I rolled on a PvP server to PvP not to PvE, take a look at how WOW set out the faction quests in their contested zones to get a clue how it should be done.

Anyway, it seems the PvP community are not happy about this at all.

To all PvE server rollers you need not reply to this thread as these matters do not concern you, thx.


EDIT: Am actually afk in the middle of the road on a very busy contested zone and I know when I alt+Tab back to the game I will be safe and sound. If this was WOW I would have been killed by now, what a tame safe and sound world you have created and this means for PvP players it's very, very boring.
your post already shows this is an ongoing conversation in it's proper place, why did you drag it into the already over cluttered general forum?

If your quest zone don't meet the other faction's to your taste, get some balls and go pay them a visit?

Bioware saw in the beta time and time again that people's biggest complaint was ganking.. Especially the ganking and camping of lowbies.. A lot was put in this game to prevent that..

The game is fine.. If you are a self proclaimed hardcore PVP'er.. Try MW3 or Crysis or something.. In either case.. There is an entire planet dedicated to PVP..

Am not speaking for everyone else, I provided a link showing you loads of /signed speaking for themselves.

Thx

I encountered several enemy faction players on Tatooine, fought them and killed them. I've done the same on every cross faction planet since. I think you're expecting PvP everywhere, which isn't the experience most people want. Unless you want to get ganked all the time while questing, which I certainly don't.

I've been MMO pvping since Neverinter Nights in '94, I roll on pvp servers, and its why i play MMOs. So according to the OP i guess i can voice my opinion on these public forums.

Ganking low levels to me isn't pvp. Jumping a guy bogged down by 5 mobs isn't pvp either. My opinion, regardless how crazy it may sound

I"m somewhat hopeful that at endgame, we have an opportunity to do some decent base capturing, or planets for that matter (though i doubt that), and i would really like if the old Mythic developers talked these guys (bioware) into looking at DAoC for some ideas. Since i am not at the endgame, i'll withhold judgement, but i will say, so far its nothing like WoWs pvp, we're off to a good start

It wouldn't suck to be able to PvP 24/7. I want a type of Shadowbane sieging system implemented in the game.

But what the OP is getting at is we have zones, just large zones, but none the less zones. What about allowing PvP servers, to have server wide Open World PvP rule sets like that found in Outlaw's Den. Allowing guilds from the same faction to fight one another; that would be epic in a good way.

The OP has a history on these forums complaining about everything, I honestly wonder why he is even playing the game with all vitriol he spews everyday. He speaks for himself and no one else

A bunch of people /signing a post obviously devoted to open world PVP to show the game needs more/better open world PVP is hardly scientific, and I'll absolutely guarantee you it is no indication that "the customers have spoken."
