Pvp itself doesnt change a thing the only difference between a pvp an a pve sv is that in a pvp server at lvl 10 you receive a skill that let you pvp open world but doesnt work nears dungeons entrances and iod even camps are safe. and also u can chance ch. So you can do your quests without expecting someone around pking. ............
And of top of that nowadays no one do open world pvp its only outside low lvl towns such as lumbertown even cresentia everything else is pretty much dead
sincerely i dont care, i just want to be afk in open area or loliotaku just want to gathering in peace with his 10 felicities, it is what we sign when we join pve server
Nothing will change. People will just gather with alts under level 65.
Like some said, they try to make it a unique server, a hybrid server as the sell point.
Unfortunately, some players, who initially started TERA because of pure PVE element will force to be the test subject in this new hybrid server. No matter how you describe a PVP server, it'll always come with a restriction of safe zone and kill zone, you are force to willing participate in owpvp.
Also, I read some players telling owpvp is dead and 3 years without getting pk, which make me question, why PVP severs even exist atm or why they join a PVP server. If no one actively participate owpvp, there is no point of creating another server with owpvp element. Just a question.
Anyway, the Hybrid server might work, but you need consider the player who initially choose TERA because of PVE experience and game play. New game or bigger title being release from time to time, unique idea such as hybrid server is actually crucial to outshine the competition in this saturated market.
loli do it with level 65 reapers and you need to be 65 to get the maximun gathering level
Actually I've been in parties where we've waited for someone who didn't have a tp scroll, even through instance matching. Not everyone is an impatient [filtered]. As long as they're vocal that they're on their way and will be just a minute I've never had a party kick someone who was coming, even if they had to run there. And why should players be forced to hide out in towns when they want to go out and explore, or if they wanted to participate in openworld events like the one we have going on now? It's totally unfair to those of us who should be able to fully enjoy the game in a laid back environment like the one we originally chose.
You're fine with pvp? Great! Awesome! More power to you. Not all of us like it, some of us are easily frustrated by it and that's why we CHOSE to play on a PVE server. We made that decision because it is what we are comfortable with. This attitude that many have of "Oh I like it so you need to suck it up too" is honestly disgusting. Many of us aren't saying "No don't make a server merge" because a lot of us can all agree that it would be a great thing to boost the servers that aren't doing well.
What we're asking for is some sort of alternative for players who don't WANT to be in a pvp server. Why is it so hard for people to fathom that we just want compromise?
I don't think I can do that :c
I just did this like an hour ago :u Couldnt you have gone and checked yourself
Players aren't being forced to do anything. I literally went to MT this morning and ran around northern arun greeting people and getting nice responses. I went to velika outskirts to hang with the pvp duelers. Hell I even went afk to make biscuits and gravy. I came back and I was still alive. From there I explored the world to my heart's content without anyone troubling me.
It's asinine to think that Highwatch's laidback atmosphere is any different from MT.
All I'm seeing from a lot of people is ignorance and fearmongering. A lot of what-ifs and no real data to back it up.
Have you realised that more and more of the better players transferred out of Highwatch? Quite a bunch of PvErs and PvPers pretty much transferred to MT despite it being a PvP server. Reason? Market inflation, lack of players to do content, Primal being completely stupid about PvP stuff (I kid. This wasnt the point). It was the stage where they RATHER go to a PvP server just because their PvE is way better. And MT does have many of the best PvE players too.
I have characters on MT, HW, TR and AV, with an alt in CH to chat with someone. My first character however moved to HW from LoT during the free transfer period due to interest in new server economy. I IMS with my characters on all my servers, and half of the players who I had to end up kicking because of bad attitude and worse than newbie gameplay unsurprisingly came from Highwatch. As such I am not surprised there is so much fuss when other players come in to burst their bubbles.
As I have mentioned way earlier in the thread, LoT and VoT players [b]combined[/b] do not surpass Highwatch by volume. They needed a third server to keep them alive. And the reason why MT should not be put into the picture is that there will be way too many conflicts as well as server management if the PvP servers merge. That is the main reason why the lesser servers are merged. I would say this, that if the three servers merge, I wont really care if it is PvP and PvE and will transfer over if its economy is good (if it is pvp then my conflate set will be put into slaying reds anyway), but I know that 2 is greater than 1, so odds lie on the highwatch people even though they are the larger group.
I am sure if the new server is PvE, most of the OWPvPers will QQ about being the minority few about having no way to pvp people openly. (Btw Deathmatch is a little bugged), and they would transfer to MT. The idea is not to bring players out but bring players IN the new eventual server.
The divide of PvE is the biggest problem EME has set for themselves. I dont know about the rest, but I got used to being ganked early on so it has nearly no impact on me. But if everyone has the nonchalant attitude about the PvP sector which will go through a major revamp in the times to come, then I will probably say there will be even more problems in the future.
Things to note of:
Highwatch is one of those servers where you can get ranked in skyring just by losing 1 game. While crusade is going to be over, at least you have that in mind
All the three server's top guilds have left for MT and TR, and it is known that there are some pure PvP guilds who moved to TR and some pure PvE guilds who moved to MT.
Main reason for transfers are the same regardless of server: lack of players, trash tier economy, no runs to do dungeons/battlegrounds with
Highwatch has the most players of the three, but has also the least skilled players in percentage in all the three servers regardless of PvP or PvE. That means loads of casuals who would survive better in CH.
Highwatch used to have a largerthanexpected amount of RP. And also the most trashtalkers in global hence the name Saltwatch. I sort of blame my ex guild for this but that is besides the point.
Many of the PvP mains in VoT and LoT too left for MT already.
Soooo many people on LT/VT complain about needing a server merge, but you're right that no one specifically asked to be with HW, haha.
It would definitely be nice to be able to transfer to PVE servers though. It seems to be the most reasonable choice since a nice chunk of players are worried about it.
All the smart ones left already. So many complaints about end-game and economy come from HW. At least, from what I gather from immigrants to MT.
Let's face it. MT sucked in too large of a chunk of players from every server. Me included.
Celestial Hills Roleplay PVE
Ascension Valley PVE
Highwatch PVE
Tempest Reach PVE
Mount Tyrannas PVP
Lake of Tears PVP
Valley of Titans PVP
3 pvp and 3 pve...2 pvp servers are being merged because they are severely dead...so that means theres only 1 pvp server thats crowded...
Whereas all 3 pve servers are crowded...only problem with HW is that the playerbase that it had suddenly stopped playing late last year...The point is majority of players favor pve servers over pvp, therefore if you want to appease the majority like you do when choosing which race to assign new classes to then you need to favor the pve players...Unfortunately the best option here would be to merge VOT and LOT and not HW with them...a merge of HW with either AV or TR is the only realistic option I see.
