PvP

[Kars]

So,

I've been playing PvP (lvl 70+) With a 10x Chief Bandit. It's going pretty well for me. Chiefs are pretty agile so surviving is no problem. Sucks that skills like Meso Guard, Pickpocket and Meso Explosion are disabled in Battle Mode. Nonetheless, i've never ended below 3rd place.

The PvP feature is pretty boring. Just a little lag makes it progress slowly and frustratingly. You can hardly hit anyone. It's very hard to see which hits are yours and which are other people's. There's only two maps. Both of them suck. They aren't really big so that all fighters pile up on the same platform. You do get a couple of equips that can be useful at low levels.. If you win you get a decent ammount of EXP, too.

Did you guys try it? And, what do you think?

I have yet to try it considering both of my acc's are a/b'd till late august >.>

I'm playing a Sniper in the 70+ bracket and I'm placing near the top almost every time by just spamming Blizzard.

Here's what I got from my experiences:
BaM 120+ = Pretty good because you got Dark Genesis, Tornado Spin and Finishing Blow. Can't get damaged while using Dark Tornando (Bonus +).
WH 120+ = I sux at this but from what I've seen, it's not so bad. The super fast attack that you get has it range decreased so you can't hit from far away.
Mech 70+ (lvl 94) = Attack speed is slow, damage is quite high tho(Evens out), Does have 'Siege Mode' but it has yet to work me for me.

I haven't tried my priest and don't intend to try it until 4th Job.

I found it to be much more exciting than I thought it was going to be. It provided at least an hour of entertainment for me, and I'm going to be heading back most likely. The general chaos of the matches is probably what draws me in. I like it, But hey, maybe it's just not your thing.

it's laggy and the delay is shit annoying (yes i'm aware of the no delay packet).

There's a No Delay Packet? hmm didn't know. That's probs why my BaM is being really suckish in Pvp.

Ofcourse, nexon never add checks to new things :\.

Plus, I don't get why people keep saying why it laggs.. shitty computer or internet?

[xnicnicx]

So True, I lagged when it first came out but that's because of massive overload. Nexon didn't prepare for it but they had the server close for about 2 mins to restart server. After that, everything was Ok.

If you like people and you are also really lethargic it's pretty easy to have fun in PvP.

I didn't lag one bit, just delay between skills was a pain (if you call that lag).

I've had plenty of negative experiences simply because all you do in PvP is use AoE if you have it and you win. All melee classes with no AoE suck simply because you can get KB'd (or status effects: freeze or DoT) so easily not to mention the range of attacks is completely annoying. DBs are probably the hardest if your arsenal is limited. I do not suggest PvPing with a melee class unless you can dish a lot of hits and run when necessary (mostly DBs and Shads). I haven't done it with a Warrior, but I suspect that DWs and Arans dominate simply because of Soul Driver and Rolling Spin respectively.

The only positive addition to this is simply the fact that the EXP is awesome for only 10 minutes (I gained about 15-30% at level 9x per round).

It seems like you get too much Battle Points also. This isn't necessarily a bad thing if things get scaled up, but the necessity of PvP beyond the Larson item set is making shoulder accessories. Personally, I think Nexon is trying to make their players way to involved with this whole update series.

ive had this problem too but i got it fixed

When I talk about lag I'm not talking about just skill delay. I'm talking about this delay mixed with lag. It bugs the hell outta me. I doubt it has anything to do with my connection, though. It's probably because I'm playing in Scania. There are always at least 50 people in the pre-PvP map on each channel. Talk about over populated.

On the day I was majorly screwed, Every time I got within top 3 I lagged like hell until I went down to 4th/5th and 6th. Other than that, Zenith was pretty because it's not over populated and you can still play matches without having to wait to long.

I tried to PvP, but I have skills delay/cool-down, probably because I'm from Europe.. I was hitting once while others 4 times :(. Capture the flag seems interesting :D.
