Pvp is not the same anymore

You know, I'd honestly play Raid more if certain aspects such as cobwebs and the 200 million pots per fight were removed or nerfed a little. Feels far too little like old-school Hardcore and much more like some kind of UHC or HCF server.

 

I honestly can agree. Sadly, I don't know if anything can be done to change it.

 

Ban CalledRainer and other ppl who do stuff like him and everything will be fine.

 

I think this is a major problem with the game and makes it less hardcore like you said. Perhaps there could be a requirement of having 25 soups in your inventory while you PvP in p4 so you can only take the extra necessities. Not sure how that could be coded though but I agree, it does need changing.

 

I don't like it either, but bringing all of this stuff gives you a huge advantage over the players who don't. Ideas will still be listened to, though. This won't be changed, unless a change is made.

i went to spawn for just that pic....

 

Rules like that are hard for the staff to enforce, and makes the gamemode overcomplicated, due to how many ways there are to bypass this. E-pearls would also lose their value, which I'm not a big fan of.

 

I 100% agree on this. From the beginning of raid's KOTHs you can see how pvp has changed. It is one change at a time, and these build up of changes is what has made raid too different to what we all used to know. The extra sets, the hundreds of debuffs, the sponges, the pickaxes, the obsidian, and so much more is just too much! And may I bring to your attention that raid is a soup pvp server, yet how many soups do you see in these inventories? This is not the same game I used to play, I have always (and still do) filled my top row of my inventory with speed, fire res and strength potions and refills and that's pretty much it, the rest are for soup. A row of essentials and the rest SOUP for SOUP PVP.

The excessive use of these new pvp tactics (the pickaxes, the gapples, the obsidian ect.) is also making it harder for new players, aspiring to compete with their team at KOTH. The amount of work they would have to put in just to get the p4 and potions is enough, but now, they have to worry about an extra set, pickaxes, gapples and obsidian. Players will start to loose interest in raid, as they see the amount of things they need to bring to KOTH is too hard to achieve.

As most of you will remember, KOTH competitors went through a phase of 'bow boosting', because one player persuaded their whole team to use this tactic, the other teams have to follow what the opposing team were doing, otherwise they would loose KOTH. The 'bow boosting' was removed after a thread was made about it, and KOTHs have been better since. So why not do the same, and take action against this excessive use of items which are essentially ruining pvp on raid.

Raid is a soup pvp server....

'Make that Change'

My usual KOTH inventory lay out, may change slightly (Due to the demand of items) but this is what I would usually bring. Obviously I wouldn't wear iron to KOTH but yeah.

 

Yikes.

But anyways, I honestly like all the different items in fights like sponges, webs etc, as it spices up fights and isn't one dimensional the entire time (imo). Debuffs could use a small Nerf imo as they are extremely annoying combined with other elements. In other words, I personally think the sponges and items are ok on their own but when combined together it is rather excessive as a whole. If there is a way to break them up a bit I think that would be fair.

 

Oh yeah, well then im not really sure.

 

Actually what about making it so you can't use these items why you are combat tagged. For example, you can't place cobwebs while you have the combat tag. Combat tag is a 30 second tag that you obtain after hitting or being hit by another player.

 

Just remove enderperals so people cant kite any more. Then you will get 2 or 3 sets if you manage to kill somebody
