Gladiator League

[trylobyte]

A common issue with Spot/Listen vs. Hide/MS is that Hide/MS gear tends to be both more plentiful and carry higher bonuses than Spot/Listen gear, meaning that on a high-magic high-gear server like CD it's very easy for Hide/MS to completely run away from what Spot/Listen can realistically detect.  It's what makes Glitterdust so important.

Anyway, this is probably best moved to a separate thread.  This is getting off-topic, and I apologize for that.

Fine.  Ban HiPS.  But then also ban healing potions/kits, cure spells, knockdown (as already mentioned), any auto-hit spells (IGMS), all displacement spells, all summon spells, etc etc etc.  Because each of these requires limited methods to counter/avoid them.  Fair is fair, after all.

Seriously, guys, where do you draw the line?

No one said to ban it, but being aware of how it operates mechanically is important if you want to make an informed decision on it either way.  My point was that you better make flurry2 and flurry3 of that first round count because you could be in trouble afterwards.

Banning it because you heard it was bad is certainly not the answer (which is/was done in countless places), nor is allowing a free for all (CD took the middle ground with the skill mods on quick use; which, from a scripting sense, is the best work-around to the hard coded nature of the ability).


In the end it's all Dom's decision on how it goes.

Getting back on topic, is the intent to have the owners pick the combatants in game, or just via the thread?

You can probably add my Thayan Knight character to list (Danax Kallos, Fighter7), but he'll probably be the lowest level and a pure fighter, so maybe not much use.  I can fill a spot on a team if that's all you need to compete though.

Plan on doing a draft style start for the league.  Then trades can be made or w/e where team owners can discuss / haggle / promise favors to other team owners to situate the best team they think they can manage.

We'll do it on the forums, since I doubt we'll get these specific 15 people together at any given time.

Once I have names for all the teams, we'll get that started.

I notice you have Nikki and Geno listed. I'm fine to play one or the other. I guess whichever gets picked first depending if they want a cleric or a wall.
