Felonious, before I start explaining how the PvP works I've got to say something:
The walls, seriously dude, do you think you came up with that idea? We've used walls here for decades, for yeeears. I've used walls at the Britain Bridge since I started playing UO, and yes - with this PvP-style! It's nothing new, people didn't just put "dispel field" into their hotkey-bar, they have had it for a long time.
Ok, now when that's done I'd like to reply to your posts:
The PvP is way more advanced than it LOOKS when you watch people duel. You don't "see" that people mix scrolls and normal spells (scrolls are faster but either does less damage or intakes more mana), the same powerword is shown above the head so you don't notice that, but it happens. What you also don't see is how much more advanced the PvP gets when GOOD players fight and actually use more spells, good spells, spells that the "mediocre gankers" may not use.
I for example always run around and cast a wall behind me to use LoS to my advantage, to make people fizzle spells. After that I make them waste their mana that way and then I gank them back WITH LoS using that wall, BUT with our PvP. Our PvP does not rule out LoS, it just changes it. Most people here just doesn't realize that or even tries that.
I'd also like to mention that weapons do matter here! Sure not if somebody is RUNNING AWAY from you! (but that is same at the fizzle shard as well). If they however actually fight back at you then you will have to use the weapon unless the other guy is a complete newbie who knows nothing about healing. This shards 1vs1 duels is a balance between weapon damage AND good spell combination and timing, you can't really do without one of them if you are doing a 1vs1, and that is how it should be, to make weapons "worth something". I have duelled several times in the fizzle pvp arena arena, I have WON a lot in the fizzle pvp arena, and no I have not even set a macro on a weapon yet. (not saying it can't be useful there as well but I do not need it at least, not while I am duelling on a ride anyways, people just can't catch up). I'm not saying that weapons aren't worth something at fizzle pvp tho, I'm just saying that when you are on a ride it's actually even less used than here, even in 1vs1. Here you actually have to use it in 1v1 if u want to kill somebody EVEN if you are on a ride.
Ok, that's all I had to say for now. Thank you for choosing Imagine Nation and I hope you will have fun here, once you give our PvP-style a chance and realizes that you CAN use LoS here too, and that it is a lot of fun!
(Trust the fizzle pvpers who already tried it out and likes it! There are several of those here at the shard already, and they all sounded like you when they came here)
