Against an archmage storm warlord in full level 70 crown gear with nearly 4,000 life. Let me put this in perspective. I'm an ice, level 74 ( 72 at the time), and a private. My point is, in this PVP, people are put against eachother by level, not skill. KI has got to stop putting privates against crown only warlords. Its totally unfair.

Just a random fluke in the system. He had a higher skill level and he deserved to win. You can't complain that you were matched with someone better at PvP than you are. Anyway I doubt you lost very many points because the current system dosen't allow Warlords higher than your level to reap points from Privates.

Stop complaining. if you dont want to get paired up with higher ranks then just do practice. Besides the pvp gear that you can get with tickets is not that good. just my opinion


Ok, what does that have to do with anything?

It isnt unfair. You were given a lot of tools for PvP. Yes, you can shield. Yep, use those treasure cards. Time to use shatter. Etc. A team of magus and master wizards beat a puppet team (3 transcended, 1 puppet)

I agree with you fully.

Yea I know it happens but think of it this way if you lose you won't lose that many points because you are a private fighting a warlord, but if you win you will gain a ton of points.

Btw lvl 70 crown gear isn't that great there is better gear than that.

well frankly if you had the 80 storm resist like most ice he should have been no problem and well storm is simple to beat you just have to use tower shield

Cut him some slack he is a private so he doesn't know all the tricks to pvp. Even if he did have that resistance I think the warlord would still win. I have faced privates of all schools at some point in pvp ( note they were in practice pvp) and I am a commander. I usually win because of that. After the game I would help and give them some advice.

I am death btw so I don't kill my enemies very fast.

I agree pvp is still far from balanced, not just the match-ups but even the cards. Why would KI ban Talos from pvp and not wild bolt? Today I was pvping on my Myth level 35, and went against a storm level 50. He went first and used a wild bolt, got a critical and did 2000 damage and I died. Basically he won before I had a chance to do ANYTHING. KI needs to drastically change pvp hopefully soon.

I agree. I get around level 35's and I was only level 22 at the time, but I manage to pull off hard wins.

One way to look at it is that by playing the best you will become better faster.

If they beat you, ask yourself:

1. What did he do to beat me?
2. Are there any spells I could put in my deck or tc deck to counter the way they beat me?
3. Am I otherwise happy with my current spell set up? Or do I need to make some other changes?

Tweak your deck a little after each loss. And take conscious notes about how a warlord beats you, because if you are a private, the warlord is a much lower level than you. You can beat him with proper deck set up and strategy.

P.S. High level warlords utilize their sideboard to maximize their potential. I suggest you do the same.

i am mad i was playing on my ice wizard [hes a sergent lvl44] and i got pared up with a [lvl69 pvp knight] is that fare seriously thats not fare fix that problem now.If that happed to you leave a message with what happend to you 8)

First off, if you created the fight then you can choose the minium and maxium level wizard you can fight against. If you didn't create the fight then, why did you choose that wizard to fight then? Getting pared up with a lvl 69 wizard isn't a problem though, yes it is unfair but, you chose that wizard to fight or maybe that wizard chose to fight you.
Second, PVP will be like that. Some wizards buy their spells which would give them an advantage. So basicaly, winning PVP is just pure luck.

Well, after seeing what happened to me I actually might believe you. I received 1 point for a win against a level 80 sergeant storm and lost 27 points when I lost to a level 80 sergeant balance and I was a level 60 warlord.


That is because you are a WARLORD. They are SERGEANT. You have hundrdd of points worth of pvp experience over them so KI thinks it should be easy for you.

I do practice PvP all the time with my lvl 66 wizard, (who is stil ranked "private" ) and in practice pvp's i am always paired up with a way lower lvl, and i'm talking lvl 9's and 10's and i defeat them with one spell. I occasionally get a higher (around my lvl) wizard, but i seem to always get low lvl wizards :( I do not like this, and hope that something is done about it.

i have been getting insanely mad on my storm during pvp 1v1 i am a private being paired against warlord and commanders. i think something has to be done because i dont think its fair. warlords are warlords for a reason they know how to face ANY type of player easily. privates are still learning what to do and its making it impossible to rank up

Me and my friend were doing 2v2 on PvP. We are both level 35. I am storm and she is balance. We were both knights and trying to rank up. After about five minutes of waiting our battle began. When we got to the arena I was shocked. One of my opponents was a level five life and the other was a Level 80 STORM! They went first and the storm guy did a wild bolt(critical!) on my friend. It did over 2000 and she died. I had no healing spells and only 3 pips. After 5 more rounds of me spamming shields so i wouldn't die the level five life did an earthquake(treasure card) which i was not expecting and removed all my shields. Then the level 80 did a Leviathan and i died. The worst part was that i lost 26 POINTS! My friend an i went down a WHOLE RANK! We were so mad. Do you think this battle was unfair or fair

I know i'm not the only one who realizes this issue during pvp. Say your a lvl 5 knight and you want to 1v1. You get the icon that says "Go to Arena" Then when you get to the arena you see that the person your versing is a lvl 30 commander in full commander gear with 20 attack strength and 53-55 resist. It's just unfair for a lvl 5 to vs a lvl 30. You have no chance what so ever of winning. I Suggest we can only have up to 5-7 lvl difference. So if your a lvl 5 you could only verse up to a lvl 10-12.

I know what you mean. This happened to my level 5 ice girl. She is great at pvp and I love playing her. I keep getting paired up with level 20's-30's. This also happens with my level 58 girl. Me and my friend Joseph (ice) Like to pvp together. But every time we do we get paired up with archmages. His level is only 61. Wizard101 really needs to fix this. I'm almost to the point of quitting of wizard101 for this.

I have been playing wizard101 for about a year and a half now and am enjoying the game. You guys have great staff and work hard to produce a great game. But for a while now I have been thinking this over and am thinking of quiting Wizard101 for this matter.

I really just play wizard101 for pvp. It is always fun to enjoy a friendly challenge and competition against other players. I do a lot of 2v2 with my friends. I have done several matches with my friend Joseph (Level 61 ice) and we won about 5 and lost about 15. The reason: 80% of the time we get paired up with 2 archmages, or an archmage and a level 50 puppet.

I am an ice wizard level 58, and like I said, my friend Joseph is level 61. I find it a bit unfair that we usually get paired up with archmages. Joseph is only a captain (Well, for this matter he lost it thanks to this reason) And I am a private currently with 456 points. (I'll tell you why in a bit) Usually when we win a match against other people, we only gain about 8 points. But when we get paired up with archmages and lose, we lose about 40 points or more. Is it really fair that we always get paired up with archmages most of the time and have to suffer and lose?

This hasn't just happened 1 or 2 times. This has happened most every match I do with a friend now. It frustrates me that the archmages get to gain about 50 points for an easy match, while we lose 50 points and only gain about 10 points on a good match. A similar topic has happened to my lvl 5 ice knight. She was knight but now is down to sergeant. Most of the time when I go to pvp her, she gets paired up with a level 25 commander with 45 resist, 12 damage, and stocked up on treasure cards.

I know i'm not the only one who feels this way. I've seen a lot of other topics related to this. If you guys don't mind, please fix the level pairing in pvp. I am near to quiting wizard101 for this problem.

It doesn't just matter about to the level of the characters it also matters about the rank.
