Is it possible to implement PvP combat in certain maps?

[Luminescent]

Hello all,

I know Wolf Soul, and Dragon's Den has made an in-game map in which you are allowed to fight against another player. It's a nice feature, and is well regulated and monitored as I'm sure there have been a minimum amount of accidents/personal problems, as they have stressed and warned players about fighting other players without their discretion, putting signs in-game stating that if you fight with them knowing, it will result in (ban, suspension, etc.)


I think this would be a pretty cool feature, but is it possible? Does it take a lot of money/coding to do so? Or was it just simply ruled out...?

Please take a minute to post your answers/thoughts.

I do think this would be fun, with supervision, like for a event. And I would love this feature, also good for roleplays, like you can accually die in roleplays now if this feature was added! XD But really I think it would be cool to add this into LastMoon, I never really used it when I played DragonsDen though, and I never played wolfsoul. I only used it in DragonsDen ONCE... So... And my DD is trixie222 if you wanted to know, I know that was random but.. Im the craziest of the crazy, says my BFF so yah. I will just stop talking so you can go back to eating or whatever the heck you were doing as I typed this.

Hmm...
This is an interesting idea.

I can see this work for some kind of events hosted by our admins and mods but sadly, I am afraid I believe as an everyday feature it could potentially cause some problems. The game cannot be monitored 24/7, although I am sure our admins and mods do their best to do so. While Last Moon has an amazing community and the most people I met could easily play PVP with the utmost respect for consent. But one should not ignore potential issues, despite this.

There would be people getting away with non-consented PVP. Or new people wanting to check out the map and get attacked before they would realize what it is or be able to look around the map.

But...

Maybe when you spawn on the map, you would be automatically put into a section that is a non-PVP zone, to give people a safe place to return to or spawn without being attacked, either accidentally or intentionally.

That would make the feature so much more safe.

There is a thing that already has a sort of "PvP" element, where admins can hit other players..... but it kills them LOL.
I can see this being used for contests actually, where admins temporarily loan it to the players fighting, and then afterwards remove it.
Will add to the potential to-do list

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

I know this idea has a lot of cons... but also pros. I mean, every idea I've ever came up with has it's weak spots. I hope this feature could be added. I wish I could help in the process, but I'm not good with coding. I'm usually good at facilitating. But enough about me, this could possibly gain more community members.

And Dutchval, thank you for considering this idea, plus thanks to Tortuga for possible tweaks, and Canine for the support.

THANKS!

This is a very cool idea, but I think PvP should be supervised because, as Tortuga said, there could be trouble between players because of this reason. Also, the non-PvP area feels like an obligatory thing, as no one would like being killed right after entering an area because of spawning lag, as it happens to me, or something similar to that.

If we implemented PvP.
I suggest only for a short time or only for a single map that could double as a theatre/arena.

And of course it needs red sand because Arenas had red sand. Red sand doesen't stain

hey yo kiddos

guess what

PvP is super easy, it's extremely possible considering I know the code lmao.
I'll mention it to Myz.

I'm certain CloudFish made a PvP map Dutch

he tested it out on me >: ( if he still has lm downloaded he's probably got it

Thats why I said that I'll think about it, but I'd have to fiddle with the coding of the PvP before :L

go do your cv criminal scum

I've been new here for a week and when I was hanging out with other people, there was this person who could attack other people! So I decided so test it out myself and I found out you couldn't. How did he do that?

P.S. PvP is awesome in-game!
