Suggestion Allowing GM's to be more Involved

Firstly let me start by saying this is not a complaint about the current level
of involvement that our GM's are doing I've had the opportunity to talk with
most of them and have been assisted by them as well. I'll take this moment to
give thanks to them and all their hard work.

NOTE:I could not find any post about the varying levels of involvement the GM's can do in game, not on the forum and not in the discord so, below I will be Outlining the reasoning in sections for this post and how it will help with improving future game play and player satisfaction (to some degree) along with alternative suggestions.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS!!!

SECTION ONE: The Elyos Situation


It's a very well known fact that the Elyos faction is in a very odd state with a plethora of issues that we the players have to solve on our own (I'll only be mentioning one, I would list them but that is not the main point of this post and i can make another post if warranted and the on going fight that me and other self proclaimed leaders of the Elyos faction are trying to do the mitigate and fix) but, if i do not mention it, it's hard to understand why this forum is being made The Elyos Participation in PvP content is to be blunt quite abysmal with a lot of afk players, a lot of afk Gamezcoin Farmers, players in different time zones. Etc. Etc. This situation has lead to a inflated player number to our Elyos faction i believe in the stats currently Elyos is the faction with the most player numbers yet we are the weakest by far this is supported by the current Influence number shows this. This is a huge problem for a certain group of people The active PvP players in PvP the Elyos are the faction is usually out numbered 4:1 (2:1 if we have the player numbers) now the only time this is not the case is during non event times and random PvP on the PvP map this will possibly (if not already) cause Elyos players to grow frustrated and either quit participating or worse quit the server all together i would like to prevent this and this post is my hope to do so.

SECTION TWO: The Proposal

My Solution to this Is to give our current Game Masters the ability to Bless the outnumbered faction in real time to allow for a fighting chance not a winning chance below i will show and explain how this will work

SECTION THREE: THE GM'S DUTY AND RESPOSIBILITIES

The GM designated (Decided internally by admins and GM's) or currently online during the time of Open world PvP Events (As posted on the official GameZ Website) will be given the power to BLESS(BUFF) The heavily outnumbered faction with what I call "GM Mark" The Mark will be classified into 3-4 sections
MARK I (One): General PvP Defense stat increase
MARK II(Two): A slight Increase to previous PvP Defense Stat and the addition of PvP Attack
MARK III(Three): A Moderate Increase to PvP Defense and Attack
MARK IV(Four): A Significant Increase to PvP Defense and Attack
The GM At the time will be able given the fool authority to change or remove buff as they deem fit and the buff can only be used on the map associated with the scheduled event. This buff is only to encourage the opposing players that are actively trying to enjoy the event and not be repeatedly rolled over just for having fewer active players online.

SECTION FOUR: ALTERNATIVE IDEAS AND IMPLEMENTATIONS

Below is a List of some other ideas I came up with they could work in place or conjunction.
(1)Have GM's PvP alongside of faction as the 13th Empyrean Lord (Via Candy Morph Like Xforms)
(2)13th Empyrean Lord Candy can be given to a player instead if the GM's and admin wish to continue neutrality
(3) The Current PvP Buff given to the Outnumbered faction can be revamped to where the Invader system is Permanently active (or timer extended) to allow the losing faction to gain the max Invader stat buff easily

SECTION Five: CLOSING REMARKS

Before I join the server I research which faction i should join I first went to discord and was told the Elyos are hurting for players. I had checked the website before hand and also the discord role selection and saw they out numbered the Asmo faction not by a lot but enough to were they should always be slightly ahead. I joined the server; joined the faction and I found out why fast. Now time skip There was an RVR Event 3-4 months ago where the Asmo's outnumbered the Elyos by double their numbers now they doesn't seem too bad when you take into account this is RVR and the whole faction should be participating if they have the time but the PvP Info Tab showed ELYOS: 40 ASMO: 83 Against those overwhelming odds it was a guaranteed lost but it was enjoyable PvP Now time skip again to earlier today (April 3rd 2026, In Heiron for PvP Boss) it showed ELYOS:13, ASMO:35 almost 3x our numbers and it definitely could have been, but didn't have time to check while running for my life

We Elyos just want a fighting chance and an opportunity to enjoy the PvP boss and getting kills out of losing drops we know its a losing fight but without the opposition it would be a less fun time for both sides. Its my desire for this post to be reviewed for consideration and my hope the player base supports some of my ideas, I also hope both Asmo and Elyos can benefit from this fail safe idea if this starts to be a problem for the Asmodian Faction as well

In Good Faith -Embark​

 

Not bad, but Asmo are complaining about the buff of outnumbered players on elyos side on pvp map, how much more if GM implement this thing...

 

Thanks for replying and Yes thats why with an active GM monitoring the battle while online they can implement controls as needed for both factions and the buff will only be active during scheduled events(Like PvP Boss, or agent battles) not at all times on pvp map.

I for one think we're really close with the current Auto buff system that they have implemented but unfortunately it's just not enough against the number disparity sometimes.

