PVP!

[Harukusan]

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

PVP on this game is actually really fun.

The main problem with it, and why not more people do it - is because it's not very rewarding and is mostly just a waste of gil. If they made it more worthwhile to do you'd see more people doing it.

[Odintius]

Never really like pvp with or without rewards just me though :P

THE REWARD IS THE BATTLE.

THE CONQUEST OF THE SPIRIT.

THE HUMAN FORM ERUPTING IN BURNING MANLY DIGITAL PASSION.


HRRRRNGGG.



....The screams.

And the dirty sand, in your underwear, after a weapon skill.

PvP requires team based play. Most people seem to treat it as one on one... and it doesn't work that way since the player position is determined client side. An enemy monster will stay in one location when engaging you. A PC will not. If you are a melee type job, your opponent simply needs to get as close to you as possible then constantly move out your line of sight, giving you a lot of "can not see PLAYER" messages...

There is Pankration or w/e it's named... and ballista and brenner both work well. The problem is players don't get any reward for winning.
