Give me my Banishment in PvP back....

I just saw this change

Players will no longer be teleported out of a PvP arena when they are hit by Prismatic Spray's violet beam. They will instead take 1d6 per caster level force damage, will negates.

on the release notes...

I DO NOT LIKE THIS!

I'm sorry but that was about the only fun I ever had when jumping in the pvp pit and throwing that at someone and they get banished.

I enjoyed hitting them with that awesome violet ray and then getting a tell with a response like, "what the heck just happened?" or something like that. I want that joy back! Please leave that effect alone alone alone!!!

One more reason for me to go play Red Dead Redemption. Thanks for the good times DDO and player base alike but I have had more than enough with Grinding and Grinding just to get characters to cap and/or for GS. I'll be a forum lurker here until I die or DDO does (I think, unfortunatly, DDO will come first).

i would rather have had them keep it the way it was to, but not for the same reason as you.

i would have rather had them not spend any time on PvP at all in the first place.

now ill just grab some popcorn as i watch three dozen people say the exact same thing.

banishment shouldn't work on those from our plane

[jcTharin]

i kind of like the idea of people getting banished from the pit. just because its funny.

True, but being it is not a banishment effect, it doesn't matter. It is a teleportation effect.

[Rice]

The banishment effect only happens if the other person has deathblock on. Otherwise it just straight up kills them.

Pretty funny seeing them just disappear though

Quoted because I am quoted in his sig...and he is right.

From what i understand, this a banishment spell (note to self look it up in PHB) so therefore, it shouldn't work here...

Unless you are not telling us something and you have pointy little horns hidden underneath your Lucky Rabbit hat and glowing red eyes (excempting WF of course) behind thouse goggles...

The problem was that it also ejected people from the actual PvP arenas, not just the brawling pits, which left their team down one person for the remainder of the match. It was a little too effective when it happened.

It should still be a death effect, however. The force damage listed won't kill everyone. Just make it 1,000 pt force death shot and be done with it.

Just like the ray forces the target away, this change would Force the target away as well.

Why look it up in a book when you can do it now?

It is more akin to a forced Gate rather than teleport. Teleport does not travel across planes.

this is true ...even vs monks who become outsiders ... they are still native outsiders and cannot be banished.

Did this change actually contribute to your decision, or were you just looking for a thread to complain in?

Please remove the pointless PvP altogether so they cant complain about it anymore...I don't really want their kind here anyway...they definitely aren't the working together type

[SkyCry]

And while you're at it, can you please fix Indigo too!?

(Also Violet is send to *another* plane, not send to *home* plane. Also this is beautiful, for example, because you can't ressurect that person - he's not dead, he's just elsewhere!)

It actually contributed to my decision. For me it's not the big things (Combat changes, Spell Changes) considering I play both Melee and Casters. It's all the little things. Infinite grind. This particular change. In fact I used to sit with my roomie in PvP and cast this at her just so we could find out where she was Tele'd to. I know that it did some "bad" things in team matches but it takes away the fun for me. Couple that with Running my 20th Reaver's fate and still not seeing any boots makes me a Sad Panda. That's all.

I can live with that reasoning for the change. Thanks Eladrin for the post.
