True Brawl Room Etiquette+ Laws of Vengeance

[Bunker]

.....no whining.

P.S. to say a caster cannot use this, or that, is like asking a melee to not swing, or a ranger to not shoot. Just because you are getting owned, does not mean your opponenet is cheating.

could a level 6 fighter ask a level 20 wizard to stop casting polar ray on them?

The rule of PVP is there is NO RULE!

Public brawling areas are just that public, and full of brawling!

I encourage my guildies to swarm opponenets and destroy them, regardless of level.

Don't like it?

Get a private instance, its reall easy to do.

not in the face. NOT IN THE FACE!!

They could ask, and the Wizard might be nice and stop, but my understanding is that killing someone in a Brawl is never a reportable offence, even if the killed person asks the other to stop. In fact, not killing someone in a Brawl can be a reportable offence, if you keep them trapped in some CC effect.

All you need to do to stop being killed is to leave the public brawl. If you want the high level Wizard to stop picking on you, just go to a private instance.

I would answer this, but Mr Ed below says it so well.

Personally, I don't think it matters what happens in the public area. If you hang out there long enough, you will see restraint from many players, but to get upset over dying is out right hilarious. You know the area is public, thus you should know better.

Dance is overrated. Pop that eardweller clickie and meteor swarm away :P

LAVAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa!!!!

I love lava diving! Best sport ever after the Shroud I grease slalom!

[Majere_Aumar]

Seems to be a theme of whining against mages in the OP. The poor guy is gonna be the next H4x after update 9 goes in methinks

[Missing_Minds]

OP, these are PvP rules.

1. No griefing as defined by Turbine. This means kill your prey as soon as possible.
2. No abusive language, but normal trash talk is acceptable.
3. Anything else goes. Deal with it.

Turbine GMs will deal with #1 and #2, but it is up to you to grow a set for #3.

[Qezuzu]

Divine Intervention followed by 3,000 negative levels (only ever got 2,756 on someone with 5 people nuking with negative levels for 15 minutes)

I need to try this someday.

I need to try this someday.

I'll help.

[Zectarash]

I think people misinterpreted my meaning somewhat (as in by a lot).

As you guys probably aren't even going to read this again after neg repping me I'll just skip trying to negotiate and delete the OP.

If you did read to this point I'll make things clearer.

1) Dancing your friends is fine unless they complain. Random people hate it (others say they agree).

2) A long time ago I did a private PvP battle in The Pit; something glitched up at the end and I couldn't leave. I recalled. Appeared a few feet away. /death. Respawned in the arena. Jumped in the lava. Same thing. I didn't know about /stuck then, but /stuck only moves you a few feet. In the end, I had to delete the character. That's why I say "no" to private PvP. Losing your only level 20... not fun. Losing ANY level 20 isn't fun. Plus, it's limited time, and if you have another friend you want to have join, they have to wait up to an hour. And you can't just suddenly swap teams on the party and kill them all .

3) When a level 6 fighter wants to try out his latest feat on his friend, does he want a level 20 Wizard to hop in mid-test and blast them both to smithereens?

4) I understand some people just want to kill random players. If so, stick to the Lobster please. Houses D and J are where I go for private battles. If you want to kill random people, but don't want a crowd, go with the Phoenix.

[Zectarash]

Trying to set rules in the brawl areas is just ridiculous. The only rules are the ones Turbine sets: no griefing people by keeping them trapped by some effect and not killing them.

If Turbine sets this rule, then why can you use it in the Brawl Rooms?

[Kominalito]

PvP is so core, bro.

[hityawithastick]

Curse those neg rep people!!

Deleted this because of them.

Embrace the neg rep, do not fear it!


+1 because negging is so mainstream.

Yay! You gave me +16.

The 2 people gave me... -110 or so.

See? Mainstream.

Note: Fun activity in PvP? Watch a multi-round, multi-person fight for a while, and then nuke/trip/sunder/cometfall whichever side is winning.

I think people misinterpreted my meaning somewhat (as in by a lot).

I don't think so. You're declaring rules for public brawls. But there are no rules, except what Turbine establishes.

In the end, I had to delete the character.

Teleporting people out of stuck spots is one of the most common things GMs will do... did you try putting in a ticket?

4) I understand some people just want to kill random players. If so, stick to the Lobster please. Houses D and J are where I go for private battles. If you want to kill random people, but don't want a crowd, go with the Phoenix.

If you want a private battle, make a private instance.

If Turbine sets this rule, then why can you use it in the Brawl Rooms?

I'm not sure what you're asking? You can use dance, stone, etc. because they're legitimate tactics as long as you kill the target in a timely manner. Repeatedly using them without letting the target escape is what's against the rules, and can warrant a ban from a GM.
