Clock - you and several others did pvp honorably but it just takes a few bad apples to ruin the game for those that don't. If all pvprs played like you, we wouldn't have such distaste by a large part of the non pvp community. im sure you have had brushes with some of the bad apples or some that behave in gray areas. The old game rules allowed this to happen. Those are the folks you should blame or at least try to get changes that would discourage that type of behavior. I speak from experience as I was hit constantly by a player way back when I had no resources to protect myself. Never said a word and it wasn't for prestige or gold as I was hit constantly while I was in that players level range. Seems I'm not the only one with that type of negative experience.

you kept giving "excuses" against the "ladder" which did not make sense, even your last attempt was not against the ladder system but against the REWARDS, which I told you again did not make sense

 

when all things fail then there is always the "bully" card, this has worked wonders in the last 1,5 years, pvp updates were watering down pvp even more because of this

 

last time the "bully" card, you can call it the JOKER was used it almost destroyed pvp 6 months ago, the topic called BLOOD was created to remove xp loss from the game, majority was against it, many who were against it were "muted" and if it was not for hoofmaster stopping this nonesense, then it would have gone through

the BLOOD topic was driven because of "bully", the mighty JOKER card

 

during this time I lost 2 friends, after hoofmaster stopped this nonsense, I tried to get them back to the game but they refused and told me that it was only a matter of time before they try it again, sadly I lost 2 good friends and they were right

 

if xp loss was really the problem then the arena and gvg would have a very high activity but that is not the case but they are still insisting that xp loss is the cause, to me it does not make sense

 

rewards are the reason why the pvp season is that active, the rewards are too powerful, with such EPIC powerful rewards it is no wonder that there is activity

if the same rewards were given to the arena, gvg, ladder then you would have gotten more activity there too

 

I am tired of saying and repeating the obvious thing:

what has "value" and makes profit draws participation to the ladder, that is how every aspect of the game works, be it arena, gvg, pvp, titan hunting, SE hunting, ...

 

for me the pvp season is an excellent idea for a GLOBAL EVENT (pvp)

whatever happens, the reset should be random...prevents last minute rushes and folks waiting till thevlast 2-3 hrs and dropping epic/composing pots snd then running up the ranks

The ladder was indeed created to give players a fair chance, but in a lot of ladders there were only a few (sometimes only 1) players active. Meaning it was just a cheap way to get the rewards. Giving them more rewards is silly, as it will get into the hands of the same players afterall. Look at how much players are active with the PVP season and split that up into 26 ranges or so.. you get the picture!??

you quoted only a little part of my post, if you had quoted my FULL post and read it then you would have understood why the ladder got inactive

 

here is my FULL post

sorry mate but that is one of the most stupid things I have heard in the forums

 

LADDER was created with BANDS to give players a "fair" chance against each other

 

ARENA was created with MAX EQUIP LEVEL to give players a "fair" chance against each other

 

how would it work if player 2600 joined the ladder or arena with this best pvp setups and fights against a 250 player? EOC would get most rewards and high chance new and low players would leave the game

even with my epic setup the 250 player might not beat me at my current level, he would have "ZERO chance" if I use pvp setups, skills, potions

when HCS created the ladder and the arena years ago they considered this and that is why the implemented pvp bands for the ladder and max equip level for the arena

 

today I was clearing a player on the BB who was about half my level, he had an epic potion running (KE 400, flinch 400, dispel curse 345, shield wall 300, .....), I only used a few mediocre buffs (KE 175, LD 175, FS 175, DC 175, ...) and I did not lose a single time while I cleared him (I even made a mistake with my first hit and was wearing 4 epics and still won)

 

the ladder was not "broken" like some players said in the forum, I have explained why the ladder got inactive in these posts:

remember how active the arena was before the tokens were introduced? it took hours and sometimes days / weeks to fill a tournament

after HCS implemented arena tokens you could see tournaments filling in seconds, there was something "new" (only token system, no new rewards) and "profit" to be made from the arena

 

titan hunting would go extinct if epics were worth 1 fsp, hardly anyone would hunt them except for his (bronze) medal, it would be cheaper to buy the epics from AH instead of spending stamina, fsps and potions to hunt titans

 

I am sure that if the pvp season had no new rewards and would take the same old (4-5+ years old rewards) ladder rewards that the participation would be a lot lower or the same as the current ladder (almost inactive)

 

everyone could read in the forums that many players were interested in the new rewards

I doubt many would have tried the new system if there were no new rewards (same as the old ladder)

 

what has "value" and makes profit draws participation to the ladder, that is how every aspect of the game works, be it arena, gvg, pvp, titan hunting, SE hunting, ...

 

for me the pvp season is an excellent idea for a GLOBAL EVENT (pvp)

this should explain why the ladder got inactive

 

I myself stopped playing the ladder for the last few years because the rewards were very old and hardly anything worth, I was not the only one, many quit the ladder too because of this

who would spend thousands of stamina, many hours, fsps, potions to only receive a reward (maybe 2-5 fsps) that is hardly anything worth? you spent x times more than the rewards are actually worth, it was only logical that the ladder was doomed, NEW REWARDS would have brought participation back to the ladder but 4-5+ years and we saw no new rewards

 

if you still somehow do not understand or can not agree with this logic then you can not deny this?

what has "value" and makes profit draws participation to the ladder, that is how every aspect of the game works, be it arena, gvg, pvp, titan hunting, SE hunting, ...

