as much as I would ♥ to see an addition to increase PvP activity, IMO it would be better to 1st take care of the OP skills, especially composing since they have greatly (negatively) affected PvP (PvP Ladder, BB, ....) & GvG !!!

 

As we've stated, we are happy with Composing as it is. Please do not derail this topic.

I remember the poll on seasons, it was keeps this one or revert back.

 

Strange as it might be to believe, I voted to keep it because I saw promise in it. 

 

Not something I would take part in but promise none the less.

 

I think a few more adjustments with a little more player input and the player base MIGHT have liked it.

 

there were issues with seasons, just as there are with many other updates

 

the biggest being an issue with XP loss in PvP, which was fixed but the damage was done

 

IMO not enough time was spent fixing the issues and letting players grow to enjoy seasons as (what was sold to us as) a permanent change to the game

 

an error to only have had 2 options to the poll, yes or no, when many simply wanted to have the problems fixed

As I remember the extreme experience loss of seasons could be taken care of with a ticket to support.

 

I also remember they flipped and opt-out in there during the run time.

 

They were making changes on the fly as things came up, but it still had promise.

 

It reverted way to fast for things to shake out, it could have used more time to let the dust settle.

 

Hunting was impossible during seasons, I had PvP protection in place and so just sat back and watched: Player, the home page, the shout box and here, mending when I needed to.

if i remember correctly:

 

after seasons was started as a permanent change to the game; when someone attacked you they were, some hour(s) or so in the future, automatically put on the bounty board  

 

during the time before they were on the board you could put up extra gold, for the bounty hunters to collect

 

if you paid the max amount they were almost guaranteed a loss of 2 levels, very convenient for the average player

 

i remember the bounty board having some dozen pages at times

It'll take a bit of work to make them work as a new feature, but I just want to be sure that we get it right with the input from the community. PvP has always been quite a contentious topic so I'd like to hear peoples thoughts on how they'd like to see it work as a global event.

 

Input from the community is dwindling because of a lack of evidence that the input actually leads to anything getting done in the game...

 

A few years ago I would have taken some time to really think this through and give some input, but I don't like wasting my time...

 

After seasons ended there was a lot of input on how to incorporate it as a global event that was obviously forgotten or ignored so whats the hope that anything here wouldn't be as well?

Watch out your post is just going to be deleted or your entire thread for trying to get an answer >.>

I know epicpiety posted a thread last night was looking forward to reading it this morning but it got deleted.

maybe a re-introduction of what seasons was, to re-acquaint those that have forgotten, as well as those that have started playing in the last year and wonder what we're talking about

 

in its' intended form with all the bugs worked out it might gain support as an event if not a permanent change

I would like to see Seasons return as a kinda PvP Global Event of some kind.

Does this mean that there is a chance of it coming back in that format soon?

Hey.

 

Well, as Hoofmaster said, it'd need a bit of adapting.

How would that work we work together to beat up each other to get a global reward?

Would that mean that then Devs would look into the community's feedback into what they think needs a twist,

 

or do you guys have something in mind?

I like Belaric's idea @post #18. I am fully against auto-BB, as I think that's against the nature of PvP in general.

However, I would be "ok" with that only for this event as long as any BB hits are bountyable as normal.

Perhaps, that does not have to affect seasons' stats.

an error to only have had 2 options to the poll, yes or no, when many simply wanted to have the problems fixed


Agree.

Fully agree which leads me to:
 
 

No problem! Happy to chat about how it could be tweaked to work in the game as an additional event that players can take part in smile.png


That sounds great Hoof. There is plenty of info on the Forum to go through as many have said.

I don't see the point here in rehashing it all until you get some interns to go through it and give you a report.

PvP has always been "contentious" due to an extreme lack of knowledge about the issue.

However, there are tons of comments from various types of players on the Forum to peruse.

At this point, I'd simply ask you to review it or have it reviewed.

If you need further input, summarize what you are thinking as viable in a new FS Forum post with your thoughts on what is viable.

More than enough feedback has been given.

Anyway, thanks for looking at it.

Going to be posting up a new idea tomorrow which I think would work well for both PvP and the game in general :)
