PVP!

now, to attract more players, allow people to switch gear without getting stunned for 10+ seconds and it would be great, that's all that needs to be done to ballista and brenner, and it would be twice as appaeling and fun, jobs unbalanced? gearswaps fixes that pretty easy.

one of the main reasons people dont enjoy pvp in this game is just because your not allowed to switch gears in it, i used to be a big fan of ballista, but it just gets plain out boring having to switch gear if your fighting x job, to end up being paralyzed for 10~ seconds.

it's too annoying to be fun. we spend hours after hours to obtain the gear we have today, we should be able to play our jobs as we are used to, even in ballista.

Level 76+ all bst brenner was pretty fun... uncapped bst might become a real contender. enfeebling is pretty much mandatory to get away from them. With the acc, attack and enhanced movement speed many of them have... you have 3~6 hits before and you are dead. I'm guessing 6 for a high hp/def pld... Any mage is dead in 3. And they are good an interrupting spellcasting... running is futile as they don't stop hitting while running, so master can run away while pet destroys someone.
I think PLD would lose out to bst now.

rdm/nin probably still rip up bst. a well placed enfeeble + fast cast means the pet can be enfeebled out of the fight quickly.

blu can too ofcourse, if they are ready for it..
In general however, harder to land spells on bst main when they are running away and you can't nuke the pet down very quickly when they all have 4~5k hp.. and you have 1.5k at best.

I had this idea, very simple Idea... walk up to another player (in a outside area) click on them, under check there will be a duel option after you click duel and the other person accepts (similar to party invite) your allowed to engage them like a mob anywhere outside of a city. during the duel you are unable to change gear macros still work but gear changes do not primarily so you don't blink also to avoid the headache of 10sec para fail. and you could do this between party leaders 6 vs 6 no balista required. It would appease the people who like PVP and if you don't like it all you have to do is decline duel... just an Idea what do you guys think of that?

yep, i thought this was a good Idea and agreed to it when I saw you post it.

That's been brought up several times already. Fighting outside Ballista is a nice idea, I would want it available as an option. As for the penalties, I agree it sucks, but the fact that you blink when you swap gear isn't the issue. The issue with that is when you blink, the person fighting you loses target from you and would have to disengage to reset it, otherwise it is a real pain in the ass for them to use abilities on you. Sounds nice? Not really, people would exploit that all day if they didn't get penalized for it. So no to gear swapping still. Unless they fix blinking without using third party tools it'll always be this way.

However, if there was an option to duel outside of Ballista/Brenner, there technically probably wouldn't be any set rules other than you can only attack the people involved. I imagine gear swapping might be allowed with that, but you never know. It's SE.

OK, viable, as long as there is something in the menu system that I can chose/click that allows me to never see, nor have to react to, a duel request/challenge. Otherwise, it could get very annoying, very quickly.

Alright, I just can't take it anymore. If you want to play PVP, it exists on lakshmi server. Come over and do your best. 60-cap is packed here. If you are even mediocre... we'd be impressed. 90% of the people that migrate here are awful and move back after the 3 months are over. If you are serious about PVP, move to lakshmi. Nothing else to say. Goodbye./

That sounds great, but I'm not really a fan of capped... anything... If that's all you guys do is 60 cap then screw it, I'll be happy with what I have.

Cap rhymes with crap.

I would much rather there be enough people playing ballista that you wouldn't need to buy a server transfer to do it.

And level caps suck.
