IMO ...
1 of the mon or wed skyrings should be swapped out to gridiron.
I know this month has been really dead without them so far
Must type words in order to post.
My point is PVP content has to catch up, both rewardwise and logicwise: Iron, Kumas, nerf credits to the ground for these; they're leveling stuff. If "something" isn't done, you might as well simply give up on trying anything, and swallow the fact that PVP in TERA being dead is fine.
I read somewhere, can't remember exactly on what topic, "you can't always pound your fist on the table and say [filtered] it, EME will do it his way" to BHS. Maybe you should try it, because yes you can. We're talking of BHS, a company who chose Frogster to host their EU market (tldr history of TERA EU: f2p goes boom lots of players (like NA), a year later WH -30% of player compared to MCHM, ABHM -40%, SCHM and Fate of Arun: remaining people go to NA because fed up), they are pushovers. A strong hand in business is essential, should this really be reminded to an american company ?
rant;
Completely agreed. Gridiron is definitely one of the best battlegrounds in the game.
Skyring isn't something for everyone and shouldn't take 2 days while another is being forgotten
Everything you've said is spot on.
The forum and in game rage when fwc went EQ was something else. EME simply ignores us now when we ask about it. Twitch streams getting bombarded with "make fwc great again" and "wtb uneq fwc" when the new PM made his introduced and it was completely ignored for silly questions.
Yes I'm posting again about it but it's literally falling on deaf ears....
No they can't because they're partners and sister companies, with the same core investors. They can advise and recommend and provide data/customer feedback, but they cannot threaten or force their way. It's like telling your boss to go pound sand; it doesn't end well for you. They have to play the political game and ultimately respect BHS's wishes for the game, even when they disagree. As we learned clearly from the dragon fiasco and other similar past issues, BHS always has the final say.
In the end, this is another decision that was made as part of the unification of global builds, and I presume other regions (not NA) must prefer it this way, even though the feedback on the forum here is negative. But I know that at least part of the feedback here is complicated by the fact that equalized gear is so flawed, and also the fact that PvP rewards in general are seen to be lacking.
Because if they didn't then you guys wanting to queue gridiron are in for a nasty surprise when you see what happens when 1/3 of the holy trinity couldn't be bothered showing up.
This is a bandaid Noesis. Even with power hours people won't run Fraywind or CS as often as Kumas/ Iron battlegrounds. We need a system similar to the crusades if you honestly want PvP to return. There needs to be a reason to compete.
Bluehole has taken away the need to gear up in battlegrounds since everything is now equalised ( except team 3s but hey not like it pops often). Let's avoid Civil Unrest as well , that discussion is elsewhere.
Anyway back to the subject at hand. Power hours aren't worth doing if the PvP gear you can obtain from it is basically redundant. So there's only two suggestions I can offer.
Attempt to return fraywind to being un equalised (have an eq version for up to 64 , remove Kumas / Iron BG). Second and more importantly we need a leader board. With some form of reward for rank 1 - 3.
For example : Rank 1 - 2 Diamonds
Rank 2 - 5 Emeralds
Rank 3 - 3 Emeralds.
Don't. Jump on me. Add in your thoughts but I must request you be constructive.
Peace out guys.
I refuse to run Kumas or Iron Battleground, would uninstall first.
People >>>do<<< run FWC and CS almost exclusively in PH, this is why people want PH.
People are doing BG for KS credits which will buy jewellery upgrade kits, the new circlet and VM mats.
You try to negate CU which is a legitimate reason to get BG gear, the BG gear also helps with the most important thing in the game... ILVL requirements, even though it is trash for PVE you get a sweet ILVL of 426 from it.
Leaderboards are stupid, they are unfairly biased towards certain classes and kill stealers and don't necessarily represent your value to the team (hence why no one guards ladders in CS) my 2nd mystic was created in 2013 and just a few days ago I got 1st on the CS leaderboard because team was trash, must have done hundreds of CS runs. On a wrecking ball team, healer is almost never first on board, even for FWC.
"Don't. Jump on me. Add in your thoughts but I must request you be constructive" nice try, but I disagree with your post, sorry bro.
