#iron and diamond swords can easily overpower people in leather armor

[sympathytea]

im also extremely curious on where they'll go with it too

The thing in pvpciv that I’m most interested in is the guards tbh. Like… they live in a totally different type of society than the swords. What are their lives like?? I KNOW they will explain all of this EVENTUALLY. (Gives me hope we’ll see the guard friend more haha).

Like, in parkour civilization, the guys who had jobs were explained, and they were just regular guys like Evbo, doing jobs. But the guards in pvp civilization? When Evbo upgraded to a stone sword, I was really expecting a similar situation to parkour civilization where he sees people getting jobs. But no. Swords don’t seem to have any way of becoming guards.

In fact, the guards don’t even have swords. They have shields. I’m guessing their lives are tied to their shields instead of their swords, but you can’t upgrade shields, so in order to rank up you upgrade your HELMET by breaking it.

It all kind of makes sense to me? In pvp civilization, swords rank up by dealing hits, while shields rank up by taking hits. But like seriously, what are their lives like? Why are the 1v1s a thing? I can understand the daily hits, since the guards want their helmets to break, but 1v1s don’t really benefit them, it only really benefits the swords, so they can get their wins. (Also means it’s bad for the swords haha). Also what’s up with buying guard protection? Did the guards start selling their services or is whoever is in charge making them do that? Cuz if it were totally up to the guards, they would surely rather be paid directly than hoping for tips after the swords buy from the armor stand.

And most importantly… WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE GUARDS RANK UP. There’s clearly no golden guards, I think we’ll have to wait to be sure if there’s diamond guards or not, and are there iron guards I genuinely don’t remember cuz this isn’t meant to be a theory post just me rambling after watching everything only once like yesterday or the day before idk. Even aside from the ranks themselves, the guards ranking up isn’t automatic, I’m guessing they kind of have a red gate as well that can only open if they aren’t wearing a helmet? And then when they pass through they get their new helmet. WAIT. Why do they even WANT to upgrade? Wouldn’t more durability be WORSE? I NEED to know what happens in guard society to make them want to rank up. The stone guards just have dyed leather helmets so they don’t even have extra durability to be fair. Also is the rest of their armor unbreakable? Idk.

I’m just augh endlessly curious about the guards of pvp civilization.
