Hello, it seems like feedback is actually being read and taken seriously with this game, so I’d like to explain the situation of PvP mode/PvE mode and why I haven’t logged in for about a month now.
So basically, I was playing this game as a crafter. I spent most of my time farming orichalcum and setting myself to craft a bunch of items. Ever since the patch that introduced aptitude chests, pvp mode has been on the decline. The amount of tolvium and cinnabar that you get has made it so most people just turn pvp mode off because the luck bonus is just “not worth it” anymore.
With all that being said, there was 3 days in a row where I logged on to go farm and there are PvE mode players camping the orichalcum nodes. As someone who runs pvp mode, this is the most annoying thing ever. It has created a situation where the only viable way I can compete with these people is to pull mobs onto them and play a mini game of “who can last hit the node better”. It’s terrible. There’s no way this was the intentions of this game.
There was another situation where I actually did run into another pvp mode player, we were fighting over a node and a PvE player ran up and tried to steal the ore while we were fighting over it. We both stopped fighting eachother and started to try to pull mobs onto the PvE player. Nobody wins in this situation. The PvE player doesn’t want that to happen to them, the pvp player doesn’t want to do that, there just isn’t any other option. It’s a real problem for anyone who likes to farm here.
My suggestions to fix this is to either phase pvp and PvE players from eachother. Or to change mining nodes into a personal cooldown timer similar to chests. I don’t really like either of these options but they are both better than what’s happening right now.
Either way, I just thought I’d bring this issue to light since it’s probably not affecting many people. But for people like myself, I just don’t even want to log in anymore. It’s at the point where it’s not about playing the game, it’s about logging in at off peak hours or getting really good at dragging mobs onto other players. It’s just a bad meta, and il definitely start playing again if something is done about it. But for now, it is what it is.
Thanks.
