Lame PvP stratagies...
#33736 - 08/28/07 11:03 PM

Alright, a few of you may have seen my other thread; I deleted it because I was just angry. And I had to change my stats around and such hehe.

But now, here are some problems I've had so far.

The respawn area.

Alright, so me and a random guy joined a team. I was level 37 and he was 34. We got pitted up against a level 73 Mage... He kicked our [censored] ever so sweetly. It was 23 to 1 after the 6 miniutes, he would sit in our spawn and kill us as we spawned untill he ran low on HP, which is when he would run off and charge up.

And now, my next grip is about people who SIT in the spawn the WHOLE TIME.

We went in again, laughing at the last battle. Even though it was lame, it was pretty funny. So we get pitted up against a group of 3 level 25's. Now, we knew not to expect a easy win; but we charged in and we got 2 kills, but then they would respawn right there and get us.

THEY NEVER LEFT THE SPAWN.

Please, please please please. Dev team of the best game on the net; Make a respawn time, make it so you can't camp in the spawn! This is one of the most lame things anyone can do in PvP right now, all I know is I'm never going near someones spawn again. I'm just going to wait in the middle of the map untill they get their pansy arses out!

Please do something!

I'm off to bed now, I'll check this in the morning >_<. Night!

i dont mind spawn camping that much but what really ticks me off is when you finally are about to kill the high level camper and they run off and there is nothing u can do about it

Yea there is, as a team you can ice bolt 'em, fear shot, holy roller, unnerving shout, stun, & get better gear/level up to increase your damage so they can't run away! Don't plan to stay at L 30 forever, do ya?

i dont see an issue here...

wouldnt this encourage u not to die?

if you get killed to begin with and didnt do enuff dmg to the person to make them not wana run into your spawn...then your doin something wrong.

i have been on both sides of the road (being pitted against that 1 high lvl guy while i have 1-2 team mates or being the 1 guy vrs 2-3 other guys)...in either case as soon as i start to get close to dying i use strategy...aka i run, regen, los (line of sight), all while trying to ocasionally hit my enemy.

very rarely u will face that 1 guy whos just way higher lvl than u and/or outgears u and there will be practiclly nuthing u can do unless ur team can handle being very strategic and figure out a way to outplay the guy.

so far i am very happy with the pvp system in the game, it is leaps and bounds better than Wow or d2x's pvp was/is/can be.

i say keep up what u devs r doin

I'd like to have like random spawn points. So that they can't spawn camp because you pop up somewhere else every time. I know that will make it somewhat hard people that like to group up and fight but I think it'd be the best fix for it.

Keeping your enemy out of the spawn zone will either keep people hiding in the spawn while they are ahead so they win and allow people to just camp the area right outside the spawn which is almost the same thing, except you have a little more reaction time.

I don't like the idea of spawn invincibility that much either. Unless it was under 3 seconds long. Otherwise I think it could be abuseable.

Other then that all I can come up with is locking your enemy within your spawn zone if they've taken damage with in the last 5 seconds or so. That way higher levels that spawn camp can't run off when they start to get lower hp.

Dude, when I was fighting the level 70 some mage with my buddy, when we FINALLY got him down to to like 2% HP, I used Holy Roller on him but he was just too damn fast and ran away, eventually my Holy Roller just stopped, and he came back with his spawn camping.

Also, sorry I've not responded; been gone for like 3 days :P

i agree with this thread completely also i find the teleport a little pointless.... al it does is give the higher lvl peopl ea bigger advantage, usually it is higher lvled ppl( for me) that are the people who run away... they run a little and teleport through walls etc making it impossible to catch them before they can heal. i find the skill a waste of time as i dont see how it can have much use anywhee but the pvp arena and there it is a huge advantage having a skill no one else has( i am only lvl 38 atm and generally team agaisnt 70s and 100s)

it bugs me a ton besides that charactwere wise its your build that determines your effectiveness, for eg if im facing another lvl 38 mage i know he can have all the skills i have, differing levels maybe but we have same skills, but the lvl 50+ all have something ui cannot have which i find unfair.

When I am pvping against lower levels I try not to run away unless the score is really close. I want to win and if running means I'll win I will do it. I don't mind dying though, its not about a perfect score to me. I just want to win like everyone else out there.
