How to revive PvP?

    Tera is a game designed for small scale(3-6 on each side) PvP. Instead of focusing on that, BHS keep trying to push absurd mass PvP that Tera has none of the requirements for. And, yes, there have been games that did mass PvP brilliantly but none of the stuff those games had in order to make it work are present in Tera. PvP will remain on the dead side for as long as stupidity like Alliance and CU keep happening.

    It is was designed for mass oO, you just need an insanely top of the line 1500-3K PC

    In early days there was no BG and PVP was well mass PVP and Alliance.

    Most who play TERA on NA use potatoes or laptops like me hence the F2P moniker and the fact that many PC gamers are not enthusiasts/ haven't upgraded going on 6-7 years now? Even when they do upgrade its the next lvl mid tier card that well is mediocre. It's still not uncommon to run into some1 who thinks they can play TERA with an integrated graphics card. Keep in mine those are the masses who complain and can't tell the difference between FPS/ping "lag"

    If you run the diagnostics test pretty sure majority would fail. Whats next? You actively search and tweak the game, but lets get real many will say, "Aint nobody got time for that!"

    Erm, no. FWC and 3v3 both predate Alliance. OWPvP is small scale(most of the time) and GvG is somewhere in the middle as it has somewhat different requirements and can be done for a variety of reasons. Alliance PvP and CU are both completely incompatible with Tera and it's not because of fps issue but because of the core game design. Organised, faction-oriented mass PvP requires a certain degree of non-communication between enemies, specific class balance, post-stun defence, variety of strategic options, actual teamwork etc. Tera has none of those things. Mass PvP is something that makes action combat vastly irrelevant(and, in some cases, it's stupidly annoying) and that's Tera's selling point. You know what works really great with action combat? Small scale PvP.

    +1 the truth has been spoken.

    Unfortunately *new* BHS team that works for TERA have an absolute obsession with mass PvP and totally neglecting Skyring. Oh well, not the first game I played where its entire potential got obliterated by clueless "new team" of developers.

    rofl, dude, you're hilarious if you think people with top of the line PCs accept 10FPS of gameplay (not just CPU, but Pascal GPU etc too, of course it doesn't do squat for TERA what a surprise really).

    You see, people with top of the line PCs expect nothing less than at least 60FPS @ 4k resolution playing a game that looks as [filtered] as TERA since it's so old. And even that is a stretch, for these graphics.
  • Too late for It's "revival".
  • Lower the cost of Mats in bell shop and killing spree to be more realistic fix timing of power hour to more of the afternoon and evening not early morning. Do not force pvp players into pve. Set a world wide pvp system bounty hunter opton where players are killed by npc like "ellion" or have players that are against different guilds are outlawed and be a target in certain towns? But the biggest problem is the way to obtain items and reduce the level entry to battle grounds to level 30 if battle grounds was more realist on time put into it and getting items people will play more

    1. Turn IoD into a PvP zone. >
    2. Give IoD better rewards so more people have more reasons to be there.
    3. Leaderboards for BG's and GvG's (and PvE) >
    4. Prizes for top ranks each month.
    5. Give us something farm outside so people can PvP out of towns/safe zones.
    6. Rework/expand outlaw system.
    7. Host tournaments every 2-4 months instead of every 1.5 - 2 years.
    8. Random open world events that is either PvP focused, or can incentivise PvP if it will gain you the upper hand.

    Just a few ideas.

    Too many things happened. It's time to face the music. There's no one left to pummel or any interest for new guy to get into PvP specially not mass 1fps PvP. Theres no winning. Un EQ gear favors +15. EQ gear didn't do anything except more killing it. BG with EQ gear plus keep gear over certain ilvl was best. Who thought of that? Make X BG for 65 only cuz lowbies be killing my game man => untorable q times - dead again. It's rip time boys. This game is for small scale PvP yet those small bgs are dead except on power hours when noobs come in to be pummeled for the promise of a reward
  • Listen to the community and maybe this game will get better.
  • I said that wrong, listen to the PVP community. Stop providing pve content that requires minimal skill and half a brain and shift to the actual part of this game that requires some brain cells.
  • hello I recently returned to see a few cool changes like the flying dragon mount, but get with it tera you totally destroyed pvp by making it 65 only, people enjoyed the hunt the chase and saving lowbies, and you destroyed my home server naming it after fairy forest, really WTF?!? bring back VOT! bring back open PVP what the hell is wrong with you people, everyday the majority of players that been here a while are all very unsatisfied, I spend a lot of money on this game and so do others, FIX IT THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT! PS your emp prices are greedy and ridiculous, 50 [filtered] dollars for an account bind mount? holy [filtered]

    People still care about PvP?

    A lot of people still care about Pvp. BHS and EME on the other hand clearly do not

    it's pretty unrealistic for anything significant to happen to pvp. Why would the devs care about pvpers when a good majority of the community doesn't touch it? They might throw you guys a bone or 2 with power hours or whatever but TERA's not a pvp centric game and it never will be. It's just a fun minigame at this point, and sure I enjoy it but it's still something I really only do to kill time when im out of runs or something. It's a pointless cause to try to revive pvp at this point; why would BHS dump resources into a part of the game that only a small fraction of the community partakes in?
  • They don't have to dump any resources into it. I could easily build a plan to revive at least 3 bgs (possibly more, possibly alternating between all bgs), without making any real changes to the game itself, and have them remain active until bhs touches it again

    Already offered this multiple times to EME, no response so I guess they don't want to fix it.
