The Great Delay

After a year + of playing, i've reached lvl 73. I'm so happy, you know, I got my 72 sword, my 72 shield ( both +5 w/ blues ) and my skills are well balanced, and I utilize the new snow shield, nukes, and kd + stab skills.

So, I went out to thief for the first time in months, just to kick some arse...

Some kid who was lvl 30 3 weeks ago killed me in one hit. He's a 64-68 wizard. Ok, no big deal, bad luck right?

I went out again. This time, a crossbower killed me in one hit.

And I know for a fact both of these players have been pleveled to 60-70.

So, is anyone else in my situation? Cause right now I'm seriously not sure what to do in this game...

euro has adventage if they give the first it.. but if you hit them first you can kill em easy you can also use the iron shield and if you wear garment cause its "cool" should use armor or protector right now.. and i must agree euro are way to over powered.. -.- its sucks so bad after sosun.. euro >.> i hate this update personaly

lol, I knew this type of post would happen, and have nothing against it.
But to keep the game balanced, euros would need no pot delay, and weaker attacks. Now what I think, there wouldnt be any difference between Chinese and Euro, which would make the game pointless. Its a game where you "have" to watch your back, there will "always" be someone stronger than you. So all I can say is bad luck, and get the first shot in, and you shouldve beat either a crossbow or wiz.

they could have changed skill effect and stuff like this, now they made a new pvp system that doesnt fit the game...

like they added new status to chinese skills, dull, bleed and stuff.

make new weapon and make new mastery wich only euro could use, dont make overpowered skill keep the magic/physical we had in chinese char with hybrid and stuff...

take example at guildwars, new profession are always balanced they have self heal, energy management, condition skills and somtime move speed skills.

they wont change how attribute work on the new class, they wont change how armor is calculated on new class they will keep everything balanced since its how Guildwars is : Balanced pvp environnement.

Pvp cape argument recently:

Lvl 7x xbow euro: No pvp if you use snow shield.
Me: Well, you use crossbow extreme, whats the difference? o_0
Lvl 7x xbow euro: (goes into stealth)
Me: (Take cape off and went lvling)

The current pvp chi vs euro is like quickdraw, first to shoot wins

. The flip side is I've seen a lvl 7x pure int nuker getting multiple buffs from several clerics. Ever seen a juggernaut in sro? Well, 20+ lvl 7x players couldnt kill him for 2mins.

Ok, So I have spent a few hours just cape pvping lvl 70+ euros...

It seems that having an armor set and garm set really helps when facing certain classes. The fire tree's invisible/stealth detect is a life savor, and now no one approches without getting seen. Snow shield at 41% is great to activate right away, and I upped all my buffs for more mag dmg, more speed, more ghost walk, and more phys defense. Also, having a good shield is a big plus, something most euro players ( except clerics and locks ) usually wont have.

All I have to say is..

Yeah, it's tough, but once I got to know my build when confronted with a new enemy, I feel very confident now. ^^ Seems that invis/stealth were in my way the most, and once I partied up with other euros ( getting buffed ) it was all good ^^

dont worry about it. simply because you were pwned in pvp twice doesnt mean you suck at SRO. Theres probably a lot more ppl envious of you than jealous. enjoy pwning noobs at your lvl

Chinese vs Chinese = Pot War
Euro vs Euro = Lame
Chinese vs Euro = QuickDraw

So basically... pvp system atm is LAME.... unless its...

Chinese and Euro vs Euro and Chinese... which will be pretty balanced.

There isnt much place anymore in cape 1on1 involving euro. Looks like those colored capes are slowly becoming more than just attractive colors around our char's necks ^_^

...maybe one day I'll get to see someone spamming "We need a cleric for the red team". Dont know when that time will be sadly

It's not really bad luck here. It is just that whoever hits first will be the winner. That's how it is for European, especially wizards.

About the pvp, I'd love to see a full party of Europe pvp with a full of party of Chinese.

Then we definitely have more things to discuss.

Yeah and also for the chinese have your friends help you while jobbing...for example a blader (pure str) and a bower (pure str) (pure str because they can tank) the bower can start attacking from far range and weaken the Euro (or maybe even kill him, with a crit) and the blader can run up and do either a combo or KD. This could take ANY euro out

If your jobbing and in invisible wiz gets the drop on you it'll probably be over quickly especially if the wiz is buffed...and a blader isn't much threat to a Euro team or party if he's all by himself
