Imagine grinding to be ahead of the pack, doing so… reaching level 40 with syndicate weapons and the company you are in puts in over a half dozen level 24-28 level players over you: even after you express grievances over the issue. This will often be the case in such a poorly structured pvp experience.
Now i have played open world pvp for over 20 years (currently play both eso (former emperor) and planetside2 (and often ‘godlike’). What myself and many gamers like me are not willing to do is brown-nose for war positioning. As you can see i am a Big fan of tri-faction mass pvp, and i am enjoyably good a it. However, there is no way i am leaving my pvp (and war is the main pvp event in this game) experience up to any individual company leader.
In fact i find the idea absurd for this type of pvp, and guaranteed, will result in a great number of dissatisfied players, and ultimately leading to a mass exodus (leaving only fan-bois holding hands and singing kumbaya… because there will be no pvp to speak of at that point). This modality must change in order to retain a decent player base for this type of tri-faction pvp to function.
In addition, the company that holds territory, has waaaay to much time to recover and prepare for war. They are ‘king of the hill’ they should be made to defend and defend waaaay more often. instead of war every day or two LMAO, it should be every few hours (ok maybe not quite that frequent but point made) that war can be declared on a territory to force the holding faction to continue to defend until they begin running out of resources (ie pots food etc) or until they just don’t have the player base to continue holding the line. This type of scenario will prevent ‘fat-cat’ outfits from just sitting on territory for the games entire existence.
Otherwise the environment and graphics are tops and my leveling experience has been allot of fun and i really like the skill-based action combat and attaching that system to weapons is a refreshing approach.
However in its current state (of pvp War) i will not play this game much longer, outpost rush is just not enough and is not really mass pvp, which is what i am after.
Oh and by the way, Amazon, if you need any further money making advise regarding any aspect of mmo or mass pvp player experience, i am open to negotiations. Good luck!
… anyone for Kumbaya real quick?
