pvp in eq2 was damn good when it launched, i had the best pvp of my gaming life.. The did put in quite a bit of effort with the pvp-versions of items but it really was a pvE game no ?

Lol sorry no, it was the most twitchy pvp I have ever seen I logged into a battleground and couldnt stop laughing at how bad it was.

Asked on SA, asking here: For the guys in - is bow combat improved? Does the bow comat have a TES feel to it, or is it still that disjointed mess of 'what the hell is happening' that it was last beta?

If it's improved, I might bother to reinstall.

not a great start, created a character, got him into the prison room, went afk to walk dog, came back and game has crashed. oh well. gonna try and power through a few hours today morning just to see how much i can stomach, wish me luck.

stress chars are all erased as far as I can tell, I will miss my level 4 snake guy. screens still have a watermark, with your login name now instead of a number. game does seem a lot more polished though so far, I deliberately re-rolled away from ranger though because like you saw, the bow combat was utterly abysmal last stress test.

How exactly do you want it to be different? Having arrows be an actual projectile that then needs arc/collision detection and specialized netcode/host state rewind for hit detection doesn't seem like something they're going to add at this stage of the game.

At this point I'd like to see a return to non-forced-faction PVP. In other words, free for all pvp. Let people choose from a few NPC factions to represent or form guilds and alliances and go to war.

Essentially I'd like to see a Shadowbane-like game without the amazingly buggy client and the horrid click-to-move system. Something like normal WASD controls, projectiles that can be manually aimed and evaded, friendly fire, resource control, finite resources, and player/faction/clan housing.

And I'd like a pony.

I expect that when I click the mouse, that it loads the arrow. As I hold the button, it starts pulling it back for a more powerful attack, until it's all the way back. Then I can release when I want, and the mob takes damage.

Instead what happened was, I'd click the mouse and Game.Random(); would happen. Sometimes it would kinda maybe happen like I listed above. Sometimes I could click kind of fast, which should just end up with nothing happening since I haven't even loaded the bow, but instead it'd go ahead and fire it. Sometimes I'd get a powered up shot. Sometimes I wouldn't. Sometimes I wouldn't even know if I had shot an arrow.

It so so fucking unresponsive and the animations were so out of place, that I really could not tell most of the time what was going on.

If you logged into a battleground, then you weren't playing EQ2 pvp at launch. At launch the pvp WAS actually really fun
