    I believe it's located behind the big mage shop north by the stables (in game direction)

    We all know pure warriors are not top teir PvP'ers but are they a hindrance to faction battles?

    What I'm getting at is, I would like to get my LJ'er out of the caves and into the fields but don't want my faction to think 'Oh God, here comes that crappy dexxer' and then gate me to some distant dungeon.

    I enjoy playing the pure dexxer in large group fights..... that axe still swings when the mana is gone :)

    @DrFunke get a really good runic ax, faction bless it and team up with some people. Pirul has verite swings for 100k which is cheap for the work bods take. Little to worry about for being able to three shot people. Also use wands, that's a must. Think you need to own a town to drop a vendor in for blessing. LJ (any dexer for pvp) only works well if you have a low ping connection imo. Fencers are okay but typically your shot caller isn't going to wait on a fencing stun.

    1.) If you're getting rez killed that is your own fault for continuously rezzing and returning to your body. I assumed that by now, in 2017, everyone knew that. It's a given.

    2.) Getting dry looted has been apart of this game since its inception. Acquiring loot to pvp with is literally a non-factor at this point. It is incredibly simple to obtain far more than enough wealth on this server to stock yourself with a more than adequate supply of materials to hit the field again within the time limit that it takes for your temporary statloss to wear off. Again, another non-issue.

    3.) If you honestly cannot handle being bad mouthed, I'm not entirely certain you are very savvy to the internet. It happens. Put your big boy pants on, brush it off, get over it, and ignore it. I'll listen to someone running their mouth all day and not think twice about it. Again, a non-issue.

    If those are really your reason for hating factions, you may need to re-evaluate your perception of reality and make some adjustments. I'm not saying that offensively, but you need to thicken your skin, and learn to get over such trivial things.

    The real issue with factions are not any of the aforementioned points. The issue with factions is the wide spread divide among available options for players to choose from (i.e. 4 factions), with a relatively small pvp playerbase. This should be reduced to 2, IMO. The second issue is there needs to be an overhaul of the incentive for joining factions in the first place. Fighting for town control simply to be able to buy a faction horse, place guards, or buy regs/supplies at a cheap price is outdated. And lastly, the sigil timers, as well as town turnover times, need to be reduced to accomodate for the fact that pvpers want quicker activity instead of sitting around for 3 days waiting for the next sigil timers to pop. In addition to, having to guard sigils once captured for 7 hours, is also not a feasible time table when you consider that most players simply cannot stand around for that long guarding, when there really is no incentive to begin with.

    I'm working on an overhaul that hopefully will receive a high priority (via staff) for fixture that can hopefully remedy these issues.

    All the factions groups are friends with eachother and would rather not fight eachother.

    Again, untrue. We fight routinely with other factioners when available.

    False you group with CoM whenever you can and you did so about an hour ago.

    You mean when you called in your tamer friend to fight me 2v1, while i'm on a faction character, and can only heal myself? And then as soon as 2 of them show up on their reds and it turns into a 3v2 you want to bitch because you both died? Shut the fuck up.

    We fight against CoM more than anyone else because they're one of the few groups with enough balls to actually come fight us, unlike you jackoffs who strictly fight only when you have an upper hand in numbers.

    Literally, every time we fight you guys you start calling in more people to help out even when it's even. 1v1? nah, you call in a second. 2v2? nah, you call in a 3rd. Etc. Honestly, that doesn't bother me at all. I enjoy fighting that way, especially when we wax your ass with less people, but what does piss me off is when you come on here spewing stupid bullshit like that. That's what makes me lose respect for you. I'll fight you all day outnumbered, but when you fight like that, and then start running your mouth about it, i'm going to call it for what it is: You suck, because you're a coward, and you will always be one. That's why you never get better.

    Do you know how many groups fight us when we have the upper hand in numbers? Zero.

    Do you know how many groups we fight when we are outnumbered, or when I am by myself and end up teaming up with some random scrub who doesn't know shit about pvp, and yet I still fight anyways? Every mother fuckin time.

    It has ALWAYS been this way, with every group that comes through here. Always. #factsjack

    Wow what happened to the @Mandevu one liner posts/responses? Jk'in. Please write a wall of text to Chris outlining your faction ideas before you hit your max word count and revert back to one liners.

    Hey @Mandevu dont you recall me fighting you 1v2 with a fencer interrupting every 2nd spell id cast you were fine with that setup and when I made that number even you died. Then you called in 2 members of CoM making it a 2v3 so that you could get your revenge. I mean at that point its basically you fudging facts not accepting reality the truth is you are a lamer. #ACTUALFACTS GET IT RIGHT.

    Nerd your mistaken, Roman wouldn't call us in "." If we did show up it would be by chance or we scouted the fight and jumped in for the action.

    Tell me their names, might not even be us that showed up. NM rather not engage in drama. Let it go, everyone dies, part of pvping. If you get all bent every time something happens the fun factor falls right off. Restock and re engage.
