So, when is perma immunity being removed?

[Lowell_high]

<p>Honestly, why are players able to <i>control </i>their own immunity?  Having Immunity with PVP is an oxymoron.  Why would you have immunity if you have PVP?  The less immunity the more PVP, and isn't that why we are all here?  If you die and want immunity then <b>stay dead.  </b>That should be your <b>only </b>option.  If you die, then you should better get the hell out of the zone, if you can't handle the heat then get out of the kitchen.  </p><p>Its stupid to allow players to sit free of danger in every single zone in this game.  Cities should be the only place a player is free of danger, once you step foot outside it should be every man for himself.  </p><p>Who cares if you can't rebuff in time, you shouldn't be allowed too.  Why do you want to rebuff?  So you can get the upper hand on the player that just killed you, right?  You should of been ready the first time around, you don't have the upper hand anymore, you gave it up - you had the chance and your carelessness lost it.  You should have to run and hide to rebuff, you should feel unsafe and scared.  This is what PVP is about, the rush and the adrenaline.</p><p>There is no rush anymore, players can click one button and be free of harm leaving the hunters upset and disgruntled.  Please re think and re do the immunity system, hopefully one that allows us to fight one another.  Make this game fun again. =(</p>

<p>like i said earlier in a different post.  I'm fine with a long immunity timer like 60 or 90 seconds for someone that died, they can buff have some time to talk about what happened, but when that timer is up, they are done.</p><p>Evac should get you like 30 seconds and then you gotta leave... it shouldn't be a "I'm touching safe, you can't get me"</p>

[dr4gonUK]

<p>Considering eq2pvp started with no perm immunity, only being introduced after all the carebears whined on this forum, theres zero chance of them removing perm immunity imho.</p>

I am almost even fine with a 5 minute timer just not permanent immunity.

<p><i>the perma immunity rule after evacing is BS. It is BS after death too. </i></p><p><i>For the longest imen we didn't have it and pvp was fine. People campign revive points ? 99% of revive points were close to a griffon or zone line or a cloud station. Your 30seconds immunity was enough to get you there. </i></p><p><i>With the current immunity rules you get people sit in immunity watch the fight ..as soon as a side is about to lsoe they drop immunity, kill get infamy evac back to immunity. </i></p><p><i>I totally agree with the OP, it is BS it should be removed. </i></p>

[Qanil]

<p>nobody is asking to camp a revive point.  A long timer.. shoot 2 minutes would be better than nothing.  2 minutes is long enough to get FAAR faaar away from a revive point.</p><p>When some of you "graduate" up to some of the T7 zones you'll see EXACTLY why we want this changed in SOME way.  Until then, have fun at the griff tower in Antonica.</p>

[jam3]

I would like atleast a 3minute immunity timer then or something.. my conjuror has 9 or so buffs to cast that i cant do while im moving..unlike scouts.

[rvbarton]

<p>bring back bind respawns, like in EQ1.  If you die, you go to your bind spot.</p><p> That will fix this problem.  if you bind in a spot where you can get ganked, it's no one's fault but your own.</p><p> Problem solved.</p>

[Bloodfa]

Agreed.  Perma-immunity is a waste, and makes zero sense.  2 minutes to allow for rebuff & regroup, or rebuff & CoQ would be more than ample time.

[Lowell_high]

Personally, I would love to see pvp death resulting in being sent to your bind point.  It would make res spells actually useful and it would be a solution to so many problems. Zerging, immunity, etc

[eu]

<p>What about making it a 3 minute timer that is 100% unbreakable meaning</p><p>For this argument you have 3 minutes to decide if you want to stay in zone or not.</p><p>For the zerging argument you cant hit a mob to break immunity or re-engage and zerg if you just died even if your group is still in combat with whoever just killed you.</p><p> My only concern with this is can the mechanics support it? Can you make it where if you get attacked by a mob you can defend yourself without breaking your PVP immunity? And can you rebuff without breaking immunity or make it where you just cant cast group buffs while your party is still in combat?</p>

Perma immunity needs to go, both after evac and revival. But a 30 seconds countdown wouldn't hurt, though. This is exactly how it used to be before they decided to carebear it down completely. And whats up with the safe docks? No need for that either, do you ask me....

