[Suggestion] Pvp map/room free for all

[martonvb]

Tell me if this already exists and I just completely missed it but as a PvP oriented player, I find it really frustrating that there’s only pvp during certain times. And if you can’t play at those times you are pretty much done.

Right now i’m confined to asking random people to duel while 90% of the time it comes across as kind of a douche move, and not many people are interested in the whole pvp thing. (It might be because there’s not much to do pvp wise outside of certain hours.)

My suggestion would be to create a room/map where it’s free for all. (Kind of like the pvp rooms on Ragnarok, even though we dont want to compare the games)

No requirements, no rules, just pvp. Can’t hold your own in a pvp room? Get better! Level up! I used to love this about the pvp rooms, they made me motivated to lvl up and get gears, because im not much into pve.

The current pvp can still stay as a ranking system, the free-for-all can serve as a practice room/off-time room for people who want to pvp but there’s no event going on.

Is there something like this? Is it something people would want?

It doesn’t exist, it was suggest once, I think i did too, even tho I’m not into PvP.

I said something like and Arena in the city that when you enter in the boundaries, you get flagged for PvP combat.

they could make the pointless spots on the maps pvp grounds (allow attack from players)

you know all those empty areas where you need a space stone to enter…

or make a new map in Orsha town like how klaipeda has rooms for the Master NPCs, but just make that map be for PVP instead…

[Nirimetus]

The first suggestion I don’t think it is good, that way, whoever is doing hidden class quests would be screwed.

The second one is good, there are some buildings in the cities that could act as an underground arena.

[_DrRM_]

Right, I forgot hidden quests and guild towers now that I remember…

+1

and make it bigger than the actual arena would be even better.
I’m too a PvP freak myself, so i support this idea as well.

inb4 go play MOBAs lel comments tho.

Inb4 Go play a MoBA for real PvP

[Anorexic_Cow]

hey now, that’s my line.

[fatedhour]

True but i also find it annoying since MoBA and mmorpg PvP are completely different. Ppl who play Lol wouldnt play this game and vice versa.

[martonvb]

As it stands now, pvp is too limited, and therefore really unbalanced. Because pvp only occurs at certain hours, people who CAN and WANT to pvp, are miles ahead in experience/build/gears compared to people who love pvp, but can’t play 70% of the time because they are not online at those hours.

If there is a healthy pvp area for people to go to if they want to brawl, more people would get into pvp and create certain builds for it. Right now, if you join pvp, 3 things can happen;

1: You join and find yourself matched with a decent team vs a decent team and its a really fun, close match. ( This is 10% of the time)

2: You join and find yourself matched with someone on your team with no pvp build, and within 3seconds, you are forced to 1v2

3: You join the match and find your team-mate is really low level and inexperienced in the whole matter. (This means, lack of needed abillity’s, i know they scale to lvl) This isn’t a HUGE deal, but those people get destroyed and then give up on the whole thing.

[ZeroFoxGiven]

Nah, PVP in this game is currently trash anyways and that’s coming from me who used to actually play this game primarily for PVP.

The stupid randomness of matchmaking in TBL doesn’t even matter anymore. It’s become about whoever has lv.10 transcendence, slotted lv.8 gems, +15 gear, rental accessories, insta-heal potions, etc.

I can understand removing gear standardization was to reward players who “worked hard” (whatever that may mean for each since we all know RMT and whaling is also nothing new in this game) to acquire their uber gears, but they introduced the above mentioned changes that really turned things the opposite way instead.

It’s almost no longer involving strategy.

PVP in this game has become a joke. If you really want to do it, do it for fun and don’t take it seriously unless you’re willing to make it almost a regular job or spend money from your RL job on it.

Being filthy rich might be an exception.

[fatedhour]

Those ppl shouldnt be doing 2v2 to begin with.

[martonvb]

I don’t agree that they should have gear standardization, this is something that adds to the work. If you want to pvp, you should be able to. If you lose, you should work harder to gain the gear that you need. This is something I really liked in RO and they should not take that aspect of the game away. If they do that, they can just give us max lvl characters with standardized gear that can only login to pvp enviroments and let us play like that.

Its part of the pvp experience that u have to work for the gear in order to beat the people you lost to a few weeks before.

This is about being able to pvp whenever u feel like it and not certain hours. Its not really about the way the gearing works.

If they balanced the whole game, maybe. but as of right now there’s clear winners when stacked with similar gears, and it’s not like rock paper scissors, and even if it were like that it isn’t clear at all who is rock, who paper. Gear blurs the line and brings the worst aspects of this game pvp to shine: the lack of any pvp balance.

Right now pvp in this game is just for the lulz, or if you’re like me. to get a panda. sure gear is important and all, but when there’s a disparity of atleast a year or a lot of money invested between the same builds, you might want to reconsider.

It’s no fun entering TBL just to be cata rushed by someone with trans 10 weapon, are there ways to counter that? yes. is it easy? hell no that cata isn’t alone.

With the current state standard gear is not that bad of a solution, but the problem lies in the whole design, and they’ll sure take a while to do some balancing, but the worst thing is: they don’t separate pve and pvp in many scenarios, just some.
