I lol'd when ppl got all worried over the 2 BG a day limit that the other guy was preaching. No. such. thing. They have an hour based limit from something 5 PM to 12. You can play as much as you want in the mean time. I was the guy who posted the thread a while back about "at least 44 days to obtain full set", well, that's changed now and here's some REAL info:

PVP Gear is cheap and it is ridiculous OP. Don't try to tell yourself otherwise. Take a look at this:

With full enchant, you're looking at 36% pvp dmg reduction from the chest piece alone, and 30% increased dmg done from the weapon alone. Skill based game? Sure, have fun winning against someone who has that much of an advantage over you.

Instead of 44 days, it's more like 22 days now. All of the PVP gear pricing got halved, as some of you may have noticed from the vendors. Weapon costs 1700 and chest costs 1100 medals. If I remember correctly, you get 5 medals per win with guild bonus for 5v5 match and 10 for 10v10 match. You do the math. If you compare this to let's say WoW, that's a lot shorter than the arena grind. Even shorter if you play like Koreans and trade quick wins in BG's all day every day.

Complain about the BG system all you want, but the truth is, the only way to get the ridiculously OP PVP gear is through BG, and the most efficient way is 10v10 unless you win trade. Not only is there no incentive for world PVP, you are essentially wasting time while the BG winners with their insane dmg reduction walks outside and kills you in one hit.

Just stating the facts, already preordered the game and I plan on getting that top 30 bg ranking mount. Thanks for reading.

On a side note, looking for insanely skilled teammates to play with me and get dat mount :) PST!

thanks for the new info, when did the pricing of gear change?

you really think the 10v10 is more efficient?

well if you have 5 core players that win almost everytime, I suppose it makes less sense to round up 10 people.

IMO 5v5's will be a much shorter grind for me, considering I would ENJOY them alot more... and time spent enjoying yourself =/= grinding in my book. and gear isn't OP when it's easy to get... but yeah, I already made a thread somewhere on these here forums with some math, comparing the gear grind to that of aion and wow.... and I used the NEW numbers(first thing I did in CBT in vel is ignore all quest and look for those vendors :P) I was more interested in knowing wether they will change the medal amounts for winning/losing BGs in NA...

Mid 2011 I think. Don't remember exact date but it's been this way for a while now. Koreans complained about it being too expensive and they lowered the cost.

my guess is, this was adjusting for the lvl 60 patch, but /shrug :P

like i said, I just looked at OUR vendors in CBT1 for the medal cost, and then based my numbers off of that.

Top 30? Why so modest? =p

bahahaha dont tell the wow kids that koreans wanted less grind... it'll give this game the worst reputation possible

"ZOMG EVEN THE KOREANS WANTED LESS GRIND, TERA IS THE KING OF ALL K-GRINDERZZ"

10v10 is more efficient for the sole reason of how it works. If you played WoW, it works like AB, cept you get points for killing their players too. It's A LOT easier to kill players in the 10v10 BG than 5v5. 5v5 is in reality no different than the WoW arena deathmatch. Once you lose a player, it's all downhill from there. But when you fight against a decent team, the first kill will take FOREVER, not to mention that they turtle and wait til the whole team rezes. It's like WoW 5v5 arena cept the game repeats itself for at LEAST 15 mins.

Top 30 is just the requirement, I never said what ranking I'm actually aiming for :P

lol maybe, 9345 is still quite a lot of medals to get. I guess we'll see what the new pvp gear is like after next week when the 60 patch is applied to ktera. It'd be weird if we got the 60 patch on our release as well, or if we got it really soon after the game launched. I'd just hope the next set of pvp gear uses a different currency to buy so we don't get put off of buying the regular pvp gear now.
