You should always have a way out of gimp para ganks....and invis pots cost 1k each....not exactly free. Seems like this thread just wants to cater to ganks and make it impossible for people to get away.

If it goes this route, before you know it, there's gonna be votes for more spells to only affect certain other spells. (if you give a mouse a cookie) pvp is gonna have an intimidating learning curve.....most likely resulting in new players losing interest and leaving...... Weve all seen the shards with 1 or 2 elite zerg gank squads that make gameplay impossible to enjoy for the rest of the community. [SIZE="3"]Not everyone has a group to venture out with[/SIZE].

If you make it fizzle....make all spells fizzle-able....that system has worked on countless other shards for years with great pvp. People argue that this is sphere bla bla....and that its trying to replicate, but bite your tongue...youre trying to change it yourself and for your own advantage....not the best interest of the community imo.

The all fizzle system would cause people to adjust, but so would any change.

My 2 cents

It's not a big change that I want to see happen here, all harmful spells already fizzle recall as where paralyze should as well. It's not nearly impossible to get away from ganks at all. Detect hidden takes 1-1.5 seconds to reveal players you cast recall scroll (1 second cast) use invis pot while casted and your 100% safe as it is. Not to mention if you have magic reflect on it's 100% safe. If anything making this change to paralyze allowing it fizzle recall would make the shard less care bare. As Taran said it's very easy to get away as of right now and there should be some risk when you venture out into the world.

EDIT:

Well recalls are part of the game, invis pots are custom but they're still in this server. Why not utilize them? Might as well remove them if that's a huge issue, but you could always use invis scrolls instead or the skills Hiding and Stealth which again.. part of the game. I just don't see the reason to make it easier for murderers to gank, going red and pvping is a choice and it should be more difficult than staying blue and avoiding fights. That's what I always thought anyway.. but hey why not, I don't mind being ganked everytime I step out of a guarded zone.

Conversely say it does get changed, and I get attacked by 3 reds who keep fizzling my recalls with para's when I'm paralyzed I can't fizzle their harmful spells to try and defend myself? It feels like a lose lose situation as I can only attack one person, or try to heal myself and what.. run to the nearest town?

Edit: Well said Kennedy.

That's where balance falls into place thus this poll. Stealth invis scrolls and hiding aren't instant like a potion that can be used at any time so it wouldn't have the same problem.

To get away from reds you can easily heal and use Line of Sight to prevent your self from dying and then attempt to recall again.
