Conquest

[nemecis]

This is false, the other teams can't see the other teams /1 Conquest channel. I agree organizing several raid is a pain, especially with all of the 5 Star Generals you get on each team.

Incorrect.

Yesterday I had a guildie on Oath talk in his /1 - it showed up in what was my /6 Conquest@Deepstrike

I typed in /1 and /6 and he couldn't see it, but I was able to read what he said. Not sure what was going on, but it occurred on numerous occasions. Seems the extra channel is causing issues, and I have been able to read opposite faction's chat from time to time (not full chat, just snippets from some ppl).

I think it's human nature to find something to complain about. PvPers get no love in the MMO market. Trion throws us a bone with conquest. Yes, there is ALOT that needs to be adjusted but while they are working on that can we just be happy we got something to do besides the same 4 or 5 WFs we've been running for what a year now? On the upside as a result of Conq I've seen way more world PvP on the shard & more players get more PvP gear which levels out the playing field in this grindy game. That would mean more players PvPin which would make us all happy right? Oh no i forgot thats against the rules ...

I have not complained about anything else, I have taken it all in stride, but Conquest was the last straw. Like Credo said earlier, its more the community's fault than Trion's. People today find anyway possible to take advantage of a game mechanic, and Conquest had a huge one to grab onto. The fact that people hit p50 in ONE DAY thanks to spawn camping in Conquest is truly sad. It takes all the fun out of the game. And if you are sick of running WFs all day long for pvp, well Conquest is just another WF, only bigger, and mandatory to get the best gear.

I guess Im just burned out on this game. Break time for me.

just join Conquest with 20 Man Raids, as HK/ID than its really fun. Enough heal,stuns,buffs

if u join Conquest solo its just a big mess, sometimes it works but most of the time its not that great. It will take 3-4 Weeks till all the monkeys know what to do.

With 1 good Raid u can roll the whole map and that its real fun.

Rhet!! Noooo!

I feel your pain though. Conquest is pretty sad. I was hoping conquest would be more 20vs20vs20 not 120vs120vs120. I'm queuing it then pretty much logging off because it saps the will to play. Although, it has been better lately. I usually run with a small group of people and kill the other small groups of people that back cap. It's a whole lot more fun then running with the zerglings.

If you decide to come back, hit me up and I'll show you how conquest can be at least a little fun.

solo q'ing for conquest isn't the most fun. running around in 5 - 10 mans is where it's at. in fact, with a solid, small group, you can capitalize on the zerg. we've taken down sometimes 3x our numbers LOSing terrain, sticking together, and slowly dragging them across the map thinning them out. it's been fantastic.

oh course you need good leadership and good coordination, and thankfully the groups i've been running with have both.

[Zimmyzz]

Rhet, I need you to come back. I've got this mana problem... too much of it. Can you siphon some off for me?

I agree with you about conquest. I'm just hoping to get 50 and the trinket/crystal sometime soon, so I feel like it's a choice instead of something I feel like I have to do.

Hope to see you back after you have a chance to chill for a bit.

If there is much increased rewards for winning team, people will mostly focus on objectives rather than zerging.

[glanomol]

agreed, conquest is awful
let the gear be bought with just favor and i might keep playing
as it looks now though I'm probably done with rift when by sub runs out

I don't know about the rest of you, but Conquest is a deal breaker for me. All it is is a zergfest that rewards spawn camping and 1 button-mashing mentality. No one plays it for the objectives, they play it to kill as many as they can in their multiple raid groups because thats where the favor/prestige is. Im sorry but laggy zergs are just not fun. You might have time to get one instant cast off before your target is dead. I personally despise that type of pvp.

And now to get some really good pvp items we are forced to endure this mess over and over again to earn a couple marks... it straight sucks. This isnt pvp. I could simply autofollow someone in my zerg and reap the rewards.

What we really wanted was OPEN WORLD PERSISTENT PVP, not more instanced nonsense. And to those of you that disagree with me, I simply ask how you can think this type of play is fun? Tab target, use one ability... target is now dead... rinse and repeat. My god pve is more fun than that.... and thats quite a statement coming from me...

So TLR, Conquest is a disaster and has in my opinion cut the thread that pvp in this game was hanging by.

conquest is not a fail, the people playing it are. i agree i dont spawn camp myself either. it was really funny seeing all the people bashing on me in one of your recent open world pvp posts talking about how respectful they are with pvp but then seeing them within 1 day of 1.9 coming out with every new piece of gear just made me laugh. but eventually when everyone gets everything they need im sure people will start going for the objectives like it is supposed to be played

Would love to see a server vs. server vs. server version of conquest.

Keep trying to do CQ but might have completely burned myself out on it getting marks >.>

IMO I just leave the raid and roll in CQ solo. Considering I ran out of things to buy with favor that I drastically need, PA points are hitting redundancy...it's more fun just to solo around and gank people and not deal with everyone. The sad part is, I started just going solo a bit before I finished up getting marks. Just drop raid, do whatever I want while I watch 5000 count down to 0, make sure I am in prime position when boss round starts, tag everything, and get my rewards. Speaking on behalf of marks, my rewards were pretty much equal if I tried the entire hour, or if I jumped off a cliff for an hour straight and just focused on the mini bosses @ the start and tagging things at the end.

GG I was on the cutting edge of acquiring marks by dropping raid and jumping off cliffs. In all this, I did find out if you jump off the cliff at certain areas, the map respawns and doesn't load the CQ sky. You can get the default SM sky.

Maybe I just need time off it, I sort of liked it when it came out. Maybe just burned myself on it too fast.

[Rhetoric]

I dont know maybe ill come back soon but first impressions are a b1tch and the thought of playing Conquest just turns my stomach... I dunno.... we shall see...

[patiman]

you should come back! its fun playing against you guys.

I actually had a good time in a conquest match a couple nights ago. I think it related specifically to what a couple others have said. I didn't try to find my raid group and run with a zerg, but stuck with one other person. We had some really good engagements with smaller numbers and it was much more strategic.

I was also in a semi-organized raid group last night, which mainly stuck together. This was also much more enjoyable than having people spread all over the place.

Trying to get small groups together or a raid with focus seems to be the key for some enjoyment.

I really like the open terrain, because it makes the fights more dynamic. Of course, it also helps me live a little longer, so I'm a bit biased for that reason alone.

I'm hoping this organized grouping becomes the norm, as things settle down. That could make it reasonably fun.

[Ehxon]

they need to lower the player count to 150 and 1/2 the dmg required for bosses and conducters
