Can we get a new PvP instance?

Atm, SP would make an awesome PvP instance, but we're not supposed to pk in there.

So can we just have an instance we can fly in, that you don't need to worry about dropping items in, where people can just meet for good old PvP fun?

I know that asking for multiple instances for different level groups is asking for too much, but I feel like mentioning it anyways.


Btw, the PWIC tourny instance would work fine. You don't even have to put any effort into this.


And there's no excuse for not being able to implement this, since Frankie himself said that PWI doesn't need PWE's permission to create PvP content.

    That's basically the same as Theater of Blood, you go in, and get owned by the higher lvls b:sweat

    The theater is stupid for a couple reasons.

    1) you have to gather items and try to hold on to them. That's not PvP, that's keep away.

    2) it only takes place once per week during a small time slot.

    I want the instance to always be open. People can come and go as they please whenever they're interested in PvPing.

    His other point still stands, though.

    As for a solution, they could just open the regular arena.

    Well, from reading Kritty's posts on the current SP bug, it's because they are actually developing two new PvP arenas. They got the code screwed up and applied the settings for the arena to the regular SP accidentally.

    So basically, they are already working on it and it will be out as soon as they finish ironing out half the bugs.

    New PvP instance? How about the 100 VS 100 guild base instance that was just implemented on PW-CN, and will be in our version in 5-8 months?

    ^ +1 yes, we got the shaft again. Supposedly they are working on a new instance for the guild base, (which was also mentioned before bases came out, was some new daily leveling quest area or something. Veno's were supposed to love it for leveling pets specifically.)
    But they aren't saying anything till they "get it worked out" so as not to get our hopes up and then kick us in the face like they did with the base wars. I was really looking forward to the new 40x40 TW system.

    I believe the policy has been changed so that you are allowed to pk in SP but are not allowed to harass lower levels doing quests (I think this applies to people doing BH29 as well).

    The original 40vs40 base wars have been cancelled but there is a new PVE 100-raid instance with faction bases in the chinese patch. I believe they mention killing monsters.


    EDIT here is the link to the PVE 100 man raid..

    http://w2i.wanmei.com/news/bulletin/20110901/61944.shtml

    Google translate quote
    Large-scale copy of gang - the ten days Luo front opening, this copy of a total of nine points, which can accommodate one hundred players participating in the gang challenge. Base with gang gang, officials can be recruited more open dialogue with the gang Explorer copy. Character level 80 or more gang meritorious value of more than 2000 players can enter the copy, feel better than ever before extraordinary experience.

    In order to make it easier for players to challenge gang copy of "divine intervention" the gospel of the brave "task on. Players in possession of gang iris at the base of NPC to receive the mission was a "God bless" state, the use of skills in this state can cause great harm to the enemy (the state after the disappearance of a copy).

    It sounds like PVE..

    Please tell me that hasn't been officially stated b:sad

    So are they going to give us any kind of substitute for 40v40 GBWs? You know, since that was the biggest selling point of them to begin with...

    Not really sure how much authority Kritty has on the matter but he said he heard it straight from PWE.

    I believe they intend to use the 100-person PvE raid instance to make up for the fact that GBWs were not developed. Don't quote me on that, though, but frankieraye did say that something "big" was in the works that would take the place of 40v40 GBWs.

    I wouldn't post anything that would get others in trouble, trust me.b:chuckle

    And I heard it straight from crabclaw, the admin who is working the forums while frankie is away.

    yes u are correcto.

    remember that this is a eastern styled game. almost all MMOs in the east are pure grind or pve fests becaust thats just how asian folks do things. over here in the west we are more pvp oriented, but since the devs are in the east and catering to a eastern crowd they dont really give a **** about what the west wants.

    it would also explain why this game doesnt have any GOOD pvp content other then TW. but its not just game. ive experience that with many MMOs that have korean/chinese developers. so the only way this game will get some decent/good pvp content is if western developers take over which is not going to happen

    lol, didn't you know, you can make yourself with named and PK whenever you wantb:thanks

    Just sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it too, want the PK but don't want the risk of dropping items. Dragon Temple is PK too, as is TW, and also world map. How many more PK instances do you need?

    First of all, there is no risk of dropping items if you know anything. Between SL and GS, you should never drop anything...

    Second of all, open world PK isn't an instance. And the current issue is that people are too spread out in different PK hotspots. With an instance, we'd have a central place to go and not need to go through the trouble of relogging for SL.
