Thread: PvP level locking and general Nagafen ruleset questions

40. Mentoring makes you unable to defend yourself. Mercs own in pvp though. Yes.

PS. Tell lazoretto he's a nub.

When is full fledged level locking allowed?

What is current status of mentoring and pvp? As I remember if you are mentoring/mentored you are basically attackable yet unable to respond (STUPID!)

Can toons aligned with one faction attain early questlines from opposite factions? (Can my Halas toon quest in darklight while pvp'ing etc.)


Thanks

You can completely lock your xp at level 30 (turn your aa slider to 100, up until then it can only be set at 50)

Currently mentored people can only fight back in pvp if they are hit first. Supposedly their group members aren't able to attack either, but that doesn't seem to always work.

Your good aligned toon can do any quests in any of the evil starting zones. The problem though is that now that zone is city flagged. So basicly you aren't able to attack any of the evil aligned players in any of the evil starting zones unless they attack you first. There aren't too many people there so it won't be often you can find pvp (there will be some though, probably).

My last response - as you managed a full psychiatric analysis upon a couple questions I realize I am way above my head conversing with you.

That is not a valid reason for scrapping anything. If MMO's scrapped systems due to imbalances you would be left with no game. It is possible to develop this system with balance - but SOE perhaps rightly never felt the need to invest that much in it as with so much else with the pvp ruleset.

For all I care they could make those mentoring others very weak arbitrarily - as long as they don't stand inept. There are all sorts of development possibilities. But honestly, you don't really care anyway - you just enjoy your outlet to be an asshole - thats cool - whatever

Finally, I recently read that mentored parties now possessed targeting icons similar to heroic content as a warning to would be attackers. This led me to believe that if attacked all parties could now return the fight. If so I like that change. Can anyone confirm?
