War Time

That defeats the objective. Why work hard to get good gear and lots of people for it not to count? The point is not pvp ability but preparation..

 

[SallyPirate]

Yeah but how are we going to stop people bringing illegal items in anyways?
There are methods but I imagine it would take considerable effort and just not be worth it in the end.

I can see your inventoryyyy

 

[Angryboy]

Oh yeah we've already seen who can prepare the best.
But it's hardly fair to say that a noob in god-armour is better than someone with almost-perfect combat skills with no gear; is it?

In terms of raw power, the combat-pro would win easily. In terms of preparation, the noob would win because of their god-armour.

 

[Angryboy]

Then why didn't you see the Lonmar person bringing in an Enderpearl?

There was more than one person carrying them. I saw multiple people drop them.

Well then that combat pro is a dumbarse to not be better prepared and that noob is intelligent enough to prepare. It is a battle after all, preperation is key.

Lonmar person

There was more than one person carrying them. I saw multiple people drop them.

I was referring to Lonmar. Are you suggesting that several Lonmar soldiers had Enderpearls? And that we were lied to about it only being ONE?

Also on Teamspeak I heard someone, not sure who, saying they walked over a dead guy who had dropped a pearl as well. It is very much possible that pearls were being swapped between sides due to items being dropped on death.

What if, let's say in the event of a siege, the pro was taken by surprise with no gear and had no way to get any? Hardly fair if he can't get to his own stock.

Anyways the point I was trying to make is it doesn't show COMBAT skill if one side is practically immune to everything thrown at them.

To be fair, PvP in this game doesn't involve too much skill.

Okay let me rephrase "combat skill" to "who can click the fastest".

As for the Ender Pearls.. Perhaps the people who had them had them in their inventory, and just then learned they couldn't use them, without any time to put them away? Only one person used one, showing that that theory is indeed reasonable, angry...

Several members off both teams.

The pro isn't being taken by surprise it's a planned battle!

Would you be whining this much if you won?
Of course we already know that answer.

We were told well before hand that we weren't allowed them. Its the leader's responsibility to make sure none of the troops had them.

Also we had enderchests there too. The rules were read out before the battle started. People had the chance to put them away.

True, though as it turns out, some people aren't very good at listening... As long as they didn't use them, and merely had them in their inventory, I do not see the point in bickering over it.

I'm not talking about whether it's planned or not, I'm talking about it coming down to combat skill.
I know I'm not a good fighter but there were some pretty good fighters on my side who lost for stupid reasons.

Have you ever played the original pokemon games? Get up to the Elite Four; no matter how good a team you have, you will always be annoyed when the opponent is down to 1hp and then uses full-restore.

Sadly, some users did.

The point is people WERE using them.

 

[wark]

Yes, as stated above, though I'm fairly certain the majority who did indeed have them in their inventory didn't...

The entire point I'm trying to make here, is it isn't something people should really waste their time arguing and complaining about, as either way, it was a great first battle, and the faults will be surely ironed out in the future battles...

Well... Imagine this a knight or Lord goes on a hunting trip for several days, when hé then returns his castle is under siege. Thus causing him to be unable to get to his armoury in Said castle, which means he is unable to get his armour and weapons. This is unfair yes, but I highly doubt that the attackers would let him into his castle, just so that they Can have a fair duel.

 

[Spark]

This pointless crap is going nowhere, this part of the event is over, maybe people will listen in the next one. Nothing can be done about this one just gone. Instead of complaining about the rules, adapt and make sure you are as well armed as the enemy.

If one army has trained fighters with swords and the opponent had inexperienced fighters with heavy machine guns who would win?
