KUMA BG How its Played vs What it was suppose to be

What makes me laugh is no one plays this the way it was ment to be played.The developers intended for the mama's to meet in the middle and sumo it out (while the littles do what they do) but some how the meta has turned into people just being cowards in the back it makes the game mode take forever and less fun

    Because there is just 2 sec to respawn. If you move out of base, that means u lose %99.9999

    Ppl tend to play what they expect to be the most profitable way.
    While you are right that a 30sec clash in the middle with both mamas would increase the rewards you get overall you miss the point where one side stays in the corner and will win for this reason which increases only their rewards.
    Obviously the other side want to win too and here we are with both sides hiding.

    And yes, ungbug fwc and remove kumas/tanks. They have nothing to do with what pvp can offer in this game. -.-

    all you need to do is damage the enemy kumas till its life is just a bit below your own kumas and then just sit in your spawn and wait for timer, theres no real incentive to go out and do anything.

    i personally along with everyone i know actually enjoy kuma. it frustrates us that its not played correctly. if played correctly it would be more fun it would be based on skill not luck which is what kuma currently is a bunch of luck. on top of that kuma exsisting doesnt take away from pvp at all. first off pvp exist in every form in this game if you havent found it once you get to lvl 65 theres an arena you can fight in. also the pvp server allows for true pvp combat as well as the duel feature. so why is it everyone keeps saying they need better pvp?

    All pvp battlegrounds in Tera are 30% of be matched with the winner team and 80% matched with the loser team. So if you play pvp battlegrounds without a premade, be ready to lose and waste your time.

    The problem what I have with kumas is not that it is somehow a bg where players fight against players (and obviously fullfill the pure definition of pvp), the problem is that I have done duels, 3v3 and fwc with my 26+ skills which I used nearly all in a lot of different cominations skill/glyphsets and after all that fun (and it was a lot of fun) they put this *censored* 4 button babyhunt infront of me with good rewards for nearly no effort which pull away a lot of players from other bgs. Its ridiculous easy to play (only hard is the luckfactor of matchmaking) and makes it rly boring.

    Its like the difference of playing chess or toss a coin to decide the winner. Both works but I like the first one much more.

    Though i agree that the matchmaking is a coin flip it does take some skill to play it. On top of that rewards are only beneficial to players that are under a certain lvl. after that you dont really gain anything from it.
  • G5GACJ7TXTG5GACJ7TXT ✭
    on top of that none of this has anything to do with what i was trying to say haha. I was just saying that the game mode would be way more fun if people would play it right and not hide by the spawn haha.

    What they intended is besides the point. Winning is what matters.

    If they want it to play differently they have to redesign it.

    Also... takes forever?! It's 6 minutes, 9 at worst.

    One BG in WoW will take you at least 15 minutes. It's a very speedy BG.

    For a grand total of 110%? xD

    if you want to win, the boss should stay all the way back at the spawn point the entire time. The farther the opposing team has to run to your boss the better. The longer they run the less time attacking and more time running. At the start of every match I tell my team to attack and not defend, and the boss must stay back at the spawn point. We win more often than not. I repeat those two things several times during the match. I strictly queue solo random groups.

    thats not even the furthest point from their spawn to yours and like i said thats how its played not how its meant to be played. In a perfect world both mamas would be running to the center and attack each other meaning that both groups would run the same distance. As it is now most of the map is unused.

    they need to rework it where if your mamas not in the center of the map you cant do damage to the opposing kuma.

    You realise that the op isn't necessarily right?
    The current design allows strategy. If you could only fight in the middle, it would be simply a DPS race. Not very different from fighting a bam or boss.
