Should Standard Battlegrounds be implemented

[Shinibu]

Simple question, should the real BG with woe reductions, 1k HP crystals that take 1 damage per hit, and respawns be implemented on this server?

[Eldakar]

Yes and with the randomized team.

[azurerogue]

First of all, it's crystals on one map and food storage on the other.??The difference being that crystals are immune to skills (like an emperium that takes 1000 hits to kill) and the food storage is not immune to skills (still one damage from everything, but you can hit it with skills as well).??

And you ask this question as if there's evidence to suggest that we should not have normal BG to begin with. I don't understand, and have never been told, why normal BG was not an option for heRO in the first place. It already has 5v5 matches as a default option.

You know how to solve our PVP problem? Attract players who like to pvp. And you know how to do that? Not buy implementing headgears (lets face it, we have enough), not buy making custom monsters and dungeons (We're lacking when it comes to dungeons anyways). But by doing things that cater to them, buy implementing BG, offering guild packages, advertising as a woe server. Every new players I meet who is interest in WoE on this server leaves after a day when they find out who bad it is. 9 times out of ten I find a player who wants to woe and they're gone the next day.

The problem with normal BG is that I can imagine the big woe guilds abusing it but I mean, BG isn't only for items. But guilds who are interested in parties and having fun would love the friendly competition that BG offers. Sure its abusable but how do you expect people to benefit from the items that BG offers when you can only do it every 3 hours. And by the time you get to make it to BG, you get RANDOMLY chosen so you still might not even make it in, then you get to wait another three hours to get a chance to play.
It helps people get the woe mats that they would normally have to spend hours per week farming and plus its not that bad to do in your spare time, since woe reducts are added, its a good place to get a feel for woe. Why not have this for our server? All people do is complain about how bad it is to prepare for woe and the BG weps are probably the best PVP weps that you can get for a char other than god items and MVP cards. So nows your chance to catch up to those lucky vet's who make woe "horrible for everyone."

The problem I have with this BG is that its pretty much going to be a cloak fest since sins have such a large map to hide on and they'll be waiting it out in the corner until theres one person left or the decide to give up. I can imagine some people taking advantage of that just to mess with people and hinder them from completing it.
SO PLEASE, PLEASE implement the normal BG and see how it works out, thats all we're asking for. Just give it a try and see how it works. Sure the eathena version of BG may be bugged but lots of servers have gotten it a year and a half ago and its running just fine for them. And the best part is, they did it without making its players wait and volunteer for testing. If the GMs want to implement something that they consider BG at least get player feedback before implementing it and if you take out the essential components of BG, don't even bother calling it BG in the first place.


TL;DR

AT LEAST ASK THE PLAYERS WHAT THEY WANT. BG IS GOOD FOR SERVERSSS

Due to time restriction, i can't really do WoE, i do however want to experience it since i have zero experience on it. Having battle grounds should compensate that, although i'd probably be used as a door mat by veterans, but no matter since it's always you kill or killed.
I'm just a social player, but i'd really want to try PvP oriented events or instances. I don't respond to PvP shout outs on main since i never have enough time to prepare for them due to randomness.
I do hope it gets implemented.

Veterans in my opinion deserve to have one of the standardized versions of BG, after all it was approved way back in 2007.

[The Legendary Joe]

I have never tried the official BG. As such, I can safely say: I don't know.

[Frankasm]

Greatly over powered gears. No thanks.

[Shikari]

BG gears arent OP, they mostly only increase/decrease dmg on demi human, thus theyre only for pvp and woe, and the couple of demi-human monsters, AND they're accessible to everyone so its not like people could really complain about not having them, AND they would help smaller guilds start woeing since they'll have decent gears.

[Elements]

didnt some gm say that the usual bg cant be implemented, due to our current SVN? It has also been stated somewhere, that once its possible, the other maps get implemented, and randomized.

the current Schedule kind of BG is totally fine, if you ask me.
