I asked Stephen something a few minutes ago, turns out they have devised a very tricky system to stop people exploiting and manipulating PvP match-ups.

Just one question.

Is armour taken into account when calculating match-ups?
If not, there will be dozens of twinks. Especially with the new character slots update.

But if it is, people will try to exploit it by wearing nothing until they join into a match.

Maybe you should try to find a way to resolve these issues?

We do take armor into account... but in a way that you cannot just enter the queue naked and trick it .

We're tracking your maximum-achieved strength and using that to match you. We reset that calculation whenever a member converts to a free player. It should be pretty accurate and hard to fake out.

So for all you twinkers and exploiters, your time is up!

I should also give more credit to the dev team and the Big Boss Man :P

HERE HERE!!!! That is awsome. I will have to look up more on this character slot stuff.... Unless you mean the fact that we can go from 1 character to 3 characters in the same account now. . .

This is about PvP, not extra character slots -________-

What if your low level friends holds your equipment? He cant use it, so shouldnt be counted for when calculating his strength. And then when match begin he drops it, i pick it up, woozaaa, da new He-Man in town!

Not much that aint soulbound, but a few very powerful items arent.

Well there isn't much powerful gear at lower levels anyway, if you're talking about below level 10.
So the matches would be fairly even.

And even after that, you only get to be the He-Man once.
It would record the stats of that gear and you would have to farm for ten levels in outclassed gear just to be able to do it again.

So it's not really worth the effort.

Is it just me, or does it sound like pvp will favor the ranged classes?
If fighters cant use pots (as no one can) than whoever deals the most dmg before the melee starts will have a distinct advantage)

Fighters can kite rangers pretty easily, at least in the sneak peek I had.

Spirit of the Hare, dude.

Then just kite.

They'll have no chance if you're using dual ludicrous weapons on them.

Jinxed this wont work because they are going to look at your characters recent history. Also it wont work to do a respec leaving all points off and adding when in the dungeon. They are trying to prevent cheating in this matter as much as possible.
