Blade & Soul PvP Event Suggestion: Battle Royale Mode

[warm oar]

Hey everyone!
I wanted to share an idea that has been on my mind for a long time, and I would love your thoughts on it!
Remember the Battle Royale Mode that was available in the KR version of Blade and Soul? For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptQR_MhYEgg&ab_channel=keroppi I would absolutely love to see that mode brought to the Western version too!
I am not trying to push anything, but honestly, it would be amazing to see it introduced here maybe with a few tweaks to keep things balanced,like:
Standardized HP and AP for all players, so it feels more like a fair 1v1 regardless of gear.
Possibly adding it permanently to Battlegrounds, so people can jump in during special days or events to experience a fresh take on PvP.
Even if these changes are not completely possible, I still think bringing this mode over would add so much fun and variety to the PvP scene.
What do you all think? I would love to hear your opinions! And hoping we can see something like this in the West one day!
Also a huge thank you to Rownen for truly listening to suggestions passing them seriously towards NCKR, along with our amazing Bear 🐻! Cozzy and DenDen for staying so active in the community and working with the QA efforts and the team behind it. And of course, big love to JJDaragon11 our King of the Fashionistas for always making us smile with BNS fashion and everything you do behind the scenes!
I would truly love to see PVP raise again and i know its a hard path, the whole community has looked for changes and wished for more the past years and im happy to see some effort is fruits. I do know its not as fast as many like to have changes but at least we have some changes that happened.
Please consider about some suggestions and hopefully we get more information regarding PvP in general. Thank you very much for your attention!

Would like to see it again as an Event but not as a permanent addition.
We dont have that many pvp player's to fill it up and all the other Battleground / PvP variants at the same day or time.
Still wondering why we never saw it again after the few weeks it was active on Live.

Anyway im on board ! Lets bring Battle Royal back

[marble vault]

didnt we already mention this before

[warm oar]

yes not that long ago ive also talked about that too few months before we got some other event

[marble vault]

we mentioned as well other pvp events but no body cares about us anymore after neo is born

[warm oar]

but i do care

and i love to have us all fun again and more things we can push for PvP too thats been asked for months

[marble vault]

yes ofc i care too i hope they rly give us

Amazing idea This could make being good at PvP actually worth something and push people to get better

[mystic ferry]

we had this and it was so bad

[warm oar]

Could you explain further pls?

[mystic ferry]

0 skill involved,it was items focused and people were camping . Not enough players even in its prime

[warm oar]

Hmm but since new update we got plenty ppl back and i think its great to tell some ideas for that Event to prevent these issues. So whats youre suggestion in fixing this to make it more funny and fair?

[mystic ferry]

Fixing our current gamemodes first maybe instead of adding new ones and after that the better content to add would be Tower of Infinity

[warm oar]

Hmm Tower of Infinity that would be cool, its under maintenance since years and i wonder whats going on that it was removed due to bugs and other that did some sussy stuff.

We have had plenty of non PvP events and to keep things fair and enjoyable for everyone even those who dont usually engage in PvP it would be great to introduce something that brings balance and fun for all playstyles. Lately many players have been asking whether PvP is still getting updates or if its even fun anymore. Offering a fair and engaging PvP event would be a great step forward.

I personally enjoy both PvE and PvP but I haven not been able to participate in PvP for a while. Still I see players queueing for Battlegrounds not just to complete dailies but to enjoy good fights and break the monotony of endless dungeon runs. If we keep getting the same types of events over and over it becomes repetitive and dull.

Thats why I suggested bringing this particular PvP event back to give PvP players something fresh and exciting. It would show that the community wants change and is still active. It could even help bring streamers back which might draw more attention from NCKR and isnt that something we all want?

Im looking for ideas that support fair play. If everyone had the same AP and HP it would level the playing field making it more fun even for players without high end gear. And to keep things balanced the event could also include non PvP quests but coin rewards should be tied to quest letters or PvP participation so PvP players aren not pushed into pure PvE just for rewards and same way for the non ones.

at this point i will be happy for any pvp, but they dont even make 1v1 arena, so why would they bother to make BR

[mild raft]

I think that it's a really good idea and it could also be a chance for shy PvP players to try it out :).

Plus battle royals are always funny; maybe as a long event and if the feedback is positive making it permanent ☺️

with standardized hp and ap it could work out nicely, my only concern would be badge procs ect. how would we go about handling those because for some classes they essentially kinda need those to do their damage, otherwise they just tickle things but i'd be down to see it as an event and judge from there how it goes

[warm oar]

thanks for youre opinion well i would love to see that too and about the badge hmm maybe its time to get Tower of Infinity back where we could exchnage for the updated Badges aswell some asre still nice and use able for pvp. They could finally give us PvP badges we able to use even inside of events that could work out.

I'm in for any form of equalized pvp that's also team based. 3v3 was a thing but it got removed due to bugs and then again, it was more of a turn based type, so i'm hyped for a BR mode with that aspect, or even a 6v6 alternative. Most new players are steering clear from regular bg cuz of gear difference, making it almost impossible to do anything against whales that one shot regardless of their skill level. There are too many systems in play that make it harder to balance the damage (compound, unity, relics, insignia, ..etc) . Currently only the skill modifiers are dealt with along with a few pieces of gear like bracelet and mystic badge. Getting rid of the gear dependency would easily level the field.