There is absolutely zero problem with the idea that low levels can hit higher levels and vice versa (in Titan League anyway). If you're able to win attacks on high level players, great. If not, LEVEL UP!!

There is absolutely zero problem with the idea that low levels can hit higher levels and vice versa (in Titan League anyway). If you're able to win attacks on high level players, great. If not, LEVEL UP!! ...or learn how and when to hit. For me anyway, Seasons required me to learn a substantial amount in order to be competitive. However, I was able to finish in Crystal by using the knowledge I was gaining and by being strategic, NOT by being EOC. EOC players SHOULD have an advantage simply because they HAVE attained a higher level. After all, they've put in years of playing! If you've spent years having out at one level, could it be time to move along a little bit? Anyway, Seasons is more than fair in as far as how different level ranges are treated. The high levels do have some advantage, BUT the system still makes it so lower levels can be competitive.

It doesn't matter that the old system of prestige is gone. The rewards for Seasons are good enough, regardless of League, to justify at least occasional participation by the levelers that hit for prestige (like me). If you want benefit from a single attack, go find somebody with a lot of gold and hit them.

The BB is fine. I like that it adds risk to Seasons. I haven't noticed if the system works like this already or not, but I think the gold amount threshold for auto-posting should be lower for lower level players and higher for higher level players. That makes it accessible to many levels of hunters.

You think i should have to level to compete in a pvp system?  If that were the case then why release anything new for levels below EOC?

 

 Whats wrong with having the same system in place that worked  wood=crystal why does it have to change in titian? i dont agree with the Large stat difference that makes it so that im free rating.

We realise some players really like the new PvP Seasons and Bounty Board changes, while others really dislike them. We're in the process of putting up an in-game poll to gauge the overall opinion on the updates from the community as a whole. We'll post in the news once the in-game poll is ready.




#943052 Update v2.82

Posted by Glaucous on 03 August 2015 - 14:50

so ive tried to stay constructive....but this is dumb  

 

 im not going to be farm for lvl 2000+ players.

Who ever came up with this idea and the guy who seconded him needs to jump in this league and try to compete.

 

I would also like to point out that the potions are not balanced, the armor pot is more powerful than the def pot.  

the armor pot is centered around the armor stat where as the def pot has def and attack, as well as a buff with only a chance to activate. there isn't one chance buff in the armor pot.  

 

im disappointed in the last season im still laughing at how this season was implemented and I still dont know what the reward for my efforts will be if i choose to get my teeth kicked in by eoc players.

 

please please please stop the madness 




#943040 Update v2.82

Posted by feralnoob on 03 August 2015 - 14:35

Well the Cows fixed it for you EOC players  you will be happy now .. Well they had to keep you guys quiet one ways or another.. I wont even bother with the league now..  not worth my stamina or Hard earned cash 




#943037 Update v2.82

Posted by DARKELITE1 on 03 August 2015 - 14:33

if they go back to specific bands, then I say scrap seasons and go back to pvp ladder. i look forward to 10 stam hitting and swapping for dominance like was frequently done back in the old system. I love how everyone can only see the negative of the new system and none of the positives.

 

Also you guys are missing a key point, what if only 1 person of your band is in the current PvP Titan League? Are you not to have any targets? Obviously it would be to your advantage to have targets to hit. That is why there is an open system for hitting at titan league, since its capped at 100 people

(Deleted previous post just retyping)

 

We see the positives  i was actually thoroughly enjoying seasons before I saw the layout of the the Titan league. There is no hope for progression for any player below level 2000. I mean even if im fully buffed im likely to be beaten by an EOC'er sitting in poor offline gear with minimal buffs. Its ridiculous. Obviously you see the bright side to it as you are level 2600




#943030 Update v2.82

Posted by donce4kill on 03 August 2015 - 14:18

Not sure if a bug or intentional...after deflecting and attack, attacker can attack again without having to wait an hour. Also no level range is ridiculous, soon ranking will be arranged by levels




#943022 Update v2.82

Posted by Bluetail on 03 August 2015 - 14:10

You made it into Titan League at level 311 :)

 

Titan League is intended for only EOC players? What about everyone else, I think the whole player base should be considered here.  Anyone who cant go toe to toe with EOC is gonna opt out, myself included. Plus why need a gold cost per search when we have the hourly cooldown to prevent farming; its already costing 50 stamina per hit. Update kinda seems one step forward but two steps back.




#943020 Update v2.82

Posted by DARKELITE1 on 03 August 2015 - 14:09

This is ridiculous. Im in the titan league and im being hit by people hundreds/thousands of levels above me. How is the average player meant to progress through this league? This isnt PvP at all.

 

Add bands to the titan league similar to the ladder, otherwise theres no point in anyone below 2000 lvl in even participating




#942990 Update v2.82

Posted by DomCorvis on 03 August 2015 - 13:01

maybe i missed it. Are you going to put a random end time on the seasons? to prevent last minute farming like last time(many have stated that this is how they made it to crystal league)


#942948 Update v2.82

Posted by bloody18 on 03 August 2015 - 09:24

What did I participate in last week? That was unofficial ?? I'm lost!

Just sayin, as I used official stam.

 

We have yet to get any rewards .. and we have yet to receive any applicable medals!
