Major Dom 1297 Share Posted June 24, 2013 P.S To all that say those with bad computers lose? I counter you with this, my PC is probably the worse PC anyone could use. It at best gets 100 FPS, yet that is a rare occasion. I can still PvP and I still win most of my fights. Why? Not because I have a good PC, because I use tactics and technique. 100FPS is a godsend, I get anywhere from 8-10, 13 on my best days. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Guy 223 Share Posted June 24, 2013 1. Love Arozta's post, day made. 2. If this is serious thats it, I'm done rping here. Bye LotC. Later, What's funny is when the system was changed to RP as default none of the PVP'ers left we kept PVPing. However the attitude of the opposing force "RP fighters" see no other compromise then leaving the server. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy771 900 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I can PvP just fine and have as good a connection as any and I still think this is not right. A better Idea is to stop trying to force a default and just let players agree on what type of combat they want to do, defaulting to RP was much more fair however because it gave both side equal opportunity. Now the RP is based off of OOC actions, what if someone doesnt have a good PC? what if there internet is bad? Overall I feel that this is a bad Idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdwhisperer 1174 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I'm kind of divided on this. On the one side, I can see how it will reduce the ammount of fights that happen in a day. On the other side it means anyone with a VA can attack my character for little reason and force me to PvP. Even more ridiculous, she would have a better chance of winning in a PvP fight than she would realistically. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pnoynoy 108 Share Posted June 24, 2013 If you think Lord of the Craft has become a PvP faction server, you obviously haven't realized that you can do things beside combat. We're going back to the "Aegis Glory Days", but with much more experience and knowledge of what is good and bad. How developed were we in Aegis..common :I Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drelik 865 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Awesome, now what about unarmored Orc's killing humans who have full iron armor and swords with their fists in PvP? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyuin 65 Share Posted June 24, 2013 And so the great: "Mina or your life" shall return. Tis a shame really...Welp guess I'll just have to destroy my current character's personalities and make them into magicians. (On a sidenote: I feel horrible for the Mage team as now they'll have a flux of people wanting magic to escape PVP) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neri 3590 Share Posted June 24, 2013 What about Dread Knights? What about villains with good ways of killing? What about people who come to the server for roleplay rather then pvp? With the exception of DK's, we still had excellent villains back when PVP was default. Hey, look at it this way. We're RP fighting default. How much PVP occurs? TONS. Reverse that statement and that is what will occur with this change. Right, anyways, i'm going to make this my final post and scoot off to do damage control elsewhere, because uninformed people are super-uncool. Basically, RP combat at the moment is massively inflated - there's less RP fighting on the server than PVP fighting, but it takes up so much darn time, creates so much OOC friction, and is just so darn loud to other people that you're bound to get a disillusioned idea of how much RP fighting takes place.

Telanir 6975 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Okay, I'm sorry, I love you guys far too much to just say here's this, come back later and we'll tell you. I'll write up a post for the reasoning, but until then, please give us your trust that it is for the better, you can look at the details in a bit. ^-^ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetosion 2062 Share Posted June 24, 2013 What about Dread Knights? What about villains with good ways of killing? What about people who come to the server for roleplay rather then pvp? VAs are still require for murder, RP fights are still there for the consenting, anything using magic still defaults to RP fights as stated in the OP, and those who aren't fighting characters needn't be fighting. Maybe knightly orders will actually have something to protect now. This gets rid of a ridiculous amount of power-gaming and makes it so that you have to actually be good at using a sword to be a master swordsman, which is great.

Jarkarll 314 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I've truly never facepalmed so hard in my life. This is the worst decision the staff has ever made. Ever. You are such an insightful person and add so much to the discussion at hand. The issue really is that everyone is saying, "I'm facepalming so hard right now, bro." At least give some other options or some remedial for to balance it. It's clear this isn't set in stone yet. If you want to get something across to Telanir and Tythus, complain in this livestream. Bickering in this thread will only lock the thread. I'll just say one thing though, in Aegis it worked, and very well. But let's take a little walk down memory lane, a lot of **** has changed since then, especially the playerbase's mentality. Don't disregard that you made a choice that the community was split in half with, ergo half the server leaves, and half the server stays. And with the current addition of plugins with no one's consent or even forewarning is surely bringing that numeric variable of people staying to an all time low since those crap island in between. When there were only about thirteen to fourty people online at any given time. Better yet just make it so that the players decide instead. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetosion 2062 Share Posted June 24, 2013 100FPS is a godsend, I get anywhere from 8-10, 13 on my best days. I get 3-20 fps, I have a shitty mouse, and a terrible connection, and I still would prefer PVP ;D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
