I've gotten past T2 now and am continuing to level. But I gotta believe those T2 level lockers drive away up to half the new players who try PVP on Nagafen. You have no way of knowing the entire game isn't going to be like that, and it sucks ass.

That's what made me give up PvP. I am sure some will come along and say "Oh your just could not hack PvP you gay bluebie". I say fuck off, being fully masters and fabled twink in T2 killing noobes is week sauce. You have not even had a chance to learn how PvP works by T2 if your new to PvPing, much less going up against a fully fabled lvl T2 toon. Level locking really prevents new players from progressing in a fun manner it also discourages new players from trying it.

So let me get this straight, on PVP servers, you have a bunch of people who are T2 (is that lvl 10-19 or 20-29?) Who are fully fabled? Are there that many T2 raid instances? And folks just get to T2 and decide that will be their end-game? I guess I kinda understand it in a way, but it sounds hella lazy to me. Like someone else said, weak sauce. So, all these people who are on here bragging about how they ganked so-n-so and they are ubar. Are they all T7? Or are a lot of them T2 lockers and no one has been calling them out? I know the few videos I have watched have been of T7 toons.

One more thing, what are the rules that stop the level 70's from wiping out these T2 lockers?

Are there that many T2 raid instances? No but there are alot of fabled for sale on broker

And folks just get to T2 and decide that will be their end-game?
Alot of those people are actually very good some t8 people also twink people out at t2 beucase it's much easyer. But to defend lvl locker's it is alot of fun.

I guess I kinda understand it in a way, but it sounds hella lazy to me. Like someone else said, weak sauce. So, all these people who are on here bragging about how they ganked so-n-so and they are ubar.
Alot of the t7 people are the best of the best on a world wide scale
Are they all T7?Yea most the 16 irl + people are in the higher lvl's because you can't honeslty expect a 10 year old to know what button's to press or be in a high end raiding guild.

Or are a lot of them T2 lockers and no one has been calling them out?

Pvp video's often don't show people getting laid out and is often of solo pvp if you solo pvp you will die

One more thing, what are the rules that stop the level 70's from wiping out these T2 lockers?

lvl restrictions

hope it helps

No Haven is still considered a city, even though everyone will be aggro to you. Its like any other city, you get carnaged flagged, you'll get pwned by other exiles.

so bascially you can never just leave your toon in town, as an exile, and go afk or other exiles will just kill you?

Hoss · 11-17-2007, 11:06 PM

Actually, for my last question, I meant what are the level restrictions? Does it just go by tier, or can you kill any player within x levels of you?

What I meant, is if you zone into say Qeynos and Freeport and pop track they will appear blue to you, meaning same alignment. In Haven, you pop track, everyone cons and are aggro. However you cant be attacked in Haven unless you are carnaged.

Screw level locking, just do quests and kill shit until you level, then do it again. Yea the new cap is 140, but you'll have more than enough quests to do once you get to ROK, so just power level your way all the way up. The safest places to level are instances, and there are lots of those, but it really doesn't matter, do whatever gets you experience until you have to go someplace else that does. Players give exp too.
