[Cobbinator92]

Teach me your tricks, I want to learn so I can just go in on my sin.

And if the novice is Playing dead, the only way to get him killable again is to dispell him, and then he can just recast it in that instant you do, making it so you probably have to have others there to gang up on the twerp or cloak around until he/she lets his/her guard down.

Actually some MMO's let you watch pvp matches, RO just isn't really built that way mostly cause the maps are poorly made for such viewing pleasure. ;D

So a suggestion thread became a BBQ, glad to come in the forums :|

Anyway, the idea sounds nice, but totally not worth the while. I just go on my 100 vit Soul Linker and hope to god there ain't a creator out there with faster cast than me. Plus, linking pvp is uber fun.

You know, everyone who is coming on here and giving me advice on how to watch PvP without dying is just proving my point:??There are people who enjoy watching PvP without actually participating in the match or wanting to be attacked.??So, why not - someday in the future - have a way of not being able to be attacked???A spectator mode.

I do appreciate your insight, though, and I shall try to affect them.

I was thinking this earlier:

When you click the PvP warper, you are first given the option to participate or merely observe.??Once this choice is made, you are then taken to the usual PvP rooms menu.
Those observing can either have some sort of aura or icon to let others know that they can't be attacked.??Perhaps they can just be rendered completely invisible so as to avoid any possible confusion whatsoever.
There could be another NPC (or maybe just a command) where one can switch from spectator - but not to (that way no one goes into spectator mode to avoid having their ass kicked) - so they can join in the PvP fun without having to log out and return.


Also, Mara, everyone loves a Linker. My Linker is the char I'm most likely to go into PvP with because everyone wants links more than a dead linker. Well... cept the chems.

Pretty sure this would be a bitch to code

If a map exists or is made that can be utilized for watching pvp matches I'd be all for it.

I have no problems with people wanting to watch others fight in mmo's. Its actually part of LEARNING how to play in my opinion.

RO is sitting on the stoneage when it comes to many things, and a lot of it could be fixed but the developers don't really focus on such things.

[Mara]

Then can't we just use the ToH PvP map and just make it bigger?

That's always the problem with my suggestions. I never suggest a cute hat. It's always something that would require a funky script and/or a complete change of the RO system.

[Incarn]

i just don't see the point in having to implement something undoubtedly very complicated in RO scripting when we can just make do on our own.
