#36300482466 07/27/2008 04:47:44 Datamine: FFA why isn't it being used?

So, I was thinking, I do it alot, but yea, why is this construct not used more? I mean this server is mostly machine now, and yet we still gang up on 1 or 2 people in mara... Why is the construct, that everyone, including myself, not being used for free for all pvp? What is the deal here? The other orgs don't do it, cause they don't have enough people, machines, if you are pvpers, and we are all friends, I see no reason why we can't pvp ageinst each other in that construct.

I mean alot of us, myself included are bored, I see it all the time, there is a means to fight your friends now, please use it... It's not like anyone is gonna get mad in pvp, machines are all mature, and if someone does, they don't have to pvp. I'm just saying, use the construct more often, it's there for us to have fun in, and I really think we should start using it more.

2 vs 1 is being kind its more a 5:1 ratio, but yes dm is a good place but costs 100k for 2-3 times to get there :/

I am going to quote this because it is true.  SMILEY

The constructs is where PVP should take place mostly, yet people are destined to fight at Mara C putting countless bluepills at risk and then go into an uproar when the devs implement something that ever so slightly presses against what the movies did.

Allowing Hardline access to the contructs would really help.

There can only be room for one Snake, and one Big Boss!

The ability to farm the shades is impossible so you get less showing up. Mid level players get ganked because high levels know exactly where they are. Datamining for info is BORING, and you can't fight a pure loadout so all you can do is HJ and that pisses everyone off, so they say screw it.

I don't really understand people's qualms with the process to get to constructs.  You'll stand around Mara C doing nothing for an hour or 2, but not at the archive proxy for 5-10 minutes?
#36300482513 07/27/2008 11:51:54 Re:Datamine: FFA why isn't it being used?
Proxy is every 3mins.

No, it really wouldn't. I have a great idea. When I do missions, I shouldn't have to go to the missions to do them, I should just click a few buttons and ta-da I'm there. That would dramatically increase the desire to do missions, yes?

Oh, but it's not that, you like to complain about, it's the fact if you happen to miss the proxy, you have to wait a grand total of 3 minutes, not counting the times when you actually get to the proxy when the countdown has already started which is even less.

"That's a whole lot of rubbish, if you ask me."

Maybe it's because no one really cares about Datamine anymore when it comes to PvP, unless its game mechanics have to be used for a certain event, or someone wants SSR items. I don't see people complaining about "zomg y no one frm fly monstars anymore, i wnt mah headgaer" because generally people know that it's tedious and that it's old content. FFA PvP at the time was something different, and got a lot of good feedback when used during that Joker event. Now we have a place for FFA PvP that we can use whenever we want, but after awhile, we all end up back at square 1, which is Mara C. I'm sure a lot of PvPers will tell you that they want to PvP where the PvP is at of course, and that is nearly most of the time, unless there's new content or a live event about, at Mara.

I completely agree Ballak.

It seems that no matter what Rarebit comes up with, no matter what new stuff we get, after a couple months we're always back to PVP at Mara C.  We're used to it, it's our PVP home plate. 

Heck, I rarely PVP and I know this.
