Civil unrest I avoided because of how easily it can be exploited so in turn gives me personally no reason to bother with it.
I think you kind of misunderstood my post. Power Hours help make it so players can coordinate around a set time to queue for BGs when they might otherwise be doing dungeons or who knows what. Nobody said they were counter productive.
That said, I do appreciate your credit store suggestions so thanks very much for the feedback!
Thanks for your ideas! We're still pushing to get FWC unequalized. We haven't forgotten about it. As far as Kumas and Iron BGs I know many PvP-focused players don't consider these to be actual PvP Battlegrounds. In your opinion do you think those who queue for Kumas to get credits and level their characters would otherwise be queued up for FWC?
You said EME is still pushing to get fwc un eq.
It's been 4months... you must have had some feedback good or bad from BHS regarding it.
Would be great if you would share with the community.
I agree. I'll talk to Noesis and see what we can share about the progress made on it.
Right, I didn't mean to put words in your mouth; that was my opinion, clumsy writing of mine ...
You can get the materials for the brooch and jewelry retool. This helps get some players to queue up since they have something to spend credits on. You also have the enchantment boxes which were added to help make bgs more rewarding. Their addition was a good step in the right direction but other than updating the feedstock tier not much else was done to make bgs seem worth while.
Leader boards really do need to be brought back. Last I checked they still weren't part of ktera's ui. Either something should be added to the eme website or bhs needs to find a way to bring back the old ui window.
In FWC when the season resets the top 3 ranks are already rewarded diamonds through an achievement if it's their first time getting ranked. Top 30 in FWC get to use a 290 mount (Battle Charger) so long as they bought it before it was removed from the BC shop.
I'd like to see a fix on prices for vm mats, battle charger skill book added back in, pvp themed streams, and a pvp tourney. Bringing back MI would be a good reward too or some other type of unique reward for skyring and fwc. Having the extra credit rewards (the rng ones that were 2x, 3x, and so on) would be good to see too. Fraywind needs to be unequalized with the gear reworked for players below a certain ilvl so they have a chance to survive.
Oh and CS needs to go back to a 5 man queue.
Overall I think a fraywind 1-64 equalised and a 65 un equalised would have benefits.
As you level and gain credits, you also gain PvP experience, you also get to see what each class can do as you progress. So it builds towards endgame PvP. With a 65 only version for the endgame PvP conflate becomes worth while. It also gives some of us PvPers a reason to play again.
I've seen a lot of very experienced and good people leave because of Blueholes decisions. However I still have some hope that down the line Tera PvP will resurrect and be stronger that it has been.
People still queue CS when power hours aren't in effect.
The claim that PH harms queues is false.
Gridiron is bad and you should feel bad.
When spellbound patch came to NA with eq fw you're right the only bg popping was CS. But the q for it during peak times on healer or dps class was typically over 30 min.
That's your option on grid. It's not everyone's!
the only place people que for 'fun' is skyring since there's pretty much no incentive rewards...
so i don't know what you're trying to get at... so far the power hours served the purpose of reviving the dead bgs...
Exactly. Most of the people complaining about power hours have absolutely no idea what the state of the Q times may be and are just talking out their a.ss. The reality is the queue for CS has actually been less outside of PH times than it was before. In december we were looking at 40 minute q times in CS and totally dead everywhere else. Now with PH it's about 15 minutes CS and 3's outside of PH, and then 5 minute queues during PH.
This thread is a really good example of why enmasse needs to be VERY careful about what feedback they listen too. Most of the time complaints have some legitimacy, but you occasionally get ones like this where they are coming from 100% clueless players.
