Streaming This Friday!

[Valicard]

The community seems to think that this would be better served on a different server.

How's Fury work for you all then?

One of the first things I was asked when I got to the AoC forums was to stream PvP.

I make no bones about it, I suck at PvP, so it should be hilarious to kill me over and over again.

If we go to Fury, would level 50 still work as a base level?

I dont normally PvP but if you held this on Crom/80/minis I think I may actually tune in.

and its pretty of cool of you that you do pvp streams now.
But when people say that Rage is a bad idea because the server is dead it is not the usual crying about "AOC IS A DEAD GAME !!" the server is actually dead , just check it out yourself.

About Fury : lvl 6-19 minigames and lvl80 are the only ones that pop regularily . lvl39 just happens when Zloysin or some other dedicated lvl39 pvpr motivates enough people for it and 40-59 minis happen hardly too . 60-79 has been dead for a very long time.

As i see it lvl 19 shows the purest and most skill based pvp of aoc . You have no AA points and there is almost no gear gap.
Furthermore I imagine that many people (like myself would be interested in playing with you) and will level a character to lvl19 again . to level to lvl59 would probably take too much time for many players

To sum up : Lvl19 pvp is the most skill based pvp and you can expect way more participants than at lvl59

Do it either at lv19 so anyone can attend very easily, or at 80 so maxed out pvpers can chew you to bits for schadenfreude. Any other bracket will be silly. Both Crom and Fury would work for that.

Aye, I'd sign that. Or make a series out of it and do it on every server, even Rage.

So... a level 19 on Fury would work?

Yup it would, but if you wanna make a good impression on non AoC players with this stream then you should do a JS mini on Fury at level 80, to showcase a more interesting map and way more flashy geared characters. It is also 12 vs 12 so easier to display fun action without being singled out. There are also more respads so you can avoid the respad ganking somewhat easier.

People who watch the stream to figure out if it is something they wanna play will want to see highlevel PVP, as the diversity in looks, abilities and the complexity of the fight with loads of abilitities displayed will be much more appealing.

Haha, indeed!

I disagree. Lvl19 minis are as unbalanced as lvl80 minis, for different reasons.

The unbalance at 80 comes from AA and gear. The unbalance at 19 comes from level (it's not lvl19 minis, but lvl5-19 minis) and class trees. Some classes easily overpower the others, and it's the same thing for all brackets until 80.

We really need the Unchained minigames, with no AA/no stuff.

JS looks pretty, but it is a horrible map where people aimlessly run around doing random stuff. Chances are we would see Tomium's necro spellweave on one of the JS rocks for 20 minutes The best maps in game are HV and LT, so hopefully they will focus on these.

In terms of level bracket, level 19 is fast-paced, but the limited number of abilities is not representative of AoC. By contrast, at level 80 poor Tomium would be facerolled by pvp level 10 toons. I always thought the 40-59 bracket was pretty nice (decent number of abilities, relatively fast, relatively balanced). But of course the issue is whether there are enough people to join minis in this bracket. For obvious reasons, levels 19 and 80 would be easier to fill.
