PSA Devs - This is some of the worst PvP implementation I have ever seen in a video game ever. Some thoughts:

  • It probably takes about 12 hours of gameplay just to get to level 20 - the level necessary to PvP (The one and only thing this does to all the PvP players in the gaming world is tell them to F' off)
  • Once you get to level 20 Red Basin doesn't matchmake because gear heads with alts will just 1300 gear score low levs (So no ban on A weapons and such in low level PvP game mode). So you got that one rare PvP player patient enough to get to level 20 - and then you tell them to F' off again
  • Targeting system is different from PvE to PvP - that took me a few hot days to figure out on my own
  • Open world PvP - sorry - some sites say this game has it. WHERE??? Didn't see it. Oh wait - I get it - it is so late the friggin game anyone who wanted to try it - already rage quit in frustration

You need to go full stop - back to the drawing board. Figure out if you even want PvP in your game. If you do - you have to make it available from the beginning for new players to jump right in and gate keep it throughout the leveling up process with Gear Score and Weapon Grade Barriers. - This 'jump in and wait 28 levels' crap has got to end.

If you don't want PvP in your game - just remove it an make all the PvE people happy. This straddling the fence stuff is probably only pleasing a micro set of individuals who thrive in the current system. Of which there are probably less than 100 on each platform.

Thanks for listening to my rant.

When Bless Unleashed was just a design document, before any actual physical development was happening, it had no open world pvp. In conception, BU was a just open world pve. One day designers were sitting around the table discussing what they could do to give players in higher-level areas a heightened sense of anxiety and danger. They added pvp in the open world for that purpose, essentially tagging pvp onto an already conceptualized pve world. This is why the game feels incomplete to people coming in expecting a full pvp experience, and feels abrasive to people expecting to find a typical pve game.

What you're seeing now is a process of devs trying to complete and find a balance for the system. So if you're here for just the pvp, may I suggest fortnite?

Red basin being divided into level categories is ridiculous in a game where gear score is so much more important than level. They should just lump everyone together or divide it into gear score categories.

There used to be a lot more freedom and availability to the open world pvp system, but some people were abusing that system to intentionally ruin other people's enjoyment of the game. So you can thank field-boss PKers and noob-farmers in Tristezza for forcing the devs to add restrictions. Until we can learn to pvp responsibly and with respect for each other, the restrictions and penalties will continue to increase.

So as well all know I'm a noob so I shall proceed with my noob point of view and ask some noob questions . Pvp in open world only works when whole area of said world are set as pvp for race type . Ergo. If you are not of that race and u enter you can be attacked . But you have no reason to enter these area as missions are give in both race areas . The pvp players can go and attack who they like but eventually get ganged up on and moved out .pvp arenas has to be gear limited I can not belive its not how crazy you can have a noob first time in there coming up against a alt fully myth out . ridiculous at least if the noob was in with c gear or B gear score lvl they could have a few hits in before they get moooshed. That's just my little opinion. OK for the noob questions . After entering a disputed area am I at risk from everyone or do I have to turn on "pvp" as not once have I been attacked in a disputed area . Ps4 euro

You cannot opt out of pvp in disputed areas, but you need to activate pvp mode before you can initiate an attack on other players
