How about make a PVP arena already. And im not talking about turning secret passage into pvp area!
Make us a seperate pvp arena. And it can work (just some random thoughts) You can only do pvp in that instance with npc gears provided there by NPC. Also u can only use apos/pots etc there available at the npc. And there can be certain type of modes u can participate in like:
- Free For All.
-Team Battles (sign up @ npc and randomly be selected in a team).
- Mini TW - Defend the base from being inflitrated.
- Entering different maps for pvp arena depending on what type of mode you wanna do. (Similar maps to that ones in Trials Run, or that Chinese wedding temple thing).
That way alot of people can do PVP (even in non pvp servers) for free and fun without using stupid SL OR Buying GS all the time OR losing items!

Most MMO games have a PVP arena, when are you guys going to make one for us?

    No, make open map PvP more rewarding.

    i.e bounty hunter is actually pvp, kill 10 people between [your level] +/- 5 for xp/reward

    It's not pvp without consequences thread. PVP arena are fun and I bet many people would agree with me.

    And no i'm not moving to a PvP server to get full r9 all over again just to kill 60's noobs like you guys do. Learn to read so you know what my threads actually saying.

    That's YOUR server.

    I remember when I turned white name on Sanct at lvl 60. Every 10x there attacked me.

    There was not a single person my level that was white named so every 10x ganked me.

    Sorry, the majority of your server are idiots when it comes to PvP, and there is no lowbie PvP like there is on LC.

    Logging into Sanctuary and walking out West Gate is pretty silly. Nothing like seeing a bunch of 10x's Blue names "Dueling". It's like watching Steve Urkle and Peewee Herman in the octagon, a joke.

    Not as silly as logging into LC server and watching an r9 killing 60x's pretty much. Or seeing an r9 barb doing arma at 20% hp. Or watching an r9 wizard doing BT on r9 barb. Or sins only doing 3 spark shadow jump aps.

    Just because you are from LC server, doesn't mean pvp there is much superior than other servers. Theres limit-less talent in every other server that can give LC pkers run for their money.

    This is what I would like to see:

    A pvp enabled open map (similiar to lothloris). This map should only be able to be accessed through a teleporter slightly east of arch. (So that people can get to it easily, and without making it even more laggy than it is already.)

    This open map should be around the same size as lothloris, and should be complete with water, ground, and air type battles. (This is to make pvp more fun and strategic. Some classes can gain an advantage with clever positioning, or escape easier.

    Multiple Ground Terrain Types: Trees, Hills, Mountains, Canyons, Valleys, Fog, Clear areas, rocky terrain, burnt terrain, lava, ice, deep forest. These may just sound like fancy decoration, but it makes pvp more fun. People can position themselves in more advantageous terrain to fight on. Its not as easy to see a veno in fox form over magma, and that may give the veno the slight advantage needed to win. Same is true for a barb in the snow. My seraphic mist wings aren't as much of a target in the snow as they are over burnt land. Deep forest areas allow people to hide in order to escape, and to ambush as well.

    Have mobs in that area. Sometimes we need to AOE to flush out nearby sins. (Mobs should be ranged from level 1 onwards, and be a mix of ranged, melee, and mage.

    DO NOT HAVE ANY QUESTS IN THAT AREA: Exception should be a quest showing where the npc to teleport there is. This way no one will QQ over not being able to quest.

    Random bosses should roam the areas, and those bosses should be able to attack the cities. (This is not designed to be catshop city, but rather a pvp one.) This also keeps people from camping a particular area because the bosses will come, and AOE them to death. Also, have maybe 5 devastators (from rebirth to roam and attack cities as well.) These should be immune to all damage types, and their design is to keep huge teams of R9's, or otherwise elite gear from still making it unplayable for others by camping the cities regardless of the bosses. There needs to be some air bosses as well. The bosses should all be aggressive types, who...and I'll say it again, will attack the cities fairly often.

    The cities need to safezones from OTHER PLAYERS, and mobs but not from bosses.

    There needs to be quite a few different cities that can be teleported to: Center/NW/SW/NE/SE. This is designed to keep people from camping the less powerful, and making it moreso of a true pvp feel as a pose to a true pvp massacre. The teleporters in this area need to be either free or cheap. Makes it much more fun.

    No XP loss upon death: This makes it more inviting.

    No Drop loss upon death and no gear shattering: This makes it more inviting as well.

