AO's PvP Problems (And How to Resolve Them)

[key]

@Batlantern182

I’m kinda split here. I haven’t gotten into the pvp very heavily because I always feel as if I need a better build, so I spend tons of time grinding (thanks RNJesus) instead of practicing. And the few times I have pvp’d of my own free will, it SUCKS since I have little experience. I really would like to learn it more, but at the same time I don’t want pvp to be the only thing I have to look forward to. Also, constantly losing (fights AND money) just sucks, especially in this game. I feel that it can be frustrating and somewhat unfair, but I don’t put that much time into it, so I can’t blame anyone but myself. So I can’t really say it’s a general problem. Though I think having pvp being locked to players within your level instead of being above an arbitrarily low level is a very good idea! It would help avoid stupid greifing.

You have absolutely no excuse.

Not even a little bit. I spent so much time getting my ass whooped in WoM, and then some more in AO. I remember I would be so frustrated, because I normally play on 10 FPS in WoM and 15+ in AO.

Eventually I got access to a better computer and now it’s 30, but I lost so many fights, over and over. Also, your complaining about spending too much time grinding for good items? FUCK THAT. You don’t actually think you need good items to PRACTICE, do you?

Ever heard of no item 1v1s?

I’ve been to like 4 of them. They actually aren’t that bad, except for when they start speaking in tongues. That stuff creeps me out.

It’s really weird unless you’ve been going there a while
They have the best parties tho, puff puff is so good

Oh, you know puff puff? I used to eat it all the time when I was like 5, but then we moved and I forgot what it taste like ;-;

@key

Literally doing the opposite of what the game considers as good is what I mean.

@key

I’m not saying “the lore”

Yes.
You are.

Why should jail times exist in any form for players when it could literally just be a fade to black?

The experience of sitting around and doing nothing for 10 minutes sure does add to the experience, I love being essentially temp banned for 10 minutes every time I die.
Minigames would not help, if I wanted to play minigames like that I’d go to a different game.

@TheoreticalExistence

I know I suck at it.
I have literally 0 incentive to get any better at it because it feels fucking miserable to participate in.
There’s plenty of other games with enjoyable pvp right from the start, what’s this one’s excuse?

I absolutely agree with you my guy, but know that you’re gonna get hammered because this entire forum is obsessed with PVP.

key im nigerian of course i know what it is

[Batlantern182]

I just said I don’t really know whether it’s good or bad because I don’t have much of a stake in the whole thing. Can you just NOT assume that I’m complaining that your favorite part of this game is bad because I am? Why is it that the first little thing I say here, which has nothing to do with “pvp sucks because I sucks”, requires you to go off on me? And yes, thank you agains for bringing up itemless 1v1s, but at the same time, random bounty hunters aren’t gonna play by any rules. I gotta stay prepared for that part of the game in which I have no choice in participating in if I want to actually play.

ok, I’m sorry. I was in the wrong, and I misinterpreted your statement.

Hence why GTA does not make you sit through jail every time the cops try and cap you on sight before arresting you lol.

[Batlantern182]

It’s fine, and I get needing to put time into something to get better at it. I respect that you have put in so much effort to improving yourself at this game.
