CoH PVP?...

[xexllama]

Hey Kedra! Man oh man, I'd like to see you bring it back up again, just give me a holler if you need some testing or whatever (<--panda).

Old COH was great but this sounds cool, sounds like the Discord server that was up for awhile on live.

Will the body poof after pvp death btw or will it be loot-able? On the Discord server on live, if you could find your body within say 5 mins, you could grab whatever you had on it. But you were still lv1.

Oh and make ANON actual anon so people have to work to find you. Though you can still /w all zone. Makes it a tad tougher! Oh and to tag on what Miotch said yes some zones were accessed by some <---

But they were no joke and hard...here is an example and this is a warrior in Kunark quality gear:



p.s. It was slowed and crippled.

What level of gear are you planning on having drop for players? Could make abig difference.

Like what would the top hp be on say a level 50's whatever item slot?
And how common would gear dropping be? Like, by the time you hit 50 (If it stays ~1hr like you said). how many item slots might be filled up? everything or just a few slots or what?

Just to address a few things:

Gear:
Newbies will get a full set of starter gear, at 50, players can get an upgraded set. There will be several ways to acquire additional equipment:

• Quests
• Regular drops from standard MOBs
• Numerous NPCs that drop class specific sets of armor (One piece at a time, similar to Empires).
• Boss NPCs or other notables will have a chance to drop a random item from a huge pool of random items (The pool will be filtered so there aren't crazy-strong items in it. The pool will have thousands of items in it, so these types of items will be the most unique.)

PvP Looting:
The winner of PVP will be able to take everything off the corpse and let it rot, or leave some things on it as his own discretion. If the defeated player is feeling lucky, he can return to the scene of the crime and see if he can salvage anything (Even if he can't equip it at level one, he can save it).

I think this will be really interesting when unique items (see the 3rd bullet above) begin to circulate. For instance, a great item may appear that nobody else can obtain unless they kill the current owner.
