One of the main elements in Anarchy Online

PVP Rules

There are quite a few rules in PVP of Anarchy online

  • Gas
  • Flags
  • 50% Rule
  • 40% Rule
  • Level Range

Gas

Each zone has a Suppression Gas setting that decides what you can do in that zone. Messages of Gas status is displayed when zoning or when Gas changes inside a zone.

There are 5 different gas states:

  • 100% Gas - No fighting can be done in zone (Either PvM or PvP)
  • 75% Gas - PvM fighting is alowed and Flagged PvP is alowed aswell, You cannot attack an unflagged player
  • 25% Gas - PvM and PvP is allowed, you can attack anyone exept players from your own Faction
  • 5% Gas - PvM and PvP is allowed, you can attack anyone exept your own orgmates
  • 0% Gas - PvM and PvP is allowed, you can attack anyone

Flags

Flag means that you can be attacked in a 75% Gas zone (player is flagged when he has 2 asterisks on each side of his name)

Flag is a hostile nano and you cannot delete it (15 min flag is terminated on dieing)

There are 2 types of flags:

  • 15 min flag - this flag can be obtained by attacking another player who is flagged for 15 min or by attacking guards in citys. This type of flag is contageous (If players attack you, they will be flagged)
  • 4h flag - this flag can be obtained by attacking towers while your organisation does not own any towers. This type of flag is not contageous (If players attack you, they wont be flagged)

50% Rule

50% Rule means that all your weapons, specials and nanos will do only 50% of damage, they would do in PvM.

This rule cannot be broken.

Example of this rule: your regular hit on a monster is 4602 dmg, therefore your regular hit in pvp (if your opponent has the same AC as the monster) is 2301 dmg

40% Rule

40% Rule menas that no single attack can damage your opponent more than 40% of his full hp (having reflect shiled on you extends it even farther ie. having RRFE (30% reflect) will mean that players can hit you for max of 25% of your hp.

This rule is ignored by few special attacks (such as ENF perk S&D) and nanos (NT deck nukes, introduced in LE)

Example of this rule is: In PvM you can cap your AS hitting for 13k dmg each time. In pvp your opponent only has 8000 hp (and no reflects) therefore if you AS him, your maximum hit will be 3200 dmg and if your opponent had 30% reflect running you would only hit for 2000 dmg

Level Range

You cannot fight any other player you meet, your opponent needs to be in your level range. Pvp range is a bit wider then teaming range. General formula for calculating your pvp range is:

minimum level you can PvP with = your level * 0.8 (ie. level 100 can pvp with lvl 80, but cant pvp with lvl 79)

maximum level you can PvP with = your level / 0.8 (ie. level 100 can pvp with lvl 125, but cant pvp with lvl 126)
