PVP Question

[Defcon]

Hey all. Im relatively new to both Entropia and to these forums. My avatar hasnt got very high skills yet obviously and so it would seem strange that im posting in the PVP section where only the top leveled players would participate. However i have a question and i hope it hasnt already been answered somewhere else incase i get flamed but here goes.

I was wondering does character build offer any advantage/disadvantage to pkers? Im asking in the hope that one day i might be good enough to participate in pk. But in terms of character build, is it an advantage to have a smaller avatar so that your visual is smaller and possibly harder to hit than a person who makes their avatar as chunky as possible? Thanks in advance!

i haven't noticed any difference shooting at a small or a big ava.

you see a green dot, you turn that way, search for the ava untill
you find it, click at it as you can do with mobs, and shoot.

yeah, the radar takes away any advantage that might be gained from being smaller ... im pretty sure being small won't make you harder to hit, but would make you harder to spot if it wasn't for the green dot

Ok thanks for responding. I suppose i wont bother changing my ava then.

BUT a giant ava is much easier to see at range than a dwarf ava

Thats what i thought to. But i wasnt sure if the way Entropian targeting is set and whether it makes all sizes equal or not. Visually it would give an advantage but i suppose the point of asking was to find out how much of an advantage. Like has anyone ever found it noticeably easier to hit a larger av than a smaller av in a duel?

well before Landgrab i was with warants and we all got shrunk by skalman prior to battle, i think it helps but dont know for sure

I wish all those dwarf avatars to have some limits in number of items and weight they can carry SMALLER that normal one, I'm sick to see ubers with imp/mod fap , uber armor with such a smaller avatar, it is look childish for me, they have a gun/fap biger that their ava , lol, just make me sick how far some ppl are going just for gaining some little advantage.
