The Pvp Penalty Should Be Removed?

Hi all

I wanted to ask what you guys think about having the penalty removed.

Then everyone can be a pker. I mean a burizon with clegclaw gloves will easily wipe the floor with all those unsuspecting players.

You know if it was gone there would be no need to get all those pretty runewords. D2 without itemization? It sounds like heaven to me.

Removing the PvP penalty would make hammerdins and Boners too dominant. Imagine 17 000's of damage. That's 1 hit kill. What about boners? 5k damage max block. That kills anything except windies and barbs in 1 hit. Not fun.

I guess your right.

You forget Trappers and Lit sorcs as well.

They have a huge damage range, like 6 - 13 000 or 7 - 47 000. Makes it hard to deal huge damage. However, Fb sorcs, Hammerdins, Bonemancers, Windies, Smiters. Imagine slamming someone with about 2 500 smite damage in the face. What about windies? 3k damage versus max dr? Es fb sorcs? 850 damage versus 95% FR.

Turka, not sure if you started out in classic or have tried it, but that's how it is. No runewords (or runes for that matter) or crazy godly uniques exist there. It's all about amazing high stat rare items. The only uniques are norm and items stop spawing at exceptional lvl. It's weird to think back on it, but i remember Sorc's of course are the only chars that tele and Lance barbs w/ 300ed rare lances own hugely in pvp. It's much different of course, but can definately be fun.

The penalty is there to make the duels challenging. A lvl75 pally w/ a mediocre hammer dmg of 5k w/ junk gear could easily destroy a godly well equipped and experienced bvc w/ one hit. Basically the whole pvp side of the game would come down to not being able to get hit even once. Character life is just too low to allow that.

yes classic is where i came from. I miss the old days of pre 1.10 also.

Bleh as long as our life gets similar to as of hell monsters, yea remove pvp penalty plz.

without pvp penalty chars that have seeking skills (guided arrow/foh/spirit) would be ridiculously good (particularly spirit cause its unblockable and unresistable), and chars that are extremely fast (chargers/200fcr sorcs/barbs) would rule the lands

 

[Baranor]

urr... not with this synergy mess going on atm. baaahaaad idea. If you'd reduce the damage they do to say, 1/6th of what they do now, then you could remove the PvP penal.... wait a minute, its just like it is now. OMG!

There used to be no PvP penalty, then 1/2th, and eventually 1/4th... because killing people was waaaay too easy in those days.

Actually, I was thinking the complete opposite. They should *increase* the PvP penalty.

sorc's would cease to exist except to slay mephisto

remove pvp penalty is 1 hit kill for any level 59 grief smiters...

1 hit kill for any casters basically? bye bye melee duelers?

n.t.y.

Not exactly. Examples:
17 000 * 0.05 = 850. This is 17k of any elemental damage, with 95% resistances. Any half-decent pvp char, except bowazons have more than 850 life.

However, hammerdins and boners would dominate, as even now they're too powerful. It would literally mean 1-2 hits to kill _anything_.

For god sake no!
They allready ruined low lvl duelz on hardcore, dont ruin all pvp on hardcore!
