PVP writs updated with 20 min timer - Page 8

Obtaining mythicals takes a heap loads of sustained raid dps. I only know of two pvp server based guilds atm that can generate and sustain that kind of dps. I already said I suspect it will be 2 to 3 months before anyone besides kraken or onyx kills nexona 2.0.

On a side note:

I find it interesting that a single Onyx group can go out to Kylong Plains, make every group/raid evac and sit in immunity.

Talk about zone control. ;)

If you could drive those guilds out of the zone, then we'd really have something. Even leveling up when Nagafen came out in Qeynos (when FP was dominating in virtually every tier), I can remember the joy of banding together and taking back zones like EL or SS so that your faction could gain a leveling edge for whatever time you could hold the zone. It really added an objective to PvPing as a RvR. Now, there's really no incentive to work with anyone outside your group or guild.

Hmmmmmm.... I'm unsure if u guys have even seen the pvp "armor". It's probably the worst designed gear I've ever seen. I have yet to hear a single class say, " damn what an awesome set bonus". i also understand that most of the fabled gear in ROK is all fucked up, but i mean honestly, if u pvp raid for anything more than some jewelry a weapon or shield , your a fucking twat. Oh, and one last side note, they should just fix the arena, move it to a contested zone, and allow u to watch in the stands, "BAM!!!" all titles huggers and scrubs will be quickly sorted out, and u can actually claim a solid victory.

commence flame...

I'm not sure if you've seen the VP set "armor"... it has even shittier bonuses than the PvP sets in most cases...

what the set gear DOES have is excellent mitigation & stats, with some decent crit/haste/DA effects too. If you just pretend the set bonuses on the VP/PVP armor aren't there (which is a shame, but whatever) then they are still decent pieces of armor behind that.

Please, in the future read the entire post. thank you

firamas · 03-17-2008, 01:18 PM

no, i most certainly read it. the point of -my- post was that poor set bonuses do not automatically make a suit of armor bad. you can shit all over the set bonuses for both the VP or the PVP armor, but aside from those they are still pretty decent items in most cases and about what I would expect from a "VP armor set" if you asked me before the expansion came out.

the real problem is the fucked up itemization in T1-3 that introduces so many powerful items that people dont even want to wear most of their set armor. when you put amazing effects and bonuses on the shit that's easy to get, of course people are going to be kind of miffed at the supposedly "endgame" armor that's coming from zones like VP.

so as long as were clear that sony is completely fucking retarded.

The 3 biggest "issues" with eq2 (via posts)

1. All classes for factions on pvp servers.

2. "PVP" Writ system.

3. rok gear related issues. ( epics/pvp gear/VP gear)

.... and if u look in the last update, the big "fix" was the guardian ability: Overpower can no longer be used while stunned/stifled. Now tell me sir, WHO IN THE FUCK HAS EVER MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THAT?

I hope it was like that for you all day and all night long. I am glad you are enjoying your time outside the pvp system.

A side note on a side note: They should make the cool-downs on the writs an hour long so I can watch an entire episode of Deadwood/Weeds/The Wire etc while I wait on the docks for the writ timer. This pausing my entertainment to go find a Q group is annoying!

Sony has a hard time coming up with good set bonuses. My 3 piece vp bonus is pretty amazing whereas my 7 piece is so beyond worthless that it is laughable. The swash pvp 3 piece is pretty awesome. So not all pvp bonuses are useless.

I still have 0 of my set pieces. Old silverwing and hoshkar have been pretty stinghy.
