Thread moot. ^^
First of all... Back in the old days it was all FFA. U entered a pvp room to pvp and that's what u did. There was never a "go" until later... Now most of the old pros miss that about pvp and are going back to FFA. As I am.
The only difference is that PvP at the 25-50 caps was FFA-based, as opposed to the current state of 1v1-based. Rushers only exist because people's expectations of a PvP match have changed. We expect someone to ask us to say go, and when we are attacked off-guard, we flame the person and stick a title on them of, "dorkynoobrushernerdfailsucks".
---------
It's been suggested before, and I'll restate it here. Take "cross-team" chat out of PvP and have all chat automatically filter into team chat. At least have specific maps where this was implemented.
As for 1v1, here's my suggestion:
Have a large pool of players (20+). You can pick any of these (20+) people and request to 1v1 them. Spectators may join the match, but cannot comment/interfere in any way with the 1v1. Both players will have a "Go" button. Once both players have pressed this "Go" button, they are open to duke it out.
Or you can have a duel system in towns, similar to O&C.
what the heck noob, ninja my post? u ded, prepare to be rushed for life! (if you don't rush me first, that is ;))Quote:

Eventually 2 things happen, u start gaining respect or they see u as a weak individual. But really its based on how a person reacts to the rushers actions..

Exactly, Pocket Legends PvP was made for FFA just like WoW and other MMO's, but players made own rules like "Go" and "Gf".Quote:

The "olde code of honor" is somewhat observed at level cap, but in twink warfare, in most cases, all bets are off. It was very rare in the old days to see 3v1s going on and generally there was a greater effort to make a match "fair".
Everyone has to deal with rushing. And yes, most rushers are interested in a cheap way to get KDR.Quote:

Btw, you may be asked to assist other players in 3v1 situations if you join a high end guild or to make reprisals against others who rush guildies. Generally higher end guilds though won't recruit just anyone and many do have a code of conduct.
I don't PvP the way I used to anymore. Heck, I haven't even levelled to 70 yet. The imbalance caused by the new gear though is the bigger issue IMO. Many of these rushers could be fought off 2v1 and even 3v1 with some success if PvP was properly balanced and not "dodge based".
When u see noobs join a pvp game, they don't say "go" but they rush because they have the right idea, killed or be killed. Imo pvp is better and should be about rushing and not calling matches.

WoW is different from PL, it has even more OP'd classes.
It's much more complicated.
When i first started pvp on my noob 18 bear,it was all rush ..."every person for themself" LOL...
Now its all "go" or be team rushed..
Rushing is unfair but in pvp u must be prepared for anything. *cough*YOLO*cough*
I used to be of the mindset that 1v1 was the way to go. I still have that mindset currently. However, after spending some time around 30-35 and 50-55 I've gotten somewhat "dumbed down" by rushers. Now, if someone I don't know gets within 5 meters of me, I generally kill them.
Technically I agree with you that rushing is not the way the game should be played. But then again, if everyone rushed, I would like that as well. Because the game contains a little bit of both rushers and non-rushers, I do a little bit of both rushing and not rushing.
If I could choose between the two, 1v1 and FFA, that would be played all the time, I would pick 1v1.

CTF replaced FFA, short and simple.
Im saying fixes do need to happen. but like in wow, u go to a bg and u want to win u join with players that can back u up. Or maybe just a pocket healer if u pro. In pocket legend arena is not a wow arena, its a battle ground like wow.. if u want a decent PvP rating in wow u go with ur team or guild.

Here's some basic things that helped me, and will help you.
Host your own games, this way you can simply type /boot playersnamehere
If you don't like somebody or they are rushing you.
Next is to add everyone who you like to PVP with, create games with a password and invite your friends and guildes only.
This will, basically solve all your problems.
There really is no difference between the two.
Besides more rushing and less balance, it's about the same thing. O_o
I'm happy I made my first unnamed bear.when I did. Back then me and my friends combined both.
Short summary:
It is organized FFA As soon as we were all ready we fought. Last team standing won.
But if it was 3v1 or 3v2, we sat 1or2 players. And after every round the best player from the winning team (If they were short) would switch out. This was the only time I ever pvped on a main account.
Dude it's a game
difference in pvp since old days
lv19 bird cant 1 hit
lv19 int bear cant 2 hit
lv45 ranger cant 1 hit
pally cant 2 hit
bear is not invincible
Please go back to playing rock paper scissors with your fr... parents and leave the PVPing to the adults.
