It's highly skillful only if I am able to do a triple kill when I am on the literal other side of the world.
Sick combos you got there.
Because they believe they're just faster and better at timing or being skillful. They blame it all on their personal skill that they can see some guy's skill windup and dodge in the nick of time. Or that other people are just worse than they are and don't dodge their combos.
Like others suggested, just bring back Battleground Power Hour months where they had like Mon, Wed and Fri be 2x FWC; Tues, Thurs and Sat be CS and Sunday just make it one of those random "PvP" battlegrounds like Kumas or tanks. I don't mind the prices of the mats, as it should be worked for, but just give more points through events during what are peak times to get quick queues, and make the popular ones NON EQUALIZED so there is a reason to even want the gear. Also, CS back at 30+ with a better tutorial should be fine.
Until they bring back non-EQ BGs, I'm literally logging in at 8pm, redeeming my Elite gifts and Reward credits, checking broker, then logging out. I'm not doing naything in the game past 3 minutes at a time. And if they don't update by the time this new Archer revamp comes out later in month, I'm cancelling Elite. I've been subscribed and active in Tera since July 2012, and I just now am losing motivation with how terribly Denominator, Spacecat and these clowns are killing their own game. Bring back Treeshark, Tonka and Minea-- You know, people who LISTEN to community and know balance and how to reward long time players.
So getting onto regular good old fashioned battlegrounds, outside the fast leveling Tanks an Kumas experience I honestly don't think BHS and EME give a damn. It's all about getting people to 65 and getting them to spend on cosmetics and be damned with the quality of the pvp side of the game. Lets face it CU is a joke with the in game alliances it should have been set up more like perfect world territory wars or castle wars in other games - instance based between 2 guilds 80 v 80 max. The server have massive issues handling CU when it was packed and it was glaringly obvious.
Until someone is working at the 2 companies that actually sees the value of pvp and does something about it it wont be fixed. EQ gear - great but EQ to what? Blanket stats across all classes help no one - mystics like jaunt, priests like kaias, Warriors like attack speed and classes like/need class specific rolls. Until people in a position to actually change that (and do something about people using pve crystals - a ninja in cs doing 2mil of the crystal in 3 hits of Fire Ava is insane) it wont get any better.
The problems I've seen are:
1) Decrease in FW winning rewards, and change to equalization gear. Solution: If you're not willing to budge on the equalization gear the least you could do is increase the overall winning reward credits back to the way it was or higher. As you can see with the latest bonus reward event. It was enough incentive to get players back in FW. Now that the event is over FW is dead again.
2) Conflate gear is pretty much usless at this point unless you are on a PVP server and are in a guild that participates in civil unrest ONCE a week. Solution: Bring in more PVP content where pvp players can actually utilize their conflate gear. Civil unrest once a week is not enough.
3) The cost of of EVERYTHING in the BC/KS shops most importantly the new ambush materials is severely overpriced. Much higher than previous VM materials cost in the past. Why would anyone in their right mind spend 160/200k on guile gear when they can get it through pve dungeons, or with island of the dawn tokens? Is this a joke? WHY is the enchanting bonanza box still there with tier 9 materials when we are now in tier 11 content?!? These two vendors make me seriously concerned and have me question where did this oversight come from and why are these costs so damn high? Solution: Reduce the cost of these items most importantly the ambush materials. You will see a huge increase in PVP again just by this one change alone.
4) Not being able to que with a group anymore has put a damper in being able to enjoy pvping with friends. You can not get into anything while being in a group. You have to sit and count down from 3 to que up solo at the same time to hope u get into the same bg on the same team. Most times I was on the opposite team as my friends. Solution: Fix this darn bug already!
5) This lag has not helped AT ALL.
