How PvP DOES work versus how PvP SHOULD work

If Runes of Magic could make it work like the latter video, it would attract a lot more people to try out RoM Pvp.
It's also sad that we never got what was "promised" - a 90% reduction in "battlefield" damage. Hopefully it will come in place sometime soon.

If it is to be accompanied by that horrible noise, I am all for it being over in less than a second.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

And yet rogues don't need balancing. According to mass belief. Uh-huh.

Except the only way to actually make it look like that in siege war is if both sides of the guild voluntarily took off their weapons, replaced with level 1 weapons, and took off the chest piece. I don't think people would be very honest about it. =(

all the more reason for siege to be clean white gear type battles. battle would come down to skill and tp lvls in skills. and of course, titles. except, taking out gaurds would be tough as hell., and flames would probably one hit you. defineatley like the second vid better though.

occasionaly we siege a guild who has members i pvp with on a regular basis so we both know exactly what the other is going to do, how we start, when we pop our buffs etc and i have had matches like the second vid in siege.

I once played a game that was made for pvp and one of the game type options was to reset everyone's skills back to level 1 and all gear level was level 1 too. They should implement that here.

Because this post is totally about rogues, Want a video of Mages one shotting people too?

Anyways, the damage reduction should be implemented and it wouldn't be as bad, but giving people all level 1 weapons etc is stupid in a gear grind game.

They just need to balance out the damage inside arena and siege mainly, if you're low level/low hp you're gonna have a bad time, that's the jist of it and it should stay that way or 90% of the people still around who just siege will probably quit, considering that the reason that a lot of people gear is for siege. Either that or they won't pay for the game anymore, I mean I'd support having two seiges, one that was geared and one gearless, but trying to change the game is not the way to go.

Instead of gear to level 1 or skills to level 1, what's better is just a simple damage reduction. Whatever the hit would have hit in PvE make it hit for only 10% of that much in PvP. That would make KOs virtually inexistent and keep matches longer. At the same time, it would give people who had better gear an advantage as people in full ToSH gear wouldn't be very happy about being reset to level 1 gear along with 70s who can't even do RT.
