Smolderforge Support Community

Aaaalright so I came here a few days ago, having played on AT-TBC for quite some time and actually noticed some things Smolderforge could only benefit from when adopting.
Actually didn't bother looking through the whole forum if there is any discussion about any of those but i guess you gotta bear with it ;)

-let cd's reset with duels starting and create a dueling area for alliance and horde, cuz of obvious reasons...dueling is fun, and running to that cat is definitly NOT (since there is no real world pvp there is no actual danger of abusing the cd reset of duels imo, and in hyjal you could simply make it impossible to duel like in tanaris)

-i don't see a reason not to either give players access to a .utility changefaction command like on at wotlk or simply an npc to talk to in order to change faction like on at tbc

-making bg's alliance-horde mixed would actually make it a lot more even in terms of waiting time, for the time ppl actually did bg's there it worked really well for at (which i keep on mentioning^^)

-maybe make arena a little more...rewarding, by spreading rating requirements a little more(like 1700-2000) and maybe add sunwell weps, or vanilla skin items for 2,2 or something like that(no idea if that fucks your idea of donations up)

that's all i could think of right now...oh and i found the npc's in the mall a little messy to say the least, but that's probably just me beeing odd :P

anyways cheers

Everthing you said has been discussed in the past.

I would love to see CD's reset whenever a duel starts, but sadly it's been abused, and will probably be abused again if implemented.

About changing factions. This wasn't really implemented in the TBC client, so it's a bit more complex to pull off afaik.

Cross-faction bg's is also something that's been suggested before, but it most likely won't happen.

As for arena, I agree. Not that I care, since I don't really bother playing arena here.

I would love to see CD's reset whenever a duel starts, but sadly it's been abused, and will probably be abused again if implemented.

like how exactly can it be abused on a server like this? you can't duel in instances, quel'danas is a no-pvp-zone anyway, and in those important locations like hyjal dueling could simply be disabled

i know ofc that cross bg's as well as faction changing isnt something to pull off right away but both were things in which i see no downsides at all...thus actually should be something I'd work on asap as a dev.
but then again i know too less about programming and stuff to really discuss that topic
just beeing used to it from at, so i thought it would be a good idea to bring it up here

Not to come off rude to a new player, but I have discussed these over and over again countless times on these forums, provided examples, etc. and I quite frankly am not in the mood to do it all over again right now.

sure, no biggie...i just don't see the difference between AT and this server in terms of possible changes (abusal as well as programming wise)
but i guess i just have to look up older threads about it to get ur arguments^^

Resetting CDs automatically at the start of every duel messes up world pvp. Players already use duels to quickly get full health and mana. Resetting all their cool-downs after every fight is a bit much. Rogues already have enough going for them.

i absolutely got that point, it's that yet i haven't seen world pvp happen here^^
(btw i dont think anyone would complain if there was an actual duel area and dueling anywhere else would be disabled)

In the past when duels resetted cooldowns. People abused it in hyjal for example:
Rogues resetting cd's.
Shamans resetting their Bloodlust and Heroism CD's.
Mages resetting their PoM + Pyroblast.
etc. etc.

That's just not fair in world PvP.

as i said, just disable dueling at hyjal for example...problem solved

Love the sig Fak, hahah :P
