KitPVP Nostalgia Season

So you're saying 'comp' players also don't like competition? Also, if map 3 is where everything went wrong, how come it was our most successful map by a LONG shot?

 

Your previous comment implies the following:

• Pot pvp is not competitive, only gapple pvp is (probably with 4+ sets of armor)
• Competitive players only care about not dying, therefore only fight people they easily overpower
• Having the same gear and being equally prepared to fight is not competitive

Having said that, what makes it competitive is the fact that everyone is (basically) on even terms. There is no gear gap that somehow gives you a huge advantage over another player. This isn't a 1v1 competition, so yes, it's a game of strategy and survival. You'll have to kill, run, fight, and die. But can you do the fighting, running and killing better than others who are on the same footing as you?

Aside from competitive, you know what else it makes it? Fun.

What made the pit so much fun? Not caring about death and being able to just enjoy the combat.

What made maps 1&2 so much fun? I can tell you, it wasn't farming leathers for 10+ hours per big fight that made it fun. It was the big team fights that made it fun and trying to out-survive the groups of people that were more or equally as prepared as you were.

Such as? I mean, tons of OG players from map 1 didn't play map 2. Lot of OG players also got banned for cheating.
Any OG player that wasn't banned played map 3. Also, map 3 had significantly less cheaters than map 1 or 2. LOL. It was also during Map 3 that JH started investing in anticheats and tools to help reduce cheating. But worth noting that map 3 had more players when we ended the season than map 2 did on any day during the season.

Also, the gear gap on map 1 and 2 was so bad that by the end of map 1 and for almost ALL of map 2, I spent TONS of time on the server "policing" players to give new players a chance to fight and earn better gear. Not from a staff perspective, I simply killed anyone who spent too much time farming leathers, gave leathers gear to help them get started and gave them a chance to be able to even play. This ofc caused a lot of diamonds who wanted to farm leathers try repeatedly to group up and take me down so that they could have time in warzone, but hey, they learned eventually not to :) Map 3, I didn't have to do that. Everyone had a chance.
