Classic pvp people actually jousted and a well organized group actually had a chance to outplay a larger force simply due to the fact that you could kite people around, and 5 people chasing 1 person might not land a kill with inability to cc the target as well as nukes resisting on someone with high resists.

Here pvp is decided by 18 second t-staff/skean which always seems to proc in the first combat round as well as highsun spam perma disabling someone, root/snare/stun/blind landing on 300 mr on the first or second cast, wizards pillaring you from out of visible target range in 2.5 seconds, mage pets landing nonstop stuns and roots on you, and rogues/monks bursting 300+ dps onto golem wanded casters with 1200 hp, and nuking classes landing full damage nukes on 160+ resists 70%+ of the time.

People just get blown up and since damage is so high all the cc that is landing that shouldn't be landing is a death sentence to anyone.

The lack of attention to these major issues for months is main reason people don't log in anymore, among other reasons...such as the experience penalty crushing sub 60 players and doing almost nothing to a level 60 who will dip below 100 % into 60 for a day or two.

Killing good players isn't even an accomplishment with current pvp implementation.

can confirm roots /snares stuns never were used on live, however as a mage in velious i never ever had someone resist my nukes, even bards, so if you expect youll be resisting fire/cold nukes, you're wrong

but i agree, resists needs to be tweaked but it seems to have to be done on a spell to spell basies

Predicted like 2 weeks after launch server would tank because of xp loss, 90% of forum was telling me to shut up, cant be bothered to look for/remember my old banned forum name.

Mostly holocaust, because they enjoyed griefing people off the server and the advantage it gave em through zerging, and Nihilum later on, because of the advantage it gave em through zerging.

It was obvious it was going to happen, and transparent why Holos and Nihis didnt want the mechanic to go.

mage bolts/spells on live had a different resis check becuase they didnt just instantly land like wizards and all other casters
