Talking PVP on these boards is a lost cause, just forget about it and move on. Nothing good of it will come, no dev will reply and the fat lady will never sing.

Murderers shouldn't be able to vote or benefit from polite society.

The connection is you are a pvmer, you keep dieing, you obviously suck at healing yourself and survivability and you are in a thread that involves pvp raging because all you do is keep dieing. I can give you a few mil for insurance if it helps with your rage issues.

Again, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Other than me being a PvMer mostly these days, the rest of your post is just plain wrong.

I don't care if I die or not.... as long as the context in within the context of the game. My ability to survive is just fine, thanks for your concern.

Lets duel then. I'll play a red non faction character and you can play a blue faction character with the faction artifacts, town buff, whatever other crutch you need. You will not get a lvl 3 spell off on me.

Please don't lump me as an anti-pvp guy. Mith is totally right about this topic and the haters just keep on hating, suck it up boys and come fight like a real internet tough guy.

Your acting like "Story line or Role Playing stuff" really matters more than balancing game mechanics. I mean look at the fact that various npcs take BRIBES now... I could easily see a legitimate method for Governors to allow REDS access to the town buffs. Perhaps the RED must FUND it??? or Maybe a new quest that delivers supplies to the Gov's Town etc. Role playing reasons for REDS accessing Town Buffs are EASY to make FOR or AGAINST... but Balance? Blues get a big phatty PvP bonus that's impossible for REDS to get? That's just straight up UNFAIR. I mean if you think about it REDS are basically "specializing" in PvP by becoming RED but the new town buff system is penalizing them in the one thing they are specializing in??? LoL... Imagine if there was a way to do a quest so you could "specialize" in being a MERCHANT... perhaps receiving a discount to vendor pricing.... Then imagine that discount only applies if your character is a RED. It would be quite silly no?

Tazar and NuSair who are your pvp characters? I have a feeling that once again people who do not even pvp are trying to argue to keep the benefit of this bonus within their grasps. Why players who never even go into Felucca feel the need to chime in on pvp topics is beyond me.
*Points to Siege* You'll find me there.

uh huh... so you can whine when I kill you with a stealth archer or mystic thrower or tamer or whatever of my 3 dozen other characters because it was gimp, or lucky or whatever else. Just like every other time in general chat when pvpers spend more time talking than dueling.

I am under no delusions about beating you (or really anyone else) in true one on one pvp (assuming no scripts, hacks, or speeder used). I haven't 1 on 1 in about a year. When I do harrowers, it's on my sampire or 4x120 bard or tamer with a rune beetle.

But, if it will make you feel better about yourself, sure, I'll duel you. I'm heading out tonight to play descent, but ICQ me 2166691 and we'll set something up. I am sure you can use the insurance money. ;)

LoL BLUES CAN be in Factions & use Faction artifacts... Your comparison FAILS.
I never mentioned blues or reds.

I've been in factions from day one of its existence. I don't care who uses what in the game and have already said that anything should be made available to everyone. Faction artifacts are nothing in this game right now. Stop dwelling on it and go buy barbed kits, val hammers and make a Gargoyle suit around the town buff that all 7 blue characters on your account can use.
I´m looking forward to that link. No rush though.

Ya know I'm not trying to be an ass, but why do people who never leave trammel, unless to either go to their house if they happen to still live in bad ole Fel..or to try to sneak off an island spawn, give two damns if buffs are even in fel and available to reds to begin with? And if you do pvp..then the only real reason you disagree is purely so you can have an edge, even if it's a "marginal" one

LoL... ok.... Im sorry you didn't understand what you actually meant when you wrote what you did.. lemme help you UNDERSTAND it.

Mithryl Elves said:
The reason there is any pushback on this at all is because like Vexxed said "BLUES ARE USING THIS BUFF AGAINST REDS" It is being used as a crutch to make more dominant suits and templates.

I have a question.
Did you play (or joined) factions when they introduced the faction artifacts and if so, did you use the faction artifacts?
Getting Mith To YES / NO admit to using Faction arties.. which of course everyone knows he did...

If the answer is Yes then please link to your thread asking for non-faction PvPers to be able to use the artifacts as well.
Asking Mith to LINK to a thread he never created making the comparison that Faction character using "over powered" faction artifacts is no different than only BLUES being able to use over powered Town Buffs... And pointing out that since Mith Never asked for non-faction characters to be able to use faction artifacts that him asking for REDS to be able to use Town Buffs is inconsistent. Your comparison fails badly though because in reality BLUES can choose to use faction artifacts by joining factions where as REDS in todays UO CANNOT use Town buffs... *FACT*
If the answer is No then no link is required.

