Recently I have been fighting the gaia II a lot, I now have all the artifacts. One item that I was most curious about was the "Key of the King's Law" so I tried it out on my friend. It turns out the explosions it creates surpass the PvP protection (both /pvp and with empty inventory).
explosions always pvp bypass, but if you see someone abuse it report them, i'd rather not have the item banned as that same logic is "we need to ban the draconic reactor/whatever else uses explosions b/c can kill them as pvp"
Known issue, usually will not be banned as chugga_fan states until it becomes an issue of people abusing it.
This is a known 'issue.' There is no way to really prevent people from taking damage with this item. Our course of action would be to ban it. We pride ourselves at not banning every single item that bypasses PvP as it would take out a lot of cool items from the game. If this were the case, there would be a lot more items on the ban list. Until this becomes a huge issue, then we will have to ban it. I thank you for at least reporting this though! I am going to mark this as done as there is no need to take further action.
