PvP Week 12
What again? Yes again. PvP week 12 is here. Well I say week, but 5 days at least. Hopefully someone can pick up the last two nights and make it a full week.
Join in, make new friends. And try to kill them.
What is PvP Week?
Well the clue is in the name. It is a week of PvP games, intended to be a friendly way to introduce new players to high level duelling. I used to write that it was non competitive, but who am I kidding? Everyone wants to win. Let's just say it isn't a competition. If you are new to PvP but worried about getting smeared all over the Blood Moor, don't be. Your new character may have a steep learning curve, but it is everyone's interests that you enjoy it and keep playing. Players can split into teams to even out skill levels. Don't expect to win every duel either though
What happens in PvP Week?
- You will get the best idea by reading the write ups from all the previous PvP weeks - see the list at the bottom of this post.
- The idea is a PvP game, every night, for a week. You don't have to play every night, but you can.
- PvP week is all about high level, bad manners rules duelling. I'm not planning to include any low fat, sugar free alternatives like aLLD18 or LLD30.
- PvP Week - The Questions Thread is a wealth of good info and is always open if you have any questions.
- I'm not doing the write ups, so if someone wants to volunteer, please go for it.
OK, you have convinced me, I want to have a go, but I have never played PvP before - How do I get started?
If you don't have a character already, look to your re-specs. Most of the standard PvM builds - Trappers, Bone Necros, Poison Necros, Sorcs, Hammerdins - can all do well with a bit of adjustment, even if you don't have a full inventory of life skillers.
If you are interested but need help, you can post in this thread.
So when will PvP week be?
Friday 14th February to (hopefully) Thursday 20th February, if someone hosts the last two nights.
