Event pvp tourneys - should summons be allowed?

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 6:44 pm

As you know right now its free for all as far as pvp tourneys go. But I'm just wondering on everyone's opinion on summons. Should we disable them or should we leave them be allowed?

Also is there anything you think that should not be allowed? I want to avoid disallowing stuff though but if you have a valid suggestion I can run a separate poll.

Considering you can bring in a dispel weapon or kill/cast dispel, I think it should be allowed (Maybe make it a modified tourney though, like switch that rule on or off). Seeing as summons take awhile to cast and most of them are easily dispatched, they shouldn't pose much of a problem for most people (Not to mention the mana they consume).

Boohoo, someone got killed by a rev. 1) It's part of the game and 2) if you're slow enough to allow the other person to pull off a summon, then you deserve to get pwned by it.

Or ask esk when I duled him. I used the lamest fighting tactics I could pull off, that included a revenant. Actually I forgot to use a death adder too.

But yeah personally I want to remove summons from tourneys but I'll see what the poll goes at and decide from there.

Um, yeah a DF. Do you know how easy it is to dispel one of those? It would actually make a dispel weapon worth something.

Well since pets aren't allowed, then summons shouldn't be either. Correct me if I'm wrong about the pets thing.

Actually tbh think crystal ball still works lol, one of those things I forgot to disable. or maybe I did disable it, can't recall now... eitherway, I'll be reviewing all of that and fixing it.

Way it's heading summons will be disabled too.

When you fix it, PLEASE put in a temporary corpse or something so we know somebody died along with the message "So-and-so was defeated by so-and-so" as well as a message for the final winner. It's hard to see who won unless you were paying attention to the health bars.

Also, I recommend a "spectate" option or something so that those who want to watch the match are allowed to check it out but won't be included in the battles.

This is a similar concept to special spam. It was part of the game, was lame and was removed. Albeit, if a mage wants to use such tactic I mentioned, they could just clumsy spam the person thats being smashed by a DF.

So far the majority have voted in favor of leaving it out, which seems wise. I suppose at best we could include an option in the tourneys where we can set a flag to turn it on or off. That way we can occasionally run some tourneys where it's completely free for all.
