Since when was being prepared not part of dueling? If someone isn't prepared they deserve to die and if two people are fully prepared and evenly matched, the one who is more reserved and cautious with their supplies should be the victor.

Also, as I stated in another topic, I am not fond of the idea that you can simply resupply in a safe area. Having to leave to restock may in turn cause some action and fun for more players. Duel stones really shouldn't be the place where you can hang out all day until you log off. That's the type of thing that makes the shard seem dead and boring, too many people not out in the actual world. Things like that make players get used to not losing their gear, even when they lose and end up never fighting where they could actually lose their belongings.



I'm all for automated events but we can't have too many of them honestly. There needs to be times of the day where you players can entertain yourselves. As it stands now we probably have more events then any shard in existence, sometimes as many as 15 a day. It wouldn't hurt to have some mini monster bash hit ocllo or the bridge every few days but if you guys can't handle the tomb of kings Eru made, I don't see that going over well either.
Running a DM every 6 hours automatically would be fine I suppose. I used to have a spawner that did this awhile back and it could be brought back.

Seriously though I don't like that players are so dependent on us for fun... It's almost as if its a kick to the ass because it makes it seem like the shard sucks unless staff is there holding your hand while you play.

Of course being prepared is part of dueling.. but even if the players are evenly matched it wouldnt matter.. there is no such thing as reserved and cautious with your supplies.. i mean unless you just spam lights or w.e.. or maybe you have like 2 scrolls left and is waiting for a crit.. You can go to a duel with 200 regs of each.. but one player can start off on the offensive.. landing more hits than you at that time so youl be healing a lot more.. eventually run out of aids but theres a water tile i think in the duel pits so you can water them.. but you also run out of the regs used to heal.. which i forget what they are but it happens.. that doesnt happen because your not reserved it happens because you need to heal D:.. especially if its two good players. And as scare said people dont really gank for regs only for scrolls and pots. a lot of people after they gank someone just leave the reg bags in their body.

I dont know if you guys added any expensive dueling stones but imagine dueling for 100-500k and you run out of regs.. not cause you werent prepared but the duel lasted forever it would suck to not have a reg stone there.. practicly giving the other guy free money.

And I dont think the shard would seem dead because everyone is at the dueling area to me it would actually make the shard look more active.. since most likely only the pvpers would be there packing the place up people would get the impression that theres actually pvp here. It wouldnt reduce ganking, if a pvper knows there are players in ocllo i gurantee you he will call his friends to gank, if he likes to gank that is plus if a new player didnt know there was duel arenas there are still tons of rpers / non pvpers rolling around pits and in towns to make the shard look active.

Well I can't argue that events need to be spread out more during all hours of the day instead of just the usual event times we have now. I can set up the DM to be automated every 6 hours now just so it spreads it out a bit.

Also I removed the regstones Eru added for now. I'll think it over a bit and might re-add them on Sunday. I do agree that re-supplying for evenly matched players is fine... I just don't like the idea of someone who deserves to die because they didn't check their supplies can survive because they can use the regstone as the please.

I understand.... But there are players that use SEVERAL supplies based on their dueling style... we cant just change our style because Reg stones are going to be removed... That doesnt make sense...

Look, I appreciate you guys taking all my suggestions into consideration, i really do because its already noticeable. I saw you test the DM today, thank you and Eru, Great job with the Reg stones but Shade, I hope you put them back because Eru did a great thing in the Duel Pits and I think we should have access to those reg stones, just UP the price if anything since their quick n easy access.

I don't like the idea of being able to loot a crystal that gives a tub or a tub straight up. Those things are sort've expensive. Everything else looks good though. :thumbsup:

You have to think of it like this though, its like 2% chance you can get a Tub plus the RandomPrize can also be altered by the Staff member hosting the event so Instead of putting a Tub in the monsters body for someone to autoloot, it would be in a random prize so that anyone that loots has a chance to get it.

I don't think I quite understand this, instead of an item being on the corpse there is a crystal that when looted and double clicked transforms into a random object? The part I don't get is how that changes anything with auto-loot when you have to loot the crystal like you would any object..?

The thing is, if you fill a body with 1000 random prize crystals, most of them empty... not only the autlooters will get the prizes, they will mostly get empty stones... it just makes it harder 4 the auto-looters as well. People can still loot and when an autolooter loots his prgrm crashes when he loots to fast from what i have heard. Its just a suggestion though.
