Im sorry i guess im one of the few who absolutely despises mesanna and her whole production team. I do not understand how any of you pvper's could be on board with this. All they are doing is spitting in our face and trying to get rid of us to make way for a trammy only game. Do you even know how many ppl we lost due to the intial F##K up with the points and faction gear. I know of 13 that have quit between may and july of this year. If any of you are true pvpers and play everyshard (or used to till they F&&ked IT up) you know damn well there are not that many of us. I can go to six different shards and play against almost all the same ppl, so for me to know of 13 of them quitting thats ALOT bc of one crappy patch. There are not enough pvpers to keep things going as it is, most real ones not guard hugging blues love factions. Why? because the fights have an ending and a clear victor, the other crew all goes stat and you win (taking out stat jewels and the off chance everyone wins while fighting in stat.) Most the time thats how fights are decided, u fight against a bunch of blues or if its all non faction fights, the victor is the one with the largest zerg that can mount an offensive and have a defensive rez point in the back. Reminds me of CREW on GL a few years back but they are much smaller now. I loved O/C back in the day it was a lot of fun, and im not against it, I'm against taking out factions! As it is I used to play 12 shards now I play 2. Unlike trammies we dont farm quests, and peerless, and doom and get loot and arties to suit are guys up. We need that extra help with the faction gear. I have 10 shards I can't play on for lack of funds and ability to make a suit or farm enough silver too suit the person up. I just built three suits without faction armor above level two. Just finished two days ago and then I read this horses**T. Just wasted countless barbed kits, spined kits, and resources to build a suit that will be unusable in a few months.
Although no one is listening I've got an idea for you devs and messanna and whoever else is ruining the game that was brilliantly created in 97. STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING PERIOD! Stop only caring about your tram player base cuz guess what, ur not getting many more trammies to play. The ones that don't play aren't going to, they play WOW, or Diablo III. The trammies that do play arent going anywhere so you don't have to worry about them. This game has nothing to offer in tram that WOW or DIAblo or any other game out there cant compare to or substantially offer more! This game has one thing that no other game has, and that is its freedom and tactical advantages of pvp. NO ONE WANTS A 40 ON 40 BATTLE GROUND, IF WE DID WE WOULD GO PLAY WOW!!
This game is different in the fact that you dont have to choose one template you can mix and match anything you want to kill someone. You dont have to have approval from another party to attack them, you just do. You can run and trap, or stand and duel, or drop through a sparkle and choke it out. This game was built on pvp, it was built on a world that had no rules, and its time you guys start taking into account what we want not just what the trammies want. However, you wont, cuz you dont want us here anymore. You want the trammies to stop crying that they cant go to fel without getting killed, U basically want this to be a diablo game with far ****tier graphics. THat is my rant I will add a few suggestions that will def never be read but im used to that.
Sug 1- most importantly dont try to be like WOW or any other game, this game is far better bc of its gameplay and freedom to choose your own path, dont sell out thinking you'll keep ppl interested by following the trends of other MMORPG's
Sug 2- IT is time you listened to us, we are always called hackers, and exploiters by the trammys. Its time you stopped allowing them to exploit guard zone! ITs time to abolish guardzones in fel completely not abolish factions. However if you do that, you need to also stop them from exploiting houses as well. If you get flagged in a house you can sit there and do nothing, or recall out or whatever you want. But if you flag the person back you should be instantly ejected from said house and not allowed to fight from within it. If you flag someone from a house you should automatically be ejected no if ands or buts about it.
Sug 3- Drop a portal in the middle of FEl that connects to every single shard out there. Then we wouldnt have to make 15 diff suits with 500 million depending on how many ornys, tangles, slithers, crimmys, crys you need. You could have a few on one shard and just jump from shard to shard to fight everywhere. Dont merge the shards because then everyone would flip about losing their houses.
Sug 4- FINal suggestion, I am against pets in all shapes and forms. it is called player verse player, not player vs player and his pet (s). Although i Know that will never be abolished, atleast give us a slayer weapon and spellbook for dread mares. Last night I had an archer with a dread on me and in the time it took me to cast an explosion i went from 149 hp's to 51hps, then all that was left was to heal and be defensive without offense thats ridiculous. Also you could make it harder for tamers to play since its the easiest temp to play, the most powerful, and all they have to do is hit three keys to kill someone. How about if you have taming and lore you can't have resist or ninjitsu. I'd be good with that
.. Ok I do apologize for posting such a long message but someone had to say it.
