Guys PvP wont be all that great

Only people level 180 and above will be able to use their items with potential when it comes to PvP, I am level 130 and Half of my items are potential'd, maybe even 2/3's.
This may change the economy for non potential'd items, who knows? 10 attacks may rise even higher, for instance, my gloves are 6 attack, 3% all stats, and all of my armors are potential'd, this may be very tough...

this is bs, the 120~180 gap is massive and i don't want to be compensating my potential equips for noobs.

[quote=Asiaox123]No, it's very possible. Ice Knight mode. 12? people, one's chosen as the Ice Knight. People want free wins/trade wins right? Simple, whoever the Ice Knight is doesn't attack at all. He/she lets the others kill him for fast BP. Next round, someone else is the Ice Knight and doesn't attack. That's how KMS farms BP. Very very likely the same idea will be brought to power-hungry level 130 accessory hungry GMS.[/quote]

sounds good to me.....if i get an ice knight that doesn't attack me then great....but if I'm ever the ice knight I'm definitely going to kill everyone

maybe they make the potential void, but you can still wear the item

[quote=DreamWeaver41]Because of this pvp won't be that great?

you have a dead brain or you have 200 billion plus mesos and want to kill people with ur funding.

i'm glad potential won't affect pvp gameplay. it will keep it more fun and balanced[/quote]

This, definitely. Potential made Maple worse. They shouldn't even have potential in level 180+

my equips were good to begin with. The potential was just a super plus.

[quote=BuyUrselfaDrink]Will Trade wins be a possibility?
Even better, will free win mules be a possibility?

My plan: Trade Wins or whatever to farm gallant emblems, make my level 120 shoulder, never touch PVP again.[/quote]

Trade wins and Free wins will be impossible since it is completely random. They did this on purpose or it would just become another CPQ. In the off chance you get in a room, and bribe everyone to lose, free wins are over.

[quote=rainmaker022]wont we all kill each other in one hit?[/quote]

The damage was fixed I think, meaning funding didn't matter. But I don't know how potential items are worked with.

I have a decent top with crappy potential, does this mean I can't use it?

PvP won't be good cause NX wh0res will not be able to totally destroy unfunded characters?
That makes sense.

Your thread setup was very...confusing.
Regardless, I don't think PvP will change anything at all. Most people don't use potential stats in place of items they had before potentials were released; rather they just added potential to what they already had. Generally, people with potential items will be farther ahead than those who don't, simply because they were already stronger even before potentials were released.
