Guys did better on stones than I did.. :/
"You cannot gain any Abyss Points for a while as you have gained too many Abyss Points in too short a period of time."
Can't even solo rift for more than about 20-30 mins before seeing this message pop up and preventing me from gaining AP. Just now had this message start to pop after ganking a 2-star officer and getting 0 AP for it as a result, ugh.
0/3 HHOM, no crowns after a month of promises. Fuck you NC. At this rate this is the last $30 of mine you'll ever see.
Curse from rifting is accumulated over time, need to stay logged in for 12hours in home turf to significally knock off first curse, and 24hour + to knock off divine punishment. Logging out only helps you get cursed quicker next time you rift.
I loved it when I first noticed this, but still the AP limitations from rifting is retarded, you get 10-15k AP and your cursed. ANTI-PVP game we are playing.
We're not even talking about the curse, this is a restriction that flat out prevents you from receiving any AP at all from PvP after getting a certain amount of AP over a period of time and is not limited to just rifting, you can get it for PvPing anywhere. I only made 9 kills on that particular rift run in a 20 minute period to initially hit the restriction but it was enough AP gain due to their ranks being high.
Yes, it goes away and lets you gain a little more AP after waiting a few minutes, but sometimes there's just so many big targets to kill that you're constantly reaching this cap and forced to take breaks since you have nothing to gain but can still lose AP for deaths.

Seriously NC?
It probably isn't working the way it should. The damage gets wonky even in duels.
I laughed. However, if it is some kind of X% damage reduction based on the area, it basically means the rifters will be better off partying if they want to snipe individuals (and in turn be easier to track). Which, as is now, the lone guy likely stood no chance.
Still say the Abyss needs better incentives to get people roaming there, and in kind, feed the PvP crowd their wants. Options aren't bad.
I figured the rifting restrictions they were adding (logout in enemy land boots you to obelisk at login, and restrictions on kisk placement) would have done a good enough job at nerfing the hell out of rifting. This change, assuming it's working as intended, seems a bit overkill.
Clerics who refuse to party with me because they want good chain drops and staves for themselves. (I'm a full Miragent chanter).
Got hacked on few days ago and no reply from NCSoft yet D:!
What's up with twinks who rage when karma comes back to bite them in the ass? I have nothing against twinks in general, hell, I even ran one myself for quite a while, but some of these guys have serious issues.
Last night, I was leveling a 25 chanter alt in the abyss in an area with level 28ish mobs, when I get ganked by a level 36 ranger twink. Seeing as I was pink to them and they were purple to me, I thought that was an exceptionally lame thing to do and decided to bring my 50 sin to return the favor. What happened from there was a solid 15 minutes of butthurt rage as he came back and constantly cursed at me in shout (via translator), calls some 50 friends to try to deal with me, and eventually bringing his own 50. In the end, despite a 20% damage buff against me, I come up with 8 kills, 3k AP, no deaths, and many laughs at their expense, all in a level 28ish area of lower abyss.
Yeah, sucks when someone can actually fight back. Yay "pvp"!
sounds like something mycology would do. He camped swords edge for days on end to jack his kill count up .. then would claim he was a kick ass pvper
Yeah I encounter lots of people with low kill counts in lowbie areas. When I check a week later their kill count is three times as high. Kind of makes me sick lol
I'm kind of a carebear, I don't pvp much. I don't mind PVP though, it can be fun to fight people, and I get the idea of the game -- it IS a war. However, 90% of the "PvP" in this game... isn't. Ganking, one/two-shotting, afk dredgions, attacking someone fighting a mob, and pretty much "rangers." I'm tempted to include rifter twinks, but the parts of that I don't like are covered in that. I respect the rifters who go after higher level people... especially when they win.
If you like ganking, instakills, one-sided dredgions, and so forth -- fine, that's your thing, I can live with it; just don't call it PvP.
Trying to farm a key for FT today on my 30 ranger, the rift is open so asmo's start coming through, kill a 37 chanter and a 32 cleric (they sucked but had high ranks cause of dash of deava's rewards) they return and come back with a 37 sorc, 37 ranger and a 32 glad, i run to the guards.
They then proceed to open stores and call me a carebear for hugging the guards, like seriously, i'm a carebear cause i'm not going to fight them 5v1 when they're all higher than me? lol anyways, they get a bit too close with there stores so when one opens there store i use sleep arrow and the guards run over and rape them for me.
Go back to farming my FT key again and they come back again with all of the above + a 40 sin, 40 cleric, 38 sm and a 39 chanter.
Like am I really that fucking special it takes 9 people to come and try to kill me when i'm level 30 and rank 6? I guess some players don't understand they are giving me 1300 AP for them to get 1 back from killing me. Rant over.
