All I'm seeing from posts like these is basically "I'm fine with it so everyone else should be too. I haven't been pk'd recently so it doesn't ever happen. Just hide out in towns if you want to play Tera." How does that sound at all fair to players who have zero interest in pvp? You say there's no "forcing" here, but you yourself have said that people should just hide out in different channels, or hide out in towns. I don't want to have to hide on my server, I want to enjoy the game. I don't want to have to create a low level character to explore the map, to hang out with friends in hard-to-reach areas. I want to be able to do things like hide-and-seek events without having to constantly look over my shoulder for someone to pop their pk flag and murder me.
There are already people on HW who are excitedly talking about getting a guild together for the merge specifically to pk players, specifically to cause grief. It's "asinine" to think that, because you've had a few good experiences, everyone is the same and everyone will feel the same and have the same experiences as you.
Again, I'm not saying don't merge the servers. I think they need the boost from their near-death states. I'm just saying that there should be an option for the players who don't WANT to be part of that setting. It would be great if there were pvp-specific channels, and pve-specific channels, but from what I've read that doesn't seem to be a particularly feasible option.
Do it, just don't do it in a way that screws over those of us who don't want to be part of a pvp server. Servers were created as PVE-specific and PVP-specific for a reason. There ARE players who enjoy making others miserable. There ARE players who would rather just avoid that scenario altogether.
Just because it doesn't affect you, doesn't mean that others shouldn't be taken into consideration.
I really agree with this. I think that a great way to go about it is to offer Highwatch players a free transfer out before the merge, and close it once the merge hits, then, after the merge, offer players a free transfer TO the newly merged server.
Personally I'd be incredibly weary of this tactic because of what happened with the "free" highwatch transfers (where we were all stuck there for months before we could transfer out), but I think it's a better solution than telling everyone they're SOL.
Yeah you should be quaking in your boots at the thought of highwatch player killers /s
It's not just me who has no trouble with owpvp on MT. I've talked to several of my friends there and it is a nonfactor. You will not have to hide anywhere. I am NOT telling you to hide out in towns. I swear you and the others are being paranoid.
Furthermore, outside of events, where do you go exploring that you haven't already seen in the world of Tera already? I feel like you are making poor excuses. With the huge world of Tera and the literal copies of the world (channels) you have NOTHING TO FEAR. What difference does it make if you are on channel 1 or 3? Explain to me that.
It has already been explained that 95% of the relevant world is protected and that you are very unlikely to encounter another player actively searching for you in the middle of bumfuck nowhere WITH INTENT TO MURDER. If you do pass by someone they will go on their way.
Once again, paranoia and fearmongering. OWPvP in this game is a [filtered] kiddie pool compared to other games. If it were so bloodthirsty all those random people I greeted on MT today in northern arun would have been slaughtered by other people and I wouldn't have the chance to meet them.
I really don't think you dev's understand the lack of endgame on servers other than MT and TR. The same thing that has happened on the servers you are planing to merge has happened on CH. A lot of the good players who did endgame content, and even PVP have left for MT or TR. What has happened is a divide where the more "hardcore" players are on MT and TR, and the more "casual" players on the other servers. This leaves a more dead endgame community on every server aside from MT and TR.
All you will accomplish by merging these servers is to create a new one probably the size of CH, but with even less of an endgame population than CH. Voltron didn't suck Treeshark, this will.
channel 1=place where you see people, be stuck in ghost place is not fun
Except almost the entire world of tera is empty even on channel 1.
if i want to be pked or ganked i could sign in mount tyranna
but anyway we will see what they will do with this feedback i really hope they chose the option for free transfert to people who doesnt want to be in this new server, else good luck with another crisis like in february
no, even on highwatch i see people in open area
Okay where? And if you so much as mention any area in northern arun... smh
No one exists in the open world. We all know that, and yeah Baldur (Madoif) here is 100% correct. @vkobe you should let me known ur ign and we can see how people of HW know you and how much you really know the server also. I consider myself a well known player of HW and from what I've seen and experienced. The server has basically no open world contact watso ever. Even during this current Mongo event. I have ran into like 2 people within the whole period of this event.
What do these areas have in common? They are all areas where players are led along a quest line, of course there is going to be activity in these areas. What about the continent of Shara? Other than the mongo event, most players do not have a reason to be over in those areas as they are not relevant, aka empty world.
what do you want i say, baldera is there, celestal hill is good place to be afk, you can find noxia there, elin capital is there, the best ost is in arun, skywhale live there, it is the only place you can go to a skycastle without to be in a guild with skycastle and in the past southern arun was the best place to farm god tear and blue scarab
