Level-Based PvP Protection System

Level-Based PvP Protection System

Main Idea​

I’d like to suggest adding a level differentiation PvP protection system where high-level players deal reduced damage to low-level players. This keeps PvP enabled while preventing unfair fights.

The Problem​

Currently, new or low-level players are at a heavy disadvantage:

• Weak gear and enchants
• Low PvP experience
• Low stats and survivability

As a result:

• High-level players can farm them easily
• New players die repeatedly right after joining
• Many quit early due to frustration
• PvP becomes one-sided instead of skill-based

This hurts player retention and makes the server feel unfriendly to beginners.

The Suggestion​

Introduce damage reduction based on level gap.


Example system:

• Level 30+ attacking below 30 → 50% damage
• Level 40+ attacking below 20 → 35% damage
• Level 50+ attacking below 15 → 25% damage
• Similar levels (±5) → Normal damage

Advanced scaling option:
Damage = Base Damage × (Victim Level ÷ Attacker Level)


This automatically balances large power gaps.

Tips / Anti-Abuse​

To prevent misuse:

• Protection disables if low-level player uses high-tier gear or strong enchants
• Only applies for first 5–10 hours of playtime OR until level 30
• Disabled in duels, events like Outpost or KOTH

Expected Benefits​

• New players survive longer
• Less rage quitting
• Fairer PvP
• Less toxic kill farming
• Stronger long-term player base

This keeps PvP competitive without removing it.



I'm asking people if this works or not. If it does, I'll suggest it to the server.

Don't ask players directly suggest even if you got 100 postive or negative votes it doesn't matter if devs want they will add it btw according to me there is a high chance that it would be denied.

As there is no downside to a suggestion getting denied, you might as well just make this one instead of asking first. If it's something you want to see implemented in the game, go ahead and ask away as an official suggestion, since that is the only way for it to be added.

I just realised this is really bad Idea because some players have just 0 level and have maxed out prot 6 gear like me so it would be so unfair people will just abuse it.

It is good only for new players but as PikaNetwork community is so...

So they will just use to get benifits.
