Deathwhisper PvP
Angry GM Failure, where can I get banned pvping? (screenshots)
GM Karelthar - you sir are a failure.

I know of people who have been banned for pvping. Something to do with areas not easily accessable, and therefore inappropriate for pvp combat. In order to avoid being banned myself I filed a petition this evening asking about FOUR very specific locations.

GM Karelthar handled my petition until he choked on his own vomit.

FIRST LOCATION (requires a player to jump twice, once while sprinting) Main benefit: Range for spellcasters / range dps it's limited though.

SECOND LOCATION (requires a player to jump once) Main benefit: allows a player to funnel pvp as to not be overwhelmed by a group.

THIRD LOCATION (requires a player to jump once unless you're coming from the direction of the ressurection point in Oasis) Main benefit: you can't be charged from this location easily

FOURTH LOCATION (requires you to walk up a set of stairs) Main benefit: you can't be easily hit or charged from this location, nobody can get to you in any short period of time.

[GENERAL OVERVIEW]
LOCATION 2.. "is not pvp appropriate"
WHY.. "measurements beyond normal movement are required to reach that location"
THEN.. "is jumping considered normal movement?"
GM FAILURE.."jumping, in and of itself, is normal movement. however, as i have said the first two locations require measures beyond normal movement to reach them.
THEN.. "what is the 'beyond normal movement' required to reach the 2nd location?"
GM FAILURE.. AND THEN HE PROCEEDS TO CLOSE THE PETITION, WITH NO ANSWER TO WHAT "beyond normal movement" IS REQUIRED TO ACCESS LOCATION #2.

What's the point? Defending your battlekeep LOCATION 4. If locations 1 and 2 will get you banned for pvping there due the fact they require measures beyond normal means of travel (UNDEFINED), will I be next for standing on top of my battlekeep firing my crossbow? What ****'ing undefined measure is required to reach LOCATION 2. We may never know.

Karelthar you ****'ing fail sir.

It''s my job to be objective, it''s my right to have an opinion.

I've always believed PvP should be wholly unrestricted, so I support this topic.

However, if I had to garner a guess, I would test the following:

1) Can other classes hit/target you in these locations? There may be an "invisible wall" that prevents them from targeting you, even though you can see them.

2) Are the jumps difficult/exploitable? For example, are you jumping over a "hollow wall" to get there?

3) Do spells fire properly at you in those locations? Sometimes in AoC, spells wouldn't work on uneven terrain.

 

However, if they banned a player for defending their battlekeep from the walls, I'd be not only disgusted, but likely would not play Age of Conan again, either.
