#891910 FINAL SOLUTION for BOTH parties

Posted by justinian9 on 30 September 2014 - 04:17

Mary.. I have read your post a few times but honestly Raw PvP would be very few players and how many levelers would opt in to any PvP (and stay).  Soft PvP while using less stamina would still drain stamina and I would opt out to regain stamina.  I still have to level. 

 

Even in your crew how many would opt in to Raw PvP as you guys are pushing to gain on FFS. Maybe your EOC players would opt in as I am not sure how many other PvP crews have players at EOC so they would not have to spend stamina 100 staming.

 

I like the ladder but if I have to 100 stamina hit everyday I will only stay until i am tired of stamina loss. (buffing and 100 staming)

 

I do not see this increasing PvP activity 

 

EDIT:  Am I missing something?




#891908 FINAL SOLUTION for BOTH parties

I guess I don't understand the need for this.

 

There IS XP LOSS AND LEVEL LOSS in the proposed new system, so why is it being labeled soft? Just because it happens to be XP specific to PVP? Doesn't it sound strange to keep harping on that? Why not take this opportunity to embrace the aspect of the game you love in a nicer more direct and open environment?

 

The new system does what should have been done from day 1, separate two aspects of the game that never should have been intermingled in the first place.

 

The new system actually promotes pitting the best against the best in the way it is structured which is what I as a PVPer would like to see.

I have no idea what the other players are using. Unless I'm missing some special combat log. I wish I win one in 10 but winning 0 is no fun. Definition of insanity to keep trying and expecting different results. How many times do I try? 50, 100, 1,000? I gave up at 100... 0-100

 

chewy my advice, if u wanna just take pot luck, in a setup that takes no thought at all, just jack up on heaps high defense and a fair decent amount of damage and enter non moves arena, it doesnt really have to be anywhere near precise to get lucky with a setup like that in non moves, if you get a lucky hit in before an atk def set gets the attack BOOM, if you bleed the armor guy before he gets the lucky hit BOOM, no thought, i didnt really put any thought into any non moves def dam set ive ever used and won many hundreds of arenas that way, maybe over 700 wins that way who knows :)




#891846 PvP XP system: ways to make it rewarding.

Posted by Leos3000 on 29 September 2014 - 19:46

Iron stance is a no from me simply because you should not gain anything from being posted on the board...opens up a lot of ways to abuse the system!

Biggest and easiest is having people lose to you on purpose who either do not care about the xp or are multi accounts making the main character higher.

Probably why they like the PvP XP idea more since they can just alter those buffs to work with a different XP system.. Makes sense to just change them than to cut em..

If they don't decide to go with PvP XP then they can buff for PvP rating or blood or bones or prowess or the still beating hearts of our enemies..

Same goes with the Protection enhancement

XP Loss is going. This is not going to help anything I'm afraid. It'll just get people annoyed.

Look,  PvP is my passion, Bounty hunting is my avocation.  The rewards don't even cover the stam cost, not to mention the cost of tickets, and buffs. It is a very expensive pursuit, and by no means profitable. I do it because I love the feeling I get from being able to spank someone several hundred levels above me, not for the profit... There is no profit ;)   Hope that clears things up.  

 

#end rant

Dear Penny, you're lvl 509, you have no idea how it's impossible to make profit bounty hunting at lvl 1000+...BB for sure needs a new formula, usually I pay 1 FSP worth of tickets, plus buffs and stamina, just to get a 50K reward...That's not right =P

IBL ..

Cows have already decided this is happening. doesn't matter how many polls, threads, whatevers there are.

 

As BadPenny has suggested in other threads, just accept the fact ( it IS their game, after all) and come up with ways to make the replacement good for everyone..

