Daimyo

A solution to PvP writs? I hope so.. because they are severly broken atm..

A static chest drops from a fallen foe,

• Everyone who did 40%+ damage to that foe gets access to the static chest
• Everyone who is grouped with someone that did 40%+ damage to said foe (and was in range) gets access to the static chest
• First time the chest is opened, any cash inside is split.
• No infamy or chests will drop if you are in a raid (including a x2). However, a x2 killing a x2 will drop chests/infamy (exactly the same as PvE loot system).

The static chest will drop from 0-3 tokens (as before) and is the same for everyone who loots from that particular chest.

e.g. 2 Freeps kill a Q... static chest drops and "2" tokens are available. Each Freep gets 2 tokens.

The exact numbers in the system can be changed if SoE want to reduce the number of tokens we get per kill, say instead of 0-3, always have 1 token dropping from a asuccessful kill?

I hear Aerilak (sp) changed teh exile requirement, but imo you will still be killing a lot more people than the writ requires making the kill vs. token ratio very poor indeed.

Let me also reitterate the importance of population and availability of targets (it will be even worse for vox/venekor).

Not to mention all those raids running round will get bored and it will be back to normal in a few days (perhaos after the weekend) when everyone has had a play. The the writs will be completed few and far between.

If everyone gets to loot tokens from every chest, thats a LOT of tokens being passed out. Your talking a whole guild being geared up in the new sets within a month. That's just way too fast.

Daimyo

1 token for 1 kill imo is not too fast.. or even 0-1 .. 50% chance for 1 tokens to drop .. if you can get back to open the chest..

As I said, x2 will not get credit for killing solo or hereoic con enemies.

This should limit how fast someone can get a fulls set esp if ~400 tokens = 1 piece of gear. Around 400-700 kill woul dequal to 1 piece then which is a lot of kills tbh.

No pvp changes will ever be made that make life easier on solo players and small groups.

So if you think you have come up with a good idea to "fix" pvp, ask yourself if your idea in any way benefits the solo player or small groups. If the answer is yes, then go back to the drawing board. That is what SOE does.

firamas

why not just make all the new pvp gear available on the vendor with the same system as the original stuff (minimum city faction required, and costs status to buy)?

i mean shit, everyone's looking for the easiest way out here. lets just skip all the foreplay and get right down the naughty business.

or, (and i know this is going to be a wet dream tonight for some of you), we can have PvP armor merchants just sell you their wares for platz. get out the credit cards, girls and boys.

Raiding PvE, or PvPing for days on end, i really have no objection to gear from either source. The fact remains that you should get a feeling of satisfaction from earning the piece, each piece, as you get it. The major difference between buying gear off a merchant with tokens or plat and status vs raiding PvE for gear is huge in the aspect that you can choose which piece will benefit you most on the PvP gear and you cannot so much in PvE. Random drops and drop rates make PvE fabled the harder to get IMO. Add in the fact that city pvp fabled is designed with pvp in mind (ie..stuns, stifles, procs, etc) while pve gear is designed with pve in mind (more hp/resists/skill bonus) then PvP gear is obviously the supierior item. It should not be a 1:1 ratio for kills to attain that. It probably shouldn't even be a 1:3 ratio. Earn your gear, and you'll feel alot more satisfied with the time you spent getting it. Instant gratification is never truly satisfying.

Zacii

They need to make it like kill 25 people, get 5-10 tokens on a random. You dont get updates if you greatly outnumber i.e. no credit for solo's if you are in a group or raid, no credit for groups if your raiding etc.
