Sparring in Boston

[colesie]

My idea is to add "ghost damage" to be done in Boston. The way that this works is, when you're on the boston claim any players with rights of the englishman can hit you for damage. This will however not remove any blood from your actual humours bar. When your blood reaches a fictional "zero" you'll get stars over your head like when you are KO'd to show that you have lost all of your blood. After these stars go away your fictional blood will be reset to full. This allows for free, scentless sparring in Boston.

This also adds a huge amount of confusion and fear to noobs starting the game and seeing fights on the safe area. I think sparring is great at the moment. It requires some premeditation on the location, some trust in your sparring partner, and the risk of somebody getting your scents. Gaining combat experience should in fact come with these minor risks in my opinion.

(11:06:07 PM) Attelso: thats a horrible idea coles
(11:06:13 PM) JordanColes: How
(11:06:14 PM) Attelso: that would make people grief traders all day long
(11:06:22 PM) JordanColes: How
(11:06:29 PM) JordanColes: It does no damage to you
(11:06:29 PM) Attelso: by koing them constantly?
(11:06:33 PM) JordanColes: It's not KO
(11:06:36 PM) JordanColes: You don't go down at all
(11:06:47 PM) JordanColes: You get stars over head for like 10 seconds to show you've lost the duel
(11:06:54 PM) Attelso: so your not incapacitated in any way?
(11:06:55 PM) JordanColes: Nothing *actually* happens to you
(11:06:59 PM) JordanColes: No
(11:07:05 PM) Attelso: other than that its still a bad idea
(11:07:12 PM) Attelso: it makes people able to see how much blood humour you have
(11:07:19 PM) JordanColes: You can afk in boston all day and be stabbed and take no damage
(11:07:25 PM) Mushibag: newbs in boston will think they're gettin attacked all the time too
(11:07:32 PM) JordanColes: Alright, add a duel accept
(11:07:32 PM) Mushibag: they'll be scared to go to boston

In a perfect world I would ask for Haven sparring. Right click > spar > accept > fight

Mushibag and I coordinate our daily wardrobe as well as our ideas feedback every morning. I would support a system where two players kinned can "help eachother up" if they delivered a ko to eachother. This could not only speed up the sparring process but add a new dynamic for pvp if somebody goes down to friendly fire. There could be an animation similar in length to the. murder animation.

I would support this, I'd also support removal of the scent upon successful revival.
Sparring shouldn't be a deadly thing, you think otherwise but it really shouldn't. People are frustrated by the combat system as it is and adding this extra element makes it even more undesirable.

Please make that idea its own thread also, it's a good one imo and needs its own.

I am sure that open fights in safe zones would be scary for newbies.

Yeah add special area in capital cities for spars, where people can gather and fight

I hope there will be option for recording fights and later for silver you can buy replay from NPC Arena Master?
