I feel like item usage shouldnt be allowed in matchmaking PVP

So ive been trying out the new matchmaking pvp, I like it. I have even fights most of the time because im decent, and I get that if I get folded its a me problem

But I’ve been seeing nearly everyone I fight use either an oath diamond/rally banner or blasphemous dagger and it honestly feels unfair

I get im a bum who hasnt done ALLLLL the talent quests yet (which is still like a really tall order) but if food buffs arent allowed in arena, item buffs shouldnt be allowed either.

i want ur thoughts. i personally think its stupid to allow buff items in the first place. I feel like arena would be better if it just locked you to your magics/weapons/relics/fighting styles in your inventory

brother the talents are just a part of your build.
finish one, its not hard.

its like complaining that people are wearing armor because you never got any.

The only thing i don’t like is the invisible wall being way too far away it should be on the border of the arena as well as some lost spells being usable like conjure elemental

damn, what did C-Elementals do to you? Spell bans seems slightly unfun even though this is technically a “ranked” system.

idk i am not having a fun time lol even though i’ve been ranking up.

I’ve seen a aoe iron leg berserker who’s attacks do 600 damage and is a quarter of the arena

The only one I have a problem with is the veil. That shit is so annoying to fight.

Yeah I thought the lame playstyles were mostly a part of overworld pvp but damn I was wrong. Going up against backdashing musket warlords and warriors is sooooo boring.

Honestly, that sounds like a gear issue— which AO is majorly crippled by… that and damage scaling being really absurd.

If we had armor presets that’d be resolved; spells should remain customizable though.

i just think they should’ve added the aoe downscaling before they added elos i predicted this would happen.

fair, a lot of adjustments could be made for PvP regardless, I don’t think those are definitvely problems with matchmaking, but more-or-less what Elysium servers were dealing with before, just now being easily accessible… personally, AOE wasn’t the biggest issue; everybody***[1]*** doing like 600 damage was.


  1. Exclusively Strength/Weapons— they do so much damage. ↩︎

finding AUS servers for me sucks it gets to the point where the system has to make me my own AUS region after like 20 off region matches

the oathkeepers quest was kinda fun honestly, it became easy after i just looked up how to sense jorund and leviathan.

its a part of the progression. can be sorta annoying but same can be said for armors and stuff
