Title: pvp server turned into a potion fest
Post by: r1579 on July 16, 2013, 01:09:16 pm
I think potion of harming should be banned on this server. I am sick and tired of invisible people with potion of harming II waiting for someone to come out of pvp protection and steal their stuff. Nowadays I cannot have a simple battle with a friend or someone else without having someone trying to pot spam me and steal my stuff. I though this was a pvp server, but now it looks like a server with everyone pot spamming.

Easily avoidable;
1. Go battle on a route that many people dont visit.
2. Don't announce it in chat.

This has been suggested many Times, but the same thing has been said, Dodge them.

still, it gets annoying mainly when they use invisible potions with them, many people get annoyed by this and it is a stupid way to get stuff, if you want to kill someone, show some backbone and actually fight them instead of hiding behind those crappy potions or pot spamming them for it.

I'm gonna have to say dodging is a bit hard when the person is invisible and the harming pots do 5 hearts. Plus the splash area of the potion.

If they're invisible, you can see them holding potions or armor I believe.


Potions are a part of PVP. It's very simple. Pots can be thrown and do damage to you. How do you counter this? Dodge them.


If you're going to complain about it even though there is a CLEAR strategy to countering them, then would you agree that we should get rid of bow and arrows? I mean, they can be SO far away from me, what do I do?! I can't even have a simple PVP match with anyone without getting sniped from far away with people with bows. And axes and swords! I can't even go up to people and attack them with my fists without them quickly killing me with their weapons!


There are advantages and disadvantages to all PVP forms. Invisibility is not limited to potions, it can be applied to all forms.


Potion advantages:
-bursty damage
-range
-spammable


Potion disadvantages:
-dodge able
-nerfed to have a slower spam rate
-need a lot constantly to maintain spammability
-only effective in long range. If someone catches you, you're screwed.




Rather than focusing on the advantages of pots, look at the disadvantages and use them. There's a reason people train MCMMO sword and axes instead of relying only on potions.