    The reason for the no loss is the because it will help make people want to fight here more often. Now, it may seem that you won't make a profit from it that way, but you will. The goal is to give up gratification then to get it down the line:

    People will be more likely to charge for zen to get better equipment, sage/demon skills, level 100 skills, better tomes, etc. They'll be MUCH more likely to do this if their is not a risk of an item that they paid some real life money for dropping from a kill. Since the only other ways are guardian scrolls, binding charms, and safety lock. Safety lock disables the npc, binding charms are bound, with no way to unbind for an efficient price, and even if they were would not be as effective in this scenario, and guardian scrolls take up inventory space. Make the whole area a NO LOSS ZONE. That makes it a more inviting zone, and gives endgame players something more to do, and makes them more likely to keep charging zen for you. You lose the instant gratification of some people charging to get more people to do so with a nice area. (Cast a brick to attract a gem.)

    Death should not automatically kick you back to town: You should be given the same screen options as always. This keeps squads together, and reduces frustration.


    Don't have instances here unless you have a special illusion stone for this area too. The stone needs to be 5k or 10k per instance as well.

    NPC's here should be non aggro-able by bosses, and shoule be able to resist all attacks.

    Everyone is this able should be able to attack, and be attacked.

    Have buff candy like the chrono fragments scattered around as well...both underwater, and on land.

    Have mobs level 150 and mobs level [?] to knock sins and archers out of stealth as well.

    Have aerial bosses that randomly attack cities. Jewelscalems, and ultra immune to damage jewelscalems should also randomly attack the cities. This is designed to be a hostile place, but a fun one as well. The no loss clause keeps down frustration, and makes it for a nice chaotic scene. There should be one air temple though, which is a TRUE safe zone. This option should come up on the death scene here if one dies, and this temple should have everything that one needs...including the ability to teleport back to the main map.

    This instance should not grant good items, or xp for killing mobs. This instance is designed purely for the sweet chaotic killing satisfaction. It has measures of chaos in place to keep people from sieging a particular location, and just killing people that step outside of the safe zone.

    Also, there should be the little bugs right from jungle right outside of the cities, but truly unable to enter. They should also be spread around randomly in the other areas, and be able to be the true one shot killers that they are...whilst being immune to all damage. Their job is to make it so that sins can't stealth kill as easily, and so that even the strongest has to watch out. (Note: The bugs, and damage immune bosses, here should be able to ignore tidal protection...including on my sin too.) Sorry sins, but death is death. There should be water and air varieties as well. These should not be as frequent in the areas further from the city, but should be still there in spots too.

    Height elevation should be fairly good as well.

    Also, the bosses here should respawn quickly, and only drop DQ items. This isn't designed to be an instance for good drops, or even have mobs with good drops. That's what the main map is for. This map is for the chaos and the pvp element. The only exception is that you should still have herbs and material here to farm with your pickaxe. That's it as far as that's concerned though. You're here, and you're here for the battle, and the mobs are here to place a system of justice and to otherwise destroy.


    This is a design to cause a fun pvp feel, more endgame content, more midgame content, and be what pvp is supposed to be moreso like. It also has somewhat of a system of balance as well, as even sins aren't as safe anymore, and have to get used to looking over their shoulders even more. Psys can't just walk around safely anymore.

    Also, ALL CLASSES MOVES SHOULD WORK HERE, INCLUDING KNOCKBACKS, and brambles. (Veno's bramble moves, and demon barbs roars.) Genie knockbacks and other skills should work as well.

    This gives a whole new feel to things, and it would make it more fun. It does not fix the balance, which was broken. The only real way to fix that now is to give older classes the skills, and moves needed to combat the balance breakers. However, it does restore a sense of balance, without going as far as to be an anti sin environment, or an anti psy one. It makes it a keep you on your toes type environment that can easily end in a one shot for even the most elite geared. (It retains the survivability of them and the damage output, but also makes it so that they aren't untouchable either. They can get smoked like everyone else can.)

    This is my idea on it, and one which I like. Hopefully someone will see this, and this idea will come into flourishion.

    I do have a lvl 69 sin that I was going to end-game on your server. I quit because the PvP was a joke. And it wasn't like I was starting out from scratch, I had a couple of friends willing to help me with quite a bit there.

    With the exception of a couple of dozen people whom I just assume are good, I saw evasion barbs dueling mana BMs, bms and sins trying to tank each other's triple sparks... It was pretty horrid.

    But the PvP on Sanct was noticeably better than it was on HT.

    Don't bother all the idiots from LC think they are so much better then anyone else because their name is always white since level 30. I know plenty like cheze that was on dreamweaver that went there. I don't hear them talking smack to him even though he was on a PvE server first. The server is what you make it, and your skills are how much you work at them, the server is irrelevant.
