its true?

[Zinrae]

Normally I would play along with Haubix, but I won't since this is the sticky.

No, it's not true (hint: think about April 1st )

[Haze GB]

Zinrae..? Didn't you play Sword of the New World? Laurus Clan?

[Zinrae]

I played the Singapore GE and NA betas, but by a different name. I haven't played since release though.

Is the world PvP seperated from PvE ? In other words : if you don't want to attack other players or be attacked by players , is this even possible ?
Like I said in another thread : I installed autodecline duels on my WoW because you get duel invites all the time ( even when not interested at all in duels at that time ) .

PvP ( or PvE ) should pretty much be optional . Not forced on you...

[Diablo]

Nope in the Abyss its a PVP free for all.

If you don't go into the Abyss its not forced on you.

[Harrison]

Another question about PvP:

NPC race will actively participate in PvP or will be more neutral? Devs mentioned something about NPC balancing PvP, does this mean if (lets say) Elyos totally dominate Abyss, NPC will KOS Elyos and prottect Asmodians?

[Fayeth]

@ Harrison

No. If one side gets to powerful the NPC race will show up and basically create utter choas, in an attemp to de-throne everyone. They aren't ever going to be friendly to one side.. rather they will come and attack everything, restoring it all back to the choas that game starts out at ..so that the abyss becomes a ffa for anyone to claim.

We actually don't know what the Balaur will do, Fayeth, as stated in an article already, the GMs will control the Balaur when one race/faction gains too much power within the Abyss. The Balaur will then have access to much more destructive tools, and from there it's up to the GMs. Yes, the Balaur will never be completely friendly towards either side, but if one is dominating they will focus on that race to get the Abyss back to balanced and leave the weaker side alone

Well you can always run lol

You might be forced into PvP in a way cause One aspect of the game is portals that appear randomly in the world area you live in that lead to the opposite factions side of the world, and not sure if that the enemy that comes onto your side will be able to kill you unless you flag yourself first, and again I don't know if flagging is even in the game So there might be no safe zones exept from preventing lower lvls from being owned by higher lvled enemy chars, but again still not to sure Also the Abyss I don't think you have a choice in the pvp part, cause thats where the major conflict will be in, there might be a zone for like PVE in the abyss only like dungeons but I also heard that the opposing faction can enter the same dungeon from the other side and you might meet up with them... So you prob will be forced in many parts of the game feel free to correct anything I've said wrong or add on to it anyone

No it was actually said that the Balaur will appear randomly when there is PvP in the Abyss and will attack either one or both sides.

[Sabre]

Ok you're talking about something totally different here Demon..read my post carefully. I said GMs will control the Balaurs and help restore balance in the Abyss WHEN ONE SIDE CONTROLS TOO MUCH. It's been known since we were 2yrs old that the Balaur will randomly attack inside the Abyss, and both sides of course, I wasn't talking about that at all.

[Calindor]

Yeah they are essentially there to help balance things out, if the elyos are owning too many castles, winning too many pvp's/rb's, the balaur will attack them and ignore the asmo...if its pretty even, they will just attack anyone randomly to keep things interesting. They will help balance things out, but if one race is clearly stronger than the other or has a lot more people, theres nothing the balaur can do, they will end up helping the weaker side and it will never change.

[SoraNashimi]

I have another question! Uhhhh damit I forgot it... Oh yeah when does the 2nd phase of CBT start? Its almost haf way into March and I don't see any news about it yet...

[Sabre]

Should be very soon, they said they'd start it "Early/Mid March" so it should be anytime this week/weekend~ Even if they don't get it off until the end of March, I read in an article yesterday that the time of the CB will not affect the release of the game, so that's always good news
