    Default IPP - Shimmer zone event problems as a guardian

    hello,

    i was wondering what is wrong with zone events on this server, im a lv50 guardian and i find zone event raids very rarely and dosent matter how many we are we always getting ganked by defiants somehow, high lvl population is so bad like 70defiant/30guardian or its just me who cant find dedicated groups/raids for zone event?

    i dont like to stay in sanctum whole day and queue for wf/expert dungeons, this game is dynamic beacuse of rifts and zone events but it feels so bad when you gettng ganked by defiants while doing zone event all the time.

    makes me sad, maybe i should start defiant on this server, or guardian on other shard

    Well guardians has more pvp focused players, but defiants has much higher population, sadly most of them are PVE focused. The new event seems to be dragging out a lot of PVE'ers, I've seen trains of more than 100 moving together now for farming rifts, pretty insane:P

    I've also noticed an abundance of PvE geared folks flitting around the zones lately. The thing with PvP on Whitefall is, few people from either faction will stand their ground and fight as soon as they're out numbered.

    A few times, our guildies have fought off a whole bunch of Guardians, but then - the tables are easily turned when more Guardians turn up. The only real problem I have with World PvP at the moment is the lack of people who are interested in it unless they severely out number the opposing team.

    This is why I love playing with Backup Squad, we rarely have a full group of 20 people, but fight it out regardless and more often than not, win.

    Fun stuff, especially when your just running along and your graphics finally catch up and suddenly show a mob of 50+ defs right in your face!

    of course even better with tekk with us as well!

    donk know what you guys are talking about. I only see 30-40 Time Keepers zerg runing around and crushing us the Defs. So i think it depends the side you are playing, you will always see other side to be stronger.

    Just stand and fight back till you die. Its no honer in running away.

    It's funny to read you. The groups in this game are 5 players. And you say you rarely turn 20 so you are low numbered compared with others?

    We rarely are more than 5.....that's a group size, and in my oppinion, it's how you are supossed to go for open PvP...

    The problem with pvp is that it's more often than not Group Vs Player than it is PvP. And that could be easily fixed or at the very least toned down if they made the reward for ganking group style to near 0 (as it should be).

    Also you might wanna try BloodIron. I have another 50 char there and the PVP is much more balanced and much more fun there. They also have better pvp'ers so keep that in mind as well :P

    People don't do world pvp for prestige/favor. TBS was in stillmore for couple hours last night fighting other raids, and we try our best to ofcourse avoid killing soloers, though all aren't as disiplined yet as they need to be:P Real world pvp is either 1on1, where calling/soul(also prestige rank) and skills often play equal difference. No, what I love is 20vs20 or something close to it, where you realy get to test your skills and work as a team. Trion still haven't got it to their "phat" heads that there are pvp focused players and guilds who want nothing more than having to count to 5 and que at the same time. Rated 20vs20 arena NOWS!

    20v20 is bull, play WoW if u want rated instanced pvp.

    what we need is this ******ed engine to start rendering everyone that gets into rendering range so we can have proper pvp instead of getting killed by invisible players. that and proper world pvp zones where u can fight for control of stuff, lineage 2 sieges are a good example of what could be done. castles that add a 5% tax to every AH transaction which reverts to the guild that owns the castle for example, or stat buffs for castle owners. heck, even increased favour/xp (for planar atunement) would make ppl bash eachother for a castle.

    @OP: blame trion for making another faction based mmo.

    20vs20 is bull? I don't mind fighting outnumbered in world pvp, and the rendering rly needs to be fixed so we can fight decently when we get outnumbered, but here is still no purpose to pvp after getting to rank 8, and that has caused a lot to quit, and many are bored.

    Also funny you throw in a WOW comment to me, then speak of something we need which sounds just like wintergrasp in wotlk or tol barad in cataclysm. I'm having a blast after me and bomben started a pvp guild, we got something to do for now, but the reason both bomben and I nearly quit, why tainted disbanded was because there is jack **** to do in the game if you're pvp focused. And a rated 20v20 arena should be a easy fix.
