    Title says it all. In my honest opinion i shouldn't have to go out and pvp for an hour only to have one zerg destroy me for all of the ap i just made.... It's completely demoralizing and makes ranking up impossible unless you zerg vs. zerg all the time, which is quite frankly not pvp.

    To what amount the reduction is made is not up to my discretion, but i really don't think people should die then respawn only to find out that they just got mugged for all the AP they just made...

    I just made rank 1 today for the first time. Whenever I die I lose maybe like 2.5k AP? Maybe more. I don't really care. It's just AP. But I still make about 5-7 times more AP than I lose by the time I die.

    I think AP lossage is fine how it is.

    i can usually get to rank 1 in a day thats not the problem lol the problem is doubling ap loss every rank i demolish. thank you for actually understanding that the ap loss system is busted.

    how was that in any way shape or form related to the reduction of ap loss because its extremely high? Thanks for the bump?

    You're just mad because you got your confidence steamrolled via forums and now you feel the need to post butthurt responses in each of my topics. Are we stating blatantly obvious truths now?

    Really, AP and ranks are an IMPORTANT part of a PVP server. Still, when you gain ranks, it's obviously that you should lose more AP.

    The thing is... VIP should triple AP gain, while it only doubles it. Also, as a matter of face, it doubles the AP you lose/death, which shouldn't happen.

    It's that high because at that high of a rank you're expected to do work and actually kill people. Your punishment for sucking and dying is a loss of that much AP. Just kill more. It's okay.

    Again, you can't comment on this logically because you have no idea what its like to be crushed by 30 elmos and laugh and then realize you just lost an hours worth of AP. I guarantee you i would crush you in a 1v1, and As dranny said, VIP rates should be tripled not doubled, and i thought i told you to go download some perspective.

    I'm not quite sure where you get all this "you can't" stuff from. I'm just lol'ing at the fact that AP means that much to you. I honestly don't care if I get steamrolled, or if you could beat my ass 1v1. It's just a game bro. You could duel me to your heart's content and win every one and I'd still lol at you cause it means so much. Stop trying to sound so tough <3

    The next is with VIP.
    Rank 1 = 5k ap loss
    1-star = 10k ap loss
    2-star = 13k ap lsos
    3-star = 17k ap loss
    4-star = 23k ap loss
    5-star = 27k ap loss
    General = 43k ap loss (lol +16?)
    great general = 70k ap loss (lol +27?)
    commander = 100k ap loss (>*.*>) <(*.*)><(*.*<)

    Seriously, why does the ap loss after 5-star sky rockets? i would be fine if it would go up by like 4k each rank or hell even 10, but not this shit.

    Now let's see how you all like this AP loss when playing a cloth char and get zerged first everytime.

    As I said, the only problem is with VIP accounts that don't gain as stated and lose double the AP than a non-VIP person.

    Thats what im saying. Im a sorc, and i can hold my own.. But seriously???? 30 people just run over me and im left with no ap on the day? lets be honest here. thats bullshit.

    The guy above me put to exact numbers what i was saying, i agree that the ap gain is busted, but you cant look at that ap loss scaling and tell me thats logical, much less fair. D:
