@STS: Can we have a 1v1 map?

I think it would be a great idea. By a 1v1 map, I mean something very simple, like a map with a whole lot of green and blue orbs along a wall or something, to quickly restore hp and mana and get back to fighting. Of course 1v1 isn't a very prevalent form of pvp in pocket legends, but for the people such as myself who enjoy it, this would be a much appreciated addition. As it is right now, one person usually rejoins the game after a fight to get full health. Maybe I'm just impatient, but I find it kind of annoying when after every fight the winner has to wait 10 seconds to avoid getting a death for leaving in combat, then re-type the game password and join again.

The map itself wouldn't have to be very intricate at all in design - something so simple as a medium sized circle or square would work just fine. Enough space to allow for some kiting, but small enough so that you could always know where your opponent is on your screen ("Forest Fight" size-ish?) And of course, either along an edge, or any place out of the way really, a few health and mana orbs. I think 2 of each would be sufficient.

What do you guys think? Good idea? Not necessary?

I like it. Only problem I could see would be rusher abuse. The guy could rush then grab an orb and keep constantly rushing without slowly getting his health drained you know? However, rushers already abuse PvP to the max so that's a minor problem. All IMO of course :)

I know Thade had fun making maps for SL PvP. I'll see if he has some time to make another map for PL, although he's pretty slammed with everything else cooking in house. I'm not sure if the orbs is a good idea, as MightyMicah mentions. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Since we are talking about PvP, is there any chance of forthcoming rewards for PvP? Items? Titles? Gold/credits? Expanded leaderboards so regular gamers can see how they stack up (not only the elite Top 5)? Unfortunately I have to cycle through about 5 of my SL/PL characters before finding a PvP match, and even then I sometimes don't. I think giving some sort of rewards, a la WoW, would encourage more PvPing.

How about after someone kills the other person they are both reset at the starting spawn with full health.

This couldn't happen, because people play by different rules. This would totally ruin the fun of a good ol' free for all

Understandable. I appreciate you even taking a look at this thread, thanks.

I should clarify that my idea behind this map is that it would be used ONLY for 1v1. Meaning there would be no rushers, or FFA. There are plenty of other great maps for that. The orbs would be the primary selling point behind this map...other wise it would be just like all the others with having to rejoin the game after a fight.

Hmm...... Maybe not 1v1 u can do that in forest fights... But a free for all... no teams just 1v1v1v1v1v1v1 or even more u could even put a max. amount of people that can join like maybe 10 people cna pvp or even 20?

Hey all,

I'm now working on a 1 v 1 map for PL.

About PvP rewards. Rewards for PvP are something I'd really like to see in the future once the PvP experience is consistent. Features like PvP matches only starting once preconditions are met (Both teams are full) are key to making PvP a more reliably enjoyable experience. Right now, as you all know PvP can at times be fun or not based on all parties involved playing by the "rules". Until PvP matches have that structure built in, I don't think we can reward players for PvPing well.

Thanks for replying, Thade. Much appreciated.

How can we implement "structure" into PvP?

Awesome! Remember to put on a wall or something "Thade was here :p"!

You can't Montanabro, it's something we need to build into the PvP maps.

Yay 1v1 maps!

With "we" I was trying to be more polite than saying "what do YOU need to do?" Anyway, I hope the structure comes soon because a lot of my friends have left or are leaving to other games with more robust PvP.

Edit: I like this game a lot, which is why I've invested so much in it and am encouraging the PvP to be revamped. It would be unfortunate to to see players leave because of a fixable flaw.

Wow three dev comments in one PvP thread! This is definitely going to be good.

Hmm... mke it like rpg lol jk
But 1v1 underwater map
Hmm is this gonna cost like 10plat?

good news here! :)

since this gonna be a 1vs1 map, both players should just reset after each fight. would save a lot time for both.
like sun already said, as level 10 the hp-regen is really to low, u need always to wait, rejoin, and also retyping password. a 1vs1 map woudnt have much sense if it would be the same like a standard map.

costing plat? hmmm, if its made well i would pay...

Yes to 1vs1 maps! :D

A 1v1 map would be good for duels and tourneys. It could be as simple as releasing the same maps we already use with the limitation of 1 person on each team.

Agree, only I know that it has been asked before to allow bystanders. Like allow 1 from each team in pvp and maybe 2 others that cannot be in combat. I enjoy watching big matches as well as some matches need judges etc.
