PVP!

[Harukusan]

It seems to me that people who have something negative to say about Ballista have never really experienced it the way it was meant to be, like back in the day when you could find 18+ people per team in Jugner/Pashhow/Meriph. Also, those who suggest that there isn't PVP at all just don't know what they are talking about. This isn't your topic, stay out of it.

I, for one, am a total Ballista fanatic, and would love to see it's glory days again. No one job is superior to another if you're prepared to fight them. My favorite job to play in Ballista was DRK mainly, and I would tear up all the BLUs and PLDs etc. Ballista isn't only about utilizing your own knowledge and skills to its fullest capabilities, but also knowing your opponents as well as the jobs they are playing, and how they play them. It's much much more than simple beat-'em-up, especially in a 1vs1 duel. Those of you who have participated in the real Ballista and got rocked by 10 opposing players have reason to be skeptical about it, it can be annoying (I've experienced this many times). But that's also part of the learning experience you gain. The lesson learned is "Don't do whatever it is you just did to get yourself killed!"

Again, to all you nay-sayers: don't get your panties in a knot because you have no interest in a certain aspect of the game that has been around much longer than most of you began playing. If you don't want to participate, then don't. But don't talk trash about it.

The one and only thing that I would love to see changed to Ballista is the accessibility. Since no one participates in the official matches anymore, literally everyone I ever knew to do Ballista (that still plays) has run dry of Ballista points to enter the Diorama. If we have to pay to play, I'd rather just spend a little gil, or perhaps create a new purpose for the hundreds of Beastman's/Kindred's seals/crests that are collecting dust. I also like the idea of implementing more zones available for combat, as well as the idea to request a duel with someone any time.

I would like to have ballista glory days back too, and yeah, like many old ballista players I ran out of Ballista points a time ago.
