A Civil Discussion on the PvP Update Differences Between Crom and Fury
What this thread will have: Constructive arguments and reasoning for or against differences in the PvP update between the two servers.
What this thread will not have: Trolling, Raging, [Edited by Drest]
I want to start off by saying that most of my toons are on Fury with just a couple on Crom for the lolz so I may have a slight Fury bias. That being said, I agree with the decision Funcom has made to only allow the daily quests on Crom for the festival week while Fury/Rage get the quests for the entire month in addition to limiting the PvP event on Crom to just CE. Funcom implemented these, "quests with the intention of encouraging open-world PvP on a daily basis." It makes sense that the full benefits were not extended to Crom seeing as the main difference between a PvE server and a PvP server is that a PvP server has open-world PvP while a PvE server does not.Pretty straight forward.
I understand why some Crom players may be disappointed that the event is just limited to CE, but Funcom has said that the other Border Kingdom zones were not performance ready for PvP yet so they limited it to just CE for the time being. However, the other zones may be enabled in the future when they are ready.
I also understand that PvPers who transferred from Fury to Crom for the sake of guilds, friends and population now get the shaft on the PvP update, but the fact is it was your choice. Funcom did not force you to leave and some players stayed behind with the "dying" server and are now allowed to fully utilize all of the benefits from this PvP update. You shouldn't blame the system for your decision/mistake.
It would NOT make sense to me if Funcom decided to grant the Crom server with the full PvP benefits. As I have said before, the main difference between a PvP and a PvE server, and this goes for any MMO, is that a PvP server has open-world PvP while a PvE server does not. If Funcom allowed open-world PvP in Khopshef, Wild Lands and White Sands on Crom, then by definition it would no longer be a PvE server. I hope I'm not missing something when I say that this is painfully obvious.
Overall, if you are on Crom and are disappointed by not receiving the full PvP benefits, it is at your own fault and not at the fault of the system. You joined a PvE server knowing that there would be no open-world PvP and should not be angry that you did not receive open-world PvP.
To those of you on Crom who are content with the update the way it is, I apologize. I don't mean to generalize you as a server, but rather point out those who are angry.
If you agree, disagree or have comments, feel free to leave them in the thread. But PLEASE keep it constructive.
