Battlegrounds [Arena PvP]
So what is this Battlegrounds in Requiem Bloodymare?
It's a 30 minutes Player vs Player battle royal arena. This PvP Arena is cross-linked with other servers. If you're on Valdes server, you can still fight with/against other players on Lintra or Hammerine server. There is no death penalty and limited to unlimited respawns. You can fight solo (if you're strong enough) or travel with your comrades and defeat your opponents together.
There is no shame to an outnumbered match or outnumbering your opponent, as each battle fought, new challenges will arise. It's up to how you choose to face it.
What are the available PvP Battleground modes?
There is currently two types of battleground mode at the moment. They are Ion Mine Battlefield and Field of Contention.
Ion Mine Battlefield:
Is a Capture the Flag style PvP. Your team must secure the flags in each of the sector to score points to win the battle. The first team to hit 500 points or most points by the end of the timer, wins. For the points to be increased for your team, the flags must be captured and hold. The points will slowly rise for your team. Defeating enemy opponents and activating/capturing enemy's flag will increase your contribution score.
You do not require to kill other players in this battleground mode to win. Main goal is capturing the flags, so a good coordinated team to capture/hold the flags can often time win against a team even with powerhouse players.
A few good tactics is to travel in pairs and split up going after the flags. If you see a team member already ahead of you toward activating a flag, move on to the next one or stand guard. It's best to avoid opponents you cannot defeat. Wasting time trying to kill that opponent can result in a big point gap to catch up and easily put your team in a potential loss. If you have access to using a mount, you can greatly take advantage of it's speed in reaching and securing a flag. It's also a great idea to communicate with your team members and giving them heads up of your current situation or warn them about potential traps, incoming opponents, etc.
To activate a flag for your team, just move close within range and right click. You will see your character in cast mode. Once the cast is completed, the flag will be on your team's side.
Yellow Flags is your team.
Red Flags are the enemies.
Playing in Ion Mine Battle Field earn you it's repectful points. These points can be used to purchase reinforcement xeons and consumable potions from the reward npc that goes by the same title. They are easy to spot, as they should always be near the recruiter npc. The items availabled for purchase still cost lants.
Field of Contention:
Is purely Team PvP. In order to be victorious, your team must defeat the opposing team members as many times as it takes to reach 100 points in score. For each player defeated, 1 point is rewarded for the team. This means your entire team share a total of 100 lifes. This does mean this PvP mode is not for the weak. If you are easily killed, you can be the result for why the team loss. The strong can truly test their potential in this mode, as the odds will be against them, even in an even match.
Playing in Field of Contention earn you it's repectful points. These points can be used to purchase compounding xeons to upgrade your equipment from the reward npc that goes by the same title. They are easy to spot, as they should always be near the recruiter npc. The items availabled for purchase still cost lants.
How are the Battle Point rewards calculated?
Battle Point reward is base on your contribution. In each of the PvP modes, the higher your score at the end of a victorious battle, for each 1,000 contribution score, you will gain 1 Battle Point reward. So if you scored 21966 contribution points, you'll get 21 Battle Points. As for the defeated team, at the end of a defeated battle, each 5,000 contribution score, you will gain 1 Battle point reward.
At higher level PvP brackets, contribution points potential earning is greatly increased compare to lower level PvP brackets.
Are we allow to use healing potions or special items in Battleground?
Yes, and the great thing about it is, consumable items used in Battlegrounds are replenish once it's over. You get everything you used back once the PvP is over. So there is no expenses to lose. Bring those aid items and use them wrecklessly. You can use your mount and travel in any battleground arena. Mounts are very useful for Ion Mine Battlefield.
However, Item Mall potions cannot be used in Battleground.
Can any level join the Battleground PvP?
There is a minimum level to enter. Which is Lv10. There is no job restriction, so you can still enter as a Temperian as long as you're Lv10.
There is a level bracket in which each players can participate depending on their level.
Lv10 - Lv19 [Bracket 1]
LV20 - Lv29 [Bracket 2]
Lv30 - Lv39 [Bracket 3]
Lv40 - Lv49 [Bracket 4]
Lv50 - Lv59 [Bracket 5]
Lv60 - Lv69 [Bracket 6]
*There is a one time exception to the rule. If you signed up when you are Lv19 and reached Lv20+. You will still be enrolled in [Bracket 1]. So yes, it is possible to see a player greater than Lv19 in [Bracket 1] BG PvP. This applies to other brackets as well, signed up during Lv39 and reaching pass Lv40 will still enroll you into [Bracket 3]. However, the next time that player signs up, they will be moved to the appropriate bracket.
