Yeah, I understand that. However, I think it's very difficult for someone who wants to play a mage to accept that the first school of magic they receive won't help them survive 1v1 situations. Hopefully mages receive more options or a serious buff prior to release.

They should be buffed but not be able to take on a warrior 1v1? That's were I think the majority of newer players disagree. Personally, I think all classes should be able to win 1v1 situations/duels without making group PvP unbalanced. Accepting that warriors will always be the best 1v1 is...

It seems veterans of MO1 have come to terms with the way Magery works while newer players like myself have higher expectations. Personally, I feel as if it's not worth rolling a mage due to the clear disadvantages. Most notable is the inability to defend yourself in 1v1 (equal skill) type...

Henrick stated that? Interesting, can you link that? Btw, I didn't say 1v1 only so.... yeah lol Both 1v1 and group matter for a well balanced game. If he has no intention of overall balancing then well, best of luck.

I'll just roll a Warrior til the lack of diversity and balance bores me.

Thanks, didn't realize that. lol

Honestly, it wasn't worth continuing when you first stated it was easy for mages referencing not needing to craft weapons. Pure mages are what was being discussed not hybrids or mage/tamer builds. Clearly, your real issue was the possible effect buffing mages would have on groups and that's...

Devs should balance the classes for both 1v1 and group PvP imo. I believe you should be able to "choose your path" and be viable in both situations as well as PvE. I agree with wanting a projectile based system but ok with either if it's balanced. Given the focus of PvP in this game properly...

I couldn't disagree more. It's not easy to get a mage to a viable point for new or solo players specifically due to the imbalances in both PvE and PvP. You view viability as being able to buy armor or play support in a group. I view viable as being able to defend myself 1v1 in a PvP focused game...

You're serious? Have you been following the forums? The vast majority disagree with your assertion of a mage being easy for both PvE and PvP. Thinking that not needing to craft weapons makes them easy is beyond ridiculous when weighting each classes pros and cons. The argument that the classes...

I had to reread the description of the game again, just to be sure. Yeah, it did not put an emphasis on guilds in anyway. It does says "choose your path" etc. Perhaps, someone didn't get the memo? Games clearly indicate guilds being the focus if that's the type of game play they're going for...

In a PvP focused game such as this I think it's incredibly important to balance the classes in such a way to allow them to survive a 1v1 situation vs others. Currently, if you wish to stand a chance in this situation then you'll have to roll a Warrior. Your point regarding armor is fair...

??? So... You're ok with an imbalanced game where only warriors can 1v1? Balancing the classes does not mean mages become op obviously so... no need to worry about everyone jumping on one specific class like it currently is. I do see your point about not truly being able to block magic and I...

I assume they do extensive internal testing regarding balancing due to it's importance in a skill based PvP game but from my limited time spent in the stress test I'd say some combination of damage increases and decrease of casting time. Also, some combination of decreased mana consumption and...

According to the information I've received. You're only chance is running away. They need to balance the classes. If you'd like to play a warrior, mage or archer type then you should be able to win in 1v1 situations. Currently, this isn't the case. You're either a warrior or dead.
