I agree that they are going in the wrong direction in attempting to remove the "CareBear" feel of the game. I personally do not like pvp for the sake of pvp, I will play pvp with guildies for fun (as our guild has done in the past), but pvp is not why I joined Fiesta to begin with.

What troubles me is that the community feel of the game has been cited as peoples favorite aspect of the game so many times, Player of the month and competition winners and people in general just stating in on forum posts, and yet, that one aspect that was cited over & over is the one that is being damaged most by the recent changes. It is as if they ask questions from a "Winner's Interview Sheet" and never really read the responses.

I expect that as this direction continues there will be many who reach a point that they are fed up with it and some of the best players of the community will move on to find a new community that still has a CareBear feel to it. I know if it gets much worse I will be out there looking for a new game, just as I was looking when I happened upon this one because I play to have fun, NOT to be stressed by people who are levels above me making it so that I have to lurke through shrubs to get to a different map just to avoid accidentally running into the thugs of the game.

I think it'd be very possible for Fiesta to serve those who want a community and those who want a competitive gaming experience. But Fiesta just doesn't seem to be thinking critically about it.

Btw, what do set items mean? LOL.

Item sets are items that are specialized for one another and expected to be used with another. A loose analogy I could use is that it's like the McDonalds toys, you collect one you're kinda happy, you collect 'em all you're full happy.

The entire 'item set' will have a prefix like "swing" (from those boots we saw in the thread Loveless made), and completing more of the set will give you special bonuses. You have to collect the swing boots, the swing helmet, the swing body and swing leg armor to complete the set. Having the full "swing" set will increase your crit rate, deva stun rate, decrease deva SP consumption and maybe give you a different ability (can't confirm from the ambigous english).

Hey all, ok from what i can see i agree with alot of what's being said to do with guild wars out of control and what not and i do agree, but you always need some form of power in any game whats the point of being strong without being able to use it in a sense :| otherwise u would be either leveling yourselfs or leveling others.
With lots of you referring to WoW i think if they want to steal pvp they should steal WoW's pvp arena's i mean they were great fun the capture the flag games and what not, brought something fun yet challenging to the game and i would love to see something similar but unique at the same time brought to Fiesta.
And yes i think fiesta are copying WoW as the korean version now has instance dungeons -.-

I'm not saying PvP is bad at all, I'm saying how fiesta's implemention of it is horrible. I love showing off my power just as much as the next guy, but Fiesta really has a loose grasp of what a good PvP system entails. It's like the developers for fiesta figured "we'll just throw in the ability for them to smack each other senseless and call it pvp." There honestly is no regard for balance or incentives for PvP and guildwar alike in my opinion. WoW has a very well established PvP system, and it seems like Fiesta's trying to make something similar. Unfortunately Fiesta's not taking into consideration a lot of things:

- Items and character stats aren't powerful enough: This is best exampled by the simple fact that, the damage a player deals is hugely dependant on that players level instead of their stats.
- Skills are uninventive. Seriously. A skill either damages, stuns (fear's a stun imo), or heals. With the one exception of mana burn, which is easily countered with an SP stone (saywut).
- Guild war incentives and PvP incentives are naught. When I say naught, I mean naught. You don't get squat for PvPing or guild warring, other than your own self inflated ego.
- They're making PvP damaging to the community, when it really shouldn't. This is a huge problem right now and I don't think it needs explaining.
- There's nothing unique in Fiesta's PvP system at all. It's basically a shell waiting to be filled with ideas. But Fiesta doesn't seem to have any real ideas from what I've seen.
