Hi, So recently we've had a bit of an issue with killing in towns solely for the point of ruining the fun of players. Not being able to turn PvP off also adds to this. So, the question is, should we disable PvP in towns unless you toggle it on? Would like to hear both sides of the argument. Many thanks, Lukas
Yes please. I don't want wiktor making me lose 20 levels again inside my own house. Even if returning items and blablabla. And it fixes the part of "Beefnia peaceful town".
Two sided on this. Personally I think it should be enabled by default and that anyone mod+ should be able to disable it for towns as is intended. I would put it this way because it prevents town mayors from merely disabling PvP for a period of time with the intention of enabling it later. IF we make this change-able, I would put a limit on it. If I decide to turn PvP off in my time, I should not be able to enable it again for at least a week, if not a month. On a different note, is it possible to toggle PvP per-plot? Maybe it would be better to give players the ability to disable PvP only in their plot instead of for a whole town. ~BAI1
Since I've been a member of xP towns have always had pvp enabled. I'm not saying I'm against change but it does set the server apart from other Towny servers for better or worse. Having pvp enabled in towns has always had the downside of people killing others not for gain but just to make them miserable, though there are benefits to town pvp. Disabling town pvp would essentially make wars obsolete because most wars are started because of pvp in towns. With a decline/loss of wars nations essentially become obsolete as well, (though their purpose at the moment is more aesthetic than practical anyways) unless war and therefore nation formation is restructured as well. Just to clarify I love the flags thing with wars and that's not what I want to restructure, just to address that they're currently a little hard to wage and would be even moreso if pvp is disabled. Without restructuring war this shifts almost all pvp to the arena world, which is not a bad thing by any stretch and could be encouraged with larger prizes, tourneys, events, making the leaderboards matter somehow, etc. I am in favour of mayors and assistants having the ability to toggle pvp at will (except in wartime if it is kept) but think we should discuss some of the aforementioned changes to wars, nations, and arenas.
