2013-02-07 Content Update (112822)

[Samhayne]

Let me repost, in a "positive" way for sam. This update and its content is in no way shape or form oriented toward what this games aims to be. You can go download any dungeon crawler and PvE your brains out. There are TONS with amazing graphics and all. The point of ANY successful MMO is the MULTIPLAYER, and any good MULTIPLAYERS feature what ? Player vs Player COMBAT! As we all know the CTF system is HORRIBLE, and it has been out long enough to receive attention and has gotten none. Yet day after day I see the complaints mounting with the same issues and again no attention. The devs will take time out to write me a private message about how I am not being positive, yet will not post on any of these PvP forums about actions they plan on taking or that they are even hearing us. I just feel this update should of been geared more towards PvP, in gear, arenas and fixes. How was that for positive yet REALISTIC on this updates flaws.

Thanks Hroovitnir for taking another stab at a constructive post. I'd like to point out that your statement that "the CTF system is HORRIBLE" is not quite accurate. I can understand how you feel that way, but that is your opinion. From our standpoint, there are a lot of people who are playing the current CTF games, which would indicate that it isn't as horrible as you make it sound. The team is continuing to work on all sorts of things, including PvP. Today's patch is but one of many, many patches. Look for more PvP refinements in the future.

I get that you want more done on the feature you like the most - PvP. However, as you can see by the comments above, there are others who enjoyed this new content. I'm sorry that we're not catering to your personal desires more closely. Maybe we'll get it closer to your mark in the future.

As for me sending you a message to please abide by our forum rules, let's be clear - it's my job to administer these forums. I don't do game development, I'm the community guy. Hopefully that helps you better understand. If you have any further questions, please feel free to send me a private message.

Thanks!

I currently have 'Little Love'. Will I have it after 17th or it will expire?

Yes, you will still have Little Love after the 17th. It is just that people will not be able to wave at someone wearing Big Love and get their own Little Love after the 17th.

Will biug love still be usable then as well?

Those who have Big Love in their inventory will still have it and can equip it. However, if anyone waves at someone wearing Big Love after the 17th, they will not receive Little Love.

I have to agree with Sam here. I think you are being a bit harsh when you say it is "horrible". I play PL as well, and I can tell you that PvP in AL is already way better than it is in PL. And if you look around the forums, you'll see that I have been one of the biggest complainers about PvP. But I still play it and it's still fun. It just needs some fine tuning. The problem is that it is hard for them to figure out exactly how to fine tune it.

In PL they kept trying to fine tune it, and every time they did, folks would complain that another class was now OP. Two months ago bears were OP because of their savage sets, so then they added a new elite bow for birds and now everyone is complaining that they are too OP. Sometimes even the smallest change can upset balance more than it helps.

I think most folks agree that rogues hit a little bit too hard and warriors are a little too tough to kill. Sorcerers may be fine just the way they are, but because of the two things I just mentioned, sorcerers have a hard time competing with either rogues or warriors as we can see by looking at the leaderboards. So we will see going forward what adjustments are made. But I wouldn't expect any major overhaul here, just some fine tuning.

Sam, I understand people like CTF, PvE Heros like it. If you read over the PvP boards most of us are complaining about no REAL PVP, CTf is definitely not real PvP. Also, the current system, as I have mentioned it for counting kills has come under mass scrutiny. I would have to say its not "my personal preference" but a great deal of others who are on the same page as me. It is great to hear you will be working on it though! I understand your just a community guy, the shout out was at the devs, not you.

Can I somehow equip/ unequip Little Love? Cause I can't see an option for that.
If I equip my Big Love while having Little Love, will the Little Love be gone? And I won't be able to equip the Little one again?

Edit:
My bad xD I've just seen it.. ;'D I was looking for it in the inventory and didn't realize it was already equipped... :'D

[Hroovitnir]

Little Love is WAY MORE boss than big! Haha :P!

Molten weapon and buccaneer armour stats are simply pathetic. I've got them equipped now because I've completed all quests and I'm lvl 21 but once the new cap comes, they'll be useless. Plz make them hav better stats or make them vanity. Thank u.
