#946086 PvP Ladder/ Bounty Board Improvement Ideas

Posted by Calista on 21 August 2015 - 03:11

Please put together a list of what you, the PvPer really wants.  Consider the whole PvP community and not how you can get  the upper hand for yourself alone, or your guild.

 

Submit it to Hoof, then see what the coders can do with it. Who knows you might get something that really works.

 

You should also stop all this: I want , I want, I want. You are not alone in PvP but from the way you sound you think you are.

That's why you want to stay within a set level range and pick off the new blood coming up.

 

That's a real pity.  Think of all those EOC players you could go postal on it you only worked a little more. lol

 

 

People should remember that PvP'ers did not want the changes that were made. If you ask alot of us, we'd say we'd undo the last 5+ updates done to PvP.  Each change to pvp has watered it down and hurt that part of the game even further. These changes were primarily made for those looking for protection from the 'evil bully' pvp players.  Big difference.

 

No one should be judged for how they choose to play the game, or what level they choose to be. Leveling is boring. Good for those who find other ways to keep themselves entertained and logged in. Isn't that what we're really after?




#941029 PvP Season Update Completed

Posted by Calista on 24 July 2015 - 14:45

And since I can't find the topic from yesterday, and my support ticket has been ignored for days,  will someone in HCS confimm they are aware how many bounties people are facing with the system.




#941027 PvP Season Update Completed

Posted by Calista on 24 July 2015 - 14:40

Many players weren't happy with being included in the PvP Season so this gives them an option to choose not to participate in it. I realise we'll never make everyone happy with an update, but this lets people who want to take part in the PvP Season continue to do so, and people who don't wish to take part are not longer affected by it.

 

Fix the bounty board and your seasons thing might get a chance. we have people putting in tickets to terminate their accounts over this!  2 days and you;ve created another ladder while destroying the rest of pvp.

#940551 how do i bounty

Posted by Calista on 23 July 2015 - 17:35

You mean you don't like being hit and not having a way to defend yourself? Why didn't someone think of that? Oh wait..... pvpers tried to tell you and Hcs. Been at work all morning but the hilarity is priceless.

Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Pvpers do not want this change. This is a mess.

This "make or break" goes both ways. I don't envy HCS. Lean one way a little and people get mad. Lean the other way a little and people get mad.

 

I never said it went one way or another, only that alot of players are waiting to see what is decided. I agree, I don't envy HCS.

 

I haven't stuck around this long waiting to leave the first day in a snit. I want to see how this plays out. But the wai...  Erased Rant.  We're just ready for some answers.

 

So Hoof, I can promise to tone down the negativity and wait to see what you guys throw at us,  if you guys would tone down the 'Teasing' until you're ready to 'Put Out', okay?  4chsmu1.gif

In case it hasn't been made clear,  this upcoming update is a make or break one for alot of your players. We've enjoyed your game for years. We're giving you the benefit of the doubt that there will be something left to salvage at the end of this. But confidence is waning and comments giving us no answers but making it clear you still intend to change everything are not helping. Something needs to be decided and put into writing. You need to define this for your players already so we know what game we have left to play.




#936526 PvP Seasons / Bounty Preview

Posted by Calista on 18 June 2015 - 15:18

The team (including myself) are currently looking through this thread and taking notes and we're going to discuss all the issues raised so far. From what I've read so far the main issues of contention appear to be around the bounty board but we'll be sure to look at all the comments and feedback.

 

Thank you, Hoof. It shows alot that the HCS team is listening to the concerns of the players and trying to come up with something that works better for everyone. For many of us, the main bone of contention is the lack of a way to stand up for ourselves with the new system. The removal of the current Bounty Board would leave the players with no viable options, or at least no way of discouraging constant attacks.

You mean a highly vocal minority? It's ten pages of a half dozen players posting repeatedly. The same was true of Titan Cooldown. That didn't destroy the game. This won't either.

 

The Bounty Board should not have been used by Guilds to destroy other players. It was. It most certainly should not have been used in such a fashion for 'remarks'.

 

Sadly, this attitude has been the problem for a long time. No one 'destroyed' other players. No one ever lost levels on the Bounty Board without hitting someone. This is the way the game has always been played, and you're destroying it with this change, not saving it.

 

But really, just answer one question. In this new system, what option are you leaving your players to defend themselves?

To say that I'm disappointed would be an understatement. While the ladder fix looks like it could be interesting, the complete annihilation of the bounty board doesn't make alot of sense. Why would you completely remove our ability to defend ourselves? What option are you leaving players to stand up for themselves? Or hell, for their guild to help them when needed?




