Regarding item loot.

[Billbike]

Item loot will force the population to roll casters for low risk pvp.
Iv never enjoyed playing a caster, I shouldn't have to just to compete because of a biased system.

Here's a better idea that I wanted to implement on VZTZ: more NO DROP items. For melee in particular. As in "I could actually get a set of respectable NO DROP gear for most of my slots, as a melee class. It wouldn't be as good as the droppable stuff I wear in PvE, but I could get by with it".

My concern with that is that it might alienate those looking for the classic aspect of it. Adding in significant custom content like new gear will change gameplay a lot. It'll also take a good deal of work by the devs, and I'm pretty sure people are ready to kill for red99 as soon as possible :P

Deleted the troll posts.

This isn't rants and flames. I'll ban people according to rules if it continues.

Those providing insightful responses, great.

I get that there are rules to be followed, but it's the PvP forum.

People are going to talk trash. Rexx Knuckle and I have been shit talking eachother since the dawn of time =/

Really? I'm aware what forum it is in. Post 'trash' in PvP rants and flames, or don't post at all. That's why it's there.

Wouldn't have to be custom beyond tagging existing items with NO DROP

But it would take some work yeah

shrug. you call em how you see em boss

If you want to enforce it that way, then I'll play by the rules and rein it in. It's your forums. But to be candid, I don't think trying to separate the "trash" into a subforum will work that easily on red.

Competitive trash talk = cornerstone of every "PvP general discussion" EQ forum I've ever posted on. Once the heads start rolling on the live server, the rage and trolling will be in here anyway. That is general discussion for red players. Nobody gives a shit about whether rangers are good in PvE, or whatever happy garbage is in the blue server chat currently.

nilbog - good healthy competition fuels a good pvp server.


Item loot is not viable on a emu population, please do not put it in. It did not work out too well on VZTZ both times, its too exploitable and hard core for a good healthy server population.

Fine PVP CHAMP but I disagree that it defeats the purpose. It just lessens the impact (for melee in particular), which I think is the primary complaint anyone needs to address with item loot. You still get your item loot but it doesn't force melees to run around in full indicolite while casters are ganking naked.

Doubt it will be implemented anyway so this is probably a moot point