Thanks.

I care! I must admit I spend a lot of time on facets other than Fel... Malas, Tokuno and even Ter Mur. I actually spend very little time in Trammel though...

This game is about choices.

And since the voting system was implemented with the fact that reds can´t vote then it should stay that way. It should only be changed if there´s a real reason for it and imo this topic isn´t one of those reasons. Not even close.
There are and should be consequences to being red. Live with them.
And if you don´t like those consequences then you can go blue again. Simple as that.

Choices, people. Choices.

I appreciate that you´re trying to "put words in my mouth". :thumbup1:

My point of interest was actually this:

It is being used as a crutch to make more dominant suits and templates.
And now that we know he used faction arties and actually never made such a thread in the past we could ask ourselves "Why?".

Why didn´t he stand up and ask for a change when he was on the side that had the benefits of faction artifacts?
Why did he wait until now when his reds are on the side that doesn´t get the benefits?

Interesting indeed...

And lets not kid ourselves.
This whole thing is not about over- or underpowered items/town buffs. It´s not even overpowered in the first place, it´s just a tweak on a mod.
This topic falls under the "Gimme gimme" category. Some people are never satisfied until they can have it all.

I don't know why this is such an argument.
Back and forth about faction artifacts. Who cares? If you don't pvp it doesn't effect you.
What people do in Fel makes no matter to people who don't go there.
Let both facets use the Trade deals. Who cares. My GOD. Factions is dead. People are stressing faction artifacts? Who cares who used them. Most everyone in the PvP scene did at one time.
I really don't understand why people care so much if someone gets the same bonus they can get.
Reds should be punished? Really? No one believes that do they? Does anyone who regularly pvp not have a red character on their list? If you don't regularly pvp it shouldn't even be a matter for you to "vote" on.
I think you guys just like to pick things to argue about.

Ya know not for nothing..I get suspended for trolling randomly like this in a post..quite often actually. Check my past suspensions..But yet here we have a """MODERATOR""""...making useless posts, quite blatantly trolling a thread for no other reason other then his own amusement..WE know you play siege kelmo, and again this thread doesn't apply to "your kind" now go back to your dead shard

Not edited... JK :)

Min/maxing isn't a mod tweak...try making a useful 4/6 chin nox deathstriker without using an orny..well with the buffs you can quite easily and gain at minimum 2 mods..that can be extremely decisive I'm wether you live or die in a fight..

So the thread descended to "Duel Mah Main" as all seasoned observers knew it would, and yet apparently the original poster is going to win that duel despite not having access to the buff he's demanding, thus showing he thinks it's not that relevant at all? Ahh PvP "Logic"...! The sort that claims that they're hard-bitten warriors who put the work in to be just that strong... but want the benefits of a roleplay focused mechanic without doing any of the roleplay involved to get it at all. Whilst simultaneously claiming "carebears" need to be forced to go to Trammel and do stuff they hate in the hopes of getting rewards, rewards that they will kill you for after you do all the work and take anyway, because apparently they're the most precious little snowflake people in the world and their playstyle is so much more important. But Trammies are the entitled ones!

That's why people come into these threads and mock them; you guys are the Worst People In The World. Hell a PvPer even gave an alternative which would fit the lore and encourage Fel fighting in Bucs; it would be self regulating and self contained, a viable solution and a reasonable request; and the idea was largely ignored for the "Forum PvPz dramah" instead. So hy would any Dev want try and give you what you want, when many of you can't even be honest about what it is you really want?

That's a rhetorical question by the way. We're not arguing, because there's no argument, that was settled more than a decade ago. We're laughing at you. You'll never get the mistakes of 1997 repeated again. And it's 2013 today. And no, Richard Garriott really isn't going to make Shroud of the Avatar into pre-Tram Fel for that matter either... look at you all posting over there claiming he secretly is! You guys are absolutely nuts!

Why should murderers get town buffs? It makes no sense, they are criminals, no town in their right mind would buff up wanted murderers, they'd lock them in jail.

(sarcasm) How about if the murderer can make it to the town stone before the guards get him, he can get the buff, otherwise he is caught and can't use that character for a whole year (/sarcasm).

My understanding earlier is that almost every town buff can be replicated by some of the food items added after High Seas... so why do murderers need the town buff again when they can just cook what they need? If I am wrong, I apologize, but I don't see the need for devs to work on this when they already can get this buff through in game means.

I also don't understand the original poster's goal here... making a suggestion and starting a conversation only to start name calling within a few posts isn't going to get anything done.

You folks should have a lil more respect for each other. A lil more respect for Siege players too, we agree to PvP every time we log in.
