Lol. Yeah, it's not like you'd be trying to roll on me 5+ deep or anything. You chumps run from any fight that isn't a gank in your favor, so who's the real pussy here?
I have seen just about everyone here on shard run from a gank not in their favor so all you Big Bad Boys should stop comparing pussies quite so enthusiastically ...and yes i include myself in the everyone.....JMO.
I don't cry about ganks, nor do I cry about people calling in help. It's the people who don't acknowledge that they do this shit calling everyone else out on it while they're just as guilty that gets to me.
That's what i was saying, everyone is guilty of calling AND running (never said anyone cried about it or didn't just for the record). So I don't understand why anyone is running to GMs if they are or to IRC anyway (unless they are new as i was guilty of it often in the beginning). Just fucking grow up, i learned to just say "Fuck you nicely, kill you later" and move on. I still have bad days where I revert and bitch in IRC but it is mostly minimal and it usually has to do with RL stress then this game, BUT i don't bitch to GMs.
I remember the one time Fekk attacked Jack in destard and it was a 1 v 1 most fair fight I've ever had from that group here He cast an offensive spell, I stole his wand, he recalled out Winner Jack by forfeit !
Man...... I do love some UO..... was gone for a week but have had several really fun fights the last few days..... good times
Total newbie here. I dislike PvP because I suck at it. But I just thought why not make a say 10 sec (or whatever) period after you recall or jump through a gate where you cant harm or be harmed by other players..? Might be stupid for reason I cant tell. Im sure someone will explain to me why though...
Well one thing I see wrong with that, Pollux, is there would be even less PvP cause all the Big Bad Keyboard Warriors would run every time....and remember UO is SUPPOSED to be a game of risk....JMO.
I am not sure if recall and gate delay alone could solve people fleeing battle. I am often alone in field, and almost always out numbered. When I decide its time to leave I have no problem leaving the battle the old fashion way, running. Field PvP in UO is completely unstructured and I feel that is what makes it great. Calling in friends to assist is part of that, and even though I am often the outnumbered one I do not think PvP would have the same allure if these type of interactions never occurred. The most direct way I see to increase field PvP is to increase the population of active PvP players, for example @Erza Scarlet giving open PvP classes to players. Pure opinion from a part time (at best) PvPer.
We have had some newer people try to pvp with us recently, and it's not the heat of battle that has them discouraged. It's the constant griefing... not only do they get dry looted, horse killed and Rez killed... but then the shit talking and belittling start. I've been guilty of doing all of these in the past, but when we go out to pk, we try to rez and not leave someone in a bad spot. Just these few small changes would probably have the largest impact.
Thats what youre saying is right, and ive experienced it myself when weve added a lot of new guildmembers to the -S- Stone a while back. I know my own playstlye isnt always correct either, especially when fighting your group Bigshow. That is mostly due to some events that happened in the past and some people in your group showing less, if any respect to me (or pretty much anyone). However, ive noticed that it got a lot better recently, and i welcome it! Should there be troubles with new players in your group, let me know and ill work on it.
I try my best to be a pretty decent dude..... however if you bring in 5 or 6 people to fight me and one other guy...... we usually fight..... but if we dont someone and they are loot grabbing and jumping back in we loot.... just to slow down the process of you getting back into a lop sided fight..... also I try to res if you are in a bad spot, but i feel like some people on this shard expect a res every time you pk then... Example I have killed many people right inside destard and it never fails they stand there spamming wanting a res when a healer is right outside.. that 50 mana is a pretty precious thing at certain times.... people shouldn't be jerks... but people also shouldn't be lazy when it comes to regrouping
lol Yeah because if you think ganking was fun already, wait til you get ganked AFTER being knocked off your horse!
