Hello everyone.
I would like to talk about some topics related to PvP in this post; hopefully Gameforge can hear our voice and help us to make PvP alive again.
It has been a while since Gameforge removed PK after merging Killian and Mystel. We hoped that we could get it back by time somehow, but apparently PK won't come back until we actually talk about it and show how PvP doesn't work properly without it.
PK was the main reason of me playing this game and i am sure there are many players as well played this game for PK. Tera as we know is a (PvE + PvP) game: that means there are dungeons, there are battlegrounds and also open world PvE but it also has to have open world PvP, which is already an existing system in tera files. It's nothing new, nothing impossible, just one of main columns of this game that we want it back.
We PvP players used to PK almost of our playing time. Sadly many people quit the game due to removing PK system and they are pretty much ready to come back if PK is back.
Sadly the new PvP Exodor area is a fail, which is already dead place, that no one go to it because:
1- You can kill your guild mates.
2- You can't make party or raid to play with groups.
3- So small place and not like PK at all and not free.
What I and many PvP players want to say is: We want PK in Mystel, not new ideas about failed projects, not edits on new PvP area. We just want PK as it was before with or without infamy. You can make Velika Outskirts area only with PK since we used to PK mostly there, or specific areas since you can control PK by making the area safezone or abile to PK in it. There is no need at all to totally remove the main PvP system and the actual definition of PvP.
Also one of the incoming updates which is Tera Battle Arena. Really!! new game? what about our game that we played it since years and farmed in it to get BIS gear. We don't need a new game. We need our current game to be more like our old game, that has been ruined by time.
About Civil Unrest "guild sunday war": CU considered the main PvP event like alliance back in the days. At the start of CU when it came out it was actually a thing, until it also got ruined. CU is once per week. Its actually the only event in game that all guild members regroup in one place at one time; doing one thing which is fight and play together.
We need it to be playable like before. Also to improve it by some ideas "from PvP players point of view" like:
1- Open CU area again and make it full velika and outside velika. Not only the city from inside, which made it truly unplayable.
2- Not to mention the bugs that happen from time to time which we faced them and recently we lose our Bravery potion, Blue Noctenium, foods and other consumables with any loading screen happen due to start or summon or death.
3- Having unlimited numbers to participate in CU. Some people think its one of the interesting factors and competition style to play on numbers, others think if each guild can participate with 30 players max would be more fair and more fun.
So getting back old CU system will be also one good step to improve our PvP contents in tera with keeping the new rules of towers and alt towers which was actually helpful to not abuse any alt tower and not anyone can enter the area.
Or bring back Alliance.
One more thing about PvP. We want Fraywind back, which is something not hard at all since it's also still in game files.
Gameforge used to open old PvE dungeons again and again and again. But you never brought back Fraywind, which is the only mass fight Battle ground in this game. And you basically closed it, thinking that Shorehold will replace it.
Shorehold is another form of PvP which is 7vs7 small fights, not mass fight PvP. Also NA tera did bring back Fraywind in their anniversary; that also prove the possibility of having it back in EU.
Having Fraywind back again with our gear and our skills will actually add back one of missing parts in this game which is mass fight. And finally we can use out gear in mass fight in fraywind.
I hope that Gameforge actually listen to our PvP voice and not ignore us because we are a smaller community than the PvE community. The fact of losing our population is that our game that we played before, the contents that we enjoyed before, has been ruined by time.
All the 3 points about PK - CU - Fraywind are possible to be done by Gameforge itself. So we hope that our voice has been taken into consideration.
