Is targeting someone who's 8 levels below you wrong?

[Teeaaa]

(I don't know if I posted this in the right place, so if I didn't then sorry)

I've been having problems with this level 21 guy, who's been targeting me

Targeting isn't the strong word I need for this... What I mean as targeting is killing me every time I step foot off the ledge, and yes I jumped off to try to battle my friend 10-20 times and it never stopped until I decided to quit then and there.. and not to mention when I kindly asked This guy to stop killing me, this response came up

(Tell): ------ tells you, 'Don't do request for peons.

I don't know if killing people instantly is allowed or not, but would also like some suggestions to respond to this, where I can fairly battle my friend and have fun..

I am not saying that PVP is bad, I love PVP, but it would be nicer if I can actually pvp fairly

[Hobgoblin]

you dont want to name people for this - just report and move on

i don't pvp much, but i seem to remember a npc that let you do a deathmatch type thing where you go just personally fight them without others jumping in.

that attitude is why i don't pvp lol (not yours, his)

Sorry... I'll remove the name, I'm a bit new to the forums here...

Yeah, but I believe there's a minimum of 4-5+ people, I've waited for hours and it feel slike no one goes in them

Yes, sadly almost no one uses them. There are several maps and games that no one even knows about!

ps, there are more than one PvP pits so you could leave the guy there and use a different one?

[cdbd3rd]

... just report and move on

...

Unfort, even with the snide response, there's nothing to report the guy for since he is outright killing the OP in the common pit area. Only reportable offense I can recall in there is putting someone in a Hold/Freeze of some sort and not proceeding to kill them. That turns into reportable harassment.


...

This is the best option under the circumstances. I have wandered in to some of the outer house taverns and they have been completely empty any time I've been there. (Some of those outer house pits are more interesting in design, as well.)

Now if the OP and friend moved to a different pit and THEN the perp followed them, then that starts getting into that harassment area, too.


edit:

I grabbed the wiki link to list where the other pits are at, but it also says there is an option for 1-on-1 in the Deathmatch arenas. *shrug* I don't know myself, but is something to look for.

There will always be that someone that finds someone not as strong as them that will simply keep killing someone because it is fun for them. Keeping this in mind The Brawling areas are always going to be filled with people of various types - Especially the one in the Lobster.

Options...

Use the Brawling Pits located in other taverns - House D, Marketplace and I think House J
Use the NPC for Deathmatch fights - These can be 1 on 1 and these areas are less restrictive on what can and cannot be used as compared to the Brawling pits
Ask the person to please not target you - Those that are not jerks will respect that unless you attack them. The others won't


I like the other brawling pits when I want to do tests with fellow guild/friends as they tend to be empty as compared to the pit in the lobster.

[Rawrargh]

If you want to avoid interruptions:

1 Make sure you and your buddy is not in the same party.

2 Target him.

3 Click the cog by the focus orb.

4 Click challenge party.

5 ?????

6 Success...?

I would just do as the others have stated. Move to another PvP area. There are a few of them, the one in the Lobster is usually the one that has people in it. I dont often see anyone in the others, so you would most likely have it to yourselves. The guy you asked to stop killing you sounds like an inconsiderate puke. If I was killing someone over and over and they asked me to stop I would have. I wouldnt want to ruin someones fun. No challenge in it anyways.

If you're standing in the pit .... you're fair game

Sorry you know its a PvP pit right ??

I used to PvP ALOT .... BUT now I maybe spend an hour or so a week PvPing as I have friends that still do this on a daily basis and its the ONLY way I get to game with them BUT you can pretty much guarantee its the same 10-15 people on the killing floor either

A - Killing each other

B - Seeing who can kill the "new person" to hop in first

C - Talking **** about each others builds ... oh ya and trash about each others moms

MOST low level toons you kill in PvP are just sitting on lowbie alts WAITING for an excuse to get their mains and bring them into PvP

AND most of them are usually in groups

Anyways hopping into PvP with a 8th lvl toon ...... what did you learn ??

Challenge system[edit]

The challenge system allows players to set up teams and fight in PvP arenas. Time limits can be set, as well as arena map and type of challenge. This allows players to access arenas exclusive to their party and the challenger party. These arenas are instanced, and cannot be access by the general public. Despite its availability it is the least used form of PvP.


Go to any public area.

Not be in the same party. (solo is a party of one).

Click on your friend, and choose CHALLENGE.

Set the features.

Both click accept.

Both your parties will be teleported into your own very cool PVP zone.

You open pvp you are a fair target

I was WAY more into the PvP aspect of DDO a few years back ( now i dont really care )

BUT

MOST other games PvP is a very huge part of the game.

I think your ideas are cool for sure

A way of setting up teams and having your own " arena / wilderness area " would be good

AND NO CLASS NERFS .. everything used in game works iin PvP

Keep everything as it in in game

Do i know the Warlock is gonna kick my archers a$$ ?? .... yup the fun is trying to get a furyshot into his chest before he can kill me would be awesome

Rewards for team victory ... I dunno, me pulling my arrows outta your lifeless body seems good enough for me

Uhhh ... this isn't an "idea" it's an actual real thing. I don't PvP as I think the very idea in this game is idiotic to be honest. At every level on virtually every build you are capable to faking down a mob with multiples of HP more than you have. How the hell is it at all challenging to fight another player who has somewhere in the neighbourhood of 90% of the HP that you can probably pump out in a single attack sequence. Never mind the CC and insta-kill options.