[treyy]

With the no zoning rule in place, permanent immunity needs to be removed. Players should be able to control zones again, not stand around watching the only fight theyve seen in hours go afk in a contested zone. Players should be given enough time to buff and zone. After evacing players should be given at most 10 seconds of immunity. By controlling or zone or griefing a group of people you either: a) force them to leave and possibly get hunted or b) force them to get more people to in turn clear you out of the zone or grief you back. The latter is what made pvp so good when the servers first went live. Factions organized to assist one another and massive battles ensued. The implementation of permanent immunity onto the pvp servers nearly killed them. With several very good recent changes being made, this would be a good time to ENCOURAGE pvp again, instead of supplying just another way for people to avoid it.

[jaff247]

perma immunity takes away zone control, isnt that the whole point of pvp? not standing on bar until enough other people of your own faction run by so you can tag a level 7 mob to instantly break it and then aoe for fame, then evac again and sit in perma immunity again. the worst thing ive seen with perma immunity is watching guilds standing with it outside of Sol Eye, , an x4 of them, preparing to break and then with timers counting down run to the avatar to try and wipe people doing contested mobs on a pvp server. There was an entire other raid force their to guard the ones at the avatar, but we can only stand and watch everyone zone thru and ready up, to run thru us immune all the way to the people actually fighting the mob. I cant understand anyone agreeing thats how pvp should be.

[Lowell_high]

What I don't understand is when I was accepted into EOF Beta with Havoc and only a few Talisman to feedback and discuss PVP, I started many threads including one large post about the biggest issues in regards to PVP.  Everyone discussed and put their own input into the thread which was paged long, one of the biggest concerns was Immunity and Res zerging and I can't remember one response ever suggesting some type of Permanent Immunity - yet Archonix (who was in charge of PVP at the time) acknowledged the problem but implemented one of the worst ideas.  It was like he noticed there was a concern with Immunity but failed to read any of the really good suggestions and valid points from the community.  This being the community who was there to provide feedback for him, our voices werent even heard.  He saw there was a problem with immunity - ignored the community - and implemented his own idea.

[MistrNole]

I don't so much have a problem with people having perma immunity after they die, but <b>after</b> they evac is what gets me. Breaking immunity with mobs so you can pick a time to engage = lame. Can't say I haven't done it but it's still lame. But ya, your right Jubs, there was tons of good suggestions when we were discussing Immunity and Rez Zerging issues (mainly due to hurricanus at the time), but nothing was really put in to stop it. If nothing else, they made it worse imo. Zomg plzzz no bind point...Plzzzz plz plz plz, VG made me cry IRL.

its much easier to travel in eq2 than it is vanguard =p

[orehn]

I would love to see immunity changed in some way-the old system wasn't that bad, though I must admit the occasional "evac-to-immunity-while-I-do-laundry" is definitely not on my "must fix" list. =D Speaking of laundry.../afk

[jaff247]

with all the pvp tuning going on, i really cannot believe this isnt getting any attention at all.

[Bozidar]

<p>They should change the docks to non-immune, and put a seperate extention on the docks for those waiting for a boat.  I get it.. folks need to wait for a boat because you wanted to put boats into the game.  /cheer</p><p>But perma-immunity on the docks as soon as you zone in is just silly.  </p><p>How about a seperate boat dock for bells and one for the EoF boats?  Maybe off to the side a ways.. both TS and Nek have room.  Butcherblock doesn't even HAVE bells, so just make the parts of the docks that extend over the water immunity areas, not the whole bloody place.</p><p>Just my 2 cents..</p>

[Lowell_high]

How about eliminating Bell use and have a boat in EFP, Qeynos Harbor, EL, NEK, TS, ZEK, EF, Feeroott, am I missing any?  Have a ticket master at every dock buy your ticket, wait for the boat in any of these zones, and once you zone you go to where you purchased your ticket for.  And take away perma immunity!
