Well, I’m writting this topic in order to make devs aware of PVP players’ feeling right now, I think that I might be writing for many other players which came to this game because it was a supossed PVP FOCUSED GAME.
I have played more than 700 hours SOLO PLAY, when the game started I got many enjoyable open world pvp situations 1vX, I didn’t rushed lvl 60, so I enjoyed the leveling pretty much with a decent amount of pvp. After the first month the pvp flagged players was dropping considerably, almost everybody was just grinding minerals in order to get some decent equipment for pvp I supossed, now after 3 months If I got lucky I can find another player pvp flagged a day, If I got more lucky, that player is willing to PVP and not run kms until he reaches a sanctuary to unflag.
This said, I feel like PVP don’t exist in this PVP focused game, PVP is totally DEAD.
Some players will tell me “If you want pvp play outpost rush” in which I respond, that is not an PVP arena, that is a objective based arena, like a moba but with more players which almost always won’t coordinate to win the arena, because most of them are hungry for real PVP. So, the focus of this arena is to win through objectives control and if you don’t take or control the objectives, which is boring because if you like to win, you have to farm, wait in positions, kill mobs to get azoth, etcetera, you will lose the arena. If I wanted to play a moba I can actually play LoL or Dota 2.
What about wars? Wars are like the same that above, but as a solo player you almost never got invited to a war. In my few experiences of going to a war I felt like a ZERG, because there is usually one player making calls which feels like being a minion of a Real Time Strategy game, you can’t behave personally otherwise you will lose the war and your personal skill almost doesn’t matter at all. If I want to play a RTS game I rather play starcraft, w3 or anything else.
Well, how the game feels for me right now? it feels like a Grinding game, because now that i’m equipped with adequate PVP perks on my equip the only thing that I can do is to FARM FARM FARM in order to reach the 500K gold cap and hoping to see some real pvp in the game before that happens, otherwise, when I hit 500K gold cap and I don’t see any enjoyable or real pvp experience the game will be dead for me.
There are many players giving feedback in order to make this game great, and if you ignore them you will keep bleeding players until death.
One idea which I consider extremely necessary right now is to add Ranked PVP arenas. 1v1 - 2v2 - 3v3 which can be server crossed or not. Simple and extremely efficient.
Second Idea, is to reinforce pvp through adding a coin reward for killing any pvp flagged player, same as the actual system for pvp kill reward but with some coin which split between player which damaged the objective. I think between 200 and 500 coin could be a great number to start.
Third Idea is pvp dedicated server, in which players are ALWAYS pvp flagged, no options.
Fourth Idea is another arena which seems to be more pvp enjoyable than outpost rush and will make pvp players pretty happy. Teams of 5, 4, 3, 2, or solo. Battle Royale, in which high skill competitive players will enjoy their pvp skills more than a Moba like arena or RTS arena.
I hope that devs don’t only see this post, but the many other post of players literally screaming for PVP content in a PVP focused game.
Thanks for reading, and in order to clarify i’m not an native english speaker, you might find many grammatical errors.
Hey!
Join a company. Become NOT a solo player, that way you can get into Wars more often. Also if you still have a xfer token, use it to go to a high pop server. I play on Eden and there are people flagged everywhere! Really depends on the server buddy. There are def pvpers out there!
How can a company solve all those problems?, please elaborate a little your answer.
Bro, we all pvpers have given up this game almost 2 months ago… 300 hrs september+october, 100 november 0 since 10th november… The game is broken and unfun. And yes, you are right but its all pointless to solve because the game is BROKEN with broken game engine which lags and causes unpatchable delay and desync.
This wasn’t marketed as a PVP game. It’s at best a PVE/PVP hybrid game. And it’s more PVE then PVP.
Why did you buy the game when you knew it didn’t have ranked PVP matches? Why did you buy the game when you knew company’s control territories not solo players?
Everything your complaining about you should of known just based off all the info available from the Beta. All you had to do was just smidge of research and you would of known the game wasn’t for you.
