“catering” maybe just dont run
whats the worst that’s gonna happen? losing renown and like 300 galleons isn’t the worst thing to happen

i generally partake in the pvp. but running should always be an option to do. if it’s a fair 1v1. i gladly fight

I mostly play the game as a pve game lol, leaning on “pve game” after all these patch notes almost entirely centered around balancing for pvp players is a little funny

I’ve said it a hundred times before, if you’re not participating in the pvp of the game you’re not experiencing the full game and if that’s what you want to experience power to you but uhhh… don’t complain lol

yeah, pvp is a part of the game, but it’s been said multiple times that it’s mainly a pve game, and as i said, the pvp in general is ok.

but it’s great experience fighting against the previous metal mage with pulsar or getting fucked in a 5v1 or whatever. if vetex does something against those things (yes ik metal already nerfed and stuff, but balance changes take too long because vetex thinks waiting till the whole update for some balance changes is a good idea). then it would be completly fine.

you even agreed earlier that running is an ok strategy, but now i’m just supposed to become a pvp god? the decision to completly remove running is just dumb. there are much better different ways definetly.

I like AO combat but pvp metaslaves are shitting up the game because fun = bad and vetex’s just catering to them for some reason.

If you hate people jumping you so much maybe just dont have super high renown (Pvp is literally the central feature of the renown system)

Nothings stopping people from holding onto high agility armor and accessories as well

But then we can’t minmax our speed deckhands (no fun)

Once deckhands are separated from Renown I think people would have less problems overall

It only goes for solo ganks
You also get 50% hp back for kills
Skill issue

No, you just need to understand the people hunting you aren’t good either and if you have over 300 defense and 50 power you should be able to at least get them to slow their aggression.

This was put in place so solo ganks would be actual fights and not a cat and mouse chase. Not so you could run from the “unwinnable” 1v1

Running should be a valid Strategy, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to run, i don’t like this change at all.

It is still a valid strategy, but you’re gonna have to be more clever about it than just going “Wx2, repeat” in a straight line now. Hide and juke. Parkour around terrain to slow them down. Use stamina foods. Blinding magics. Dashing to safety ain’t your only option

Yunno, I completely forgot Smoke Arrows existed. Maybe I’ll try that next time

me using rain of arrows+smoke arrows to create the most annoying fucking smokescreen (this would actually be dope as fuck if it was used as a strategy)
