PvP Question

[White Knight]

In a PvP fight, does the computer make use of your buffs and special abilities? I suspect not, since I can defeat the green dragon through intelligent use of my special abilities, but I regularly get beaten by Gods with fewer hit points than greenie. I also tend to feed my mount and buff myself up before retiring, in hopes that it will give me an edge. If this is not the case, please let me know, so that I can stop wasting time and money.

[BLOODDRAGON]

yes PvP if your the attacker or the Attackie the only buff you get is yuor racial buff and thats it so yes while yuor sleeping yuor buffs are not active hope that clears things up

[JCP]

Stop wasting time and money.

The game will use your max hitpoints, so there's no need to even heal.

[White Knight]

Okay, that answers the question. Thanks.

HANG ON!

If you go to sleep in the fields and someone attacks YOU, you are automatically maxed by the game.

If you choose to attack someone ELSE... I would advise you to heal!

As mentioned though, only Elven Awareness, Trollish Strength etc stay with you in a PvP. Other buffs are stripped (Audrey, special powers, ale etc).

Saucy,

I remember clearly this feature was changed about 6 months ago, and those buffs only worked in forest fights now. Hence the fact that the "+1" to the characters' abilities are now shown in green, instead of just an added number .

Can you verify this? Has it been changed back so Trolls and Elves have this benefit again?

[White Knight]

Just for the record, I almost never perform PvP. By the tenets of my clan (which I founded), I am prohibited from engaging in PvP with anyone of lesser stature than myself.

Yes. When the races were first made into modules, this got broken and was quickly changed back.

Thanks for the info, this is good to know. I was always under the impression that it was implemented by choice. I even remember a MOTD, stating that from now on those buffs only were effective in the forest. That was six months ago, I'm probably confused.

Trollish Strength and Elvish Awareness and whatever the Felyne one is do not work in PvP. So that means... *gasp* Saucy was... WRONG! Dun dun dun.... :o

[Gambit]

AH, but.. but.. that means.. I'm NOT confused! :)

if your attacking, they stay, if your defending? I can't quite understand what goes on for THAT, as I always die...

stormgiant's get to carry in the boulder

[Acemaster]

I know nothing about Storm Giants and whether or not their buffs stay.

[Moonchilde]

Let me reiterate.

The buffs are applied (or their equivalent!) if you are the attacker or the defender in PvP.

Please trust that this actually does work as advertised :)
