Haha... Team 3s is lit...!
same reason why most fwc premades are full with reapers
CU turnout last week was pretty sad. It is/will be dying shortly.
OWPVP has been dead for a long time, except VO and half the people there are AFK anyway.
There is literally no point to gear for PVP with all bgs staying like this.
Does EME see how they are shooting themselves in the foot with this?
I'm gonna start a business to sell all these salty tears, and make a fortune from it.
I don't know how much power EME has to reverse decisions like this. Would be nice to have some clarification. Gear wasn't really an issue when it came to FWC, so putting it back to equalized seemed like a lazy call.
Conflate gear helped a ton to shorten the gap between people who are decked out in +15 starfall/imp. Yeah, it might not be the strongest, but it's good enough to put you on somewhat even ground against those players. It's pretty damn easy to make too. Even though I say this, people still cry op.
Class balancing was mainly the issue, not the gear. At least IMO.
I hope you are saying that as a joke, the buffs they get from revamp doesn't scale well at all with the eq gears, archers and sorc already can kill others without ease in eq gears if you know what you're doing. The revamp buffing their skills just makes that more apparent. DPS are just going to do more deeps and the eq gears doesn't help to balance all that damage out. Surely, BHS doesn't test anything thoroughly because they will only cater to KTERA's playerbase which is only PvE (they don't know PvP exists) and that means more dps, deeps, DPS, DEEEEEEEEEEPS, and DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPS.
Removal of GvG's and The Alliance
With this change:
Fraywind Canyon will be obsolete
Gridiron already is obsolete
Which means
Top 3 "Battlegrounds" Will be
Corsair Stronghold
Iron Battleground
Kuma Royale
And 2 out of the 3 "Battlegrounds" Don't involve Your character, Your Class, Gear or Abilities.
Kumas and tanks....
While Corsair Stronghold may be equalized, it at least involves you playing your character.
All that's left where gear is meaningful for Pvp is:
Open World PvP (Already Dead)
Civil Unrest (dying)
Team 3's
They really don't care about their Pvp community.
EME definitely does have the ability to change bg's.
Years ago FWC was EQ, they removed it and made it gear based.
Few months ago they changed the ilvl for NA only to get EQ gear.
I am not sure on how much they can change, but they can definitely impliment some changes. and yes clarification would be nice from EME but.... where are you @Spacecats @Treeshark ?
pretty sure quite a few people are thinking the same right about now
You're alive in other threads, could the community get an answer from the head boss regarding this before he leaves? :pleased:
