Ok bring on the haters, but I now believe (post lavastorm madness) that my championed pvp system is indeed a vast improvement....
The system now rewards those that acyually pvp...an awful lot. It does not reward avoiding pvp..which was the overiding case before. On docks the other day I actually saw an Onyx healer pop swindle fate...he held off an attacking 6 or so players for 15 secs or so. Now consider say a Brig popping such lameness vs a scout pre update for a GUARANTEED LAME IWIN...That is exactly what was wrong with the old system. In that situation the beaten scout would have lost fame and felt bad...and not be ENJOYING the GAME at that moment. Of course I was the one that told everyone not to use such miracles or tactics and in fact got very mad at a group member that did once...but of course 99% of the server still had that "fucking fame cow riding their ass"
In the past I may have sat at docks while a x8 of fp / exile hung around with only token Q scrubs present. I would not have moved (bar occaisional touring). Now..? At least I may try to busrt one dead and have a little fun (of course not working on the Onyx grps ive tried lol but a few Europa etc die and Ill get lucky one day). Ill fight the 3 Darkhand titled and win...I would never have tried before. So..im pvping...others are pvping...many are actually coming BACK...ive seen DDH returning..ive had many tells over past month from old players......I STILL see the big names are all here.
So to you elitists that say this ruined your game cry more. Ya its cool to say fame decay sux, you get kudos when you say it..you hang with the big boys...gg. Everyone will also say Connery is the best bond...when thinking about it..avoiding hype and expected responses you will realise it was Brosnan....comprende....
The best system would have been to somehow make you only loose/gain fame in a near fair fight. The dynamics of this I do not know, but thats why I am not a game developer
No no Froglegg a fame whore as before USED MIRACLES AS OUTLINED...used choker...ran stacked etc etc. So even tho you could never describe me as a whore yes I did not like to lose fame to lame tactics...it made me feel bad...so the current system is an improvement for me for sure...im seeing far more fights. And we set up grp v grp too, just tried grp onyx in cl...so its all there if you want it....
After one week with no kills, and only being one fame hit into Hunter, I am STILL Hunter. You cannot get unranked anymore it seems. This is retarded. I hate giving scum Qs fame and always took pride in keeping my title down, now that's impossible. So the people being "rewarded" according to Galoro (ranger with a myth) seem to be the dock camping scummers.
Most pvp has always been at the docks in the past under any system. I roam too and with the new quests in ROK zones find much pvp. However on tours with little found...coming back to KP docks often produces action...which is what were after...right...
Yes you may think these Dock campers with overseer who you hadnt heard of in pvp before patch are worthless. They pvp tho...an AWFUL lot. Thus they are rewarded for pvping..in my book this is worth more than the old bought/exploited/stacked Overseers. Far more importantly..lesser players are now enjoying themselves and feel some worth..thats what soe was after imho. Keep your elitism...rest of us can have fun.
Watched some Qs get their rewards rezzing as much as 4 times in one fight to get their rewards. Wonder how high their titles would be if the Q rez point was the same distance from the docks as ours?...
