Dear idiots in Halcy....
Every time you kick somebody because the game is bugged and won't let them pass lead, not only do you fuck your own team(those people won't be replaced) but you fuck the players who get stuck with a lead they didn't ask for it(counts as an entry). Stop being whiny babies, its a fucking bug and it's annoying as shit but there is literally nothing they can do about it. Seriously watching the west go through 10 people because they can't handle having to deal with bugs and then bitching when we lose(hint its because you kicked everybody you could and we were down 20 people) is getting beyond annoying.

TBH all the instanced pvp in this game is a shit show.
-Free for all, mostly filled with healers hiding, waiting it out for free badges.
-Drill, absurd matchmaking where premades play pugs or they put all the healers on one team.
-Sparring/Gladiator, gives so little reward it pointless doing them. Most games take longer to load in than to actually play them.
-And as you point out, Halcy where overgeared pvper's faceroll against farmers (West).
But it's pointless complaining, nothing will get fixed or improve. My motivation to keep playing this game is starting to wane. Doing the same dailies over and over and getting spanked by no lifers with double my gs in the open world is getting tiresome.
Finally I have found someone who feels the exact same as me. I joined Archeage for pvp and all the instances suck, unless I can build a full try hard team it's just pub stomping.
I force myself to queue for things I dont even enjoy anymore because it's a necessity, otherwise people who do it get ahead and I cant enjoy the only thing fun which is open world pvp.
I've been close to quitting the last couple of days and if it wasnt for my friends playing I probably would of
Even the world pvp is getting boring. People aren't actually looking for fights like they used. People run if it isn't war time and during war all they are looking for is free kills. Anytime they encounter a challenging fight they tuck tail and run like losing 6 honor in a death is game breaking...
I miss the days where 2 groups of 4-5 people each would square up and fight and keep coming back for more. That seems non-existent now. Seems like people aren't down to pvp for fun and are only down if they get something out of it. Defeats the entire purpose of pvp in archeage.
Agreed, I'm always looking for fun fights even if I lose... Me and a friend hit a red fishing raid and it was 2 v 15 (roughly) and we got 8 people and stole a fishing boat. Most fun i've had in ages!
Usually all I get is a bunch of reds sitting in Hellswamp on the guards using insta kill/drop dead/stealth. Literally won't leave the guards for a fight even though its 2 v 5 its embrassing. I'm all for the 'honor is honor' but jesus man, least come give me a decent fight even if I lose.
Yup I run into that all the time. I was farming in Aegis and had 4 reds gank me a few times. I called 3 friends from guild to come help and after the reds lost 1 time (in a good fight where 2 of our party died as well) they never returned.
I'm not sure why people are so against fights that aren't a for sure victory. Losing is fun as long as the fight is enjoyable and a 5v5 fight where one party gets wiped and the other loses 3 or 4 players is the definition of an enjoyable fight.
What server/faction are you on?
Just do it. I quit a few days ago and it honestly feels amazing not having to think about all the unfun shit you need to force yourself into every day.
Most hard cores will burn out pretty soon. Then the game gets fun again. Its the cycle of these games. People join, grind, daily, do stupid stuff day in and day out, make it to every event, get a big epeen.
Realize they are hating the game and doing job #2 (or #1 for basement dwellers) and there is a big world out there of other games. Quit, repeat in new game.
I feel it might be too late, I know friends and guilds leaving in doves due to multiple factors such as exploiting, bugs, dailies, instance pvp, world pvp etc...
The main complaint is once they get over one issue another crops up, certain activities aren't fun,extended maint, no etas.. and I can completely understand, for someone who joined solely for PVP I just cannot keep up the mass grind to keep up with people to stay viable and to do any sort of instance pvp I need to make a character suited for it.
You can just respec right before you go into instance pvp. You don't need to make a new character.
Setup a team of 5 and go have some fun. Get good with that team, then take it to the next level and go roam around looking for reds. Then take it to the next level and see if you can take out a chunk of the daily grind zerg before they get you.
Most we got before unchained was 14 with a group of 5 of us.
(This isn't counting the stealth mass meteor strike on grimghast)
Even if the majority of hardcore players quit you still have to face the fact that most theme park and daily stuff is no fun at all. This is a big and Important Part of the game and it’s just not fun. That’s deadly for a GAME.
If you feel that way this game is not for you. I find a lot of the game to be fun.
Exploring
Ocean PvP
Open World PvP
Raising random animals
A bunch of housing related stuff.
What i don't find fun, i just don't do. Even some of the unfun content can be fun if you don't just zerg around. West Hiram/East Hiram dailies can be fun if you are looking for pvp instead of just farming with a 200 person zerg.
The mindless rush to the max gear score is not fun. It's pointless. Its just a means for playing and then quitting and never enjoying the GAME the entire time.
Well how else are us healers supposed to maximize our kyrios token income?
I definitely could use pocket healers in Drill camp.
Yea in drill camp absolutely but the FFA arena is heavily favored against healers lol.
When skewer can almost oneshot the generals, healers can very easily win FFA.
Gladiator is super fast for me just like before not sure what you mean
That's what they said, matches are quick loading screens are not as quick.
My loading screen is like 5 seconds max
Right so if the loading screens are fast the implication is that the fight itself is even faster.......
He's talking about the combined time of queuing, loading, waiting for the match to start, fighting, transitioning to the next round, waiting, fighting, transition to end screen, loading, repeat.
That entire sequence is extremely fucking annoying and could be streamlined to be much faster.
The only instanced PvP should be the 1v1 arenas. Instances have no place in a sandbox game.
Pick one.
Drill can be pretty fun if you don't get those stupid premades that think they are better players because they got a group in comms.
