not winning PVP is what made me want to play the game more. I had a goal. I wanted better gear for pvp, I wanted to be able to at least keep up. PvP was my incentive to log in.

Yeah, thereās always a combo thatās REALLY good at something, and it can outperform the majority when you play it right.
That just means thereās now something else that became a viable build, because youāre prepared to take down a specialist.
While this is difficult in short fights like Shambala, in any of the longer PvP zones you had time to swap builds.

Shamblabla doesnāt allow you to respawn, so adapting your decks on the fly to sustain the fight is not possible.

This was actually one feature that made PvP in TSW very unique in comparison to other games I would change or tweak my build sometimes 10-15 times in a Stonehenge or El Dorado match and others would do the same making it extremely dynamic.

just to chime in for fun, ā¦incentivizing PVP scene with cosmetics and titles.
ā¦that will be true for seasonal PVE, or dungeons and raids which can become āexhaustiveā after a very very long while and sense of achievement is good way to appreciate that.
On the other hand using PVP for refueling PVE burnouts I guess is a thing;
for TSW, I think PVP was supposed to be running 24x7 all days of year refueling all the aspects of engine to the brimā¦not just seasonal PVP day.
experts and newbs can not balance on there ownā¦engine may be running but to gear it up to its real potential I think is hidden and secret.
for SWL, shambala pops are rare during my play timeā¦someone should do something about itā¦
You can run away and hide long enough to leave combat in some matches, which would (in TSW) allow you to quickly swap to a healtank build and proceed to gleefully heal yourself through full weather until the other team wiped looking for you.

I have no idea why Shambala did not get an Agent. That is some serious booty.

I know some people cry when there are rewards only obtainable via PvP but something like a .5% chance to the winning team of a dossier would have gone a long way in boosting player participation. What I mean by this is not having one specific dossier drop in Shambala but a very low chance of any.

Because the only reason why Shambala ever poppe din TSW was signets. No signets given in SWL for Shambala = no pop. Sad but true.
That said, i agree pvp is very good to refresh the grind fatigue timer of the players.

Was great hearing Antida and Verittas talk about the PVP thread on BTV the other night

What did they say ?
Awesome, I will have to check that out. Was at work so missed it but the more attention the topic receives the better. Really appreciate all the support. I honestly thought most of the PvP community had given up hope but posts like this show how strong the community really is.

Also, from what i saw of the Dev stream, there seemed to be quite a number of people turned up to Seoul FC. Shows PVP is still in demand however itās happening.

Yeah thatās the disturbing paradox about it, but i just feel like people just pretend to go on a classic agartha megaboss while appearing on the devstream.
It looks like kind of a community meme and nothing PvP per say.
Sorry.

I get what your saying I actually went a time before to when there was a beat up Andy stream and after he left the main arena almost everyone went and stood in the waiting area with him so as to say hey look at us weāre all on TV! Myself and a handful of pvprs stayed in the arena and duked it out for a while but it was kinda a sad abrupt end to what felt like a ton of fun at first.

I dunno if anything like it happens anymore, but in TSW, I remember Trevalin of Gridstream hosting monthly DJ parties in Londonās fight club. Those were so much fun. Anything like that happen now?
DJ Hope used to. Hopefully I have the name correct. I think she did one in SWL but most times itās in Agartha
Agarthaās club and cafe is a lore-wrecking sin.
It used to be the heart of the hollow earth, an ancestral nexus of primal energies.
Now itās disfigured by a mall, jump pads and bots flying around in jetpacks.
That dancefloor have nothing to do here and the unique track that plays there is flat and sterile.
The Crusades is a stylish club that was partially intended as a rally point for RFG, but the devs mistook the population of agartha for hub preference while everyone was just LFGā¦
Hey, iām not usually into this but PvP players gotta stick together, so why not try to reunite and make a screenshot of us wearing our PvP gear ?