     If it doesn't matter finding out how the majority of the players feel to have a poll and a decision has been made, it would seem that the decision would have "the best interests of the game in mind".  However, we have to ask the effects of a change and what the outcome will be.  The idea behind a decision to remove XP loss and make it PVPXP loss is that XP is held as valuable.  Many non-PVPers don't like losing XP getting hit so they complain.  Some threaten HCS that they will quit unless XP loss is removed from PVP.  The COWS don't want to lose revenue with the game losing players, and the game some would say would deteriorate.

     In this case, XP loss from PVP would be prevented.  Instead, PVPXP would be lost.  If PVPXP has little or no value compared to XP, then as some say in global chat, who cares if PVPXP is lost, all that is cared about is XP loss.  There must be some gain besides a medal or rank to have a perceived value of PVPXP.  Maybe special items can be introduced that require that both a player XP level and PVP level must be obtained or a certain XP level + PVP level must be obtained or are based on PVP level alone.  Make it that 1 hitting can only be possible with items that require a high level of both XP level and PVP level.  This would make gaining PVP level DESIRABLE and a sought after goal.  It would make PVPXP valuable.

    *** However, what the game developers have to consider very carefully is:

     By making PVPXP VALUABLE, once the same people complaining NOW about XP loss start to lose their valuable PVPXP ... there will be complaints on how evil PVP bullies are hitting them.  PVPXP will be held as valuable and many non-PVPers won't like losing PXPXP and the complaints start again.  Some will say they will quit unless things change and PVPXP is removed from PVP!  The COWS will not want to lose revenue with the game losing players, and some would say the game would deteriorate.  Full circle.

So, thinking ahead and how this will play out, I would ask the game developers to THINK this through. What some THINK will result from this change will not happen.

     I just want to state this NOW so later on if ANYONE even THINKS about complaining about losing PVPXP from being hit, I would hope you will remember this post and humbly just deal with it and remember that getting first in this game with either XP level or PVP level won't pay your bills, won't make you live longer, won't bring your family closer together - so losing levels, either XP or PVP, is really not something to be all upset over :)  Just play the game for what it is, however the "what it is" is.

Not sure where anyone advocated for no poll but the accusations fly... My question is if there were a poll and it was 500-499 in favor of no xp loss, will you all accept it and support the idea going forward?




#891739 Straight from the heart

Posted by murabane on 29 September 2014 - 01:25

I think the fact that you are able to come to terms with a change to the game that seems inevitable to the game, speaks volumes. I really have yet to even get that far as i really can't imagine the game without it let alone it keeping the BB from completely dying off. But me throwing sand into other peoples faces isn't going to help the situation nor how i think about it.

 

 

I really don't know who said what, haven't looked into it any. I really don't understand why people do that stuff, i mean i understand the passion for it. We all have passion for things, but let that passion for it try to improve and uplift it, not bring it down and tarnish it. I'm for keeping the xp and it seems that a lot of people for that and keeping pvp the way it is, are really just ranting at everyone let alone one another in some cases. After that you can't expect to even have a winning argument when the side you are trying to take is doing nothing but fighting. And i definitely wouldn't go out of my way to make someone i know feel like crap just for having a different opinion than mine. If anything it gives you a different way of looking at the situation which always helps.

 

Truthfully penny, again i don't know who they are but they should be embarrassed of themselves for even saying those things to you especially if any of those people know you or consider themselves your friend. I mean one way of looking at it is that you are ready for a new challenge, to branch out and try something else. As a friend why would you not support a friend with that mindset? Even if your not a friend for someone to go out try something new, to branch out and grow how is that bad in any type of way? Is it bad because they won't choose to do it or don't like it, seems a bit closed minded to me. I'm sorry that you had to deal with this penny, especially under the circumstances of everything :( In the mean time just let all the bad things go in one ear and out the other, don't let it linger and bother you. And if you need anything you know where to find me, i know im not much of anything but ill help when i can. :)

I like gore, death, and horror just as much as the next weirdo but the look of the term Blood and how its being used for this idea does nothing for me.. I just don't want to be labeled as a blood hoarder or anything..

I would even be better with collecting bones or a skull instead of blood.. How much is 10 blood? Lol
