Lets make PVP interesting

[Pape_27]

Pvp no risk no reward. Instead of having no penalties for death in the Pvp arenas, how about the following.
Upon death the losing characters inventory will be opened to the victorious character. This character will be allowed to pick any one item from that inventory with the exception of items that have been bought from the DDO store. This would include plat, bound to account, and bound to character items. Yes your greensteel, dragon, and all of your other items will be at risk.
For the winners, you will receive 100 xp per level of the character killed plus whatever one item you want from his inventory. If you kill someone who is lower leveled than you are, you will recieve an xp penalty of 250,000 xp per level of difference. This penalty increases exponentially for every two levels of difference between characters.

Fixed.

Now that is a pvp system I can live with.

"Now if they added some sort of level appropriate arenas it would be MUCH better. Five arenas with level distribution of 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16 and 17-20. That way you wouldn't have a couple lvl 20 wankers griefing the lower toons just trying to have a bit of fun."


This.

Just make an arena where, upon entering, you get 20x your normal HP and then get to duke it out without getting KOed.

But let's not waste the devs' time on PvP.

This is probably the only and least time consuming PvP proposal that has any merit, that continues to pop up in every PvP thread.

Great post

This is the greatest pvp suggestion i have ever heard +10000000 rep

I like the risk/reward idea -- too bad it's full of holes. Trading bound items through pvp for one. Casters with min gear besides a few trinkets wins the day. As does ganking. The downside is also too high, reminds me of Lineage II (chance to drop an item, but items were lifeblood in L2). PvP killers had a higher chance to drop their gear. Net result was griefing/training, to avoid the killer flag and hope your target dropped gear.

Don't know why there are so many trolls in the PVP threads lately if it doesn't interest them at all. Kinda sad really.

I think I'll go around in every suggestion thread from now on relating to RP/PvE/Etc, and state things are fine as-is... just to be a clown too. Don't want to be left off the bandwagon.

Um, no.. you get to LOOT it.. then it becomes BTA/BTC to YOUR character

Well not if you get paid for an item let someone kill you then they loot it off your corpse. I Think thats the direction he was going.
