    Unhappy PVP Arena

    Whenever I've been playing in the PVP arena, I've noticed that a lot of the time people will camp the entrance with Knockback words or Punch bows, then they only need to hit you once and you fall in the lava and die.

    I think this is a problem because some people seem to use it as a tactic which is a very unfair advantage. My suggestion would be to change it to a ring of fire, or just remove the lava from right in front of the entrances. Hopefully this idea will be supported because i think it'd make for a more fair fight.

    If they do it tell the staff it or make screenshots because you not allowed to attack people from outside the pvp arena

    He's not talking about people attacking from outside the arena, he's just talking about people camping in front of the gate (inside the arena) that knock you into lava when you try and walk into the arena.

    You should be able to avoid campers like these quite easily by using the tp pads to the left/right of the gates (unless it's a 4 man team camping at every gate, but I don't think that really happens). If other players also have this issue we could change it though

    Imo it shouldn't be lava or fire, as you can permanantly lose stuff in it, which is annoying (people that are losing a fight even tend to jump in it just to make sure you get nothing.)

    My suggestion is to make it a pressure pad ring that activates dispensers with infinite arrows. It damages people like lava would but is not instant death/ loot doesn't disappear.

    PS: Doesn't this belong here? : http://forums.slapgaming.com/forumdi...nd-Suggestions

    Well for now I'll keep an eye out for people using this to their advantage, and i can try get some proof of it one way or another, failing that i'll just bring this topic up again giving you my word that I've seen it happening again lol.

    I have noticed this happen a few times again, with players standing in the centre, hitting players as they walk through the back with punch bows, it really is kind of a suckish tactic. I find this hard to get proof of though i have tried printscreening it but haven't had much luck as it's a tricky one to catch, as you often don't know its going to happen until you burn to death.

    Also when pvping with horsegal she knocked me into the lava and I lost all of my gear when we were supposed to be doing givebacks, so i then didn't get any of the stuff I was expecting back, so I really dislike the lava right now, but thats not my reason for posting this i'm just trying to make you aware of how problematic it can be.

    I've had the same issue with loving armour in the lava. I feel like it would ruin the theme a bit, but wouldn't water do the trick. No broken items or player damage, but it will slow you down if you were to fall in.

    Might I also suggest you just drink a Fire Resistance potion? Those always do the trick for me

    Water would be good, it'd also somewhat trap players to give others an advantage, but no one would lose their stuff and wouldn't be an unfair advantage :3
