PvP sucks imo. It takes long to farm meta gear, the servers are slow, ping is crazy, and the combat is tooblox-fruits esque and boring(at least we can block with G?? G???)
In my opinion, pvp is alright if it’s like fair, organised battles. Like at munera or elysium. Other than that, it is not something I really enjoy, and I would prefer to play the game without it.

It’s fine, I don’t have anything against it nor do I think it messes with PVE nearly as much as people say. I will say it’s kinda annoying when stuff like this happens:
The only time this dude could hit me was when he used giant insanity 3 potions. I don’t have a problem with the fact that he attacked me, he’s more than in the right too since I have a claimed island here, but man that potion shit is annoying. Other than grievances like that though I’m totally cool with it. I’d even say, as someone who mostly PVEs, that it can be pretty fun. Heck I had fun even in that fight when I wasn’t getting flashbanged.
insert some guy using t5 perfect heals and t5 perfect agility to run across sameria from me
i would give a specific example but its happened too many times now
Despite being an avid pvper, I’d disagree, when the meta is dominated by atk speed it really just becomes a ping check
AO pvp is kinda just meh at best and completely unwelcome the other 99% of the time.
If I win the fight, I’ve wasted my time because I don’t give a shit about any of the “rewards” nor did I find the fight even vaguely fun.
If I lose the fight, I’ve wasted my time because now I have to travel all the way back to doing whatever I was doing before.
If I’m carrying treasure charts or sealed chests and get into a fight, the person fighting me has literally 0 risk while I’ll have wasted a good bit of time grinding if they win. 10/10, love that.
There is literally not a single scenario where a pvp encounter goes well for me regardless of context, outcome, or anything else.
Worrying about useless ass unfun pvp encounters genuinely makes me enjoy the game less even when I’m not getting jumped.

but when two people have equal ping and equal atk speed, the fight goes crazy
the ping check is sorta an issue with optimization since ao is the only game i consistenly get > 200 ping in, while every other roblox game gets me around 80 ping
and i don’t even want atk speed to be meta i just want everyone to be fast cus current fights are way too slow imo, so i would not mind a global atk speed affinity buff to every magic, weapon, and fighting style

sounds cool
I’m reminded of the first time I fought Onion
Nah, imbues and weapons are way too speed effecient rn, if anything they need a nerf. Some specific speed affinities could be buffed tho
then buff the slow ones instead of making everything slow

i think atk speed atk size and the distance of grabs and crash should all be cut by half
it is low skill
most of the time when someone hits someone it’s during startup/endlag or when their punishing the opponent
attack speed just takes that away since you don’t have to think about getting punished
I haven’t played AO ever since I got Evander’s GS.
How’s the current state of PVP? Specifically what dominates.
lol
lmao even
Ardent Greenwish staff has a speed affinity equivalent to 450 speed
Competitive players are fucking annoying.
That’s all.

im fine with pvp as long as the other guy asks me first. like if someone is like “yo dude wanna fight fr fr” ill probably say yes but if someone jumps me i will run until they get tired of chasing me
ya rn i was on a server with a friend and he got jumped bc he denied a req, sadly that guy has it so i cant join him, but oh man u just know im killing him on sight (my friend is a clear casual pve btw)
yesterday i had both happen to me i was playing with one of my friends and he asked to fight and i said yeah sure, but around an hour later this other guy asked me a question and attacked me while i was thinking of a response. he left like 5 minutes later (poor guy couldnt keep up)
I hate how it’s impossible to get away from someone who’s chasing you. Like, I’ve got a lot of charts and stuff and the only mistake I made was being in the same server as someone with bounty. But they give every advantage to the aggressor. It’s so dumb
Make it so you don’t lose chart progress on PVP-caused deaths and my opinion of it improves hundredfold
