Omg thank you so much LP!!!

yes please....some type of global pvp event would be AWESOME!! however another offshoot of the pvp ladder could be PvP seasons....ladder is basically just practice area for the actual pvp seasons...which would be a harder hitting and wider level range of targets/hitters/defenders....could be pretty great actually...those who want to remain on ladder can do so....those of us who want something a bit more HARDCORE can participate in both or just pvp season....just my $.02

i think these potions/chests are great. finally a reason to burn thru my pvp tokens. i will use them in pvp,gvg,bh AND to level....I am very very excited that i no longer have a worthless stockpile of tokens

Anybody out there willing to give the community some info on the recipes and what they make? 

 

Thanks.

YES!!!!! thank you thank you thank you!!!! this is exactly what ive been waiting for!!!!!! again 

 

 

 

THANK YOU!!!!!

I do like this idea, However I  would like to see it work as such  ...

 

When your PET or maybe an item such as a HEART is worn.. It has an "ETERNAL BUFF"  capability... a single buff of your choosing that remains cast at all times while you are wearing your eternal buff / heart / pet.  The eternal buff however must be stoked like a flame ,  activated by activity or fed with gold or something else.. To change this buff would require a reset or an upgrade but it would cost u plenty to do so  ...the buffs available  would  be limited to a select few and wouldnt be epic but would get leveled up to a maximum level that is available to all levels. 

 

 

Could use gold on hand ...give people a reason to hold gold and be potential PvP targets(gold hitting needs love too)

I would really hope for more guilds to hit us back, It doesnt matter if we hit a 900 rating guild or a 1500+ rating guild. In 100+ GvGs only about 20% of guilds (statistically) returned hits on us. Of these returning hits we had 5 draws, 1 loss (against Wigg Splitters, which was frankly a GvG in which I personally was awake at 3 am in the morning, shaking my head at our target being 24/7 buffed up, unbeatable unless you took a risk of loosing, I spent personally 4 EPIC gold pots in it and I still remember that GvG very vivid, needless to say we still lost it after investing heavily in not loosing it)

 

BUT, I doubt many guilds will raise their arms and march to a conflict. I expect an increase of 5% in retaliations. Still an increase as it is, and after all, even a marginal increase in GvG is a good thing.

 

 

The scenario you describe is pretty much 80%+ of our GvG's(except the loss part of course), 

 

I agree ANY increase in GvG activity is a good thing. But there needs to be some type of better reward for returning hits and properly defending also. 

 

 

As ive said before I am all for a rating reset and a quarterly or random resets but they'd have to be at least a month long minimum to be worth it. BUT there needs to be an all-time greats ladder of sorts too....to show respect to those guilds who have held their spots for longer than most have played the game. And I dont just speak of RA...KotFW, OoDP,etc have ALL earned their spots(even if KotFW is currently inactive they still hold the 2nd highest rating should they become active)

 

 

I think there should be a Guild Dominance achievement....similar to the PvP dominance medal but with the benefits of achievements(+1 gs slot,+10max stam, etc) for taking 1st place on GvG ladder for X amount of resets. 

I enjoyed the Season/League but as overall PvP no....As a global type event...YES YES YES....it benefited those with massive stam banks, and those at EoC had a distinct advantage. Also paying to hit someone was a pretty poor idea imho. I didnt mind the auto-bounty for gold hits, prestige hits,etc but the season should never be auto-bountied....its an optional participation event...if im gonna be punished for participating whats the point? PvP Ladder+0 xp loss+rewards that are worthwhile are what i feel will revive it. As for the BB I see XP loss for losing attacks as a bad thing...its surely slowed hunters down from taking on bounties where they might lose. the reward isnt worth the risk to most. so remove the xp loss for lost attacks on bounties, do something to try and increase gold hits....i know more gold in the game is a bad thing for overall economy but as a gold hitter i RARELY see anything really worth swinging at anymore. maybe during pvp season/global also run a 2-3x gold event....or something that would entice gold hits...as after all...thats what some if not most PvP'rs are after in the first place. 

 

 

 

 

 

I have no personal agenda to push...I dont try to profit from anyone or anything in this game. I rely on friends and guildmates for almost everything i have because i give as much as possible to help the game and players. 

IMO it should be as powerful as the season chests, we got 12 Epic Chests for just throwing stam around for a week with no XP loss or durability loss, so definitely for a ladder where you lose TONS of XP, FSPs, gold, Stamina, an Epic Chest would be the least to get

idk about you but i lost around 10 lvls before xp loss was removed from seasons...I spent countless fsp/gold on buffs, I'm in debt for my FS career to a few buffers and friends. And i spent easily 50k stam+ on defending my spot in the titan league. So comparing 2 days of ladder to 2 weeks of Season is not even a fair comparison...toss in the fact that even after XP loss was removed from season hits, I was auto-bountied at least 1-2x a day....I ended up a total of 15 levels down....

