Time to go back to skill based

It’s so easy to get close to BiS and easier than it should be to get BiS which is now available dirty cheap and you’re still complaining because you are spoiled with participation trophies. Participation trophies are for everyone except winners.

I would argue that winning due to GS/Gear ( “just wearing the team jersey” ) is the participation trophy recipient. Where as winning due to greater skill was the true MVP trophy earners.

You’re biased considering you’re a participation award recipient. You’ve never been in a war, never will, and think you have some skin in this discussion

What does war have to do with it? I never plan on being in the wars cause it’s not my twist, I prefer open world combat on the fly not a giant cluster F you can barely tell whats happening half the time, to each their own of course, but still if you want it to function like that during a war then more power to you, but warring has nothing to do with open world combat it’s a completely different animal.

I think people are mixing stuff,if you want a skill based game just play any moba where you start level 1 and each game restarts. This is a MMO where your gear has to make difference because ITS CALLED MMO. Which part of that hard to understand? MMO’s are about progressing your character with gears,builds to make that difference which requires effort,iq to do that.

If I wanted to play a skill based game I would just play any moba instead of crying in a damn mmo which is gear progressing game.

Only MMOs that are in maintenance mode don’t have any skill-based PvP venues. All of the successful popular MMOs. Have at least one venue for players to test their skill in standardized PvP. So I’m sorry but you are just mistaken that MMOs mean “only Gear matters PvP.” Only extremely niche MMOs go with such design flaws.

I like how having an opinion about something is called “crying” now lol. How about if you don’t have anything constructive to add other than labeling people, go have a coke and smile . . .

Guess GW2 isn’t an MMO either

exactly. the desired perk combinations are difficult as hell to reach/obtain unless youre controlling a territory and making big bucks out of it, or spending your days in the game as if its your job and this situation does affect the outcome more than it should. Sure, they might not matter among casuals or semi-casuals, but it will matter against top tier players. Crafting has been awful for a long while and devs dont seem to care. i believe that a maxed crafter should be able to do whatever gear they want, granted that they have the materials, and some materials should be made more accessible as well.

Easy there keyboard warrior. Flexing those guns is gonna hurt someone, put em away !! D8

If you lose to someone who has just entered the game and has no experience in it, you better retire and delete the game, it’s that simple.

There are 100 thresholds per gypsum, did they really increase them?

No

Some sort of scaling needs to come back, and they need to add a PK status so punks who think they are good playing some meta can get crapped on like they should cause they ride the GS highway :wink: and as much as I like it the roll has to go, it’s super exploited and too easy to do so.

Definitely agree that pvp should be skilled based and not gear dependent.

Maybe even have separate ques for those who just want to PVP on a fair playing field.

So after playing for awhile and working on some GS, I think I have figured out why some like it so much, it gives you epeen. Never have I ever seen so many players think they are good for bashing someone with a low GS. It’s actually kind of laughable. I wonder if one of their monitors is actually a mirror so they can flex each time they kill someone much lower GS than themselves :slight_smile:

i think having perks in pvp shouldnt have happened in the first place. i know this is an mmorpg as well but personally i like people having 100% fair chance. maybe a “pvp only”(which wont work on dungeons or pve arenas) gear pattern in faction vendor where we can choose any perk we want and any stat we want. There is a reason pvp mmos arent a big thing but mobas and shooters/battle royales are, and that should be fixed someway in my opinion.

FACTS! But you get all the select minorities of gamers flocking to these types of PvP MMOs. Just because they give them an unfair advantage, for leveraging their lack of a life, or deep disposable income, or in worst case both in PvP. Which just make the PvP scenes in these types of games very barren and devoid of players, after time progress, and the tryhards and no-lifers consolidate most of the PvP power. All others just drift back to MOBAs, BRs, FPSes, and other genres that give decent PvP to the majority of gamers.
