Why is it still against the rules, when an update was made to the life spell that prevents being able to be lifed while someone is on you? It seems like legitimate strategy to me for pvp so your enemies cant get back up and kill you.

Prevents people from being able to respawn.

The rule is against grave blocking, not corpse blocking.

http://www.terulia.com/?t=1671#unread would make this not a problem anymore at all, and remove any confusion, or the issue of having to be careful to move when the player graves.

What really made this against the rules in the first place were hugeass overworld icons that completely covered a corpse

So being able to click your corpse/grave through them would solve this problem.

But the engine isn't particularly allowed to set this up very easily. Gaku would probably have to jump through a bunch of flaming hoops, and we know how much of a lazy fat-ass kaya-- ohai Gaku didn't see you there how's wurk.

No, but uh, it would probably require some major changes. It WOULD be easier to include a Respawn verb, like how we have Relog.

Personally, I don't have as much of a problem with grave blocking (though it still can be bad, just like everything else PvP). I mean, in major PvP warfare with multiple people on one side, I would have to ****ing commend someone that could keep up with a bunch of people and still be able to stand on someone's corpse.

But in the case of someone who lives in Argo, for example, or someone that is "hated" (Hydro), it's just plain griefing.

True, but I think what it comes down to is this. Is allowing the "Life" spell in the game an improvement to the game play in FFO and is it fair and balanced enough to be used properly without major flaws?

There are plenty of pros and cons to this debate and it should possibly be discussed in another topic. I'd actually like to see what people really think about it.

If more people are pro life or against it.

Shane: Yeah the respawn verb would have the same effect so that works too.

I have no opinion on Life getting removed or not, but if it does, it'll suck not having a super unique cool ability like everyone else minus Masters does.

Fog isn't cool enough for you?

Masters get Kick. I think that's pretty cool.

I mean, that's sort of a thing about Wizards. They get all this flashy magic, but really there's nothing particularly uber unique about them - Red Wizards being the exception since they are total ***s.

If you think about it, Knight skills are quite generic, Ninja skills are very generic, and Black Wizard skills are all generic as bloody hell, and let's not even start on Red Wizards - KINGS OF GENERALNESS. Really, Masters get probably the most unique skills with Kick, Throw, etc. etc., and that's still pushing it.

Considering that Fog is game-breaking, Ruse if used correctly is game-breaking, and Marcus and I did some epic Dragon **** using Barrier + Thorns equipment.
