I _want_ you and everybody else who pvps at our shard (after trying it out for a while) to tell us what they do not believe is balanced. And if you find something - and we test it - and it is not balanced, then we will fix it. What I am refering to now is however the weapon damage and the armors though, not the pvp style in general, that is already very balanced, it just takes a little time to get used to. Of course we will listen to the pvp style questions as well, but things like "add fizzling on hit" or "make some armors resist magic spells better" will imbalance the whole pvp system that we have built up, and that is why we try to explain in an nice way why that can not be changed. We also try to encourage you all to try our the PvP a lot before trying to change it, because we have seriously played it for more than 8 years and we would not like it so much if it was messed up, imbalanced, or sucked so badly. It is just hard to get used to for somebody who is used to something very different since before I suppose. =/
The way you may like it.
Jimmar Wrote:I pm'd you hopefully we can come to agreement maybe give things a try..more melee less spell spam?I will listen to your suggestions, but I will also let you observe a duel between two of our best fighters, only to show you that when people who KNOWS this PvP fights the fight is so much more than just spells. It is probably 50-50 with spells and weapon damage in such a fight, and that is what you want the pvp to be like - isn't it?
Ok anyways, we are all working towards the same goal here - to make everybody love the PvP. I want them to love it - you want them to love it - everybody wants to love it! - yes? So the idea of changing my name to GM Love may not be such a bad idea, love is after all a good thing, but for now I'll stick to this one
Keep giving suggestions as in what weapons that are imbalanced tho. And keep telling us ideas of how to improve the PvP even further if you have any ideas. But my biggest wish is for you to do three things before you do this..
1. PvP vs somebody who knows the PvP and let him teach you how it works, see if that changes your mind regarding the PvP.
2. Try out the weapons. See if they really are that imbalanced.
3. Watch two real good players fight and watch if the PvP is still too much about magic and not enough about melee.
After you've done these things (and this goes for all you players wanting to change the PvP) feel free to give me suggestions, because then you will have good reasons and understanding of the PvP, when trying to change it, and then it will be sooo much easier to discuss regarding how we can make it BETTER, instead of changing it to something that will just ruin the whole XUO feeling =/
Thanks for listening to my post, hopefully it has helped you understand what I mean at least a bit more..
