I wanted to try the battlegrounds but sadly no one seems to be playing... Am I just at the bad time or there's really no one playing the battlegrounds here on iro?

battlegrounds are dead the most of the time

battlegrounds are dead the most of the time

I think thats because most people can just buy off the Badges/points required to get BG equipments, so no one find its worth playing BG anymore

 

 

EDIT: That was for renewal, I have no idea about Battegrounds in Classic

it would be more active if they let us pick teams instead of making it random

[killedbytofu]

from the threads ive read, it sounds like classic is far mor eactive. but on chaos yea, the games never start. it sucks ass since its one of the very very few things you can even do for endgame. i just dont understand why people are so against it

[Jaffer]

Classic BG is typically active during the US weeknight and decently active on the weekends.

that's too bad... i was hoping that i could have a woe-like experience while my character is still in 2nd class, because most guilds require a character to be in 3rd class to participate in woe...

you can always try to recruit people, just for fun, make a topic recruiting, put the time, classes and lvls alowed and wait for people, im sure that is more than 10 poeple who want to do this, and with the incomming new WoE they will love the aportunity to test their 2nd jobs or try to contact with these http://forums.warppo...ent-host-guild/ they are usualy looking for new events

[kiseki3]

thank you for the info...

[kiseki3]

oh, i have another question. Is the flavius gone?  because when i entered the battlegrounds, i noticed that there's no npc for flavius.

[Kadelia]

renewal battlegrounds will probably stay dead until the next major gui update

[Gn1ydnu]

BG will be dead until they put KVM in.

Why? Because the reward is too small for the amount of time invested.

 

In Renewal, without Battlegrounds, I can get a Glorious Weapon (that's right, 2000 KVM badges) by spending no more than 170 million zeny and investing roughly 3 hours of my time. Only God knows how many weeks/months of farming BG I would have to spend in order to accomplish the same thing... So why should I bother trying to get badges inside BG?

 

If they want players to use it more, they need to significantly boost the rewards, and reduce the cooldown. I think they need to give at least (as an absolute bare minimum) 20 badges to the winning team, per round, and 10 to the losing team. Otherwise, forget it. I won't step foot in there, since it's not an efficient method. Actually, it should be more like 40/20 rather than just 20/10.

oh yea i totally forgot about how horrible the rewards are. i was thinking more along the lines of people just doing it for fun cuz its something to do though, since there is no other endgame in this game other than ET and WOE which both have timers.

 

but yea the rewards are quite HORRIBLE. its sad that gravity has to turn everything into a slow painful grind instead of just letting us have FUN.

 

also, how can you get 2000 badges with 170m and 3 hours of time? >.>

[HealingPalms]

I'd guess he mean resetting seals and getting kvm badges that way
