PvP challenge and support classes: unfair since based on RP

[Zas_]

As we all know this PvP event is easier for damage dealers since RP system still favors a lot damages made on target.

I can predict that finalists will be mostly barbs and marx...

I hope we'll have another event taking in account support classes, or a serious fix in RP system if this system is used again in future for such events.

Not even high damage works. I've done like 1000+ damaging south crosses and still only get less than 4 RP on my knight, while my barb gets much more RP doing the same or even less damage with less efforts. It's really just a event for Barbs, Marks and Locks.

The way RP is distributed has always been unfair.


EDIT: I remember once doing 80% of the damage on a normal target, some barb shows up and finishes the kill, yet I only got 6 RPs.

Not fair? lol...
Try losing to a guy that was abusing chocolates every time there was a few rp to gain and asking enemies on irc for free kills. >.>

Or how about a tied contest with 2 hours left and going to samal only to find 4 high level barbs all abusing chocolates next to our brave hero contest winner....

Not fair.... lol... gl with this...

I opted out. I learned for the other event that I did not have a prayer unless I played 24/7 and built a full knarb selfish setup. I am not prepared to play like that for a silly mug and a tee shirt.

When NGD develops events for RvR (groups) then I might consider doing one of these events. When they eventually develop tools to trace other markers it would be better. I mean it is our Conjurers and Knights that are supporting those barbs , locks and marks to get those tally counts. We forget that.

I played a different game for a short time where players got ranks if they killed players and used certain spells in war. Of course you had to use this spell successfully on opponents X amount of times to have the rank attached to your name. Once you finish you could get another quest and get another spell you must use to attain a different rank. NGD should consider this as a way to improve diversity in spells and at the same time give all classes a chance at these types of things.
To my mind RP may be the simplest way to decide but it is also quite flawed and antiquated way to judge things.

Another recycled event which hasn't really had the greatest deal of thought put into it.

I would be happy without events for a whole year if NGD focussed on the fixing the RvR balance which they somewhat broke with the warmasters update and perhaps the numerous existing bugs while they are at it.

Event was fun for a few days, until you realise, the bugs are still there, the imbalance is still there, the lame WM update is still there, the lack of open field wars and bridge wars still exists, I could continue listing, but I am sure NGD are aware of the majority of sources of unhappiness.

As though the last event which this has been recycled from was not evidence enough that RP gain is pointless and favours damage dealers. Yet they go on to recycle a useless, I'd go as far as saying broken, event regardless.

I appreciate the intention behind adding such challenges, however, I also agree to everything said here so far.

Until problems with the xp/rp distribution are fixed I suggest evaluating such events per class.

It's not umasing NGD?...When wee had a balance more or less fair..but better as now..was lots of this kind events suggestions...nothing happened ofc.
After they broken balance...upps take a look ...a PvP event in a game complets designed for RvR and mass random push buttons...this made me to laught a lots.Not even worth to login in game for such a event when gameplay/balnce it's broken more as ever it was.
