World PvP sucks and the customers have spoken

I like it. I mean everyone gets a chance to get to a level they might be able to do something about other people in PVP. World PVP in 90% of PVE games becomes "Lets drag the most, highest level possible, people into a lowbie zone and pound them. Then move when we lose once."

90% of world PVP on games not specifically designed with the focus or PVP is simple ganking. The 10% remaining is rediculously fun, but not worth getting ganked constantly by someone 5+ levels over you, most likely a stealth class with an escape. Oh wait, here comes a fair fight. Nope, that stealther added on. Oh wait here comes a fair fight, nope he brought friends. Oh wait here comes....20 of them vs 1 of me.

RAWR ok it's PVP time, we slowly gathered a force of people together over time and now we meet them blow for blow. It's FUN!!! We roll them once and 3/4 of them leave. ***!!! You mean we did the PVP thing, hanging in there and working together to fight an enemy...what true PVP is about...and as soon as it got fair or they were at a disadvantage THEY LEFT?


Yes, welcome to the type of PVP inspiring this whining.

I hope one day a PVP system is implemented that rewards fair fights and punishes cowardice enough that open PVP becomes "somewhat balanced PVP" (Not asking for an even shot, just a reasonable chance). Until then though PVP players are simply not mature enough to handle open systems. They are just gankers professing to want a fair fight, while using X or Y class known to be ridiculous at ganking/open PVP. IE lying through their friggen teeth.






This is not my first go round, been playing MMORPG PVP since DAOC. Same arguments every PVE game, same BS reasons that most open world PVP whiners really don't mean. Same proof they don't mean it as the game and games evolve. Every time. Stop feeding me BS like I haven't been there done that a million times. I know where you stand from over a decade of experience with the exact same type of people using the exact same arguments.

I'm sure you'd never play a geared 50 vs lowbies in open world or Warzones either *eye roll*.

most people right now even on pvp servers are actually playing their story.

nar shaddaa is the first pvp planet.

nothing is stopping you from going to their quest areas other than the fact you are probaly too scared to.

I don't understand these threads.. The game literally just came out and people are acting like it has no chance at all based on what they've seen from 1 day (early access doesn't count, as that's too small of a fraction). On Tatooinee I ran into 3 groups of Republic players on 3 completely separate occasions yesterday. I personally loved it, the companions make things a lot more interesting as well.

You guys need to wait for people to level up, really let the dust settle, take another look at these types of things, then come back here and say how horrible it is.

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."

Get it fixed please because as it stands this game has terrible world PvP, it's the biggest carebear fest since WAR. Why are Empire & Republic seperated on the contested zones, I am half way through the game and have not seen ONE Empire player so far, what a complete joke. 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.

lots of PVEers commenting..


Good amount of people would LOVE a PVP server that was closer to UO style than WoW..

let us kill and loot eachother..

let us capture things and occupy them..


I don't care if i'm a level 1 and getting ganked by level 50.. thats PART OF THE FUN.. knowing at any moment your day could be ruined..

I really wish a competent company would buy Darkfall Online... It's still the best PVP mmorpg out there..

Sadly the big studios give no props to TRUE PVPers.. just 1 server and a couple thousand people would fill it and play on it..

the rest could go kill their monsters and do quests.. and jump into Warzones w/out worrying about losing a thing

WIN FREAKING WIN
