Now, it’s a PvP fight is more about how skilled you are versus who made the better weapon and armor. You could have better armor or weapons but if I’m better at managing my stamina and health, then I can beat you. Before it was, stun lock and boom. Done. Also, I’ve noticed PvP fights last longer because people are more careful at their attacks than just button spamming. The PvE fights are also more fun. It’s nice to not get attacked by 50 AI when I’m across the camp from others. They do hit harder but again, better management of the fight will win the fight.
