing? Is there some kind of problem? Did I offend you in some way? Hey, why not join our group? We are off to High Keep if you would like to join us - there will be cookies!

Coin AND Item loot ~ Rallos Zek was one of the most successful servers in EQ's early goings. Get yourself some no drop gear, and sack up.

Exp gain and loss, exploitable, and horrible.

Coin loot - Yes! I like clarity and personal HG's. Ty.
Item loot - Hell no! If you would so kindly read what my pal Buhbuh wrote:



Exp gain - Yes! The exp grind is going to be nuts, it would be sweet if I could get pvp exp also. Seem's like this would be a very good incentive for people to seek out others depending on how much exp we are talking? Idk.

Exp loss - I would only be ok with this if : I happen to find myself in a noob-status situation where I would get bind camped that either a) I would not suffer more than the initial exp loss or b) I just type /exit and call it a day for a silly mcphilly billybob rule.

Your Pal is a complete oxy moron and need to stay on Blue server so he dosnt loss his newbie gear and cry...Most them items are almost inpossiable to obtain and some not even classic based.

I usually don't take people seriously who habitually can't spell words right, but if you want to get into a pissing contest about what I intend to do or am in, or know about EQ, then please, explain your currently baseless, bullshit speculation.

I totally "doesn't loss my newbie gear and cry." I'm pretty sure all of that was classic that I mentioned, so...anyway, gonna go eat some garlic bread!

One on one, yes - but naked casters tend to come in groups of 30.

"We're Going streaking up through the quad and into the gymnasium! Come on everybody"

That was my first main toon. All my fights (if I wasn't blinded first) involved me bagging my leather or whatever random crap I had at that time and just standing there rooted waiting for the pain to end.
