if he isnt outlevelling you by 120 levels or isnt landing every shot perfectly like a script kid, its actually fun, feels like fighting some kind of mirror image

no armor is the only way to make pvp somewhat fun unless you’re just in a mini war or smth
also parry based combat is lame (minute long parry trades are so cool guys)
i would just do no armor pvp with friends and be happy enough with the pvp but the community is pretty full of lameos who hunt me with far better gear or just play really boring (trackstar across ravenna to regen once i get them low)
ar pvp will probably be my preferred option for a while i think 
virgin run when low
vs
chad keep fighting and comeback
The problem is that thats usually the case 
. But i do agree that when the npc youre fighting isnt completely unfair to fight then it pve is pretty fun
Is “Teams of players” referring to things like clan wars, ganking and 2v2s? My first impression was stuff like going out sailing with my friends and ganking my level 260 rival which is more fun than grinding solo but in PVP I hate it
So far the results are noticeably different from last time now that we’re around the same vote numbers the poll last year got.
Last year at 130 votes it was 75% PvE to 25% PvP
Now its 86% PvE to 14% PvP at 118 votes.
7% less people enjoy 1v1s and 8% less people think 1v1 combat is skillful.
13% more people think team combat isn’t skillful, despite this, 7% more people claim to enjoy team combat in one way or another.
The exact same ratio of players enjoy PvE as before.
78% saying yes all around and 6% saying no all around on both polls is crazy.
The builds, now that vitality has been added, have unsurprisingly shifted alot skewed heavily towards magic classes. (I mean this game is called Arcane Odyssey lol)
8% less people believe most builds are balanced and 11% less people believe most builds are unbalanced…
In turn a whopping 19% more players feel that every fight feels unfair.
In spite of this, 18% more people believe that builds affect the game for the better.
In comparison from before, a STAGGERING 65% more people believe that the skill floor is too high.
I wonder how these numbers will change by the time the week is over.

As for the bossfight poll, I find it completely unsurprising that 70% of the votes are an even split of 35% between Argos and Calvus lol.
This is a really great post, it’s a perfect example of the PVE and PVP community having nice, thoughtfull discussions.
One of the few times both communities peacefully interact with each other
I feel bad that I am the only one who voted that.
I just found the high level bounties interesting since they vary a lot and found the bosses repetitive after just a few attempts.
i feel like youve yet to experience the true horror of regular npcs
There are so many answers on every question now, this is great.
The terror that is any nimbus npc
pve as in all pve in general (ship sinking, dark sealed farming, fishing, treasure charts) or just fighting pve (bosses, npcs)
Everything.
(though most people probably just think about fighting PvE)
this topic has been making me consider going back to my “thoughts on casual players” topic idea and make a sequel to it, to be honest
maybe I will, it’s been a year so I wanna see how opinions could shift
Honestly there’d be no harm in doing this.
Going more indepth and getting valuable insight is always good.
i did it already, and the poll results are already rolilng in
bosses have paterns, they feel fair because even though they can cook my ass if i make mistakes, they can still be beaten without any trouble after some time of training
now npcs are just straight up unfair, having to fight a boxing glass magma conjurer npc level 450 that stunlocks you will never not make me want to invade vetex’s house and shoot him 9 times in the head with a .50
I mean yea, the NPC is level 450, what’d you expect? To fight on even ground with them when you’re a quarter of their level?
