All rules fall under four categories: Accessibility Cost Reduction Balance Simplicity More information will be posted as we get closer
Intention
The intention of the rules is to provide new and old pvpers a fair start to get into PvP and understand what PvP could be in PoE. Banning Legacy items and beneficial corruptions is an example of Accesibility, even if there were many PvP builds that did not need those players without access to them immediately can feel that they do not have the tools to even participate. Banning 21 gems is to drastically reduce the cost of experimenting and making sure players do not feel they lose matches because their opponent simply has higher level gems in all their sockets by throwing exalts at the same build. 4links Max is for balance, PvP damage is too high and no one wants competitive PvP in PoE to be two players trying to one shot the other offscreen when the match starts and they do not even see the other player. Simplicity is a double edged sword: there are some great flasks that are not broken in PvP but many that are and an exhaustive detailed list that is 30 pages long of PvP rules will turn off players. It isn't a perfect system but it was what the PvP community could agree on would be a nice way to start.
These rules are new, designed to force veteran PvPers to learn a new Meta, so take the time to learn with them and keep giving us feedback.

It's actually... good (or so it seems to me).
Good job on those and to everyone involved. If I still had an ounce of interest in the game I would be down for this but,alas , poe is now a massive pile of crap that I won't touch with a stick and I'm just checking this board because bad habits are hard to get rid of. I hope someone will record some of the games so I can still enjoy it from far away. EDIT: Hum, seems like you forgot legacy surgeon mod on flask or maybe the community thought that would allow other classes to fight against pathfinders/scion.

Fist of all let me congratulate you for this concept and all the people involved. It is indeed needed for pvp competition to be player controlled in games like this. Its the only available option.
Because once u change a T value another skill gem will just take its place. I got a couple of things to say and im also interested into be proved wrong: As we know, this is a builders/crafters game, not a skillful arena game - since you can clear the whole game with just one button. Just like F1 is a constructers race, not much of a pilots race. The intention of using uniques only and the gear balance seems like theres an idea of "winning by skill" behind it. Which in my opinion is totally out of context. This not wow arena. The kb/ea/sr/volatile cesspool from current pvp will also come up in the "6 week unofficial PvP season" and you will only need 1 week to realise that, 6 weeks are not needed at all. I think its more engaging to look for gear upgrades and to craft your own items. I was thinking about this subject and a few ideas came up to my mind. A legacy kaoms chest swap/weapon swap with 21 gems (i.e.) from your inventory, mid fight, will not show up on the "web open profile" in time. Even the whole pvp rounds can end faster than the web page gets to update even... (also open profiles for some pvp ppl is not an option to consider) I think that for your rules to work one of two things needed to be implemented: Either the option to inspect a players gear for a 3rd person inside the arena: spectator/judge Or A "clean arena" option where mtx's and skin transfers could not be used. If this was an option, and some item with specific art were to be used by a player, it would be noticeable. Say a banned Kaom's Heart. Since none of this features are in game. Id take a whole different aproach. The one being of just "skills prohibited", since even with mtx's, they are evident. Also an event every weekend with a prize pool payed by the participants. Say a 10ex prize or a legacy item for each. People want to register for an even, play and get rewarded as fast as possible and then go try again. Its 2k18. And a "best of class" i.e. slayer only event or a witch only event is also nice. From my ppov, since there isnt skill involved neither crafting and gear upgrading on this format, i cant seem to get interested eventho im a pvp lover. (from rank13 vanilla wow to 2k arena or d3cl enthusiast) I honestly hope this develops into something great! ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈ ♈

" This is the only problem of this particular concept in my opinion as well. Poe pvp will never be about mechanical game play skill and these rules are sort of implying otherwise. I know that for many the only reason they have played pvp is because of the depth of build designing. The more restrictions there are, the more of that aspect of the game disappears. One could argue that all that is left is the fairly horrible and clunky game play of poe pvp and the nearly non-existant build options. I'll participate in this regardless as long as there is something fun to plan around. |
