Turbine, please allow everything in PvP

Without spell changes, this would be a one way massacre in favor of the Casters.

Or a thousand invisible rogues bumping into each other and assassinating as fast as their cooldown allows.


/"Why is the PVP brawl pit empty except for hundreds of soulstones?"

Rogues, eh?

*Jumps off of tavern bridge and fires off a chain/ball lightning to clear away stealthed rogues in immediate area, then casts firewall and cloud*

stealthed rogues evade puny lightning and assassinate stoopid wizard when he lands

Hmmm.... point taken

In general terms I agree with this sentiment.

But, in practical terms I have to object.

A serious issue with DDO is lag. It comes and it goes, but overall it is a continuing issue. And, a lot of the issue relates to resources spent on graphics.

Many of the spells that cannot be used are graphic intensive. We've all been in quests where two or three high graphics spells get cast and we've seen the lag kick in.

PvP has a vocal opposition now. If you were to have everything going in instances that are public instead of private you'd see even disinterested, live and let live players like me joining the opposition to PvP in DDO.

This makes sense and I definately do not want to see PvP causing even more problems for PvE than it already does.

As long as the spells/abilities aren't contributing significantly to lag, however, I do think that they should be allowed.

I'd really like them to make it so that you can stealth in PvP; would be fun for us rogues!

In fact, here is something from the Official Known Issues.

During PVP, players with the Invisibility spell cast on them can still be seen by opponent players.

It doesn't say anything about stealthing, but if you can appear invisible with the invisibility spell, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to stay hidden while sneaking.

Paladins get screwed still. Smite Evil still won't work at all in PvP.

But extra damage with divine sacrifice and with a disruption that fight can actually even out.
