PvP

= PVP =

If you love the thrill that comes with real human on human combat. PVP is for you.

If you find yourself getting salty about being killed by other players. PVE is for you, let PVP go.

= Pros and Cons =

= Blacksreen Deaths =

A long long time ago (back before most of the people playing today even had the game), there were pvpr's who would teleport spawn kill. Much complaining was done.


 * The devs fixed this by making it so that for a few seconds if you hold still (aka, take your fingers off your joysticks) when you load in, you are safe. Same as in battlegrounds when you load into the spawn.


 * The issue is that people tend to wiggle unconsciously while loading in (like how you wiggle your mouse when waiting for a program to load). Which takes them out of their 'safe space' before they get visuals on their end.

So it appears from the player loaded in that they were killed on black-screen, and it appears to the player that killed them that they were there and moving (maybe prepping an attack).

This is less than useful because as a pvp'r waiting to see if a player is friendly (or even there) is just asking to die, but killing people at teleports gets you yelled at & reported.

We are hoping for teleport-safe-zone fix to this at some point, you can upvote it here: Teleport Pillar Safe-Zone Please

= PVP Bonus =

Enabling PVP gives you a 10% xp bonus to all activities you do with it enabled (along with extra PVP only resource nodes).


 * If you want to be able to use this bonus for missions or quests you must have it enabled the whole time. From mission/quest pickup to drop off.
 * If you turn PVP off for any reason, at any time before hand in. You will loose the 10% boost.

Please only go this route if you actually enjoy PVP.

Tradable Item Loss
If you decide PVP is for you:


 * You will be killed by other players while questing and loose everything tradable in your bag (until you get good at killing them back).
 * If you kill someone it is ok and expected for you to take their bag.
 * If you loose the fight, expect and accept that the other player is going to take your bag.
 * You are going to die a lot.

If you find the above upsetting you. Please consider leaving PVP off.
