PvP Missing a free join element: A fix for a dwindling population

It seems that a form of a battle ground that allows you to join in parties of 3 or 6 or up to whatever number you like would really be fun and interesting and give us something to do during downtime when we cannot do anything else. I don't know what the system would be like or how it would reward us but everyone in VVV Reni thinks it would be great so I posted it here for us.

The PvP system has been majorly improved by the addition of the pvp gear and using this gear more than 1 time a day for 1 hour at most seems to be silly. PLEASE implement something like this!

something like that?

And obviously it will not work "during downtime" because if the game is down for maintenance... well, it's down. Unless you just meant "(siege) downtime" as in between siege war slots. But yes, you can use your PvP gear more than for 1 hour a day in those PvP arenas.

wow... great insight guys. First of all we have an ARENA not a pvp battlefield. Second, because I mis-type one number you /facepalm.. man this says a whole lot about our current generation of players. Yes, I am level 82 GOOD GAME Bro, thanks for adding meaningful content to a serious thread...

Ok so let me define what I am talking about here. This would not be a 10x10 arena where all you do is log in to die repeatedly in a cage where most times people don't even show up. The 6v6 and 3v3 isn't fun in its current installment. Who actually does that regularly except... like... Racerx. So no, Saito..., NOT like that. Have you seen insert 2 common other games here which give you LARGER battles which you can join as a group, ala 12-18 people matched in group of 3-6 (individuals also) with objectives etc.... This is not some die spawn 2 feet away crap. I'm talking about with your normal gear and with your normal skills. Something that lasts 20-30 minutes in a bigger zone.

If you really think that the current versions of non-sw pvp are fun then you REALLY have another thing coming. No, not during downtime of the game, down time between SW when we or others don't have enough people to run an instance. You could institute a reward system with skills or with titles or with other varied pvp gear or with a unique system of pvp points unlike honor which is silly now, I mean everyone uses it for mats basically. In the long run how fun is that? It isn't because it doesn't add to your character. Sure it may be useful but in the long run someone isn't going to look back and say "Oh man, I loved RoM PVP so much because it had this sweet honor reward system for pvp." How about a system which gives you run speed %, additional crit dmg or %, dodge %, increased hp %, def %, pa % per lvl (like .5 % x 5 or 10) and MANY more which is gained through a PvP "lvling" system?? I mean the title thing is great but it takes so long to get anything useful and many people are finished with it. You could even use the current honor system to do that and just make it cost honor.

There you go and I fixed my sig... /facepalm at the rudeness

What would be interesting would be something like a cross-server battlefield that spawns random mobs between the levels of the lowest LIVING toon to the HIGHEST living toon: ie.. 10 ppl rangning from lvl 78 to 82 then the mobs that spawn are lvl 78 to 82. All of them are aggro to all toons. This would allow Druids to actually use their NPC skills as well as to have other opponents that aren't players.

In this battlefield, your goal is to be the sole survivor and the top 3 get rewards points: first place: 100 pts, second place: 50 pts; 3rd place: 25 pts.

These points can be used to purchase SIEGE ONLY ARTIFACTS:

1. 1000 points - Phoenix Feather: When used during Siege, you will be healed completely when your hp drops below 1 and you will be immune to weakening after death
2. 900 points - Potion of Strength: When used during Siege, you will be immune to weakening after death
3. 800 points - Potion of Vitality: When used during Siege, you will ignore the weakening after death once

etc..

GF/RW can make up stuff that could be used during siege.

This gives people a little more incentive to fight each other "Hunger Games" style across the servers... and the rewards I listed are solely for PVP because.. well, we're talking about PVP. lol

& of course, this could be expanded to 3 man parties...

2000 points - Twin Beasts - For 1m you become a second herald. this can only be used once per siege.

There's about three trillion things that need to be fixed or changed before we add more PVP battlegrounds for people to not use. We already have capture the flag and a crystal capturing thing that's much like siege. And.. nobody uses them.

because they broke arena...I used to PvP regularly, until RW made it virtually unplayable...

karros canyon and the mountain range is what the OP is looking for I think...too bad they broke them...

on a related note, can we get the 80% req. on arenas taken out? we have been asking for it to be removed since it was implemented...it has honestly killed the non-SW PvP in this game, which, at leat IMO, was better than SW...

Lol I agree, I would hate it myself but its an idea that is fair. Since both guilds could aquire it. Realistically both guilds would use at the same time most likely just like current fearless.

It would still make for dull effing sieges. With two fearless in a row you could leisurely walk up to and cap a tower with no problems. You could cap all 6 towers in the last 30 seconds. SW would turn into a "Who can click the towers at the last minute the fastest".

They will never fix it. :(

Yes... for those of you who used to do the pvp "battlefields" they are completely broken and have been for a long time but because the refuse to fix them and instead like touting "new" content they could develop a new system and zone.

There is no viable or fun pvp outside of SW, and even SW is lame most days.

So I guess we could ask instead, either fix karros and tyrefen or make something new.

They made something new - Arcanium Arena. And nobody plays it anymore. I vote to stick with fixing arena/siege, etc.

The problem with the arena's (like 1v1, 3v3, arcanium etc) is the rewards you get from them....it should give you points that you can then trade in for gear that is similar but not as good as hm gear etc. 1v1 etc gives you a [Beep] lvl 50 HP herb for gods sakes....and while arcanium area gives you points towards some alright aggs, they are once again useless......other MMO's have, in a way, the option to PvP to endgame or PvE. Something alone those lines has to be implemented into RoM's arena's to even see any decent amount of people entering.

Ignoring the little bugs like arena's 80% limit of course.

arenas give honor points...iirc, it is like 100 per kill for 1v1 and 25 per kill for group battles(not all that much nowadays)...which makes sense, because u can then turn around and buy pvp gear with the points...back in the height of arena, i was getting almost 3k points a night...


agreed though, the little pot it gives u is stupid, i actually have arena gift on autodelete...

The 80% requirement makes sense there's just not enough people doing arena for it to be good. If there were more people that did arena it wouldn't be a problem.
