Greetings beloved community!
Recent discussions about PvP activity has moved us to tackle the issues at hand, and we’re ready to have a broader discussion about the steps we can take improve the experience.
Having grown into an ongoing internal subject, we’re looking to reach solutions with you our community, and make Nighthaven a more attractive option for potentially new PvP players.
To begin by responding to proposals by Gnog. https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/64073-ideas-to-improve-pvp-on-nighthaven/
Talent respecing is an important gold sink in the game, but the cost is definitely too punishing. There should be a reason for you to choose your talents wisely and stick with them, but in a game where there’s different power builds for PvP and PvE gameplay, the gold sink quickly becomes an overburdening obstacle that ruins your fun if you want to enjoy both aspects of the game when you want to, and that’s where it becomes a bad game design.
This is definitely something we’re considering reducing for the health of the game and your fun.
We can make battlegrounds more accessible, but we can’t over-incentivize doing battlegrounds over other activities either. Queuing from anywhere in the world has an impact upon the world, where World PvP interactions are affected when someone suddenly vanishes into thin air.
While we could put in place systems like where you couldn’t join if you’ve been in combat for the last minute, it just ends up a system filled with restrictions, but a middle ground would be where you could queue from a rested area (Inns, etc).
When it comes to making PvP and BG reputation gear easier to acquire, the upcoming patch 1.7 releasing tomorrow brings BG weekends.
Reworking the matchmaking system, where it favors to pitch premade against premade, and pug vs pug will absolutely improve the battleground experience, making it more fair and fun for everyone. However, it may take some time before we might get around to work and implement that.
We thank you all, the feedback is invaluable as it’s that which allows us to improve, and we’re looking forward to move this dialogue further with you our community.
