What makes you enjoy PVP

[Dekkrior]

I don't, I just want to do community policing and passive rp.

I enjoy pistol only pvp because its much more chaotic and because this isn't Fallujah Iraq It's a western city.

The PVP culture (by other players) on this server is straight dogshit and its obscure how some of the people on this server find it fun as it just relies on mass flanking and zerging no actual fun compared to the much more traditional v5 PVP which required skill or some actual plan

This was always the culture. Maybe I’m just too newgen but majority of the top orgs from back then were massive zergs like Legacy and Tax Collectors.

I remember one time me Medium and Katya Love got 11 man raided and we genuinely killed majority just for 3 more to come after flanking pd and kill us. This Zerg mentality has always been a massive part of pvp because it’s simply a guaranteed way of winning; nobody likes losing.

Zerging is practically now required to combat other orgs and pd since the map is massive and other organizations have 15+ people.

I don’t disagree with your argument because there were orgs like MiP, Partabellum, and Grow Inc (made it to top 2 orgs so I count them) that garnerd massive org xp from combat and drugs while only having a set few active members but anyone else relied on numbers. The only reason some people say “V5 was better” is because of nostalgia and their own participation in zerging. The “actual plan” you are talking about probably includes 3 people flanking, 1 as50 posted near the raid , 2 people holding the entrance, and 4 others pushing in.

Idk about required it's a RP server i dont think people should regularly be killing PD unless this server has now became Antistasi. Also on a different note i find this whole "the server is dead no one is basing point" straight up stupid as the people who complain about these issues always have like 8 people in their base or are all friends with 90% of the server apparently.

Yes zerging has been a thing however I've never recalled it being this obnoxious to the point where people will zerg the entire server, whinge when others zerg to defend themselves and it just creates mega zergs making the server horrible for everyone. However in V5 orgs were able to do small raids without requiring a quadrillion people however the incredibly shitty pvp on this server is simply a cycle of others simply mimicking how other bigger orgs play and copying them then said big orgs complain when they dont have total control of the PVP aspect of the server.

If you genuinely find just mass flanking cops and spamming as50s fun you maybe don't actually like the challenge of PVP and rather it just being easy. However the things ive listed above makes playing the server as a criminal or cop just a incredibly horrible experience as its not actually recreational nowadays

Killing the PD, unless they call the area Code 6, is how I'd imagine most raids resolve, and I'm certain that high-ranked PD players are used to doing that. Counters and flanking remain an ever-present threat, and I'm sure orgs are able to prevent that in their operations. I was never aware that it had not been the case in previous years, or that zerging was a recently resurging phenomenon.

I wish I had the experience to say that mass flanking cops or spamming AS50s is fun. I've only ever operated the thing with ironsights in a Red Team/Blue Team event one time. I can see how it would be overpowering, and having been raided by AS50 users, the wall penetration mechanic gets scary. Seems like it works; would try it if I didn't have the gear fear.

To the point of competitiveness, I personally accept that as a lower-tier PvPer, I will not to reach that same echelon that those more trained and tenured players have, both inside and outside Paralake. Having been raided, I try to internalize those experiences and what I've learned from them to apply them offensively and defensively. The red and black screens are my time to breathe, reflect, and get ragebaited in OOC chat. The best competition is the one you have with yourself.


Despite the setbacks, despite the mechanical issues other players have brought up, and despite personal losses should I be involved in PvP, I return. I do my daily missions when I connect, accepting potential gains and losses as part of the circle of (new) life (rule). Though material benefits may be meager, high-skill players and orgs reap the rewards and prestige of their initial investments and combat. Raids are one of many ways to gamble, and either cards get played wrong or, more often, they just don't fall desirably. Most days I base, I see and accept myself as a free rifle to be stored or confiscated, a cog in the machine of a viscerally cathartic expression. In the end, it is something to be appreciated.

It's not too bad...
I personally don't like that every single house is a bunker of concrete bookshelf fence spotlight spam and, not only does it make for a poor feeling of a "real" city, but, it also turns pvp into peekaboo gameplay when there's a lot of people staring one doorway.
I also am not the biggest fan of bank robberies... I find them boring and bricky and too long at times when certain conditions are met... there really needs to be one more entrance or a way for cops to push sewers or sum...

Apart from that its not too bad i guess

in my opinion getting money is to easy, you get around 200k+ an hour doing coke with chem table. Which is a joke, thats about 10+ rifles an hour. The drug update has been talked about for abit now, but still havent seen much to it.

When people dont have a problem with money, they wont with guns either. People as50 spam, because they can just get more. raiding with 1-5 people sucks because you gotta deal with so much tfu, that doesnt push. Compare to v5 tfu actually pushed even if they died, they had way more balls then v6. its not about Zerging etc, its all about people playstyles, if tfus dont push then you want flankers.

Zerging will never be stopped unless smt steps in, but people zerg because dealing with so many cops sucks, especially if they dont push.

i mean this is atleast my opinion for it.

PLEASE I BEG RELEASE THE DRUG UPDATE AND MAKE GUNS MORE EXPENSIVE!!!
