So when is this happening?

The PvP community has been waiting for like over a month now on any updates on a PvP merge which takes maybe less than 2-3 hours to code apparently (probably less than an hour). Practically the entire PvP community wants to consolidate and brought up multiple valid reasons which we can agree on. All we've gotten was a "devs are in talks about it" at least I personally wanted a thread made either by Army or a dev to see what their timeline for it is and what their thoughts are currently with what they want to do/have planned. But we've basically been given a cold shoulder in other words from my perspective a bunch of empty promises since nothing official has been said in regards to a PvP merge thread. I literally have multiple friends that are simply waiting for a pvp merge to happen to start playing again because either NFI or SFI pvp servers are stagnant ATM. The PvP community all essentially came together on this move and almost all fully agree it should happen. But nothing has officially happened from the developer side in order for it to get ball rolling so to speak. Nobody wants to regrind an account on either server when they already have one on the other. The consolidation of pvp servers helps the devs out in the long run since its streamlined to 1 server and a 1 set of code.... idk why they haven't done it sooner. And they'll also save a couple whatever amount of money to just shut down the dead for a while epic servers because the epic rule set is just so broken(not exploitable just poorly thought out) that it's unplayable. But yeah it's been over a month, and we've just been given the work around. I personally doubt it's actually going to happen at this point. I along with everyone else in the pvp community was very excited for it because we can play with/against a bunch of old friends. And I'm pretty sure a bunch of newer players as well that have come along over the years.

Buuuuuump

even then, you really have to know what the spells do and use them correctly, and micro manage it. BL only really shined pre priest changes because of no resistances also half the timers for the actual good spells are too long

Chaos has Libila's Dominion, and if you don't like HoTS, then you gave yourself right there every reason not to play it. Don't force yourself to stay in a garbage kingdom with garbage priests complaining about all the WL perks. Libila is literally the worst priest in the game, it's only good because of infinite favor for botd and that is literally it. PvP side of it is meh, WL priests are 10x better overall. Literally the only good thing about Lib is the bonus perks for soul strength/lockpicking and innate 6th sense. But guess what, affinity pizza's and a spell called sixth sense.

How much will the sleep powders be?

This. Only way it's against the rules if he uses it to spy/grief enemy deeds with it. But overall yeah +1 to this suggestion.

Just put boks in the silver shop. Cool now everyone has access to it. Or disable them on pvp but in reality they were actually made for pvp

Personally, I wouldn't have the breeding the way it is currently. It's a bit too much reward vs risk. Because it allows fights to last longer in the aspect of regearing and riding out immediately because of rideable terrain whoever died can be back in the fight within 5 minutes. And if you have the gear. You can do it over and over and over and over and over and over again with like zero consequences. I would have the freedom side timers but literally cut in half AT MOST. Breeding horses every 3-4 hours is just straight up dumb. Each faction literally has an infinite amount of horses which is cool, but we all can figure out that horses make or break the fights. Like if 1 side loses the fight initially, and another side regears within 5 minutes and rides back out to whomever is left dehorsed ends up actually losing. They're just far too accessible creating zero risk and more reward for making hundreds of sets of gear. And in my truly honest opinion that's not how the game/meta should be because it's honestly not too fun, it'll only be fun for those who don't care about dying to achieve a win. You dont want pvp to be meaniningless. Wamblulances are still a dumb meta and just cancer to play with and against on both servers(along with basically an entire server being a priest essentially). It's a lot worse on chaos as it is on defiance. Draft traits shouldn't either exist or work with enemies in local on a pvp server. As for the items, idc about rare bones or the moon metal, Or even the drake and scale. They can transfer items or wipe them like i said personally idc. There's already so much on sfi, like it doesn't really matter. Worried about rare bones? Cool a cheaper alternative now is a ring of inspiration from rifts and time or runes that increase rarity with time just by attending a rift. Literally Duce (rip my guy) had over a few HUNDRED kgs of drake and scale, others have the same from the BUTCHERED hides/scales pre unique changes. Even today some people have sets in the tens. And hides/scales of at least another 10 sets worth. Like as for that side of the market... it doesn't matter. Yeah it'll make NFI drake/scale worth less but it's gunna happen eventually. Like if we don't transfer items cool, if we transfer items cool. I wouldn't transfer horses off of defiance. I would wipe the servers with whatever items you have in your inventories is what you keep at most. Then open it up to freedom to sail or whatever the devs want to do.