I don’t know about you but I actually research a game before I put my money down…
That being said if your patient I’m sure some of the PVP features your asking for will be released. But to throw the game under the bus because it doesn’t have features you apparently simply assumed that it would is kind of a you issue isn’t it?
Another reason why you are not getting pvp is also the way the gear system works. People flagg for pvp becaue it nets them a bit more of luck twords farming. heh. well if you are farming you are not in pvp gear so thus you get creamed when a geared player stops by to send you to your camp/and or town. then that player unflaggs beacuse they dont want to waste more time running back out. as well as cost of gear broken.
some fixes would be add a few tabs to gear for each type of craft/each type of gathering. make them not armor or stat based in the sence of armoring gear. but with just stats and perks that pertain to crafting and gathering. Make them only apply the perks when the actions are being used. Lower the cost of repair kits. Take away the ability to just Repair in UI. Add Slow degradation to gear meaning after so many repairs not repair able any more. this adds more value to gear. When i say slow tho i mean that. Not like many games where you die 3 times and its so outrageous to repair only to lose them from constant getting killed when gathering. OFc the fix to weapon swapping and skill swapping will help this too. Add More reason to fight in open world. yea Resources are a good reason but There needs to be a Reason for factions to Flagg up more then just, Luck.
Some things could be Outpost in regions give a small 2% bonus to portal drop rate, or maybe spawn named bosses from these portals. Maybe a bump in rare Mats from gathering in areas from control of small outposts. I am talking like a spot that is similar in size of a recall shrine that you can hold and it has a radius of say like 100 meters. Maybe have special Outpost guards you have to over come to take the holding spot then hold it for a time befor you or your group can hold it. These can be placed in contentious areas that have good resources, or maybe a open cave or something like that. There is so many ways to make open world pvp better. and draw players in. I know time is limited and resources are limited. There is no need to add new Content for this, it should be things that are already in the game now that would take just some system added to get it going. maybe systems in the game already and they just need to be hooked up.
I play PVE on new world have stayed away from PVP so far, but have played plenty of PVP games.
An arena where you can go to compete in PVP is a great Idea. You could have 1 v 1 and team battle s as you said. I would also add that these arenas should have leaderboards for most wins , monthly, yearly and eventually of all time.
Something that could be done now is leaderboards for dungeons. Most passes and quickest times . Weekly/monthly rewards for those that finish in the top 100.
As a PVE player I’m happy with the game as it is at the moment but if these ideas help to keep PVP players and enrich the games overall experience I think they are well worth thinking about if they have not already.
I didn’t assumed anything before buying the game, I buy the game to play it and test it by my own, i’m not asking for a refund, money was never an issue here.
I think the game is good, the pvp mechanics are really great. But there is nowhere to enjoy the great mechanics that the game has, and that is a BIG issue. I’m not throwing the game under any bus, actually all what I am saying is because amazon can make a Masterpiece here. Pubg had a chance and drop it and fortnite took that oportunity and now is one of the most played games ever, and almost nobody knows pubg. I don’t want that to happen to this game, I want this game to be a great masterpiece that can last for decades.
Do you think if they removed the repair costs associated with death there may be more people willing to do open world pvp?
honestly i see what your getting at. this game had potential in alpha but then alot of bad decisions happened and now its trying to be everything at once and just ended up beeing bad at everything instead.
dont waste your time, it wont get better. if you´re looking for advice i´d suggest looking at a game that focuses on what you want to do. if its arena pvp you´re after there is plenty mainstream games that fill that desire. WoW, GW2, SWTOR just to name a few. if its open world pvp you´re looking for then maybe ESO or a sandbox game like albion, BDO or MO2 will suite you.
this game will never be it.
Gear you’re wearing breaking when you die is fine. Unequipped gear in your bags breaking when you die is bs.
The problem is as long as they keep having desync and lag issues and the like, it doesn’t matter what kind of game it is, nobody’s going to want to play it because they’re paying for a busted-ass product.
