[The community split is not PvP vs PVE but...]

In my opinion:

This one game called DAOC ( Dark age of camelot) did it right with something called rvr (realm vs realm) warfare. and they are still going today whereas a lot of other pvp centric games have failed.

 

Id love nothing more to have a red server, but that would be a bad business model for a game coming out of alpha. 

 

Not to mention we are in a pandemic which has gutted our way of life for the most part.

 

In EQ2 days when we had nagafen and vox I think, it was a newish concept, even then though people only lost coin if they had any on them, maybe an odd heroic item, should they lose a fight.

 

It did not last long though in terms of a business model, even with those protections in place. 

 

They tried 2 more times with its nostalgia/maint mode servers, TLE, it was around for maybe 4-6  months, even less the second time around.  Then they tried a TLE red server on a limited time basis, which was a worst idea in itself.

 

Lots of games have tried to figure out the pvp formula but its going be an uphill battle when 50% of the customers are not going to get that same sensation the other 50% are getting.  I mean they could do participation trophies I guess but even then its not as good as that first place prize. 

 

So how do we fix that in 2020 in a pandemic?

 

Simple,  people love being a part of something and misery loves company.  RVR...

 

We all win or we all lose.

 

Maybe come up with 2 other factions, like Aliens and the other could be robots or AI etc lol.

So humans, AI and aliens wow now you could do a lot with those, lots of expansions, worlds etc.  $$$$ big money!

 

Different strengths and weaknesses, well not to get off topic sori, but I think rvr is the way to go if you want this game to be around 5 years from now.  IMO

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Keep getting ctd'd at the market area]

Apologies, I am too frustrated to find a forum post cause I know I cant be the only one with this issue.

 

I have a pretty decent setup so I know its not me.  Now I have been trying to log in since I CTD'd near a marketplace about 4 hours now.

 

I get to move maybe 2 feet then it crashes, again.  This has happened alot more than usual.

 

Is there a way to disable all the constructs cluttering the area?  Only happens near marketplaces, and I dread going near it at this point.

Which should not be the case also new players start at these locations and I can only imagine the frustration they feel.

 

I did notice I was able to move freely and even turned up the graphics at a marketplace, when there were no other constructs.

 

That was a bug apparently because when I logged back in I could see alot of constructs laying about.

And of course CTD shortly after I could look around.

 

I want to test things out but dam man was this around in alpha?

 

 

 

[The bad suggestions thread]

I think they should add a section in the forums that the devs can relay information to players like sked/unsked down times, patch notes, maybe a suggestion box etc.

 

and Space hamsters!