If I were the dev team. I'd just bite the bullet and do a full merge. It has happened a couple times before.. with these merges or deletions of servers and starting anew. The game needs it. Separating and having to deal with potentially two different sets of code is more of a hassle than anything. Yeah, the market "may" crash for people. But those people already have 10+ gold in their bank. I know some people who have 100+ gold in their bank from just the first few months of the servers. Realistically speaking... I don't think anything will crash. If you say don't make portals over. But instead turn defiance into a sail into map with item transfers. Freedom servers would benefit from it more than they think. Especially if you wipe defiance and make a fresh map and allow pmks. I'd also like to add. That if you allow sailing. That is the only way to transport items. I'd keep portals with no item transfers(how it is currently) for ease of access if both were available.

Portals are not bad especially if you remove epic portals and keep the pvp portals. The defiance portals aren't as bad as people think. If anything it makes pvpve very easy and 10x better than the current situation on chaos. I forgot to add that if the items sets are separate its much better imo

So why shouldn't we merge the pvp servers into just one server vs keeping it the way it is currently? Give me legit pro's and con's.

Maximize your damage with offensive rings/necklace to match whatever damage type you're using.

Second time this has happened to me. I verified each time. I click on where I want to res to and it takes me to a completely different location every single time. I double click it and double check it and it still takes me to a complete other place. Please fix.

its the same with other cure's (light/medium)

Because posting the /who for the month literally proves no point. If you want to look at the decline in players simply look at the premium players per month, which has been at a consistent decline for the most part.

Idk what you even said but the bottom numbers. If we want to start on accounts. I pay for like 7 sometimes 8-10 accounts. That's just me. Now we can really start talking about others and their accounts. This isn't even including sermon alts... I pay enough premium to match smaller servers population with my eyes closed.

Merge NFI and SFI through chaos. Delete defiance. Only way to get to NFI is northern chaos border and to SFI is the southern border. GG and free content for pvpers

Yeah where's a pvp merge update from the devs? It's been like 3-4 weeks now

The only thing I'd like to see with this would be a whole weapon/armor revamp/rebalancing. Especially lowering the Strength of sickle by 1 to match any other weapons with 3 second swing timers.

If it takes years to get a proper update out. I wonder how long the ironing out would take 😂😂

Yeah they can be running all they want. But you have all epic servers that average about 2-3 players all day. How can you have a pvp server and not pvp? The question is geared more towards what the hell the plans are with a merge if it is to happen. Because say next week we merge. Why should I waste time putting effort onto my deed and remain a priest if I can better focus on my own skills. Even if the servers remain up. Like if you're going to consolidate. You essentially have to force everyone into one server or it's pointless in the first place. Absolutely zero reason to keep a pvp server for 2 people let alone split hundreds of players between multiple servers. 1 server, 1 rule set is all the pvp community wants. All the other servers are just a financial liability down the road if you want me to put into that type of perspective for you. It has been for a while especially with epic remaining up for like 3 years that it hasn't even been used unless everyone seriously got bored and messed around for literally 1 weekend. Either shut down the extra pvp servers because their life expectancy is past due or turn them into freedom servers. I also don't understand why it's so hard for the devs to make a post in regards to a merge. Something that YOUR community wants. YOUR community has been asking for over 3 weeks now and we haven't received a solid response.

thats why they should just remove priest bonuses. priests are too strong already, why make them stronger

priests buffs outweight the non-priest ones. the blocking got nerfed but is still relatively strong

but if I build a 90ql fo altar and you build a 90ql fo altar it just =/=..... I would just remove diety buffs personally because priests are already too strong... so why make them stronger?
