Had my first taste of PvP in the Abyss today. A lot of ganking going on but it was a lot of fun. Especially when I got involved with a massive fight over an artifact. Managed to take out 3 Elyos then before foolishly getting a little too close for my own good^^

Yeah, I've learned not to solo in the Abyss, or at least to quest where there's lots of other Asmos nearby. On the bright side, it's a lot less annoying to recover from death by PvP than death by AI whee

I really wonder how I managed to not notice this thread for so long.

OT: I actually solo quite a bit, provided that the island I'm on isn't controlled by the opposite faction at the time. I've spent some time setting up combat and enemy logs, which is a great help. The downside to that is that I grow a bit lax and stop rotating my minimap field of view, which is a bad thing since not all classes have to precast buffs before they move in for the kill and I can't depend entirely on the combat logs.

Not a fan of fort sieges because of the lag, but it's fun to grab some guildies and go roaming looking for people to pick off.

Yeah, I've heard some folks have trouble with crashes during fort sieges actually.

I set my combat logs to mark all enemy player attacks nearby in eye-melting scarlet, haha. The fields are fairly large, and while it doesn't always work, it's fairly reliable. (And yeah, I don't solo in the Abyss mainly because I'm fairly low level and this is my first PvPvE MMO so I'm still learning the ropes and such. I'm kind of a chicken about PvP still...)

So far, though, I'm enjoying the community as a whole. Most folks are pretty laid-back, even in PvP - we've been organizing bot raids when we rift over into Elysea, posting warnings on the official forums and a heads-up to players in the area, and the Elyos have done the same for us. X3

It's not perfect, of course. Aion does have its share of jerks and scrubs (last night there was a group of three lvl 35 Elyos hanging around the Fortress of Spirits entrance in Morheim and griefing any lowbies who got close until a few higher-level Asmos killed them enough times that they decided to get their jollies somewhere else. =_= I'm fine with PvP given there's no real penalty for losing to a player, but ganking solo questers 10 levels below your group takes no skill and doesn't even give you much AP anyway), but you'll get that anywhere you go, I imagine.

I'm not sure on the details, but players with either 64-bit operating systems or RAM above 2 GB (read: high end systems) seem to be the ones getting the most crashes.

The combat log field is two radar ranges long.

I was on a PvP server on WoW for some time, but I'm still by and far a "run first think later" type player. Caution or cowardice? You decide.

Heh, your server sounds a lot nicer than mine. Our server has lots of trolling and asshattery.

I wasn't aware of that! Good to know. 3nodding

Eh, sometimes you just aren't in the mood for PvP. I don't mind it, and some nights I go looking for it, but I have to be in the right mindset. If I've had a bad day, for example, I really just don't want to deal with it so I either run out of areas where there's been sightings or I go to Brusthonin and kill zombie pigs for a while. XD

Aw, that sucks. sad Vaizel's actually pretty cool. We have our share of trolls, but it's like 3 or 4 who always chatter in LFG and that's about it. The main annoyance now is the botting. ...well, and I think the Elyos get frustrated with us sometimes because they seem to have a lot more PvP-oriented guilds on their side than we do. I think the Vaizel Asmodians may be an older crowd? Or at least have more casual small guilds, because Abyss action on our end really only happens on the weekends. ^^

Oh I still solo regardless as I know what I was getting myself into. But it is nice to group up with a few people and gank a few Elyos in revenge now and then^^
