I have a request that I would really like you to consider. I transfered here at the day it opened up for free server transfer, to play with my friends who barely play anymore. And unfortunately all of the big marauders and covenant companies transfered from Icaria to somewhere else at the sane time I did.
I have been playing happily even though everything has been against me, since Syndicate own the entire map and has been for as long as I can remember.
Now I dont want to leave the server, I would just like to change faction since I have no one else to play with in my Faction. At peak hours there might 5-10 lvl 60 Covenants online, which limits the gameplay to basically just farming materials or running invasions.
It sucks to do elite runs as solo covenant, running behind a Syndicate group, with PVP off leeching loot.
I have been basically playing solo since the transfer and have come to accept to run everywhere or Fast travel one zone for 500 Azoth. But now I would just like to be able to progress, please.
I’m in a somewhat similar position. Whole map is purple while only a few marauders are left BUT they can’t change the system. Imagine people could switch to the biggest faction - Every single server would become a pure pve server within a day. Therefore as much as it sucks for you and me being in that position they can’t cange it otherwise the game would completely collapse!
You’re saying that game hasn’t collapsed in my point of view?
I’m not telling them to let everyone change faction, evaluate each case, because there’s still no PVPV on this server.
Factionless would be a great option but I fear would run in the same problem. Within a day or two most pve players would simply go factionless and the pvp players would have an even harder time.
This problem will always exists. PVP players don’t need PVE players to play with. Instead of creating artificial bonuses to lure unwilling PVE players to PVP, they could work on better mechanics to attract new PVP players, a way to bring these players to NW and everyone could be happy:
NW - more sales
PVE players - free from pvp and without differentiation from pvp on rewards
PVP players - more competition and not diminished by PVE grinding.
Those are the results / conditions that need to be fulfilled.
I’ve heared this before in countless other games but it turned out to be wrong! The second you give players the option to go completely pve without any disadvantage there always were only so few people left for pvp that pvp became completely dead that moment. I know pvp players don’t want to hear this but the sad truth is that in mmorpgs pve players don’t need pvp players at all but pvp players always need pve players.
Truthfully man, it could be awhile until they make such a huge change. If you’re really enjoying the game, I suggest making a new character on a larger populated server. Not sure what server you are on, but high populated / competitive servers have the map changed constantly. It will be a commitment, but the second go around on leveling will go significantly quicker than your first time around. We have a few company members who initially transferred to a server that died fairly quickly.
High populated servers have an abundance of pre-60 players, so you won’t feel alone. It will be rough in the beginning, but ultimately I feel you won’t regret it once you get started.
@ApricotScarf I´m not getting a single respond, not even after a whole week. Do you want me to ask for a refund instead of just letting me change faction?
