PVP!

[Faule]

/sprint moar.

Lol one of my old friends used to have this in his bazaar comment, and it still makes me laugh every time i ballista

In Case of NINJA /break glass <thundaga3>

Need a hardcore server like on diablo 2

you die.. your character gets deleted >:U

[Alhanelem]

and the game still tells you they are too far away even though you are thoroughly humping them.

Obviously you've never done Ballista. Melee range is slightly increased so that you can still hit people who are running.

make PVP go away completely.

Yeah, we should remove stuff because you don't like it.

features shouldn't be removed just because person X or Y doesn't like them. There are people who like it, therefore it should be made as enjoyable as possible for those poeple. There are many ways to enjoy FFXI. You enjoy it your way, let other people enjoy it theirs.

If you're standing still near a Blue Mage and dying, the problem is very simple. Stop doing it, otherwise spells like gravity and bind would not exist.

Movement, and the ability to kite/move is a very powerful asset in PvP. Am I supposed to tell Black Mages to not kite my Dark Knight? Red Mages using a staff setup as well.

Running away is when you turn tail and run, not when I'm in your face beating you with a close range weapon.

If one can't melee a moving target, then don't PvP.

[Urteil]

Running away is running away. There's no funny fancy definition. Nobody likes it when you fidget around turn and run, even if it's not out of engagement range.

Fidgeting and breaking target lock and running through the guy are "legal" tactics, but it just drives people crazy and then they don't want ot play anymore. I've had a fair few people stop doing ballista because they couldn't stand me and other people doing that. Seperate issue from balance, of course, but worth mentioning.

These people need to learn how to use the directional keys for their character. I quickly got the hang of it when I turned in my adventuring coupon. You used to be able to find them on the AH, if they still existed it would be nice for people who still can't do this to go pick up a few. It might even teach them how to use the map functions and maybe the real problem is they can't target PC/NPC's.

Aha. Thats it.

Either way I don't think they exist on the AH anymore so all these unfortunate people are out of luck. Its a shame.

[svengalis]

Somehow i don't think enough people care about pvp for it to be worth fixing.

Because it sucks right now! If they were to put more effort into and make it fun and rewarding more people would be into it.

[Urteil]

Therefore I'm not "doing it wrong" ? You're right, it is easy to hit people without them being immobilized. That's one of the things that makes BLU strong.

I meant, its easy to hit /you/. This problem seems to be peculiar to you.

I was being a bit of a jerk, I apologize.

However you are correct in that Blue Mages are not affected by the capping of damage on their magic. Their debuffs are also encoded differently completely circumventing most resistance traits and gear affecting it.

^ This is the real problem.

Never the less they are very beatable.

Would love a better pvp system. I find the Brenner sign up system simpler but I hate that you're penalized for gearswapping. That isn't a problem in Ballista, but the sign-ups are awful.

You are penalized in both.

I agree that you should be able to sign up for Ballista (Ghelshba) with Gil at this rate, and for them to please remove the OM matches from the Brenner schedule.

Menu's could be streamlined, but menu's in FFXI suck anyway.
