Okay i pvp on europa quite alot.
I think greater dragons do too much damage to players. Im not moaning about them in pvm or anything like that (hella useful for harrys and stuff), but they are just immensely powerful in pvp and its almost unbalanced. I saw the post about the cheaters from an american shard and it looked like there was a ton of greater drags being used in pvp.
Luckily on Europa there isnt too many people abusing them, but i just generally find it REALLY hard to kill someone with a greater drag backing them up. It can sometimes take like 3 people to take the drag down alone, and it does like 55 damage fireballs every 10 seconds, let alone bleeding you and doing paralyse, nox, and fireballs all from 4 screens away.
I will tell you now i have a pvp tamer, and from my experience, its far too easy. i dont like playing it because its not really a challenge.
Dont get me wrong, i know you need to be on foot as it takes up all 5 follower slots, but still to find these gimps with hiding/archery/stealth/taming/lore etc is just a bit too easy for them imo. Im sure UO was not intended to be like this. You now get archer tamers who dismount you, set the drag on you, and what hope in hell have u got unless uve got ninja or u can pull off some quick teleporting.
Pvp has always been about skill to an extent, but really what skill do u need with a greater drag backing you up. I dont mind tamers with like cu's, mares, beetles etc, i think it's fine, but i personally think these greater drags are far too overpowered. Especially when you consider that the devs did a really good job recently of balancing pvp. It seems like one step forward two steps backward.
In usual stratics fashion i expect to find a million people disagreeing with me for the sake of it. But i just wanna know what others think. I like greater drags for PVM, but the damage they do in a pvp environment is way over the top.. imo.
Feel free to comment.
