Get Rid of No-Chop Sigil

[Tard the Paladin]

The Point of Bloodshed should be tossed out. This is not to say that under different circumstances it could have been a good incentive for factions. Currently, it is abused by the no-talent EQMS zerg.

Taking an honest look at the status of faction pvp is disheartening. For a while the no-cut zone had some great faction battles going on every night. Those days have passed. Why? The best pvp'ers have no interest in the red zerg - flamestrike/closest target routine.

Its bad enough that faction pvp has fizzled away. Now, even standard game play for the entire shard is tainted. Blues cannot effectively thwart the zerg simply because you cannot stat them. Think about the end result of the Point of Bloodshed. It has given a group of 15+ reds the ability to pk without stat loss. Faction pvp is dead, the idoc scene has been handed over to the zerg, and basically players are disgusted.

Just let us stat the no-talent zerg, already.

Chime in y'all.

Disagree.

Thank you for mentioning this. Red zerg squads are favored over faction PvP, whereas it should be the other way around. When in reality, Minax holds a monopoly due to an INCREDIBLY unbalanced faction system, which just gives them buffs.
Basically, with this, EQMS has become 247 on steroids, yet Alundra was banned because he couldn't control 247 and was driving people out, and the server is allowing EQMS to do the same thing on a higher scale.
Gluttony has said himself that he used to think the best way to to win on a server is to conquer the server by destroying the server, and has provided lip service saying that he no longer thinks this is the case, yet his actions prove otherwise.
I'm not bashing proper leadership, mind you. If there's one thing Gluttony has the potential to be, it's charismatic. And he clearly has leadership ability. However, proper leadership with a desire to "win" at a server will just lead to a dead and undesirable shard.
If the zerg mentality is going to remain, the least that could be done is get rid of the damned PvP buffs.
Fuck this sigil above all sigils.

^Nailed it

 

[GluttonySDS]

Lore/PSP alliance is 3x as large as EQMS... they are the true zerg.

p.s.

Couldn't be more wrong :]

 

[Drustan]

I can't provide any real basis for my arguments so I'm just going to say you're wrong for the sake of Lord Gluttony Christ.

I fixed that for you.

 

[GriefedYaBish]

@Tard the Paladin You should learn how point of bloodshed works, you only get the power for two hours if you killed an opposing factioner. Its not that great because its summer not as many opposing factioners on,1/10 heads you go to cut will have that point of power.

 

[GriefedYaBish]

I fixed that for you.

We don't have people running around calling people N****, trolling nonstop, cussing at staff, players, etc (rage) was the main reason Alundra was banned. No one on eqms is "deep in the puss" and acts like that, glutt has full control of the guild. You are mad because we have the numbers and control sigils/faction at the moment. Very similar to what dmg was doing when we first got here. Glutt has never said shit about destroying the server plz toss out more bs accusations. Its funny to see how #affected some of you are.


ps eqms loves uof, why else do play/donate/promote UOF. The two biggest promoters of uof on reddit and outside uo forums are @Karl Sagan(companion) & @GimpCent both eqms members

 

[GluttonySDS]

I've gotten at least 30 people to come to UOF from uoforever... while its true they are scum UO men, they are UO men nonetheless.

 

[Drustan]

Did you miss the main point of what I was saying?
It's impossible to get rid of ganks and zergs. It's UO. To be expected.
What needs to go is the Point of Bloodshed and an unbalanced faction system.

And yes, Gluttony did say that. (not verbatim but straight forward enough to be impossible to mistranslate) and he even followed it up with something like "I love UOF, I don't want to fuck any more servers." And he can speak for himself.

 

[Tard the Paladin]

The "no factioners to kill" argument falls flat. I agree that there are few factioners out there to kill and yet EQMS corpses are more often than not, unchoppable. What is a definite possibility is simply keeping alts in other factioners to simply get the needed points.

 

[GluttonySDS]

How much do you hate PVP that you're crying about the no cut zone?

 

[Tard the Paladin]

I support no cut zone. The sigil is what needs to be taken out.

 

[GluttonySDS]

We rarely use it, no fucks given

Chime in y'all.

Nobody forces you to fight the reds outside of town. The same argument can be made for guard zone. Why should 20 blues be able to kill 10 reds and make their characters useless for two days while hugging the guard zone? If you don't like the fact that you can't gank the shit out of reds and stat them then don't fight them. Also, there are just as many blues the only difference is that a majority of the blues are lower quality of Pvpers and not as coordinated as EQMS is.

 

[Tydeus]

Perhaps something can be implemented to limit the amount of spell types being cast on the screen or in an area to one or two flamestrikes every 5 seconds per guild.

 

[Ch4se]

Would be better off to copy uoforever's PvP rules minus the bolas and lightning wands :0

 

[Jamiezz (Temp. Removed)]

I feel like tard the paladin is living up to his name and simply does not realize opposing factions can not cut heads of other factions.

This is the dumbest argument I've read in a while. If there are no opposing factions to kill, how is anyone using the point of bloodshed?

I think the other thing he has failed to realize is that every time I fight a 4v4 or 5v5 against anyone in the TB/COM/Bad player alliance the only way they get a kill ever is holding FS and railing someone.

I'm pretty sure this thread was made by someone who simply does not understand the faction system and its benefits/rewards and also simply does not participate in it.
