Thread: Keep flipping vrs pvp

KK lets face it keep flipping is easy and a guaranteed way of making comms ,personally i had a good hr of pvp today and clocked just under 2k comms....in theory i think this was turbines forward way of thinking (players will pvp like hell to make comms) although this backfired and lead to red/blue/red/blue and nearly zero pvp .

So imo flip vrs pvp.....pvp wins hands down and is way faster to earn comms ,dont think this will make much difference to players hunger for comms but ya never know just have think about it thx.

I agree with you Pouch, but the Comms issue has made Ettens as much a PVE map as a PVMP one now. I ranked to rank 8 on my WL this evening, I had enough Comms to buy the skill upgrades etc but could not get the appearance as that alone costs 7,500 Comms, and the easiest way to get that as much as PVP is to aslo PVE. I had all the Lumis, + other stones + 1 million DP saved up, enough to get everything I needed before U6, but this change has meant creeps need to grind Comms as much as freeps do and PVP will suffer. With the 10K Comms cap no decently ranked Creep will never have enough Comms to obtain everything needed or desired after they rank. The only slight postive is that more Creeps and Freeps roam the more obscure areas of the map now and sometimes some good fights on chance encounters can be had, but usually because Comms and not PVP was the motive for being in that area, therefore NPCS are usually involved either for or against Creep/Freep so even that can unbalance a good PVP fight in such an encounter. It is beyond ridiculous that with all the improvements Devs could have made to PVP (and PVE) they wasted time on a currency system nobody either side was asking for or felt was needed. The only Dev agenda I can see was not PVP or PVE improvement, but to get people to buy TP at the store. But hey, we still have the Bird at the tree we can kill, the greatest PVP update ever. Sigh.

Well, the new currency was made to encourage pvp rather then pve in ettens. Yet they gave every quest a comms reward. Anyone can see where they messed up here ?

/agree nakah/trium

Tbh i was expecting a pvp drop due to the new pve area etc and rewards ,just didnt forsee a complete pvp drop (sigh) its picking up abit i suppose, anyways have think about it few hrs of pvp outways pve in ettons by miles comms etc.

De-rail but what you lot think of the Creep/Freep balance now 50/50 must be close now ?

regards pouch

I may have misunderstood this but did you say you earned just under 2000 Comm in one hour by PvPing, not PvEing?

well if you want PvP then you're always welcome to seek out my warg. I'm rarely alone (I'm a packwarg, always been and proud of it ) but I'm no fan of all this PvE keep flipping either and would prefer a good fight any day. You could always bring a few friends if my pack is large that day

+1 to pouch.

Killing solo 2 creeps/freeps takes what 3min per fight max?

so lets say if odds are on your side, you get 2 players running straight to you, get the kills thats minimum of 1 keepflip worth of commendations, so yes pvp > pve.

More pvp please!

Problem is that they decided to give loads of commendations for incredibly easy deeds (2k from deeds alone for a map flip if you kill chieftans). If you have a spare creep slot you can just infinitely re-roll to get that extra 2k each time the map is flipped back red.

I agree, perhaps if the amount of commendations were reduced for PVE keep flips but increased for other things such as the actual quests you get from the keeps it would reduce the rush for keep flipping. If the amount you received for the map deeds were also increased then perhaps there would not be such a rush to delete the spare creep slot.

I still dont see the point of commendations anyway
