A doughnut with no filling. /sarcasm
Let me see...
I'm currently playing D2, PvP.... to me, is being able to kill every class, with only 1 class, or at the least, majority. Lvls in D2 matter to, at least to me, I cap my duelers. Killing lv80's at Lv40~50 is rewarding.
Ol' D2... well, I can beat you with a Guided Missile Treasure Hunter. D2 PvP is pretty good from what I remember.
[FONT="Arial"]I don't like PvP. There is way too much drama, QQ, and rage from what I've seen.[/FONT]
:worry:
That's because they do not know what real PvP is.
I actually think mabinogi is better in respect to "lvl 1 can destroy lvl 99" stuff. Honestly if u have icebolt + good internet connection u can camp the crap out of a "pro". Other games that are "point and click u wait for ur charc to auto attack the monster for a while" types, theres no friggin way ur gonna beat someone 20 lvls higher than you. In mabi 20 level difference is almost nothing, unless you're level 1 i guess...
all in all pvp does create QQ, name calling, drama, and rage quit (did i miss something?) but I just do it cuz its fun lol. Its so interesting watching ppl QQ and name call and do all sorts of stuff to prove that they can "own" someone in pvp.
unless your talking about dueling then thats another whole topic..
You cannot be a level 1 with Rank 1 Icebolt. And "Camping" isn't really PvP. It's PvLoS[Player vs Lack of Skills]
The QQ is web 2.0[4chanish] thing. So that's something to get used to.
It's fun when you duel a friend or play around with game skills but people get annoying.
PVP is too broken, you win with AR+Connection.
I can't even smash a person point blank before he AR's me (right after alby arena invincibility wears off) even when I'm spam clicking...
Connection is not a problem for me, I ping 60ms to the server from the east coast. I have AR, and R9 Icebolt. Someone who has R1 Icebolt will win because it loads faster. I also have R1 AR which does not load faster than a r1 icebolt charge.
Mabinogi shouldn't have PvP, it's imbalanced.
PvP in most games comes down to who has the better connection if two people similar skills whether it is PvP in a shooter, fighter, RPG, or some real time strategy game.
Better connection means nothing in certain games unless you're lagging. Now there are a few like "GunZ: The Duel" where 100 ping you'll need to lead .8 more characters.
I think PvP in Mabinogi should be somewhat like DFO's PvP is.
Well in Mabi, it really is determined on your connection speed, skill rank and also tactics.
If you lag, then you are screwed anyways. :|
Human PvP makes rank 1 AR a necessity.
My tactics are CC Icewand, Charge and Icespear. You'll never get a hit. But, take into the consideration of the other persons passive defenses, I'll ping them and they'll never get hit.
I dislike PvP. Just because of how many people focus on winning and just showing off and showing attitude which I really dislike. It's a breeding ground for all those people who have massive advantage in the game to the point where they are god-like (which usually is cheating, buying in-game gold and having a lot of cash to spend on game incentives, and having the best connection and computer specs), which makes me want to avoid it even more.
Also hear things like speeding up game to cheat in pvp, which makes me feel people don't focus on having fun. They focus on the need to win. Which is what I don't agree with.
I do pvp on condition on team pvp, when it comes to testing out new skills, or just fooling around with it (wind blasting someone else and getting wind-blasted around is fun).
Mabinogi is a horrible game to have PvP. But real pvp is fun. Like Ultima Online pre-2000s was the ultimate PvP game.
D2, is pretty balanced but its based on equipments.
FPS well, as long as they're not 1shot1kill type games I'm fine.
