WHY NO PVP?

[Niconomic]

Game is a lot of fun but without pvp I just cannot get behind an MMO. (I'm not saying I want there to be open world all the time flagged pvp get wrecked noob) But to be able to duel other players, and potentially even flag up have areas where pvp is possible. I really don't care to prove if I'm better than a pre-scripted NPC. The real fun in playing games is comparing yourself against others and seeing how you fare against other humans that have that make their own decisions.

To reiterate. I believe this game is the most fun MMORPG that has come out in recent times (Lost ark/Throne and liberty/ Quinfall /Ashes of Creation) but without PVP might as well just be Monster Hunter world.....

Will return in full force once PVP/dueling is enabled. (and I saw a video of the director saying it would be very easy to do.....? So uhm.... Do it? You have so many servers atm... Make 1 a pvp server.......

TL;DR Game is a lot of fun but is handicapped by lac of player vs. player/dueling.

I think they will open a PVP server next month

[jridge12000]

As some have said, PvP server, no attention to balance or the like. It is just a server to appeal to those who want the play, but don't expect anything more than that (at least till after release and maybe never).

As for the PvE servers, I won't say "never" (LoTRO was adamant about no PvP until open beta and then caved to the crowd that turned around and dumped the game anyway).

PvP dominates game play design and this is why it is not good in a PvE game. Sure, WoW has it, but look at their class and game design over the years. They had to attend to PvP problems caused by standard PvE design and so, as it always is... PvP "forces" a certain design approach to the PvE.

Joppa has said he enjoys PvP, so he is aware of the concept, but also appears to understand the problems PvP brings to PvE design. So I would not expect to see much attention put into the PvE game concerning PvP, it is a different path and direction and takes away from what they are doing.

I have always thought that if you are going to have pvp in your game you must design it from the start with that in mind

You cant just make a pve game and then force pvp in to it

No extra PvP server! "Just" put in a duel mode and/or arena and (almost)everyone is happy.

You will get your PvP server but, I bet that, you won't like it.

By "enabling PvP" with the minimum amount of dev-time, that means:
1) PvP everywhere with no safe areas
2) PvP is always on with no flagging
3) No class balancing in regards to PvP
4) No level capping or adjustments; lowbies are fodder
5) XP and inventory loss after dying to a monster that you were fighting when ambushed by another player, feared into, charmed to attack, trained then rooted, mezzed or stunned? That sucks and I hope that you remembered your /loc and a player is not camping your corpse.

It seems likely that one mega-guild will soon dominate the entire server until everyone else joins or leaves and the server becomes, effectively, a PvE server. So much for PvP in a game not designed for PvP.

I mean just look at the animations, how the version ofvUnity they're using affects performance in stressful situations. I am extremely excited for PVP. But the game needs heavy polish for it to be functionally good. Plus Skar aren't in the game yet to take full advantage of their racial in PVP. Gnomes aren't even here to murder yet!

The devs are aware of what percentage of the players want pvp and seem to be dedicating the right level of resources.

even with the server being lawless in the pvp shard, it is amazingly fun. choose the right guild is all i can say! and quit this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mass alliance ♥♥♥♥ going on, or youre just gonna ruin the server faster by gate keeping everything from guilds not in the alliance.

I love there's a popular guild that is considered the baddies 😲 After having an awesome experience with one of their members the other night, I'm so tempted to join them. 🙏

Y'all are MISSING OUT on PvP. You will seriously never go back. ⭐⭐⭐

[GJB71]

Was it everything that you dreamed of?

Well that is all part of the intrigue with massive guilds and alliances. The drama/politics. And in my experience most massive alliances have a tendency to implode.

♥♥♥♥ PvP , lol this will get moderated lol

[befreewhereyouare]

YASS! The PvP is something I never thought I would love abt this game! The stakes are high. Can you handle it, y'all? Playing Pantheon where people jump you for banking is wild! 🤪🤪🤪

P.S. - I don't do that! ❤️
P.P.S. - What are some things you all think should be added to PvP in its current state? 👁️👁️

the pvper cult hopes a lot of persons forget about the super monopoly control freak ideology

they also hope persons forget that they are the kind of persons that will extinct a game once they chase everyone off the game

they are also the type of persons that hope others forget that reason why they keep hoping to every pve game out there is because they know there *everything needs to be pvp* ideology don't work has not ever worked and will never ever work

simply put the pvper cult are a locust mind set sad to say...
