Thanks, for the info, this looks great.

I would really like to see the new Duelling Grounds balance and alternative pvp mode "Chance to pick race and play on max level (unranked)"

PvE medals sounds nice too Hopefully some people won't noob bash in pvp to get Blinglord next era

Alright. So much of this is coming in next era. A lot of this stuff sounds good (I notice that there are going to be no fixes to the accursed Ingame Patria manager?), so even though all this sounds good, I would like to be able to test this out before I would be able to give proper feedback.

David,

Is there any chance of a fair compensation for the PVP player?

My point: If I spend 2 hours in PVP, I will get only trophies, if I win, btw almost never, but if I lose I get nothing... In PVE, even if I lose, I will receive loot referring to the monsters that I killed, and soulshards.

I like to propose the following system:

Same rewards as in PVE, loot is determined by opponent level (not PVP lvl or BR) but same as proposed DG system.

Like:

- I'm level 20 and my opponent is level 15 (New DG level system)

1) If I win:
A) I will receive "winner loot" of PVE lvl 15 for 30% of all units that I kill;
B) He will receive "loser loot" of PVE lvl 20 for 30% of all units that he kills;

2) If I lose:
A) I will receive "loser loot" of PVE lvl 15 for 30% of all units that I kill;
B) He will receive "winner loot" of PVE lvl 20 for 30% of all units that he kills;

==============================

My thoughts are in the sense that this is an MMO, but it seems more a chat with ladder system. And MMO means Massive Multiplayer Online (am I correct?)... But most of the time I play alone, because I need to acomplish Gnosis, Forging, Weaving, Sorcery, Gathering, Hunters and other things that I can't do in PVP... Again, my thoughts aren't in the sense that PVE can't exist... I like PVE, and I think it have a fair compensation for playing... But, the reason to play this game is to play against other people, and it's not happening at the moment.(you can still set some PVP bot if you want, but it is not the same as human players).

Thanks for reading

when does testing start?

Massive rewrite of Mission structure
General Idea and purpose: This is a huge remake that we have begun and it will open up a few new possibilites

Function:
1) Enable a player to drop current PvE Match to jump into a matched PvP Match
We hope this will greatly increase PvP availability as all who do want to play PvP won’t have to wait idle for games

This!
This will get me playing pvp!

Any word on how trophies will work either?

In DG you get SS based on what you kill with modifiers if you win or lose and level comparison (more if opponent is higher etc)

Trophy level is based on opponent PvP level currently. I am yet unsure if this is the best way to go with the new system.

Everything looks great David, can't wait for era 5 however, I thought assault were being nerfed?

About Assault being nerfed:

We are examining the option to target restrict the 1st tier assault speed hampering abilities to only be possible on player units and not Mobs

This will have a great impact and I am not yet sure we will go down that road

I sure hope not unless you plan to completely overhaul PvE
