So who was this that said they was king?!? Ultimega?!? Bahahaha what a pushover. Anytime ANY of you guys want some.... you can come get THE BEST!!!!!
I agree that I am not a good player vs player so I don't do it. Eventually I will focus on it more. Having a leaderboard might help me but the questions is how would you do it.
Option 1:
SOme kind of points system for every win. 1 point vs some lower level, 3 points same level and 7 above your level. Here the problem is not everyone will play it as often. So someone who just does it alot will be on top.
option 2:
Same as option one but you lose 2 points a loss (or some set amount, or an amount based on your level difference).
Option 3:
Leader of the pack.
In this my favorite way to do a scoreboard everyone is originally all given a ranking form 1 to ....(however many players) whether they pvp or not. It is randomly assigned at the beginning and all new characters start off as highest number on the server. Now you can challenge anyone. In the board it has their rank and player level. If you win you switch spots. So if 15th place challenges 4th and loses he stays in 15th. If he wins he goes to 4th and 4th goes to 15th. The idea that is fun with this one is noone really ever has a lead. If you do a point system someone can eventually be soo high noone will challenge them. In this system here you always have players challenging higher level players. I have seen it done in many other formats and it worked well. Sometimes the leaders start dodging players and I have seen limits on how many times you can turn down different people before you have to accept or forfeit. SO if you decline 3 challenges then you have to take the next. In this game there should be a delay option, like will accept in 15minutes , 30 minutes, 45 minutes (so the player can finish the quest they are in). To be honest not sure all the modifications to this that people would want to have. the best way i did it had no rules really. They said you can challenge anyone and they had to accept then you had a week to arrange a time.
Option 4:
Leaderboard based off number of kills. This again benefits the frequent player more then the good player. This could be modified to be the player with the largest percentage of wins vs losses.
If their was a leaderboard I might take it seriously as the truth is I love to win and having a place assighned to your player would push me to care about pvp and spend some time in it. As of now I see no reason to do it and have only tried a little. Yes, i did get killed and very quickly but just blew it off saying I will work on it later.
When the free peoples rise up against you, so called king, then u wont have any magical ring to save you like Sauron did. And evenhe got pwned. And so thatis what happens to self proclaimed kings and lords, dark or not
Oh boy here comes the Neg Rep I can smell it in the air...oh well Im use to it by now,
YOU ALL NEED TO TAKE YOUR BUTTS BACK TO WARCRAP AND DONT LOOK BACK IF YOU WANT PVP!!! There I said it bring it on.
I N M P H (F) O, (and im sure a lot of ex-WoW players and some of the oldschool ddo players will agree) PVP has NO place in DDO! The tavern brawl areas and challanges are more than enuff! PVP is one of the main reasons I left WoW(arcrap) and know others have left it for DDO for the same reason. It completely ruined the roleplay of the game and if we get leaderboards scorecards and all that crappage IT WILL RUIN this game also for me and a LOT of others besides dont we have enuff already people crybabing over the tavernbrawling just what we need eeveryone crybabing over pvp-ing
