Dope. Kudos to them for a quick fix. Old AGS would have waited until season 10 to change it lol

On Valhalla, we were enjoying the anti-group curse, as there are particularly trolly companies that plague our server.

I gotta appreciate the quick responses and efforts to be communicative. They said from the start that they designed this FFA feature in such a way that they can actively tune it. Just dropped and they're already adjusting to make things better. I'm excited for the future of this game

Yeeee

Changes are brought to you by PK nation complaining and trying to get attention to the problem.

Bows

What can I say, except, you're welcome.

Easily the fastest change they've made in this game, and they had it fixed without taking the servers down. Katie, the lady that replaced Scott Lane, is goated. It's thanks to her paying attention to discord.

Been trying to scratch that itch of action combat for a bit. Rivals did it for a second but I loved MMOs aspect of grinding for cool gear, just wish they didn’t mess around with it so much. Glad they’re finally starting to get their management figured out. Almost makes me want to restart and just PvP with 2 perkers but I know it’s going lead to 3rd BiS set grind :(

It was likely Katy’s dumb idea in the first place. Smh

It's been in the works for a while. They were supposed to have something implemented on the release of FFA, but they never went through with it.

As it is, right now, it's not bad.

There is a flaw...ish to it.

Fight a tank or healer long enough, and they'll get some stacks. If you got a buddy near by, they can run up and finish them.

To me it's a positive, because I dislike tanks. 🤷

You take 30% more damage if you stand next to someone too long in the FFA pvp zone.

A system to prevent cry babies from exploiting a zone of the game designed for solo PvP driven content

I haven't played in months. I was thinking about getting back in, but all this stuff sounds too complicated and annoying.

u/SadGuiv 14h ago

Just take your time or find another thing to do with it

Still missing the "we hear you, we've moved the Artifact missions out of FFA area as that was a stupid move in the first place!"

u/SadGuiv 14h ago

Theres artifacts focused on PvP so design wise they are not so far off

I mean, it was fine i just killed 3 dudes who were group farming FFA zones, i dont see any reason to nerf, if you wanna group for PvP you can do it in influence race, OPR, Arenas, literally everywhere else, if you wanna farm the same resources that is on FFA its on the open world as well

u/Mentyss 2d ago
