Lets get technical Dorito..you left out Brusthonin and Theobomos. I'd love to pvp in the Marla Cave! However, the OP concern is that the 1st zones of Gelk and Igg are supposed to be nearly impossible to enter so that level 51-53s can quest around and not get rolled by an overgeared 55. Thats why theres literally a huge door at those gates to the 1st zone, but no door at the gates from zones 2-3. You're tecnically NOT supposed to be able to get into the 1st zone of the opposite faction. Good on him for finding a way.- but yea thats shitty you're aethertapping and get killed. Now lets see if we can find that way into Iggison's 1st zone. ^^

Ponci, youre a legend!

No way! Bollvig is our friend. You cant kill him. However, the fun part is to prevent the elyos from getting him. Especially glads, I love how they AOE in that area and get every mob on them!

That first map is not Altgard, its Ishalgen

You're great! We definitely need to run one of the Normal BT, it has good gear in it too! I love your post, lots of good information for new folks.

Can you guys do this fun stuff out in open world in Iggision please?

Yes Phidippus, excatly. Its all a ranking system...now who's going for 5 Star!

It will update the next day. Its actually nice because you will get the rest of the day not being a 1 Star officer - so less of a target AND you will also lose slightly less AP if you get killed . Plus it's fun to wait just the 1 day, its a special time. Also the official answer would most likely be that 'the game' has to calibrate everyone's officer rank overnight. Stuff changes - sometimes you get a new Governor ^^

#5 yes agree on the medals and there should be a way to get some pvp gear without a grind for a month. As mentioned, most players are older people with jobs and a life. I'd like to be able to get on and hunt some elyos down and stand a chance in a fight - or watch out will win in crappy starter gear ^^

Agree about the pvp gear. To grind around for months just feels pointless. This is an old version of the game, give up a good starter set for pvp. People are losing interest and as was commented before, those players in full 55e couldnt give a hoot if new/return players are in a starting pvp set, they might actually face a challenge for those of us who know how to play their class AND know the terrain.

I've recently come back and truly in the 12+ years playing this game I've never felt so demoralized, so far behind in gear, and just so disheartened with the bullshit pay to win.
