Fix for PvP invulnerability and Contest Items in the Next PL Update

[Samhayne]

Hey gang,

In the next update to PL we will be changing how the 3 second invulnerability works in Pocket Legends:

PVP Invulnerability will change so that players under the cover of invulnerability cannot be targeted by friends or enemies, and cannot cast while invulnerable. Players can still move/run.

The next patch will also include the new vanity items and new drops to the Underworld Bosses from the Rockin' Retro Gear Contest.

A comment in a different thread, but bringing it here:


Read that and still not fair gives the one that just revived a chance to buff and kill the ones already buff or unbuffed

The recently revived character can't cast, so they can't buff themselves or others while they are invulnerable. 3 seconds lets them get their character under control and move a bit before the fight resumes. You also won't waste your skills on them while they are invulnerable as they will not be targetable.

This will fix the invincible mage trios at 35 :D as for the vanities, will the RR winners get their set like the Humania Design contest?

this gonna fix everything related to it, thanks

Edit : if we can't buff during this phase, is not it contradicting the basic purpose of it?

I want to know the same thing. Will it be this week?

I think what he meant is that when we are revived by a mage/rhino, we are able to run and position so we are not targeted nor attacking. Spawning in the spawn room would be different. (However, I could be wrong.)

Thank you for clarifying things, Alex. We appreciate the effort and patience through all of this.

If you are not able to cast skills from a normal spawn (not revived) then the invulnerability is useless IMO. Because if you are getting spawned in CTF all they have to do is wait for the shield to go down then they can kill you before you have time to buff. Sorry if I read the post wrong

[Roberto077]

I think there shield be 3 seconds of invincibility but 2 seconds before casting. This would all people to at least buff once they get up.

Soon. Maybe tomorrow, maybe early next week. It depends on how testing goes.

i see players use the invulnerable to there advantage and kill opponent easy who were still fighting in front of spawn room as the entrance to flag room is beside it. all they have to do is let archer die and once opponent get flag the archer quickly re spawn and run quickly to attack before invulnerable is gone.

[stricker20000]

i would prefer leaving the invulnerability in spawn as it is and just removing the invulnerability after a rev skill.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing the new vanity Retro Gear!

Yeah i agree with that, lets leave invulnerability in spawn room but invulnerability after a rev skill it will just creates more problem (we will see more players unbuff running away for there life if opponent who is invulnerability after a rev skill and waiting to blast out all there fully charge spells), players needs to learn to better timing there re spawn after rev skill, that's why team work is better to counter the spawn kill.

Currently, the game doesn't have hooks for different types of spawning. It's all the same thing right now. So, it's all or nothing. We feel that, while it's not perfect, the coming implementation helps to address spawn camping issues without unbalancing normal gameplay.

[DoesntEveryoneTellLiez]

Lets please just have invulnerability in spawn. Is not fair to hav a 3 second orb saving you. This can just make ctf games much easier, 3 pallys can just be running to the flag reviving all the time with out a problem.

Indeed, maybe you should lower the invincibility down to 2 seconds long?

However, sam said you couldn't cast spells when you were invincible, so basically, you can't revive people while invincible :)

READ Sam's quote above yours. He said it is all or nothing for now. And as Chicken said, spells CANNOT be cast so it won't be like it is now. The bigger issue is spawn kills in the spawn room, which is a much bigger issue IMO.

awesome cant wait for vanitys to come!!

[tHelonestud]

I honestly don't think it will make much of a difference from before last update if the person can't cast while invulnerable the spawn killers just wait since he can't hurt them either. It actually gives them(the killers) 3 seconds to buff and get ready for his invincibility buff to wear off.

Ummm no...because birds mostly dont need buff to blast and kill you.( he can just wait and do so)

[DoesntEveryoneTellLiez]

Plus guys if im sure..we asked fo help when being spawned killed, thats when we are in base and we cant do anything while we are in middle of the battle the mage or rhino priority is to keep his/her team heal/alive we shouldnt hold our selfs by orbs when the battle us being played first. If i kill 2 and mage revive i know they are having a second chance and is my job not to let them have any chance at all.
This orb when revived just makes the game a bit slow in my opinion, (oh thanks um imma just move to this corner i'll be back all buffed dont worry)
Kills> gf
Seems so easy and unfair :p
PS: did it many times yesterday

[Gaunab]

This will make spawnkilling in ctf easier than it ever was.

And the rest of the respawing/reviving system doesn't need this invulnerability anyways.

I just wondering..couldn't u guys just copy and paste the code part from AL that allows invincibility in spawn room and paste that part of code into the pl code?

[tHelonestud]

Ummm no...because birds mostly dont need buff to blast and kill you.( he can just wait and do so)
This is what I mean
[Rockwall Fort CTF map]
Team 1
76 dexterity bear
76 strength bear
76 intelligence mage

Team 2
74 dexterity bird
75 strength mage(joins later)

I think the above is a very realistic spawn killing scenario if you disagree let me know

Here's what happens:
(last week;no invincibility)
1. Bird is getting teamed and they just decided to sit in his spawn room
2. He tries to get off a few skills every time he respawns
3. The damage from all 3 kills him way too fast
4. Pally joins birds team
5. Still not enough power to beat them

(this week;3 second invulnerability
1. The team of 3 enters into spawn
2. Kills bird
3. Bird respawns and takes the 3 seconds to buff and aim at mage
4. Slowly takes out whole team
5. Pally joins bird's team

(future;3 second of no skills/immunity)
1. They move into spawn room
2. Bird respawns; other 3 get ready to attack(buff/tank gets infront)
3. As soon as orb disappears bird uses blast but the fire/double beckon instant kills him
4. Pally joins bird's team
5. They have respawn at almost exact same time to work together or else other is dead before their orb disappears
