Please post rules about what we can and can't do in the PvP arena (and other events).

Suddenly calling out that anyone still invisible is disqualified without warning is not very ethical. I can understand there being a time limit as to how long this ability can be used, but you need to give a warning before enforcing any penalties.

While, I believe staying invisible until the last 2 large teams fight eachother and eventually their own members is the wisest path, I agree that there should be limits. I stand no chance against an entire team by myself, therefor I used what my class/job had to offer in order to level the playing field.

When [GM]rider called out not to be invis anymore, I immediately began fighting again, but he instantly killed me. Please revise your information regarding these events on this forum.

I understand that many of the players and some [GM]'s do not speak English very well. If I you are unclear about anything I wrote or you would like some help with a project, please let me know and I will be happy to help.



P.S.

How are wins and points awarded? Of the dozen people that I killed, I only received 1 win worth 4 points. Other players were also attacking my target. Do I have to land the last hit on the target to get the win?

The GMs are all from the US... I'm sure they speak English fine.

Just because they are from the US dont mean they can speak english just fine. Theres many people living in US that cant speak nor understand English. Theres also people that live in US that speak and understand little english which means they can understand and speak some english but not all of it. But anyway Good Day!

Since you started this thread I would like to add something about the so called "pVp" events , you know PLAYER VS PLAYER as far as I know that means ONE vs ONE , yet in the one event I did attend they stated it was OK for people to make teams and go around killing. That to me is NOT player vs player , that is everyone that levels and hunts together get together and kill everyone else until the end then fight each other, not fun for those of us medium low level to have to fight a team of 40+ that have their group fighting method down.

If you want teams then have teams only if you want one on one then have one on one. NOT say pVp and then let certian teams just kill everyone.

That is my 2 cents

Considering it's a requirement for the job, seeing as most SoS players speak English as their main language.. I'm sure they speak English fine. Don't try to insult my intelligence by stating the terribly obvious, yet completely unrelated info that you just posted.

The teams still have to kill each other in the end. Sure they have an advantage and higher chances of reaching the end b/c they are in a party. The way to counter them is to get all the lower levels to target them first. Then you can have your onevone at the end.

There's only going to be one winner. It just depend on how long the alliances last.

I remember a time when players ignored me and they said quantity > quality. They were wrong and died by mobs in PvP. If you guys didn't learn, I don't even want to talk to losers like you! I don't want to talk about this post because its none of my business and you guys should hear about other people's opinions because... thats how humans work? :(

It depends on the event. There is regular Solstice Survivor in which everyone fights everyone. Making teams is for strategy only, you will eventually have to split up and fight each other in the end. There is Solstice Survivor Teams which is like regular Solstice Survivor but the last team does not have to turn on each other and the whole team wins. There is also Solstice Survivor Duels which is one on one(I think...I've never actually played in the SS Duels).

what can the winner get from the PVP battle?

[darcane]

I hear they get some sort of Lucky Ball. But you'll have to ask someone else what those are and whether or not something is inside them. Supposedly they're extremely rare. I've only seen them given out as Event prizes so far.

[Rodaa]

it was a red lucky ball for the prize

the GM's said at the GM Podium that Lucky Balls were not currently implemented as drops

[Zeltar]

if you are invisible the whole time then you will not get many kills.

i'm there to have fun, see how many people i can take down. i didn't expect to be the final winner as there are people without jobs that vcan level twice as fast, so it's all about the fun. and it's more fun when you're running around killing everything, instead of waiting till the end, till there are just a few people left that totally outclass you, and then attempt to fight them.
