Something needs to be done about PVP

Okay I get it!
Getting geared is important, people want to get geared and they need the means to do so. But wait! They need billions of silvers and tons of materials... there's a huge wall they need to climb, and they cant have fun while doing so.

This is a private server, and rates are high, but rewards aren't.
Nevermind the playerbase let's talk about PVP rewards. RBF, NW, Sieges -- whats in it for the new players?

We need to increase rewards for PVP events to warrant for more players PVP'ing.
Don't give me the excuse for double rewards for RBF as that happens every weekend, I'm talking about daily events; increased rewards.
People with lower gear will actually try to PVP and somehow progress from it.

Who RBF's now anyway? 2x hards every 10 mins... nu - uh. Caphras maybe? I don't know --

We gotta increase our rewards or we will NOT be a PVP oriented server.

Carl by some hope to God I know you understand this.

Also - want more players in BA or RBF? Trial Characters, people can play Characters with 265 AP and 310 DP
If you do this, more players will trial their chars and we'll have more of a PVP scene. Literally, in retail people RBF on trial chars, heck, 70% of the RBF players ARE trial characters.

So please, make these changes, and you'll definitely make the server better and far more interactive.

Focus on these changes, I insist, make the server better at least by making quality of life changes!

Thanks!

 

I am sorry if I sound negative about your suggestion, because it is a good suggestion, it is just that the GamezBD community has had this very discussion pretty much ongoing since I joined this server.

BUT...

This is not going to work as you think it will, all this will do is reward the top 15 PvP players with near maximum gear who do the Red Battlefield regularly...

...Because as you just mentioned players with LOW gear want to try out PvP on this server and since this game does not contain a system to make SURE that there is no team matching, where maximum geared characters get to destroy LOW geared players, then the players trying out PvP for the first time will have to run out onto the battlefield only to get killed over and over again without anything learned or enjoyed about the experience.

UNTIL the GamezBD make up their minds about making the matchmaking process Tier based, or just make a PvP (max. level and gear at start) server (which might not be such a great idea in the long run), then we are all still in no-mans-land when it comes to PvP, also the MANY bugs in the class-skills and Combat-Effects mean that at the moment a couple of classes are well Over-Powered when compared to the others.

So there are at least two things standing in the way of proper PvPing on this community;
1. Changing the way the game handles PvP queuing (which might not be possible at all)
2. Make a GamezBD Special PvP Arena where players are matched exactly with proper opponents AND get proper rewards for the time spent in there (which is going to take an enormous amount of time and work)

Other than these you can always argue that until the Combat aspects of the game have really been fixed, so no class has the upperhand, then PvP is never going to be a hit among players who like "fair-play-PvP" on this server.