 

 

Im all for adding some nice POTENT chests/Epic potions to the ladder but I'd want them to be bound and not quite as awesome as the season chests...maybe only get 1 use from em instead of 12....maybe have the duration a little shorter(not much but enough to make it a more appropriate reward). I'd also like to see a way to profit from the ladder. Maybe some nice leveling pots that are unbound...similar to the arenas....Lib300,AL300,BM300,etc. stuff thats gonna be worth more than 1 fsp in the AH. Maybe even a few unbound epic items acrossed the 2600+ levels we have now....they could have extreme token prices for the components and require either other epics or legendary gear to create....something us PvP players could sell to recoup our losses of xp/fsp/gold/stam from the ladder with

Was there any point to this post other then to attack Luis? Seriously, I was just as outspoken about the Seasons thing on the forums, as were a lot of people. HCS didn't have much of a choice but to revert back to the previous ladder. Levelers and Pvp'ers alike were in agreement.

 

I have to agree that with the bound ladder rewards and the crystaline epics with 50 durability look like crap compared to the gvg rewards that just came out. Ladder players get the raw end of the deal all the way around. And let's be honest. GvG is seriously flawed and has been since the start. It doesn't make much sense, unless this is the next way HCS is looking to phase out the current ladder.

 

 

Compared to the new GvG epics, yes the ladder rewards look like crap, compared to season rewards they look like crap too.....But we got something at least. And I for 1 can say I like the 560 set recently added....when used properly it works well in the arena and in PvP. Does that mean all the new sets work well? no.... It works for me...the durability could be a touch higher along with stats but hey....Im still waiting to see the new potions/gear invented from season trophies....hopefully they will make it worth the time/xp/stam/fsp spent on the ladder. I know for a fact BG is getting a taste of the ladder and what it ACTUALLY takes to play....

Im all for quarterly resets and new GvG Guild Achievements! 

 

I do agree with needing better rp buff packs. The new enchant one is nice but not enough to use it often. 

 

Anything to breathe some life into REAL GvG is better than watching RP farmers destroy a once great part of the game.....

how about simply fxing the rating system, add a quarterly reset to stir things up a bit. but i also think there should be an all time gvg ladder...something to show who held what spots for how long...over all gvg scores, etc. after all some of us have held our spot for many years now.


now then...you asked for a proven setup to beat lvl 200 sets....i gave it to you...you continue to poke the bear and wonder why we snap back. in every post you want something to make your life easier in the game....everyone who reads the forum can see this. ive tried being nice. you tell me how youre supposed to kbow more about gvg than the guild with 8x your conflicts....

we have offered solutions and ideas for the revival of GvG.There have been numerous threads about it over the years. the truly sad part is that some of the best gvg players and guilds have gone inactive because they grew inactive waiting for any kind of update.

the simple fact is this....you claim to be this and that, yet you have done nothing to prove yourself. i have offered advice and you refused to take it. instead you insult myself and my guild at every chance you get.and then wonder why we stomp your bounties! And believe me youre not the first nor the last to do exactly this. we are #1 and those who cant beat us will trash talk, just like you do. heres an idea try actually gvg'n a guild not just 1 player...as your entire "gvg guild" is all the same range....hmmmmm you talk of being great but all i see is farming rp.


As it stands we welcome ALL challengers. we eveb put our rank n reputation on the line during the last GvG tourny held by brice and LWS. guess what...we beat everyone in that tournament and retained our current rating while still gaining 0 rating....

ummm simply no...as said, youre punishing the top guilds...if you wanna climb the ladder then work for it....and i can speak for myself and guild mates when i say-we may not be as active as we were once, but when there is nothing to gain from a gvg win anymore, wht is the point in it? we lose 10+ rating for a loss but gain 0-1 point from a win vs any top 10 gvg guild....where is the incentive to attack? we still run a few gvg's ocassionally and still are open to attacks at any time....


i think your idea is poorly thought out and only favors lower ranked guilds

ive got 2 of the titan trophies, 2 of the spirit of pvp trophies and 500 tokens...i know of many people with far more tokens than i have....if we could cash in on epic potions and sell em for high fsp because they could be tailored for levelers who dont want to bother earning the rewards themselves(this is not a shot at levelers, just saying that they wont lose levels to gain levels)

so if they arent bound the market will easily flood with potions at high prices...imho at least(and im all for profit, but i want to see more pvp activity and overall activity in the game)
