VALLEY OF HIGHWATCH'S TEARS!

I'm crying rn

For players who chose a PVE server, open world PvP can be distressing even if only at 65.

Our suggestion:
Players at 65 can opt into pvp or neutral, which then they would be locked into that choice for X days. PvP can PK others and get PKed. Neutral would be immune to this but cannot PK others. There would be some indicator like outlaw that shows who's a PvPer and who's neutral.

(edited: permanent choice -> long-term but changeable option for pvp / neutral. Just long enough that people don't abuse this for safety then turn on pvp when they want to go offensive)

I second this. I hate the idea of total constant PvP on. I'll have to go hang out in alliance territory just to avoid the stress.

people are being so narrow minded about this topic. Highwatch PvE players say they don't want to be merged with a pvp server. But why?

Would you rather sit in the unpopulated mess that is your server currently is? For what reason? The chances of engaging in owpvp as a PVE player is rather ridiculous. If you're hunting world bosses, there's like, 15 channels to choose from. It would be literally the same as doing it on a pvp server. Most of them just afk in towns, anyways. What's the big deal?

I mean, I understand that some people don't even like the IDEA of it, but being a very vocal minority could be detrimental to the players who NEED a merge. Sometimes you need to take a step back and think "What is the best for this community as a whole, and not just myself." Because this game has been dying for quite some time now. And not having the ability to experience the game to its fullest again is why it's dying.

Why people like you are so narrow minded about this topic. We WANT merge, we just DON'T want to have OWPvP, cause that's why we choose PvE server...

Because we do not want to be involved into PvP. Not all of us are doing IoD dailies. A lot of people are doing "Rooted in Alchemy" etc... A lot of people are still gathering materials for crfating and they would like to be safe while doing so. And I find calling the ones not willing to PvP "narrowminded" quite offensive.

HW players do want a merge, but not all of us want to merge into something PvP related. There should be a choice. Believe me, chances to be involved into PvP on that new server will be very high. Look how much we are harassed here on forums already because we do not want to go into PvP... For you it might not be a big deal, but for some people it is.

It is not that players of HW are opposing the merge. It's more like we are discussing possible solutions, which will be acceptable for the most of us. The ones that want to stay out of PvP are far from being a minority... According to what you posted I can only conclude you are not from Highwatch.

Some people said it themselves and keep insisting that PVP server's OWPVP is dead or has a really low impact. So what's the issue here? Then make the new server a PVE server since I can see all pvp players agree that OWPVP has little to no impact at all on everyone and basing on these facts, another PVP server would be useless.

do i get gear progression from open world pvp?

i'm sure you don't. so what is the point of having it besides giving stress to people. all i want is a server with my friends in it, and it so happens that i almost know everyone in highwatch. merge us and you kill the game for a large number of people and cause anxiety. #keephighwatchdead

I'm going to try to clear one thing up for everyone...

[ ! ] >> If Enmasse plans to merge Highwatch, Valley of Titans and Lake of Tears.... Yes, it would be a PVP server, but PVP would be restricted to LV 65 only (unless there was a duel). That means, no PKing, no Outlaw Declaration, no anything of that sort. Just a PVE server to LV 1-64, and 65 is OW PVP (Dis-including safe zones). << [ ! ]

Please understand that.
... Not everyone in TERA is out to kill you every moment you leave the safe zone.

At current state, merger of 3 servers will bring a handful of benefits.
If merge only LoT & VoT we might see another merger pretty soon. Both server have same problem, same vibrant of player & playstyle.
One of the reason that HW still having a positive sign of new player base is because of the PVE tag.

Server merge is a sort of declaration, showing how your player base & game is falling apart and decaying. That's why we need to make it right in one go and avoid future conflict or the need for another merger in near future.

HW need endgame veteran, which I doubt LoT/ VoT can offer much.
LoT/ Vot need a surge of player. and HW have the number.

Why don't we consider a merger of 3 server into PVE server? Like most pvp player advice, you can avoid open pvp with a cost of daily precaution and some minor restriction. Then we might as well remove the pvp. The core issue: population and endgame contents, not pvp activity.

I doubt it could be implemented, but just make it so "channel 1" can't be PvPed on then all the extra channels allow PvP. Then non PvPers don't have to worry about being ganked and PvPers can still go kill each other, just on another channel.

What if the number of characters I have from 3 servers exceed the limit of 16? Do not suggest to delete some of them until there are 16 remaining who knows how much effort i paid to develop all of them.
Would empty character spaces be carried off?
What if I have different UI setting on every server, Which UI setting will be applied?
What if I have bank slot extended on every server, will you refund me because there cannot be 12 tabs of bank slot in one server?
What about Vanguard Calendar?

Please consider these situations.

Stop forcing PVE players to want what you PVP players want coz we're not forcing you to play on a PVE server and are actually willing/considering to just have a free transfer to another lowest populated server like AV OR just leave HW be but since you guys are being so considerate and your way of thinking is so balanced. I have another opinion you will probably not like either.

So "basically", being an "OUTLAW" on a PVP server is like a duel and or a massive pvp only it is random. Then there's the answer! If you want to pvp 1v1, go duel like in PVE servers and if you want massive PVP, queue battlegrounds or GVG like in PVE servers, those things are there for a reason, either way there will still be PVP and not hassle PVE players who doesn't want to do PVP. SO PRACTICALLY, THE NEW SERVER SHOULD PRETTY MUCH BE A PVE SERVER coz it already has the same content except for the random unwanted pvp.

U can't PvP on PvE server, but u can PvE on PvP server, got it?

yes you can, you invite someone to pvp, he can agree or no

Could you please read the third paragraph of treeshark again and try to really understand it?
nvm, i'll just tell you that he did say that the solution they agreed at is "NOT" in stoned yet because the majority of the player council who agreed on it aren't even in those three servers(HW,LoT,VoT) so that's why we're here giving our own solutions to that problem.

Yea, what happens to the items/gold in my bank on the servers as well.

do you will keep the same message if one day they turn mount tyranna into a pve server ?
