Title pretty much says all. Right now, the current PVP system isn't working. Although we are a hardcore economy server, I would like to see a stronger PVP initiative. There are a multiple of problems at the moment, I will try and list them and also provide some solutions. Problems •People "camp" near the front of the PVP area, when 7 people are in the PVP area, 6 are in the safe zone. •People are able to 'boost' themselves onto a higher area of the arena, and shoot arrows in a safe zone, risk free attacking. •Users can easily type /spawn, /home when in danger of being killed. •It is far too easy to simply, walk in, hit someone, and walk out of the PVP •There is absolutely NO elevation! I can't even shoot someone near the end with an arrow while standing near the bridge, it hits the ceiling! Solutions •Have a one-way type entrance •Revert teleporting to require the patron to stand still for 3 seconds~ **Maybe make it only applicable in PVP areas** •Host a contest. The month of February can be the War Month! (Make war, not love?) Users will design a PVP area, winner will have their arena copy and pasted and featured. I would love some positive contribution, in the form of a +rep, or a comment GALLERY OF CAMPERS By Camcliff:
another problem is people using fly in pvp, and if the ceiling were any higher this would be much more of a problem
Really? I thought it was 10 people in iron/diamond armor in the safe zone when there was one in the arena.... And they never come in, like, ever. But yeah, I think it really needs a revamp. Too many people complaining about people who teleport out. Too many people just staying in the safe area and firing arrows from there... And too many people who just camp the safe zone, getting in free hits without taking damage. All this causes so many people complaining about unfair PvP. Just my opinion, though.
Actually, it would be less. People who fly at ceiling level glitch out, and are almost impossible to see at times.
I like this idea very well, because there has been multiple times when I am about to kill someone and they type /home or /spawn. I think Rez's idea of having one way in would prevent from the campers. I suggest setting the pvp arena up like the Thunder Dome in Mad Max... If you have ever seen that movie. If you haven't seen the movie it looks something like this: In the movie two people enter, and only one person can leave, but I suggest that their only be one way in, and that users are not allowed to use /home or /spawn while in the pvp arena.
I also think there should be a whole new arena theam, more wooden not all fire, we can go to the Nether for that. Maby host a contest for such.
The price is pretty high for fly, and I think it'd be a bit of a pain too prevent. And the set price I think should allow the users too have some sort of an advantage, though it does become a pain time too time.
This is why I rarely use fly in the PvP area for anything except seeing who is in there. Too many people tell me it's not fair.
Wait... I think I just came up with the solution to a one-way entry. (Stopping the safe zone campers/arrow shooters.) Gonna go make one in game and test it, post screenshots if it works.
Donation Features should be allowed in pvp, because Fly/Speed is 60$. If someone purchases that they should be allowed to use it in pvp. --Posted This Late -_- Sorry --
I think there should be a portal going into the pvp arena, but the portal teleports you to a random location in the pvp arena. -- This Solves 1. Campers. 2. People from killing you once you enter the arena. 3. There is no safe spot to run back to quickly, so they escape dying. Tell me your inputs on this, I think there may be some problems with this though.
Alright, so I got this figured out. Using lift signs, you can make a one-way entrance like so: From here, you can make something above it like this: This has a sign in it. When the sign in the first picture is clicked, you move up to the second picture. This second sign cannot be clicked, it is behind netherrack. Because the sign is in the wall, you cannot have any problems with walls above the sign, and keep it hidden on the second floor. The second floor is PvP, and to get out of the PvP area, you must walk to one of the other signs in there. These signs are far enough away that you cannot flash into the arena, you must stay there long enough to get to these signs.
I can see what you mean. However, there would be more than one set of lift signs. You can't be near 5 lift signs at the same time, can you? As long as there are a lot of lift signs, there is no way people can camp it easily. Especially because all the different points will not be visible up there. Camping them with like ten friends would still be hard. Because they are one-way signs, you could have one like every three blocks along the wall... There could be TONS... And it still wouldn't leave too many ways out, because they are one-way signs. And if people actually DO somehow take up all spots, then you just need to be ready for it. You should expect to possibly be attacked the moment you get up there. Level up McMMO, and use serrated strikes on everyone...lol. Trust me, you will be as ready as they will.
Lifts are a great idea, my idea was a simple two cell drop. Only people with fly would by able to leave again.
