Making PvP appealing to more people

[Sweyn]

Man do I miss the 2008/2009 days in the Wayward Lobster. You could spend hours a night just hanging out in there. Plus it was a great place to chill while waiting for an LFM to pop or for your group to fill. (Cause we all know it was very rare to short-man stuff back then)

Then you should join the discord and hop back into some PvP.

I remember Wizrogue in there just dominating people

Good luck and have fun with like minded folks but for me this is not really the game for finding any sort of balance for PvP

I think you over complicated it. Just allow a freshly made lvl7 character (veteran 2). Only what they get from the get to go.
Both players need to stream to ensure that they directly go to the tavern after the character creation and they are ready to go.
Most spells won't one shot without equipment.
I will look for you guys and give it a shot for the fun.

Any progress on this? I am interested in PVP, but I don't really like the rule restrictions, especially the level stuff.

I never really liked 'balance' in anything, I always think should be balanced by being unbalanced, because that's closer to real life, e.g. a tiger will maul your ass, why should you have 50/50 chance against a tiger? Instead make a weapon so your chances against tiger become 99/1.

In DDO's case, you can just use jeweled cloak or others to go against mages. The whole point is to figure out a strategy against the dominating one (wizards) as that's typically more fun I feel.

no progress and don't see there ever being any

PvP was abandoned very shortly after the game went live.

I'm actually surprised the PvP options are still in the taverns and party interaction menus.
