Time For Some PvP Changes/Additions?

Hey guys. This post is going to talk about some things in the PvP area of FlyFF that I would like to see improved or added to the game.

First, let's start off with what could be improved. For 1, the way PvP is now, and for those of you who don't know what that is, it means Player vs. Player, is that you either step into the arena, which you get can to from any major city, and duke it out between anyone and everyone. You can ask another player for a duel in which you 2 are the only players that are able to hit each other. Or, there are Guild Sieges.

For starters, I don't really like the arena. I feel that you can never get a fair fight if you want to go against a bunch of people. There are always people running around the area killing people many levels lower than them and it completely ruins the game for them. In my opinion, while you are in the arena, you shouldn't be allowed to fight anyone that is within 19 levels of you. That way, there is some restrictions as to who can completely own you and who you can have a fair fight between. I feel if this was implemented, many people would enjoy hanging out in the arena fighting people their level. Or, they would enjoy watching 2 high level players fight up close without having to worry about someone killing them.

Next, I would like to get into Duels. Duels in my opinion, are fine the way they are. You can issue a duel between you and a friend, or even a random stranger, and fight to see who wins. They are very balanced and you never have to worry about getting killed from a random stranger. Also, you guys can set the rules with each other. For example, no food is allowed, or certain buffs aren't allowed. It is definitely the way I have the most fun in the game when it comes to PvP.

Finally, my thoughts on Guild Sieges. Well, first I would like to say that I was never involved in one in my many years of playing FlyFF. Reason being is because I never really joined a guild that ever did them, or even a guild that ever communicated with each other. I generally always went guild-less in the game and only joined a guild if one of my friends was the GM for it. But lately, I haven't really ever seen a Guild Siege go on. And when they do happen, people just trade wins in order to get chips. I feel that Guild Siege has completely fallen away from FlyFF and no one does them to see who has the better players. It's quite sad honestly.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on the current PvP that we have available to us in FlyFF. So, what would I like to see added to the game?

Well, for 1, I would like there to be some sort of proper PvP entering system available to us. For instance, an NPC that people can go to in order to "queue" themselves up for different types of PvP selections. For instance, a capture the flag game, a death-match game, or eve a free-for-all game. Of course there will be different brackets available so that people are fighting others that are within a certain level of each other. But personally, I think that this would definitely encourage people to play this game and it will allow people who hit max level to have something else to do rather than just sit around, farm the same items over and over, and try to make money.

What are your opinions on the current PvP things available to us? Do you think that G-Potato is looking past PvP and doesn't care about it? And what are your opinions on what I suggest?

Thanks a bunch and I'm looking forward to reading your responses.

Idea For A New Selling System In FlyFF

Well, as many of you, if not all of you know, FlyFF has the type of item selling system that not many games nowadays run off of, and that is the Private Shop system. In the major cities, and I believe in some other places, you are able to open up a shop and sell items for whatever price you would like for other players to purchase. You can create a helpful title so other players know exactly what you are selling and it makes it easier for your items to sell. Ever since I have played this game, I have always loved this as a way to buy items for great prices. But recently, it hasn't grown onto me as much.

For 1, it takes quite a bit of time to cycle through the 3 main cities and scan every shop manually. I remember back in the day, I used to spend 1-2 hours a day browsing through all the shops to end up not finding what I wanted, or finding it but for a ridiculous price. I feel that this really isn't an efficient way to sell items nowadays, especially since many games have the "Auction House" style for selling goods. It is much cleaner, faster, and more efficient. Not to mention, it gets rid of a TON of lag in major cities since there aren't hundreds of characters trying to sell different things with titles that half the time, make no sense.

So recently, I have been thinking. Maybe it is time that FlyFF to leave the "Private Shop" system behind and jump on the bandwagon and open up the "Auction House" style. I feel that this would be much more helpful to players to find what they want, and for the price they want it, fast and easy. They wouldn't need to spam the chat looking for a certain item, and more importantly, they wouldn't need to waste hours a day looking for that 1 item when they could be leveling. I just feel that it would be a much easier and cleaner way for the game to run and it would make it much more enjoyable.

What are your thoughts? Should the "Private Shop" stay? Should they implement an "Auction House?" Should they combine the 2? Or, should they leave it the way it is and not mess with something that seems to have been working since the beginning?

Let me know :)

Finally Able To Login

A quick post just letting you guys and girls know that after much wait, I have finally been able to log into the game. I honestly have no idea what was causing this problem for me. I thought that it was a corrupted file or something that was causing my game to instantly freeze, but that wasn't the problem. I know this because i tried a full uninstall of the game and then a full reinstall and that still didn't work. The only thing that I can think of for this not working is maybe....yea...I got nothing.

But whatever. Since I am finally able to log into the game, I will be able to throw some more posts at all of you. Hopefully you guys have enjoyed my posts recently, and sorry again for the delay in them. I was going to post on my thoughts of the patches today, but I will leave that for tomorrow since I got a ton of college work to get done tonight.

Thanks again for your patience :)