THAT being said I have PvP'd occasionally (usually because a friend / guildie was begging) and this is the ONLY way I have ever done it. The maps are actually pretty good IMHO it's just not possible to truly challenge each other when it's pretty much one shot one kill in there.

[katz]

the few times i've jumped in the main pit in the lobster, i tend to avoid attacking people much lower than me unless they attack me first... but then again i'm not a ******. if i want a more private fight i go to a lesser known pit... like the one in the phoenix in the marketplace... or i do a 1 on 1 deathmatch.

I went through a phase of disintegrating everyone I could in those pits.... disintegrate was fun*.

There are no rules for those pits.... if you want something special, maybe you should try speaking to the people that are there (tells... says.... mails.... whatever). Way back when I was in my "disintegrate people" phase... if someone had said "hey kruemeli, please, I want to try out my build on my guildie.... see what I could do better".... well... I would've disintegrated him. But at least he could've maybe felt better knowing it wasn't an accident.

Of course DDO is not a PVP game. If you are looking for PVP experiences probably better to go elsewhere!

*fun unless you miss... then you feel kinda stupid whilst the monk gets medieval on you....

[goodspeed]

if your not trolling people and making them froth or affecting them psychologically where they alter their game play because of your presence or actions whether direct or 3rd person because of those actions or because you have made the other person think that by trying to troll you they can strike back but haven't realized that you've taken their game play away by forcing them to complete an action they wouldn't have done otherwise in the revelation of sucking up their game time, then your doing it wrong!

Now revel, revel in the glorious mirth of chaos!!! MWAHAHAHAHA

[Memnir]

The killing you in the PvP pit is perfectly legal... it's the being a jerk about it that's not cool.
Not sure if it's reportable, but I'd say still give it a shot.

1) in my gaming experience, ive found that 97% of the people who enjoy pvp are not fun people to play with and legitimately o n l y play X game to troll others in pvp zones. seems like youve found yourself one of those players so just be aware that there will most certainly be more in the future. DDO's pvp isn't that bad, not compared to other games i've played, but honestly..what youre complaining about is what ive come to understand as just being common practice in any game in any pvp zone. so, while i agree with most other commenters that your best bet is probably to simply move into a different pvp area, this kind of thing does happen a lot in pvp zones in any game so expect it to happen again.
2) the few times ive bothered with pvp, i always use a private instance. i dont remember exactly how to do it but if you and your friend are in separate parties, you can set up a red team and a blue team and have each of your teams fight against eachother. i just cant remember if you can do 1v1 or if you need more than one on each 'team'.

Note: i'm not super into ddo pvp, as i mentioned, so people may come back with 'ummmm thats not how i am!!!' but as i also said, all i have to go on is pvp as a whole and as a whole in my experience, its a terrible experience implemented in games almost entirely for trolls enjoyment and most people who partake only partake to troll others who may not be as well equipped as them or as experienced. something of a power trip, i assume. i'm not a very competitive person so i wouldnt know.

That some people are ******** with tiny ****s, so they have to bully others? PVP should have a level cap to prevent such harassment. I can remember playing a Vikings game years ago. I was being repeatedly targeted and killed by this numbnut. I went around befriending higher level Vikings and brought them to the party to kick that guy's butt.

See this is something called a "game". Fun is only "fun" if everyone is enjoying it. If everyone isn't enjoying it, it's called "harassment". The "move-on" mentality means that the devs don't give a **** about their players. Guild Wars II was incredibly cool at dealing with such issues with built-in game mechanisms. The NWNs online I played eons ago wasn't. Some ******* would stand at the spawn point and kill people as they re-spawned, stripping them of their gear. See, in real life, I'd take a rock or 2x4, hide next to a building and meet their face with it as they came by. That's called "natural consequences". In these damned games, either the devs build you the possibility or you need to create one.

Get some players of higher levels than him to kick his ass over and over and over again. Since no one will stop him harassing you, you need to harass him. Some people must be taught how it feels before they learn to treat others with respect.

Nice necro. Dont hop in the PvP if you don't want to sign that you are willing to die.

[Alrik_Fassbauer]

that attitude is why i don't pvp lol (not yours, his)

Same here. It's universal. Most PvP players of any kind do not want to play fair, that's a prejudice I've built up in some years. They rather want to play little domination games. Dominate others. Make them cry, and then feed their little sadistic souls with that feeling of having "owned" someone.

I'm just not giving in feeding those sadistic trolls.

In SWTOR, there was a common tactic to attack Lowbies, to - as those trolls explained it - let them call their friendfs and thus start a "PvP war". SWTOR has a very strong war setting, that's why that was so popular with that.

Thank god most of these people left when Blizzard brought out their last game, "Overwatch".




Nice necro. Dont hop in the PvP if you don't want to sign that you are willing to die.

Yes, but this attitude is universal. It will never go away, because a percentage of sadism is embedded in humankind.

And because of that, you might see threads like that everywhere, in any game that has PvP.

[psykopeta]

oh but what would be from PVP without dram and whining "cause it's not fair just that or such"

pretty sure a well played toon with 8 lvls less can obliterate another pumpkin with 8 lvls more, it's DDO not WoW, so lvls could not matter less

YAY FOR THE NECRO!

PVP should be buried (cause it's just an epeen complex XD), with all those who try to PVP in DDO too lol
