I don't actively PvP (apart from in OP wars) meaning I don't run around tagged.
Despite Virg's efforts to get me involved, I usually find myself watching from the side as a cheerleader.
I'll make this clear from my perspective -
I am intimidated with PvP... I know very little about it, in general I spend little time using the Master Melee I have... Virg will talk to me about this action or that and quite frankly, I have yet to even purchase Aim For Head like actions :S
I only know what I do (and I feel its so little) of PvPing because of the amount of time I do spend with Virg and because he is so passionate he will talk a great deal about it.
I read from one post that someone did not want to PvP because they simply did not find it entertaining. Thats fine.... but I believe that the majority of people who are not active in PvP are not active because they know so little about it.
Issues:
1. Culture of the players
- We are not yet at the stage where the majority run around tagged
- The culture is set from when the player enters Silan and is then welcomed in ML and follows the pace of the masses
2. Lack of information
- There is no PvP manual... you learn because either (a) someone teaches you or (b) you learn from experience because you really WANT to PvP for whatever reason
- We are able to Tag ourselves, but theres so little information to clearly state how to do this (don't expect noobs to know this...) nor what the rewards are and how they can be spent etc....
- Compare this with Ele - There is a Trainer in Silan walking you through - explaining how to set up actions and when you need to upgrade gear and ...
Solution = PvP Trainer in Silan
I did suggest this to Virg and urge him to add it into one of his previous posts, but it was never discussed further. Virg is already an adept PvPer, so I can understand why having a Trainer in Silan would not be of any use to him not other hardcore PvPers.
What would this do? 2 very important things:
1. Inform + Educate
- Just like the other trainers inform and educate I think it is very important to provide a chance for a new player to have a few missions as a beginners manual to PvPing - to make a point of saying that "THIS GAME HAS PVP!" (As an option)
2. Experience
- Enable new players to have a taste at PvPing - What its about - How to go about doing it etc...
- Theres the issue of how to implement such a proper PvP 1v1 experience but...
This is just a very basic skeleton idea... To put my views across.
I feel that this discussion just keeps losing its focus... Solve the issue by feeding its root in order to make it bloom and thrive... not trimming off the brown leaves.