So where do I sign up?
In Turba region, you can easily find them in Kurt Village, Bivouac, South Watchtower, and Zakate city.
In Crescent region, you can easily find them in Rondel, North bivouac, and Valdes city.
You can find the recruiter npcs in multple locations in towns and outpost camps on various main maps.
I signed up for one of the Battlegrounds, but it's not starting for me?
The Battleground requires a minimum of 8 players in each side to start, total of 16 players. You'll will have to leave it up until there is enough players signed up for your level bracket to begin. While that can take sometime to start up, you can still go do your usual daily routine of questing, exp grinding, instance dungeon runs with parties, etc.
Once it's time to begin, you'll be notify with a summoning timer menu. You will then be teleported to the Battleground. At the end of the battleground, loss or win, you'll be teleported back to where the npc you signed up for battleground.
The current avaliable Player vs Player size is 24 vs 24. You can sign up individually or as a team.
For individual participation, you'll get added into the roster depending on when you sign up. Example, if you sign up right after a BG has ended, if you're the quickest, you'll be added to Team A. The second person that joins along will be added to Team B. It rotates back and forth to Team A and B until there are 8 players in each side. Once that criteria is meet, the battleground will start.
For team participation, the team leader must sign up for the party. The party also must consist of player levels similar to the leader; Leader Lv17, rest of party members must be Lv10 - Lv19, if one member is Lv20 and over, your team will not be able to enter the battleground together. It will also require a slightly longer time to join, depending if there is an active Battleground that has already started. Example, if you're in a party of 2, and a BG is already underway (you check by doing individual participation, but want to join with a friend), you and your friend will not get the invite until someone else fill the odd gap currently in the active BG.
Team A1
Player 1
Player 2
Player 3
Player 4
Player 5
Player 6
Player 7
Player 8
Team B1
Player 1
Player 2
Player 3
Player 4
Player 5
Player 6
Player 7
Player 8
Team A1 and B1 is evenly up against each other. A team of 2 player request participation invite will not be sent until Team A1 or B1 lost a member or has a member advantage over each other.
If your team consist of more than 2 players, your team will not be able to join an already active Battleground. However, unless one side of the team loses enough players for your entire team to fill in the gap, then only will your team be able to enter.
To guarantee your team participation in the battleground, it is best to form the party when a battleground had just ended. If a full party of 8 (Team A) signs up for Battleground, the only remaining spots to fill are the other side of the party (Team B). Individual players can fill those slots (Team B), it is not require for another full party of 8 (Team B) to sign up to start the battleground. However, both side must have 8 members for battleground to start.
On a special note, if a party leader Lv20+ signs up for Battleground in a party, any player lower level than the leader will follow him into his PvP level bracket; [Bracket 2]. This means a Lv10 can enter a Lv20 - Lv29 PvP. The reverse does not apply, however. A Lv19 Leader partied with a Lv69 will not bring the Lv69 into PvP [Bracket 1].
What are some of the things to be aware about once we start?
Once inside the Battleground, there is a 1 minute count down timer. This is preperation time for your character to buff up and adjust your equipment/shortcuts/skills, you can also use this time to greet your team mates. You will not be able to communicate outside of battleground map. Whisper and Guild chat is disabled for you. You will not be able to read guild chat, nor read, send and answer whispers. They are all restricted/disabled. Players outside of battleground, in the normal field maps, can still send you whispers, but you can't see what they whisper you. Guild members can still see you online. However, you will not be able to read any guild messages that they might've directly sent to you.
Regional chat is still functionable in battleground, however, only accessible to basic and premium users. Using regional chat allows everybody to see your message, including your enemies. General chat obviously does the same, however, players within field vision will only be able to see your message.
PK System
The basics are as follows You have normal Temperions, and Murderer Temperions (PKers).
A normal vs a normal
- Winner gets +1 win, and +1 PK count, tendancy will rise if target is equal to or higher than your level, otherwise tendancy will lower making you more likely to slip into murderer status
- Loser, +1 Defeat and nothing happens.
Normal vs Murderer
- Normal kills Murderer, Normal gets plus Tendency +1 PVP win; The losing murderer also gets plus tendency.
- Murderer kills Normal.? +1 PVP win Tendency changes based on the levels.? Higher level killing lower level becomes more negative tendency.?
