Tekkit PvP or no PvP?

[knoxcorner]

I plan on opening a server soon, and me and my friend were arguing whether it would be best to have PvP or not with either factions or towny advanced. I wanted to find out the general opinion on PvP, so please post below what you like, PvP on or off, and preferably why.

Some things you may want to consider:

Tekkit provides many types of armor

Gun mod

Losing/gaining territory

Tekkit can be very easy at times

Once you "win," there's not much to do

I personally like no PvP, but couldn't find anything to put here :p

There are a few things to take into account when deciding to implement PvP. I have heard numerous complaints of issues between Towny and Tekkit, so I would suggest you not go that route. The thing about Tekkit is that once someone finds one diamond, 4 redstone, and 4 glowstone they have access to almost anything in the game without doing a whole lot. Depending on how quickly players progress, things will become unbalanced rather quickly. There will be an elite group with control over a lot of the land, and smaller groups without enough power to challenge them. For this reason I tend to say no to PvP on Tekkit servers.

If you want PVP definitely limit them from building super overpowered generators, armors, and if you want factions you have to disable things like quarries and other things that place or destroy blocks. Things you probably should ban:

Another thing to consider is rules of engagement. People will definitely raise major complaints about being killed or raided. Unless you're going for a chaotic type of server. Those tend to be rather easy to maintain since everything is allowed

[ndm250]

Disable EE and ban quantum and PvP/ balancing will be fine. Although everyone will have nano rendering all other armor/weapon type useless. If you want to maintain vanilla style combat ban nano too.

Oh and also allow griefing/ raiding because if you use factions (your only good option) it won't protect other players from accessing metal chests (unless you patch it) and they can steal from machines and advanced tables. It'll be way too challenging to control all that.

[Colindapieman]

I disagree banning of EE, just a lot of the items. Dark matter armor is good for pvp.

So in other words, ban Tekkit.

If you want a PvP server, you are playing the wrong game. The Minecraft combat mechanics are so terrible, that PvP is a joke. All it involves is running, jumping, and spam clicking.

I'm not sure how that really answers the question, but thank you for sharing your opinion on the matter. We value your input.
