when the difference in IL is more than 1k, blue battlescarrred gear is useless. Green battlescarred is worse than useless. No one is looking for a guaranteed win. Well, no one that isn't BiS, in a PvP guild is looking for a guaranteed win. Most players are looking for a chance at a fair fight. If you check out the forums,…
I can't speak as to whether the look of the armor was changed @ somepoint, cuz I never had a set. BUT, If you saw it on another toon & it looked different than the preview, that could be because they had also thought that it looked to cheesy & changed the appearance.
The idea that friends of the same class can't play with each other has come up a couple times now. I don't think this is a good argument. Every account comes with 2 free character slots. The majority of players have purchased additional slots for farming alts. Unless an account is set up specifically to test the…
So it's okay for your 3k - 4k IL's to pound my 2.5 IL into the ground.... but when I go after the newb your team is carrying thru to BIS, I'm the Hamster?
When the pilot makes a left turn over Albuquerque, & the plane ends up in Guatamala instead of Ontario... you have a right to complain. Everyone on board has a right to complain. Sending the CEO of the airline an e-mail asking the pilot to be fired is not entirely out of bounds. Sending the CEO of the airline an e-mail…
The way that some guilds operate, if there were a mechanism to single out one other player, it WOULD be used as a weapon. I would prefer a scenario like the the leaver's penalty. If you leave a gift group without drpopping any, 24 hour ban on gift groups. 36 hours for second offence. 3rd strike disqualifies you for the…
You do know that the Mods are allowed to have their own opinions, right? As for why they created PvP in the first place... ".. and btw pvp is a big thing among mmorpg!! " That's why. The beta version didn't have a PvP element. They were "forced" to add one on, because you can't have a mmorpg without it.
Is it impossible to grind out BIS? No. If you play 4 -6 hours per day, you might be able to do it in 6 - 9 months. Of course, if you have a job, or school, or friends & family you would like to spend time with... it takes longer. Lots longer, and saying it's available to everyone, doesn't make it right to exclude any…
In PVE, BIS is a marker of the toons progress, yes. In PvP, not so much. If PvP had a working matchmaking system, BIS would not mean much... but that is not the case. It is not only possible, but very likely that BIS & non-BIS toons will be playing with & against each other. I for one DO care very much how difficult it is…
HR's are in the same boat with the TR's & GWF's... they are specialists. Other players love to complain about the ONE thing theses classes are good at, while completely ignoring the fact that if you remove that one thing, there is almost nothing left. This is how Cryptic has approached class balance for years; and that is…
I disagree that warborn is the answer. I did eventually get 3/4 warborn pieces for one of my toons. It does make a difference. Now instead of getting one-shot by everything that moves on a premades team (even DC's & pallys :/ ) I can stand & fight for about 30 seconds.... until I get stunned & killed with 2 - 3 hits. The…
Perhaps if Lancer would ask them to do things that are good for PvP, instead of asking for things that are good for Lancer, they would pay more attention.
The pugs don't put up a fight because we CAN'T fight back. The gear gap is too severe. When I face a premade, I run to node 2 with the rest of my team & get one-shot. Then I res & do it again. Rinse & repeat a few times. After one of the opposing team takes our home node we all go after the one guy sitting there. By the…
I am a pug player. Outside of the solo-queue events, when I get matched with a premade team I can easily get one-shot two or three times before someone calls "GG." Since a ingle premade team player can hold a node against a whole team, that is 10 - 15 kills. A match between relatively matched teams might last 10 - 15…
Yes. Because during that 30 seconds the premade group gets 10 - 15 kills and risks zero deaths. & at the end of the match they still get top tier rewards. If they run against another premade group, they have a 50-50 chance of losing.
Okay, full disclosure, I did not say ".... that's why you should progress as far as you can in PvE befor entering PvP. " That was @nickjdowe , but something went wrong when I tried to quote one line from his post. Sorry for the confusion. Personally, I do not think that PvP should be reserved for only end-game players, or…
The reason for this is not because of the difficulty of the skirmish, but because you have to have wiggle room. Many Tiamat runs lose up to 1/2 their population after the first cycle. You need a group of beasts to finish the run when the leavers rage quit.
