need more pvp content

[Turrican]

yeh, id drop my HA/SOWG for a stated torch.


......

Im a massive fan of PVP, but i agree with the "care bears". PVP is only fun if people participate. if its just the same 6 idiots its not fun.

If you could involve 200 People at an SW war.... you'd be having to much fun to notice that no-ones dropping, and the reward of sw would be reward enough. (actually you'd probarly just instantly lag out and die, as Mirs engine couldnt handle it)

Guild V Guild competition is what makes Mir, I had loads of fun on euro fighting at OKS/MK/ZT and we didnt have body drops then.

removing drops isn't going to achieve 200 player sw's lets face it, its unlikely to achieve 50-100. pve players are pve players for a reason - they put boss hunting / lvling before pvp, changing to a none drop zone isn't going to change their priority towards pvp, sure they may go to an sw occasionally if they not doing anything but their main role of the game is pve.

where as removing drops will effect the pvp people more, i expect some would even refuse to participate in sw anymore, so what was the core of sw depletes. leaving us with less reason for pve players to go to sw.

Valid points made

• There should be a free for all every 2 weeks where all guilds can participate. (i say 2 weeks as 1 week would remove the point of relics) or add a new item which drops from one of the new Orc boss's a freeforall relic.
• There should be a direct teleport from mw to sw gates (we all know defending is easier than attacking, this balances it out abit more, and is more likely to get ppl involved with 1 click than with the rting hassle)
• SW should have more incentives (a pulsing humeffect of sort at their feet would be a good start to distinguish sw owners as mentioned by Wildgirl) - maybe some sort of commemorative hall of statues to display each sw owner from past to present (with dates held)
• A guild ranking tab - perhaps number of days they held sw in a row, would have to start fresh as noone has been interested in sw since start of server lol. (perhaps number of kills at sw if possible?)

I been wondering about an idea I had for a little while now... Basically a small warzone area where to get to the area you must be completely naked, no kit, no armour, no weapon not even a torch or stone and once there you arrive in the "waiting room" where an NPC will "loan" you gear for your class. (Obviously there should be no way whatsoever for anyone to teleport or be recalled from this map.) - Only way to leave is to be naked and trade your "borrowed" gear for a "Competition exit teleport".

The whole point of this place is for people to have fights, be it 1 on 1 or 10 on 10 with the exact same kits... So it becomes about skill more than the fact you got a HA and SOWG and +7 boosted gear.

As I said, just an idea... Not sure how well it would/could work on mir but heh, the idea is out there for people with the know how to try things with it, if they so please.

If this is a stupid idea then feel free to shoot it down. :'(

Non of you bothered reading the original post then as this has nothing to do with sw....

While it may not have anything to do directly with SW we have expanded upon the original topic of "More PvP Content" to include improving PvP (Currently) in general.

Yes you have expanded to the same old sw thread which is limited and not very interesting. As this thread has become a sw thread I will expand in a new thread what we want to happen and why it is better than this.

Far from it, we have discussed the addition of new areas and what we like to see in said areas.

Probably true, but removing body drops would encourage them not to just tt instantly at boss'es. Maybe they'd stick around and fight for it? and lets face it, random boss fights are much better than organised SW.

Personally i think SW should be FFA every day @ 8PM, with a balanced reward.

Just a thought like....While i personally enjoy body drops, not having them would probably encourage more PVP, it seems the one thing all major PVP want is whats making PVP limited within the population.



Off topic.

Reverance = That scottish bloke of P server? Tiertex...?

I am indeed the Last king of Scotland Teirtex.



I'm not saying remove Body Drops from the game altogether, just from SW or Contested PvP zones.

I think that there should be a certain amount of "controlled" fight areas such as SW. if SW wasn't a body drop area I would attend these. I think making some contest areas maps would be a really good idea, don't limit people to a certain kit, if people have worked or there kit let them use it. I would like to see something like on (and god for give me for these reasons) like on C.O.D and Battlefield with "Domination" and have it where the teams of 8 capture the flags for a certain amount of tickets, each time a player dies you loose a ticket. this could happen every couple of days. the only other thing is how would you reward people for this, maybe with "points" and the points are spent on special items / certain gems etc from there. I think that makes sense lol
