Race-wide PvP buff.

Why is it here?
I haven't been able to play since the GP update because every time I log in the Elyos have a 15-20% pvp buff, because everyone is capping every worthless fortress... Is there no way to reset some things (like lower abyss/roah...) to balaur controlled to keep the PvP buff away?

I've spent a lot of time on this server and truly believe it's far better then any of the other servers and (at times) better then official aion... Yet until the enemy race has their 20% PvP buff removed I have to find another server.

I'd be able to accept the buff if it was just for the zerge-zones, but even the 1v1/mixfight/ffa arenas get the PvP buff.

Edit:
I should add that I meant set to balaur permanently, not after a siege where people have gotten their GP. If a single person is legitimately effected by not being able to run lower fort sieges I will give them a 10/10 godstone.

 

Hi,

the major way to get GP is through fortresses sieges. Which is why "everyone is capping every worthless fortress". The pvp buff appears only when a faction has very low influence, and helps them to get those fortresses back, and to reduce the "power" difference due to the existence of a lot more player in the dominating faction.

So if i understand well, you're asking us to let 1 faction dominate the other and to reset the fortresses so you guys can crush them a little more, farm more GP; but never get any debuff?

Don't think this is going to happen; the existence of this pvp buff is needed, and it's your fault as an asmodian player if it has been activated.

Happy Gaming.

 

See it as an exchange. If Elyos fail to capture forts you get a lot of GP and they get a PVP buff to get back on track.
And to be honest all we've been doing is losing forts so..

 

If they gave a ridiculous amount of AP I might be able to understand that reasoning, but they don't even do that. They give GP which is used for nothing but a literally useless rank that is purely a status-symbol.
And most of the abyss forts are truly worthless for everything but GP (no clue how much GP they even give), their instances are worthless and I remember a single group capping Sulfur Fortress a long time ago on official NA aion.

To say the fortresses actually matter because they give a status-symbol commodity is in my opinion rather outrageous. To then say it's my fault, as an asmodian player, does nothing but make me mad. I've attended none of the sieges, nor do I intend to. Nor could I do anything to stop it, I can't enter FFA-Rogue mode and kill asmos, I can't make elmos attend, I can't stop people doing something so their PvE-gained status symbol is raised.

Hell, I honestly wouldn't even mind that much if the PvP buff was left in the main zones where the eternal zergeVzerge is fighting. But to have it on all PvP, 1v1 arenas, ffa arenas, mixfight arenas, is outright ludicrous.
And I'd even change to the 'dominated' faction, elyos, if it didn't cost 15days worth of voting/$15 to transfer.

 

If you don't like the way GP and AP points work go complain to NCsoft

Yes GP points are a show-off, but it gives more possibilities to the game. I personally like fortress siege because it's about team work and people now actually join them.

 

ye...ye...ye...ye be asmodians. ASMODIAN POWER like POWER RANGERS.......

 

Lol I remember that legion back from 2011. I remember all they did was camp the exit of Elyos rifts in Asmodae and waited for people to teleport through them so they could jump them XD

 

I don't really have a problem with GP. I have a problem with what GP has done to a 'pvp' private server.
If I wanted to siege I'd do it on official, where there's even more players, less ping, less bugs, less lag...

I'm on gamez for the pvp, through 1v1 arenas, mixfight or the zergefest.
I also have a problem with how the 'races are unbalanced' buff works; it bases it on how many people attended ANY fortress siege, even if there's an equal amount of people it will be applied. (in my experience the zergeVzerge is usually fairly balanced in numbers, it just fluctuates, one has more then the other does 20minutes later.) This was fine in the days where the best way to get gear was through those fortresses...

At the very least some way to exclude the PvP buff from the 1v1/mixfight/FFA arenas would be extremely good. (none of those 3 are affected in any way by how many forts are captured... even tiny amount of gp for wins or something would be amazing, but I doubt it'd happen.)
Either way, off to official until people stop capping everything.

 

Yeah that's what I thought too when GP was introduced, I thought that since gamez is a PVP server and people no longer wanna go to mix or FFA cause it only gives AP and not GP, it kinda ruined the whole idea of a PVP server.

But I don't know, I guess gamez has to keep up. I mean if gamez was strictly a PVP server then we wouldn't be given the chance to do PVE instances which is what other PVP servers have done.

Gamez is not strictly a PVP server, it's a high rate server that mainly focuses on PVP. There's a difference.