 

I also Thought of pitching a new job position to keep the workload separate from GM's that solely focus on the PvP battles (Like GameSage[GS] or something along those lines) that way GM's can continue focusing on their current workload and players know who exactly to direct questions comments and issues too without getting them mixed up

 

Asmos are killing the game with that thinking. That buff gives a slight chance of the very few pvps a slight chance at pvping. Doesnt help its 50 to 10. all the time too. Also when asmos "pvp" and the numbers even out. They dip because they start dying.

 

Proof i read your book and voted

 

I hate to burst your bubble, but this isn't going to happen.

Over the years, GM's involvement in active pvp was never a thing in the history of gamez.

Also, their responsibilities are only within the agreed scope of the Title itself. If you know how the GM system works here you'll understand this.

 

Trust me you won't burst my bubble, I want reply and Inputs and Buzz. I did mention in the beginning that i could not find any source with a List of jobs and things GMS are responsible for. and i did recommend other things that could possibly work, if GameZ wanted to continue with a more neutral hands off option

 

Could possibly work, sure and that's truly appreciated.

However, these things you've mentioned involving a GM's presence is pretty much the downside here. Forget about the biases of the GMs, it's more of an Internal, or should I say "Management" kind of thing.

I wish I could share more information, but I will let someone from the staff team give you the information you're looking for, because although I was one of them, I no longer am, therefore the information I could give you is very limited.

 

The elyos "leaders" are a joke. The audacity of you to make this post is hilarious.

For months the leader of the elyos have been telling their faction to not participate in events. We all see the screenshots of elyos spamming in LFG things like "Do not join any events such as dredgion, runa, jorm, kamar or pvp boss to spite asmo". This nonsensical rhetoric is what is hurting the server.

You telling your faction not to participate for months and then making this post is a joke. You fabricate a terrible attitude in your faction and then demand buffs and items to remedy the situation you created your self. The current race buff is already too much. You gain 5k HP, 500 MB 100 ATK, 400 Healing Boost, etc etc.

Stop asking for admin intervention, you are ruining the game.

The solution is to have leaders that encourage and help their faction to fight. Bring your faction together, teach people how to PvP, don't leave them in the dark. The current self proclaimed leaders think telling their faction not to participate in anything is a good idea.

 

Facts

 

It's alright the information I could obtain was really good though limited and I really rather not get GM's Involved without good reason what I really want is to save the Losing factions PvP scene before it's too late and everyone loses motivation to even try I believe this is our 7th straight day of losing PvP Boss drops(Since i returned to the server) which is okay it's part of the game but losing by a complete wipe everytime due to numbers advantage is just too discouraging.

 

well i see where your coming from and I don't know about those screenshots I for one do know i would never say such things but I do understand why and where they are coming from you gotta think, this has been an on going issue for the elyos faction for more than just months and if i remember what someone told me correctly (because i played well after this) the Asmos had the same issue at one point.
I'm not sure how the issue was fix since I wasnt around during that time period but I can understand that if whatever they tried to do as a fix backfired and are now hesitant any touching this topic again without through thought into is understandable But simply disregarding all our efforts without offering a solution to the problem. that could in turn happen to the asmo's later on. and the racial buff is alright but i don't know what racial buff your referring too but im gonna assume its the one that appears when we are out numbered but that buff does nothing against 40+ people which is what I'm trying to emphasize the server will hurt a lot more if every elyos who barely goes pvp just tired all together your basically tell us to Shut up take your losses like a man and let us farm pvp bosses in peace for the next 3 months and yes we can get krobans from Makarna or maybe from the occassional siege that we win from the asmos time difference but peoples mental are not gonna last that long if faced with constant lost with no attempt at fixing it

 

i dont wanna sound to harsh but asmos last year had 7 consecutive months where elys outnumbered us 1:3 pretty much and yet here we are, i dont really think gm support is a solution and realistically the only way to get out of this situation honestly is to bring some numbers back, i do wanna believe they are still there just gotta find out a way to call them back and even out or surpass asmo numbers. Also wanna point out that at least pvp buff imo is a decent attempt on trying to balance things when it is really one sided, yet it still needs improvements with afkers and the scale of pvp combat at which it should apply

 

That I can agree with but idk who's willing to come back a lot said they would after reset so i'm being hopeful, but tbh after everything I heard today from both sides I don't have a lot of will power left the people i do message on discord don't feel bothered to come back and the one's who are on the fence said they'll come back once race balance problem is fix so I got my hands tied atm if there was a way to bring people back and also get the AFK's to play I would do that
And also what you said isn't harsh but the truth i just don't know what you guys did to fix it if your willing to share I'd be happy to attempt it

 

its because some of elyos been transferred to asmo atleast 20 or 30 that time to make it balance. Well you can ignore this it was way way back.

 

restricting ur problems just to transfers is not serious honestly, they do happen from time to time and i was here to see many of them in both ways, again u for sure got more numbers out there, just gotta try and bring them back