#935183 Development Update April 2015!

Posted by Calista on 10 June 2015 - 16:44

Just to throw it out there, but what we've been being told all along has already been 'added' too with comments of this new update affecting more then just the ladder. And with Grim running around saying how much he likes the new system, (Sorry Grim), I'm a little freaked out nothing is going to be left to salvage. How is a pvp tournament suppose to affect the bounty board? The waiting is getting tedious. Please give us some sort of idea of what we're going to be left to work with.




#934933 Bounty offers on 2,000+ Players.

Posted by Calista on 07 June 2015 - 10:39

Oh I'm sorry. Did they lie to you when you signed up for Fallen Sword and tell you there was no PvP? Wait.... they gave us a quest in the beginning that required rating to progress. Do ya think that might have been their way of preparing you for what you faced in this game? Naaaaaw, that would make too much sense......

Welcome to Fallen Sword. PvP is and always will be a part of this game. If you choose not to take part, you have several options to protect yourself. But make no mistake, it is YOU making a choice not to participate in a part of the game. Totally your right, but no one elses responsibility. Otherwise, you can play the game the same as everyone else which means putting up with parts of it you'd rather not deal with. Cheers!


#934920 Bounty offers on 2,000+ Players.

Posted by Calista on 07 June 2015 - 05:19

Since players reached the lvl 2,000 mark I think we need a fix on Bounty Board offers, considering the FSP like 200.000 Gold, offering 1FSP for a lvl 2,500 players doesn't makes sense anymore.

I believe everyone will agree with that (c'mon community, don't let me down on this lol).

 

Sorry yghor, but expecting the community to agree on anything pvp related is a pipe dream. The cows don't even agree on how pvp should work.

 

 

 

When the 1000 per level cost was introduced this was still back long before there were even level 1000 players, so it only would make sense that as time went on and the level cap went up that the bounty board posting costs would also need to be set to increase.

 

If only common sense worked .......

 

 

According to rumours, the new PvP Tournament will be something to fix/replace the PvP Ladder, not the Bounty Board.

 

The cows have repeatedly said the changes they have planned will not effect normal pvp. It's a pvp tournament that will work to fix the ladder. They keep saying it, the same way.  It's the first step in whatever other changes they decide to make. We're still waiting to see what it actually does and what is to follow.  Unfortunately, those who do not participate in pvp related activities can not tell the difference. And as made clear by this thread, those of us who do participate in pvp related activities are looked down upon and made into villains (or bullies!) instead of being seen as players who play one of the many avenues available in the game. This is a pvp game. Like it or not, that's what you signed up for. I bet the titans don't think so highly of all the dreaded titan hunters but at least they accept that's how the darn game works.

 

 

Did you feel a sense of accomplishment when you reached level 2500? Sure you did, you worked hard to get there and nobody can take that away from you. Just like back in the glory days of bounty board dancing when bounty hunters had to really work to get a completion I would get a big smile on my face knowing I was up there for high fsp bounties and that I'd have lots of new friends wanting to play.

 

Sense of accomplishment is sometimes easy to attain based on someone's mood, for me I don't mind seeing a high fsp bounty placed, means that I not only peed on someone's cheerios(not cornflakes, thats just wrong) but also sank the unsinkable 'O'....think back, I'm sure you remember the commercial as well.

 

But alas, as a pvper I'm not allowed to feel any sense of accomplishment for my actions because I'm evil even if it's something so simple as tossing out that extra fsp...and honestly the only thing it does for me on the boards is add an extra dot that's not going into my pocket anyways but the pocket of the bounty hunter.

 

+1 Nicely said! Umm, except I didn't get the commercial reference. Sorry, I only seem to have luck remembering useless information like what nonsense trash talking comment some no name moron said 4 years ago that cost them levels.  4chsmu1.gif

I realize it is a confusing concept... that PvP prestige should be earned by those who actually PvP. This has been debated since the introduction of prestige in the game. It has never worked. It was never intended to give people who don't pvp an easy way to get more xp when they level.  It was introduced to help PvP players use their pvp experience to regain the levels that PvP'ing tends to cost.  Hence the name... PvP prestige.

 

If gvg isn't allowed to be abused and made easy for players,  then why is it acceptable for PvP to be so blatantly and openly abused without HCS stepping in and fixing the issue?  The original post is a good suggestion on a way to make things work more like they should, given the very definition of it. I realize that players want the easy win, more more more. But you have more win buttons then any of us need. This needs to be addressed, just like the gvg abuse eventually was. .
