The best hsoma gvw yet?

Author Content Date
The GVW actively promotes bruter force with some accompanying healing as the only real tactic. It's a large open space witha single stone, there is nothing else to do but direct that brutfe force to those immediately visible as a threat thanks to the large open space. In turn, stronger players tend to gravitate towards each other, forming strong guilds. Therefore; the GVW is often dominated by the same guilds such as Eq. This will cause some resentment and will make people determined to prevent them getting it again. It's just common sense.

If the stronger players spread themsleves out more when it coems to guild choices the war would be more variable, fun and less perceieved as personal.

"HORUS"Sick of you guys thinking you can get involved in the war for 1 hour a week then after go on like everything's fine .


I don't see why this isn't the case. Isn't that what GVW is about? To test your STR?

Anyway I loved watching the GVW, I didn't notice that many alliances at all but could be me.

Not bitter at all, it was a good war. People go pking after gvw because they're already kitted out to do so... I don't see why people complain about the odd mass pk spree, it's what soma is all about.

Addressing a few points....

On the mass PK spree, it happens every war. Bring a scroll and hit it when war is over. Is it really that hard,

On the war. The first 40 minutes nothing happened. Why? Because the fact is the Chinese came to this gvw in force, and the only way to kill them, is for EQ to come. Just like the only way to kill EQ is the Chinese to come! You need each other for a good gvw.

Is just a big pot and Barr waste trying to do anything before hand. Would you rather we stood in town doing nothing? Or at the village doing nothing?

As soon as you guys came, the last 20 minutes was a free for all. And it was good.

Maybe an idea to get round this, is a GVW vendor who sells free pots and potions only to be used in the village hall? Because otherwise we may as we'll just cut it down to a 20 minute fight.

So many people crying about a PK raid on every map after the war. How about man up and get on with it. Try enjoy all aspects of the game rather than just mindlessly hunting (for the most part) and try rock the boat and have some fun on the server.

PVP is a big part of an open PVP game. If we won or lost I would be saying the same but either way you'll find something to complain about, carebears.

Why is war an hour long anyway?

Everything comes down to the last 10-15mins anyway, whether there is an equal fight between two sides, or a big rush against a dominating guild. Nobody is interested in the first 30mins of fighting half-heartedly and burning pots without gaining an important position or discouraging other guilds.

If it was reduced to 30m it would be more exciting I think.

I agree with this, a 30 mins war would be the way forward

Changing the duration is silly. If you want to only go for 30 mins then do so. It's certainly not something we need to change.

Exactly. The player chooses the duration, you just turn up with 30 minutes remaining...

You are missing my point.. as in there is a constant war going on between us and the chinese lords, it is a constant on going feud. These gents who are in the "neutral" zone except for the 1 hour a week where they heal/cure the chinese is my meaning.

And if your honestly saying it seemed like there was no alliance then i dont know what else to say... (:

The alliance is good was a very intense and enjoyable war just lets call a spade a spade.

Long as these alliances ain't planned and are just the result of wanting a different guild to win,
happening with Dsoma atm, efukt won 3 on trot so most wanting to see lose

Shouldn't then go about bullieing cos this happened, understandable if the alliance is planned before hand

"REHLINA"happening with Dsoma atm, efukt won 3 on trot so most wanting to see lose

This happens on dsoma regardless, I always have people hitting me non defenders included weather the guild I'm in owns the village or not. I've ran in the hall before and seen guilds just standing around the stone like lemons doing nothing until I get there.

It used to bug me but now I just put it down to certain people not understanding how gvw actually works.
