Cowarding into safezones whilst PVPing

[ArcticTako]

Hi, i'm fairly new to the server and I love classic prison, none of that over powered crap on every other prison server out there. I think the server is amazing but has some things that make me question why it is like that.

This one I am talking about PVP. By PVP I am specifically talking about when you are in combat with another player and you are about to kill him, but then he runs into safezones and lives. (WHY IS THAT A THING?!?!) This shouldn't be allowed. If you have the generic anti pvp log plugin then you should have a setting in the configuration of the plugin where you can enable a wall that goes up when you get hit into combat. The wall is player sides so if you hit someone the wall goes up ONLY for you and the player you hit.

Now people might argue, "But it's unfair if someone is 2v1ing me and I need to run back into PVP" Now yes I get where you're coming from but if they are 2v1ing you then DON'T TRY AND FIGHT! I mean why do you think just because they are 2v1ing you can just run in and out of a safezone? Being able to run into a safezone is just TOO OP.

That is my little rant. Please try to think the suggestion over and tell me your feedback.

And when higher ranks kill lower ranks, then the lower ranks leave and never come back.

Classic prisons have literally always had safezoning believe it or not it's part of the PVP. Not to mention how players constantly losing their stuff would actually lower the amount of PVP astronomically.

Just because it's been here for a long time doesn't make it any good. Also just because people die and lose stuff from pvping doesn't mean anything, that will happen no matter what. Even if they camp because if they truly want to PVP one of them are going to die.

Believe me, this is not something I've considered lightly. I remember being a player and getting frustrated with safezoning and swore that some day I'd disable safezoning if I ever ran a server. I originally intended to disable it but then I looked at it straight and saw it would simply lead to more deaths, rage quits, and while removing some frustration it would not be good for the server.

Pretty sure it's been suggested before, and Geo does have an arena built, do a 1v1 command, so players can pvp without the other safezoning that way if one person dies they can't simply complain and cry once they die as it would be their own fault, granted the thought of gear and how much someone has against the other but blah blah blah

I think having a 1v1 command or a 1v1 arena would help it out a lot so when someone wants to hash it out but doesn't want to be safe zone camped by their opponent or a random nooby they could do a /1v1

We'll consider something like this, we haven't in the past due to it not being in the prison theme.

[/quote] and if you add a command like this i think there should be a cool down so the same people don't always 1v1. also a cool down so people won't spam your chat wanting to pvp.
