“Changing this mechanic will not prevent blues from interfering in VvV conflicts, as there are other methods of flagging one VvV character. When a VvV member casts a field or does any area effect, a grey can flag on this then run off and hide until blue and return and be free to attack that one individual while they are engaged in VvV combat”
Truly the color flagging system should be scrapped entirely
“it is up to the players to take the fight to an active vvv town, where there is a working mechanic to prevent non vvv members from interfering”
VvV combat should be permitted in trammel. Then blues cannot interfere.
the dev should fix this mess longtime ago .non-vvv should not be able to go orange or enter in any vvv town.
I have an idea, don't flag me and I won't do that. I think we need to allow solo player back in the game. Let's go back to attacking don't turn you orange at all if they flagged you. That's fair and let's solo players play again.
Also, casting walls in pvp areas should flag you and dispelling pixies, daemons..should also flag them to you.
Seriously, getting rid of reds has prevented all solo play..we keep telling you guys over the years but you never fix it..remove pardons and give reasons to be red again.
While the obsolete color system is broken and should be scrapped I'd suggest compared to scripting and third party clients it's the least of the pvp issues
UO is, has been, & will always be multiplayer. This will never change. If you chose to fight alone you do so at your own peril. There is strength in numbers. Accept this fact, adapt to this reality or find another game.
Yes, the current system could use changes. Blocking ToS illegal 3rd pps would arguably be most significant move to level UO’s playing field or simply allow 3rd pps. Shamefully, Management is either unable or unwilling to make a stand on either side.
Restrictions to force solo play styles will never benefit the game, will never be acceptable to most players, & go against a fundamental idea which UO is based upon - the freedom to play your game as you wish.
all that has to be done is make sure the orange flag doesnt remove the murder system. If a blue flags orange to you and kills you they should be able to counted like normal. flagging orange should not skip the murder system.
This is a legitimate complaint.
