Ladder System for field PVP

Post by bluntman »

For field PVP like there would be seasons, and every season a sign up stone opens up at all the banks and it costs 10-20k to sign up, only one char on all your accounts can. Every time you get a kill you get points, and say your the lowest on the ladder if you kill the top guy you get more points, if your on the top and you kill somebody on the bottom you don't get that many points, and at the end of the season whoever is on the top 3 gets a cut of the gold from the sign up stone and a trophy or some kinda item.

What you guys think?

ps: i know it was metropolis ladder system it was a good idea

it would be more PVP for the shard and everybody would be orange to eachother so no worrys about murder counts, only thing is magic would have to be allowed in town so its fair for mages

Eh...if people want tournaments they should host them and run them themselves. I mean, things like CTF are cool and the existing tourneys are fine...but I see no reason to get carried away with tons of tourneys, point systems, ladders, etc. This stuff never existed in T2A...at least not that im aware of and not tracked to the extent some stuff is being tracked here.

I agree Ronk, we've had i think ONE player run tourney since this shard started.. It would be AWESOME to win something other than a trophy (ie. 5k entry fee winner takes all but give 2nd their money back)
Player run events are always more fun i think b/c no "risk" of the game is removed..

I use to run a tourney on Great Lakes, and by run I mean I ran it like 5 times before I stopped. I thought about setting up a character here with a tower and such for auctions, tourneys, etc...im just too lazy to farm the gold. I think I have like 8k to my name. Farming drives me bonkers so I dont' do it.

But I agree. A player tourney has to be hidden or you gotta have security. Then of course its possible to break the rules and maybe hope you dont' get caught. Just more dynamic.

Yeah, I gotta tower with a "duel spot" up top.. Not sure if i'd be willing to host a tourney but i'm down to let someone use it
On catskills I entered a "Friday-Fight-Night" with a guild named Guardians of Light (GoL) who were ontop of veteran members of Cats FOREVER.. anyways it was a huge event.. something like 100+ people from about 20 guilds or more..
Winning team (was 3v3 that night) took home 350k.. wasn't me but it sure made somebody happy- especially since nobody there was 7x or anything.. just out with friends to get a lil PVP action =D

It WOULD be interesting to see them spice up the current pvp tournaments, IE: 1v1 with a high cash reward...

Might inspire more to signup/logon.

Other than that, I don't know why ANYONE would want to risk a play-run system...considering how amazingly scripted the current one is.
