Level max. In PVP if you would start playing on a PVP-server.You have to run around in the encumberance build.
Now, because the servers never wipe.There are players who already collected all their heavy materials and now patrol hotspots in a strength build with the best gear.
The frustration you feel when one of these players kills you and simply steals all your valuable stuff is something to experience in life.
On a high pop server there are many players like that and it is not uncommon to get raided on a daily basis for 7 days in a row when starting fresh.
Just think about that for a sec. You start a game and everyday for 7 days in a row,the only thing you get to keep from all your hard work is the levels and the recipe you have unlocked.Who wants to play guys?
Noone? Yeah its shows in the playerlist.
Not only is the encumberance build superweak vs the pvp strength build with atributes alone.On top of that, the gear like weapons,potions,food,armor,etc
Go to Dogs of the Desert training server and try doing some pvp in a encumberance build while having your weight at least above 75%.You will not stand a chance.
Get spotted as a new player on a pvp server: Back to the stone age.
The pvp strength build has full strength,vitality and agility.giving him extra movement speed,faster rolling,less stamina drain on anything,faster stamina regen,etc…
It just doesnt make any sense to make certain builds so OP in comparison to the early game of a player in a pvp setting.Pvp is about Player vs Player and not about PVE .The gap is too big when choosing a specific build.
just let us have all attributes on pvp servers,noone cares for pve anyways there,its just to get weapons,armor and bombs.
The darkness: If i want to be in darkness i can simply go outside and experience the inability to see anything.When im playing computer games i want to see the game im playing, because i didnt spend 2k on a pc with a good graphics card and monitor only to log in and have half the time my screen completely black
The reason people flok to these private solo,duo,trio servers is because they dont want to sit in discord with a bunch of people who have the tv on ,kids,pets,etc screaming in the background.While beeing reminded every 5 min for 5hrs a day to check the event log.
Knowing that what they build is actually useless because in the back of their mind they already know they cant be online 7 days a week 5hrs a day.
The moment they are actually online during raid time, half their clan isnt and they get steamrolled by a 10 man clan who happened to be online that day.
Back to the stone age.
7 days of getting robbed to work your ass off to get a base going only to see it get destroyed 2 days later.Not because you didnt have the skill or time to defend it.Because simply,the raid times are insane and encumberance build cant compete with strength build.
