Reasons not to pvp - why pvp server will fail

[Bors]

Skill shots are missing. Fireball is wasted most of the time. The shield is being misused; they're blocking all DPS attacks with the shield, winning pvp safely with spear/shield.+ Melee can't track light armor users anymore so there is also that.

This is obviously a pve game now, not pvp.

we need new content, not same old pvp. you can put pvp inside new content but important point is "new content" and "bug fixes/improvement".

The new pvp servers will be loot upon death, repairing gear like old system etc ... it will just split the playerbase again and reduce the pop size of normal servers.

They honestly dont know what players want so they are attempting this to see if it will drive players back to the game, but there is a reason PVP full loot games are not popular ...

The pvp servers wont last long

Yeah, imagine everybody is sword shield (ss + spear or even warhammer works), (dps characters - abusing tank ability shield block... broken.) just blocking eachother out.

Where is pvp? This game needs balance first.

There is this roadmap on the news and you can find an estimated time window there. It's also a limited seasonal thing.

Thats not going to happen. You're literally trying to brainstorm 'worst case' scenarios to justify your hate for PvP?

No, the PvP server will not fail. It will fulfill its intended purpose, which is to lure dumb players back to actively playing the game thinking that AGS is doing something new and different and that will work when AGS is just copying failed models from other games.
