Dramatic Wrote:- We used to wear armor in open duels /hunting / tournaments, but not in ganking. The reason we didnt wear armor in ganking its because when you're facing a group of..lets say..5 enemies..ur lifebar can go down from full to zero really fast, so fast that you wont even notice till your screen goes black :p, but that doesnt mean everyone kept their armors in their banks..in fact there were some ppl who had the guts to use armor while ganking even knowing that they would most likely lose the entire set.
- No, melee weapons were not any weak, but there were only some type of weapons wich were the most used around. example > ( battle axe when it comes to speed & slowly burn the mana out of ur opponent , and bardiche when its all about raw hits )
- Just because pk is generally about teamplay doesnt mean it cant be done solo. There are many ways to be your own " one man army" just be being in the right moment at the right place . example> ( some people from different crews are fighting each others and you start taking people down as their life bars decrease)
-Im not sure what kind of filter you're talking about..obscenity filter maybe?
- No idea who you're talking about
- The " who were the best people around on xuo topic" has been brought up several months ago in the forums and as far as i remember it ended up being a lame discussion over who you liked the most , skills aside. I can assure you the best xuo pvpers ( im not saying good pvpers, im talking about the TOP PVPERS ) are actually nice people and helpful in every aspect of the game.
werd cela.

Man, u either need to learn how to heal yourself or stfu. If u cant stand up to the ppl attacking u, you best learn quickly cuz there isnt anything wrong with the way the PvP is setup other then u cant hang with the big boys. You'll get to know the PvP and realize its not that difficult to comprehend. XUO was not about naked fighting or anything u said but for now when the majority of the shard doesnt have the supplies to defend themselves it could very easily be done that way. Basically ive heard a lot of talk about "hunting alone u take the risk of being killed and getting screwed out of your belongings is a common risk". Same thing occurs if you decide to go out of town and get ganked by a couple ppl. You left town and you got killed. Dont ***** about the end result cuz ive been attacked by 2 or more ppl and i was able to heal myself and make it back to town. I dont see why it should be so hard for u. Dont get me wrong i played on In:R and the PvP system was a lot different but I think a lot of you arent putting the effort into learning the new attack methods and just playing it off as a reason to whine and complain cuz u got killed. Work with the new system and give it a shot before you start making posts that have already been made numerous times before and adapt to the new lifestyle rather then ***** about how UO life is so tough for u. Honestly. its not that much of a change other than the spells are different and u have to use scrolls more often. Deal with it. Good Day.

Ganking is so much fun. 2 v 5 or more is always a great time. Separate and conquer.
1v1 would require all those. When ganking it's about numbers, but also takes skill. Especially with timing, resing, healing, amidst a whole bunch of people.

It is perfectly normal for people to gank without armour, it happened all the time even on IN so I don't know whats so different here. Also IN players are introducing the use of weapons even in large groups. Ive seen a bunch of bunch of IN players (you can tell because everyone has elvin bows) trying to kill the naked xuo pkers and its really quite interesting. Unless they run off the screen the person who gets targeted by the elvin bows almost always dies and with so many IN players we may force them to start wearing armour, you never know but just wait till the lag goes away and people finish macroing.

Elvens hit a bit to hard and way too fast - thats one
Another weird thing is casting 10 Vas Flams from a scroll in a row it takes about 10 seconds to kill a man with full hp, should be fixed i think

Having read a few more posts, and scanned through the rest, I can say that I have no problem sitting in a group and healing, reflecting others and myself.
I know what ganking is, so you don't have to explain why people do the things they do for it. My question is, is that ALL people are going to do outside of tournaments? I heard all this talk of "hardcore" PvPers, but it really sounds like everyone just runs around in large groups ganking one person at a time. That has always been the newb way to fight, on IN at least. Will anyone ever fight 2 v 2 or 1 v 1 using armor and weapons, without running through 30 scrolls first? Id name larger numbers, but it seems that with any larger than 2 v 2 it will be nothing but ganking.
And now it sounds like more people want to make it EASIER to gank...
BTW, its not so much the PvP system Im talking about (though it is extremely imbalanced, but apparently IN players don't get anything important in the merge, so that won't be changed I guess). It is the people. Friends and I have thought of lots of ways to survive / counter the ganks. However, what happens when their mana runs out (which is actually a stupidly long time...)? Will they actually stay and fight you "normally?" I highly doubt that.
But really, hearing that we were merging with a PvP shard, I was looking forward to lots of good fights. I am now seeing that all the fights I was looking forward to will atually be nothing but scrolls and potions for a minute or so, followed most likely by lots of running and recalling.

I watched the tourney for a while yesterday and i want to ask, is that the true full XUO PVP or people still doesnt use something?

That happens because we are full of noobs, if people who knew how to PvP appeared this would change. Every time I see anyone outside of a guarded area they start to run like hell and recall. No one dares to fight if they are in inferior numbers, just think about it.

I don't think anyone has any right to speak against ganking, PVP is all about killing so if you kill more people and have more fun doing it in a group then who cares. In the end, if you leave town with your pretty armour on and you get spanked by 5 people it's your fault for not a) being good enough to kill them or b) knowing how to get away
Barricades? Cmon man that's running not fighting.
