Default PVP writs updated with 20 min timer

From Test Update notes:

Quote:

  • PvP writs will now have a cool down timer of 20 minutes before you can obtain another writ.
Seems reasonable to me.

I think they should also allow the writs to be updated from Exiles - maybe then other players would try to fight us rather than just evaccing.

I would also like to note that my EQ2Players sig, which somehow changed from English to German yesterday, has mysteriously switched to French today.

Stop the madness!

EDIT: I really prefer being a French "Gnome Destructeur" instead of a German "Gnom Shander" - especially since a guild mate told me that "kinder shander" was German for "child abuser". I would like to state for the record that I've never abused children or gnomes.

Fucking retarded. Move the fucking npc away from the respawn point too morons. Revise the writ system too. But seriously, t8 writ giver 2 inches away from respawn spot. Put the fucker in the city or put it out in the middle of the damn zone. Hell put it inside Karnors Castle in the damn basement.

Should be interesting. I doubt they will add exiles because that would make sense.

I'm glad to see Sony at least doing SOMETHING about the problem they created. I think 20 minutes may be a little excessive, maybe they should make turning it in on the timer (so you turn one in, set off the 20 minute timer, but can still get a new one so you have something to do for 20 minutes.)

But, I'm not crying the sky is falling or anything. It remains to be seen.

And make them non raid or make them way higher requirements if you are in a raid since the gear gotten is supposedly the pvp version of raid gear, and well, raids are a lot harder than x4 pvp ganking small groups.
You can't go grind city faction writs in a raid for the simple reason that they would be idiotically simple to do.
Not saying that raid pvp should be flat out killed but it should be killed for writs or made way more difficult/less rewarding.

Love this change. All they need to do now is move the Q revive point to somewhere AWAY from the docks, about the same distance as the Freep one.

It's 20 minutes from completion of writ, it should be from time you get the writ. So after you turn a writ in, you stay in town and wait 20 minutes then go out again..

If it was 20 minutes from when you get the writ you would still have to wait 20 minutes so no zerging, but no 20 minutes of deadtime.

Default Re: PVP writs updated with 20 min timer

tbh thats what the bs raid pvp got everyone people doing 15 or 20 writs in 30 minutes

im thinking that if it works wrightt hen its fine. aka 20 minutes after u pick up a writ cool down starts if it is after u turn it in then its stupid as hell.

the writ system was broken it favored who lagged less not who had skill ( raid pvp).

what this does is stop mass raid pvp turn in which is one big farming event and also stops pvp writ farming on a mass scale.

all this does is once again make it about groups not raids. it also lessens farming. as long as they do it smart its fine aka 20 minutes after u get your writ not turn it in
