I believe, you realize the truth that we all playing at PvP server, not roleplay-adapted. So "fear your enemy" isn't a big deal in game. Mostly, it all about "fear lost your gear".
this is actually what kills the most fun out of pvp atm , and tbh it was never different , ive seen tecs run long before u came to AoP ... its just hilarious how hard some people do care about some pixelz in a game were most of the gear is mostly free to get , irc trolls prove me right also when they are happy to loot stims from my corpse like it is something special ... so you see in the end this two thing are quite controversal ... free gear vs. care about stuff in my opinion = destroys pvp or better to say : seeing 4 or 5 guys run from other 5 guys :[ like we play who sees who first and decide to run instead of fighting is pathetic. but the law does seems to learn from this adv pvp tactics like u say because in end we do fear not the enemy but we do also fear the loose of almost free gear , so lets see how this turns out.
ive personally adopted that gamestyle by now , still im hating it but i got all reasons for that because ive seen what happened after 2 weeks of total destruction , and im not talking about the shitchat , im talking about that law didnt mind to loose stuff while in comparison today ive seen the total opposite that the enemy ,whom we gave fun by not retreating with number we can fight with , decides to run away with some equal number just for the matter of "we care about stuff" ? serious i think its more some kind of mixed attitude like carrying about stuff in combination with some high amount of
dont give enemy same pleasures he gave us by playing against us which is detructive ...
this attitude also killed the core activity in addition to some other non existent features. stuff like spa , legendaries and t3 just playing in the hand of this destructive system we have atm , same goes for no combat timer , doorglue and charges , no invetory check when dead plus fast respawn timer that has same amount of sec on every coremap ...
i think people that are left on server should serious ask themself what tehy are playing this game for , for pixelz that will get deleted at the end of the season or for fun ?
because from what i see , some people take this pixellove / fear stuff way too serious ... i also remember suff speaking in v tec mumble in beginning of the season : "if i run out of support combat armors mk3 i will quit aop"... seems like he never ran out of any things
so where this fear comming from ? you people afraid to play the actual game ? and go to the core ? how it was designed to ...
