Open Discussion: Attack Types and the Future of PVP

[Conqueror]

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!! Stuff is actually happening!!

Removing the knockback could make daggers/fists incredibly vicious again-- so that's interesting for sure.

I REALLY like the shield block idea. Surely more people would start using their shields if something like this were in place. PvPing would be less "swing your sword randomly" and more tactical and precise like in the Spar Arena. But giving it a % chance makes it so it's not overly-used to the point where someone is just countering every swing. Or maybe that could even be a new stat on some items? (+5% block increase) etc.

I don't agree with the proposed "10-15 seconds of pure darkness" for blind. (Assuming you mean the screen is entirely black for 10-15 seconds). So much can happen in that amount of time, at least in a spar event with 20+ people. Mind you, on the overworld it wouldn't be so bad since there's so much space to randomly scramble about until your vision is returned. But for any major spar event-- this would give the dianceht users an incredibly one-sided advantage.

I always thought it'd be neat if for spar events everyone's Speed, HP, AC/WC and weapon/shield was some sort of default. So literally everyone has a balanced chance (even new players) in the spar events. There would be 0 reason for people to complain anymore about items-- it would be based purely on skill like any old classic server. And then obviously, people would have their gear and stuff for PKing on the overworld.
