[UI] PVP Protection

Players below level 12 cannot be attacked in lowers.
Players below level 15 cannot be attacked in uppers.
Anybody can be attacked in PVP maps.
Any player which is in the territory of another company can be attacked.
An outlaw has no protection.

Nuff said.

 

If a player makes it all the way to level 15 and because of the extra protection they will have had no fighting experience. Players gain fighting skills by defending themselves against stronger opponents. However, if they did bring in your second idea I would welcome it, but the sooner players start to PvP the quicker they gain fighting skills.

Also, an addition to you suggestion would be to introduce the yellow nme bar in all lower friendly maps. As soon as BP start to look after new and weaker players the sooner the server populations will grow and just maybe, those new and weaker players could become paying customers and active members of the DO verse.

 

"If a player makes it all the way to level 15 and because of the extra protection they will have had no fighting experience."
Thanks for the laugh, Next!

 

It is your idea not mine, you are laughing at yourself.

 

I didn't write that.

 

Anyway, back to your idea, can you explain to me why you think what I said was funny, then I will explain to you why it is not.

 

Because popping all the time is not fighting experience, it's training for monsters like me.
I know what happens when there is no fear of popping, even the ufe don't like the results.

 

cant see this working as botters would have a free run (knowing we are not meant to pop them) 3 events happen in lowers 2 of them been big event about people would abuse the system

 

I have a noob account it is just above FE. I do not pop as much because of the skills I have learned through PvPing. If people don't learn how to defend themselves then they will become easy kills after the protection, because they have had no reason to learn how it is done.

 

Agreed. But then again a level 5 player could bot all day and have protection because that is already in the game. They would lose said protection if entering PVP maps or uppers if the protection was for higher levels.

 

Do bots still exist? I haven't seen any so far...

 

Better than quitting prematurely right? And defending self is not hard to learn.

 

Well if defending ones self is not hard to learn we don't need protection for level 15 players, so that makes your opening suggestion mute.

 

Learning to fight is a moot point too if your opponent has better equipment either boosted or bought as well as experience fighting.

That's where a hard heart comes into play concerning no fear of popping.

 

We talking about defending ones self, not fighting there is a difference.

 

Defending ones self is fighting.

 

Why would you attack a player that has better equipment etc then you? Knowing that you will pop. You wouldn't would you. If said player attacks you, you would try and defend yourself so you can escape by using slow rockets and mines, sab ammo, emps, cloaks, freeze rockets if you have them and ship abilities if you also have them.

So like I said you are defending yourself not fighting. While you can class the exchange of lazer fire as a fight, you are however trying to defend yourself from being popped, from a player with better equipment etc...

Players need to learn how to defend themselves in order to learn how to fight. Can you see the difference.

 

No I don't.
I fight players that pop me all the time because running away never works, they are too fast.
That whole better or upgraded equipment and more bio points used can't be avoided.
The only thing these Hunters or PvPer's or just straight up bullies understand is having many shields to soak up damage, shoot back and shame them for using their speed to run away instead of chasing their prey down especially if it is me.
I now laugh at how many of them it takes to pop me or the number of times they seem surprised that I return to shoot them again.

It is a shame that more players don't employ my tactics over just leaving.
It is even more of a shame that this game imposes such feeble penalties for the bottom feeding pansies that hunt the lower maps for weak players.

 

Well I can't agree with you more in that statement. Like you said its all about being able to use tactics. But these tactics need to be learned. Having protection until level 15 (which is where all this started from), would not help a player learn how to defend themselves or learn these tactics as they are protected and have no need to until they are level 16. By that time they would be strong enough to be able to defend themselves but without having learned any skills to do that because of the protection they have had, they basically would be in an FE+ ship with no or very little PvP skill.

The sooner a player learns these tactics the easier it would be to defend themselves from these bullies. Its just like a new player buying a UFE account, they have all that power and have no idea on how to use it. New players do need more protection, but only in lowers and to about level 12 in their home maps. By that time they should be well on their way to FE if not more. Then the learning can begin.

 

Too many players don't have that kind of patience, it is better for them to learn to fight after they have built themselves strong enough to not be insta popped repeatedly.
