too much pvp near the bar

i just got to the bar first time and i find it difficult to leave the bar without getting shot.. cant imagine going back with full backpack.. this is kinda unplayable for me. i liked it since here very much. :(

Hehe

It gets so much worse

any way around this? i think group of four or five would be good but its unpractical and unreal to always play woth group.. maybe just take some armor packs and medpacks a do the quest and skip farming.. but at some point ill have to farm anyway.. where is the point? on EU servers it rly crazy, the shootout around BAR :/

first of all the fights are not on all instances ,(as bandit) there are always alot of allies that going to the pit / dead city , just walk with them it will be easier avoid ur death

thx red for suggestions, i dont want to paly or NA and make new character..
follow the pack is a good advice to get out of the bar.. as with friend, it would be nice, but they have to be online and they need to go to the same are and do same stuff, and that is apart from simply farming very unlikely cuz im questing..

the go with the pack adivce wont help when going back with full backpack.. when i find the pack of allies in the wilderness? :(

It's not that bad. As a bandit I tend to make it from the south side (early game). Be sure to keep to the west side and hug the wall close. I died on the way there the first time. Enemy contact is rare though. The fighting mostly happens in the middle ground south side. But away from the south walls for the most part. West side as a bandit (or east with stalkers) will be longr but safer. Enemy contact is rare but can happen, since enemy players might be farming pickles or looking for fights in enemy lines at times.

I like the area. Just takes getting used too. If you want quick PVP fights then the bar is the place for it. It's got safer areas but has risk too. Once you join factions the danger will be more about surviving in the north. Either by fighting or stealth. The bar is childs player compared to that.

Nah, it's perfectly natural to group up in PVP games, and it happened a lot more last year when the game was new. The Bar was also a death zone where bandits would camp the entrance door and deny people the ability to enter at all. It was army vs army combat with huge battles happening more frequently.

Been on so many other PVP MMOs and the chief thing that carries true is that numbers reign supreme. People will merge guilds to battle the top guilds, dominate a server with a multi-faction alliance, and overall never be caught out solo unless they felt like dying. If you're by yourself, you're food for others.

The biggest problem is that the tiers are kind of busted. You're supposed to get matched with players around your gear level with a newbie, veteran, and master tier for server instances yet you'll frequently run up against players with purple or red gear even as someone in greens. You have no chance against this matchup so you have to get used to dying. Then there's a cheaters who make up a good portion of the community and they're even worse to deal with. So either stealth, cheat, or join the zerg when you're out.
