AQ3D - Guardian Only Early Access for 3 vs 3 PvP with Special Rules

I hope the reward is just a cosmetic thing only.
And I wonder will the PvP reward includes Dragon Crystal, because most MMO always put their premium currency as top rank PvP reward.

 

Legion themed cosmetics pretty much.

 

Yeah probably. I just finished getting the heretic set. The only thing that I grinded for that I haven't crafted yet is the mask. I need to do a few more dailies for that.

 

Mob grinding to get materials can be pretty time consuming and those dailies feel like the only proper way to get them, but farming souls of the warrior isn't that bad when you farm them in Dage's Survival Challenge.

 

I already finished. I did a bit of mob grinding, got around 100 flames which were the only thing I needed and then I just did dailies for the rest of the needed flames. I wish the mask's color was a bit more grey though, it could match far more outfits that way.

 

Think Dragon Crystals as rewards would be too far; people would abuse PvP in some way, perhaps. They already have two methods of obtaining crystals for free (ads or chests). I think rewarding some PvP Token you earn from winning that you could use to craft items would be better. They could also reward chests [without the free DCs] since it takes forever to get all of the chest items if you plan to get them all without spending DCs on chests.

 

Yep, if premium currency is involved in PvP then players are going find a way to abuse the system. Maybe make a daily PvP quest where you have to compete in a number of matches that rewards you with a treasure chest without free DCs as a reward.

 

Nobody wants more daily stuff, to be honest. It's the kind of stuff that'll discourage players from continuously playing PvP, if there were hard limits. Sure, having limits is needed for some things, but not in a way that'll affect gameplay choice. Maybe some sort of logarithmic curve with RNG where you get more rewards in the beginning (or at least more chance of getting rewards) but as you progress throughout the day, you have less chance. I think there could be better solutions for PvP rewards than PvP daily quests.

 

sounds cool and i cant wait untill it become available to free players.

 

I honestly love the guardian early access pvp but we need 1v1 soon they might add /duel (player name)

I saw in options u can allow duel requests thats awesome but /duel doesnt still work sadly

 

There are people who wouldn't mind getting more dailies, being productive somehow even if it's in game is something what some people would carve for but I am not of those people. RNG based reward system for PvP eh? Well, as long as it doesn't reward something that is essential for character progression, I am fine with it.

 

Since PvP isnt really AQ3D main focus for the devs and players, they will need a reward to motivate players to do PvP.
I think you can get trophy that can be used to craft cosmetic gear like a daily akriloth quest.

 

Pretty much. Incentives for PvP are required to get players to do it because AQ3D is mainly a PvE MMORPG game.

 

When the game already has a bunch of daily quests limiting your freedom to play as much as you want in certain days, that's something people don't like. The whole problem surrounding dailies is really that not everyone can play AQ3D every day, so it's not the best solution. Some people are busy during weekdays and are free during weekends, and daily quests just don't reflect that. When someone does dailies during the weekends, they're often left with less content to play through, at least that's how it appears to a lot of players. It has a lot of implications, especially if dailies were to be applied to PvP.

 

It really depends how PvP dailies are implemented and dailies don't stop people from doing PvP. It's repeatable content and I doubt that AE is going to lock PvP trophies behind them so dailies would just give a chunk of them instead.

 

Well, daily quest is made to motivate players to play everyday.
If not, players can just think "okay, I will do it later when I am not busy" and "hmm I will do it later, since I can just farm it whenever I want"...
And new content coming out and players stop doing it or not doing it at all because of newer thing.

 

For PvP to survive it must be something that doesn't require many incentives to keep you playing so dailies can create that interest but it can ultimately fall flat pretty fast.

 

more likely because aq3d isnt pvp focused game, I bet pvp will die out by itself fast after most players complete their pvp reward... Wild guess...

 

I would rather see it prosper and not become dead content. We got more dimensions and more possibilities so I can see PvP becoming better compared to AQW's PvP.

 

I wouldn't be so sure. In AQW there isn't that many rewards from PvP but people still constantly do it.
