"You Need To Reward Open World PvP"

An oxymoron.

It's not open world PvP if it's organized and objective-based.

The whole point of that "open" is that it's spontaneous and driven by people's own desire to fight; not driven by getting a pat on the head and a monetary reward.

---------

Those things you metion, OP, would actually be detrimental to open world PvP. "Ok.. I gotta go kill some guy in Tatooine to unlock this title." FAIL! It feels forced and ridiculous.

The reward for true "open world pvp" is in the fight itself.

I completely agree. World pvp is exciting, often more so than Warzones, and should be rewarded as such.

So, I'll add to the pages of people saying the exact same thing. /signed

No, it turns into pure ganking if you reward it too much. The guilds with the most players will hunt the open world areas and they will kill everyone they see.

Only a fool would wish for that, or someone who is entirely selfish.

pff you guys are loot hunter for show off while pressing space in the capital, and call yourself hardcore pvp player, b u l l s h i t.
world pvp reward is the fun that comes with it and if you dont find anyone because they all doing warfront/bg or whatever just go to the capital and kill them while they are in queue for it

Hmm, really what needs to happen is if there are rewards in Warzones there needs to be equal rewards in open world or open world will never happen. That is part of the reason (among many reasons) that Warhammer failed. Scenarios offered higher exp/currency rewards than open world did for the time spent in them.

It's really dissappointing to me that there is a lot of content that BioWare stated would be in the game that didn't make it for release and who knows if they still plan to implement it.

Originally all the higher tier planets were supposed to have open world RvR lakes with objectives that gave rewards for participating. You were supposed to be able to earn mercenary commendations that were the reward for participating in open world PvP. There was supposed to be mercenary specific gear you could buy with those commendations or you were supposed to have the option to change those commendations to the warzone ones so that players weren't forced to participate in both if they didn't want to.

We haven't heard a mention of that content since it was announced... 6-7 months ago.

I want to see how Ilum turns out, but I have a feeling it will lead to further dissappointment. At least the PvE in SWTOR is top notch. I will have to get my PvP fix some where else unless things change though.

I can certainly agree with that. Meaningful open world objectives and areas where you fight for a reason.

But the game just launched - and it has more content at this stage than the vast majority of MMOs do at launch.

Let's give them a chance, shall we?

I also support this thread, I want an MMO I can play for a long time. I dont see it happening without a good open pvp system....Lineage 2 is free now. I hope it is a serious expansion soon after launch.

because the first impression is good. the expectations are high.


Thanks for making the game.
