GVG and PVP Discussion

[GM-Ciar]

Created this thread as a reply to the Split Sunday Woes thread, since there's other points regarding WoE I want to bring up.

Point #1 is the one Menace brought up on the thread mentioned above: Pandora agreed that Sunday WoE can be moved to another day. The question is, which WoE (Trans, Retro, Both), and when?

A quick discussion on the T&D Discord Channel (Which everyone who wants to help heRO should join!) brang up some suggestions on the new time slot(s), as posted below. These were suggested with North America, Southeast Asia and Europe in mind, as it's where the majority of heRO's players are from.

So far, the possible time zones in mind are:

Server Time (UTC-4) ---------- Southeast Asia (UTC+8) ----------- Europe Time (UTC+8)
Friday 11:30 PM --------------- Saturday 11:30 AM ----------------- Saturday 5:30 AM
Saturday 11:00 AM ------------ Saturday 11:00 PM ----------------- Saturday 5:00 PM

Please propose any other time slot if you have other suggestions, but do provide a reasoning for it.



Obviously, the above times favor SEA and Europe more since there's already 1-2 other WoE catering to NA. Opinions, discussions and suggestions are welcome regarding this.



Point #2 is the following: If one Sunday WoE happens to be moved to another day, that would mean that on 3 out of 7 days a week there will be WoE, meaning that's another 2 hours (preparation included) to separate for this activity. WoE on heRO isn't the most active, and as such, I ask, should the Sunday Trans Castle be closed? HeRO can keep Wednesday's Trans WoE and Retro open if so. Personally, I see no point in keeping 3 open if none get decent enough attention.

This however, would have an effect on the flow of loot and god item pieces from Castles if the rotation times remain the same, as waiting for a full castle swap from Geffen->Payon->Prontera with the current rotation format would take 18 months. So a possible solution to this issue could be just rotating every 3 months.


Now for Point #3: What would you like to see done for GVG? Please answer in detail, and not just "Fix WoE". Should more WoE-only consumables be added to the shop, like Marine Spheres, Plant Bottles? Should the cost of BG keys be reduced? Should WoE Second Edition be added as a form of Allegiance War? Should Ciar finish up Friday Inferno already?


[Added Nov 27] If we add glistening coat and speed potion to be purchased by WoE points, how much should they cost?
