Post No PvP in Lyceum?
A lot of players have been complaining about getting killed by players in Lyceum. One problem is that it's protected, so people feel like they should be safe, but there aren't any cops, so the protection doesn't actually mean much.

We are considering marking Lyceum as a "No PvP" galaxy, which simply means you're unable to attack other players there. What do you guys think?

I'd rather make attacking some else make the guardian go agro on you. More fun that way.

If they want access on uz content, they should be able to pass some blockages eh ?:P

I see two choices:

A) Remove the protected icon, as it implys something that is not the case.

B) Fix the Guard so that it attacks someone for breaking the peace.

I'm of course a huge PvP fan. I think that to get end game content and skills there should be a risk.

With Lyceum located in warp 0, and with its danger factor being.. zero.. i assume (I'm not ingame right now to check). I don't think that it should be a place anybody should fear to be. If people want to fight, go to perilous, or collo. Warp 0 shouldn't be a place to be afraid (Unless of course somebody truly hates you.. and well other reasons like that)

if it just pushes pvp into first lvl you still have your blockade yes?

Then people can access the skills and when they get kicked out of UZ with no gg they are safe

While I agree with Trevor I must say that Focus/Class skills IS NOT end game content imo. The UZ on the other hand is.

All in all, I would personally like to see the guardian act as the police of lyceum. If you want to stop someone from accessing the UZ ubers then do it within the UZ.

Just keep the pvp range really close to the levels involved in the pvp. Dont let a level 2k attack a level 1k.

Should be protected but by GotL(killable) so that you can PvP you just have to have a good monk or kill Guardian as hes pretty much the most ignored uber ingame.

Give Guard beefs if pvp is to continue, add drones to protect the gates and some around the bases, AI base start up guns if someone shoots a person.

Adv Blocks are ignored by Guard if you initiate the pvp.


Or.
Unpvpable.

Or.
Normal Galaxy.


Personally, I like the first, since a sniper can kill players with range since Guard has less range than all snipers, most SD's, and some Zerkers. Seers can shoot/pop adv blocker to avoid the Damage.
