[Future of OPVP?]

Hey guys,

 

I must have missed it, but is there any news on the future of open world pvp ?

Are they working an overhaul ? Or didden't any DEV give a word on this yet ?

 

As I said before, if I have missed it, don't shoot me, but post a link to the article please

 

I'm getting tired or grinding WZ's and I want some good old fashioned DAoC RVR

Keep taking and such ...

 

So, any news yet on what they are working ?

[Thank you for the excellent patch!]

Thank god OP for posting something positive.

 

Reading these forums, one would come depressed.

 

All I ever read is whine whine whine whine ....

 

 

Is this the only thing the MMO community has come?

 

Back in the days of DAoC people were alot more mature, had more patience, and didden't play a game if they didden't like it.

 

Atleast somebody with a positive post !!!!

[Is it me? or is there a Severe lack of actually positive posts?]

I agree,

 

and I'm getting sick and tired of reading all these whine posts.

 

Coming from a bunch of people with an attitude of know it all, but I bet if you'd see them in real life they wouldn't even open their mouth !

 

So I read them, yes. But I choose to ignore them, and just giggle !

 

Less whining, more playing

[and the best pvp class at level 50 goes too......]

Let's take a look at this in context, shall we?

 

Concealment:

 

 

• Hidden Strike (read: ambush) is almost certainly talented to inflict a 3 second stun, which fills the resolve bar completely.
   
  
• Concealment operatives WILL get acid blade, and they WILL use it on their initial hidden strike, inflicting some fairly serious DoT damage, and increasing armor penetration by 50% (poorly worded tooltip is poorly worded)
  

 

If a concealment operative uses Cloaking Screen (vanish) to pull a double Hidden Strike (ambush), the second hidden strike will only benefit from the Armor pen. The stun will go to waste on a full Resolve bar, and it would make no sense to reapply Acid Blade before it's even had time to tick.

 

Lethality: LOps don't have to worry as much about wasting CC opportunities or damage potential, but they do have to worry about their Cloaking Screen (vanish) having a full three minute cd rather than Concealment's two.

 

So, while it's true that DPS Operatives can do some pretty nasty damage by using Vanish to double cast Hidden Strike (ambush), it also means that said operative is giving up his single-best escape move for the next 2-3 minutes. The only options left to him after that is his 8 second AoE Mez and his single target snare on a 12 second cd, which are only affective so long as his pursuers are taking no damage whatsoever AND their CC break is on cooldown and/or have no snare/stun of their own.

 

Operatives have no sprint, and no knockback. If they can't vanish, they can't get away from jack ****.

 

Just food for thought.

 

 

+1

 

All the rest I hear about operatives is whine whine whine !

[Bring DAoC to TOR]

I miss my minstrel

 

As I said earlier and i will say it again, I have tried ALL the mmo's on the market.

 

And DAoC is the only one that got the PVP right...

 

And I do mean real open world PVP ...

 

I really hope BW will implement such a thing later on...

 

WAR had some good ideas but it failed, never the less the pvp was fun too !

 

But DAoC, there was th real PVP action going !

[Why Macros belong in TOR.]

I'd rather not see them implement macro's.

 

 

Just utilize your setup better, and yes I have used macro's in the past.

 

And yes I didden't like macro using in an MMO, even if it's "easier"...

 

Play the game as it was intended.
