Best MMO PvP you ever played?

Dark Age of Camelot was by far the best game to have pvp. If there was a grading scale on games pvp daoc would be a 1000, where as no other game would be higher then a 10.

1. Planetside
2. Warhammer Online
3. WoW

It's a tie between EVE Online and WoW. EVE's sandbox World PvP is great. WoW's combat system (responsiveness, macro system, and default UI feature set) is stellar. If only EVE's combat was more interactive and engaging. If you were to somehow mesh the pros of EVE and WoW you could have an amazing PvP MMO.

EVE online. There was something epic about fighting 500 other people in ships worth thousands of dollars with plans that took weeks to coordinate, only for it all go to hell, and then watch as someone who is high and drunk take command and somehow pull a win out.

Knight online when ppl don't cheat

The reason i say Ko is because unlike most games lvl, and gear wasn't the biggest factor in who would win in a team fight or 1v1.The biggest was who could combo skills the fastest which took some skill unlike most games which just take bad *** gear

DAoC >*

I could log on right now and run around in Cathal Valley on my Merc and get into something that's going to get my heart rate up.

Gameplay mechanics - For some reason, DAoC feels "sharper" than modern MMO's. When you hit someone with your sword/axe/hammer, there's no question that you hit them, almost like there's tactile feedback. When you get rooted, or stunned or mezzed your whole world just STOPS and the gears in your head start grinding away as you try to figure out what to do in a tenth of a second! Should I purge? Should I call out for a demezz? Heals? DAoC makes you think and work and stay on your toes like no other.

Tactics - In DAoC, each class has a very specific purpose and a specific spec. Each group has to have a specific make up of 8 people to be succseful. When you hit another 8 man after roaming around and entire zone everyone knows what to do. The driver yells out, INC, INC! Hopefully your sorcerer/driver has faced the nearest target and already chain mezzing (ccing) everything in sight. Your healers have either pulled off and dropped back or peeled to the sides. Your cabalist, theurgist or minstrel is getting to work interrupting, because in DAoC you can't do a damn thing if someone is casting on you. Then your main assist starts picking targets while the rest of the dpsers lay down hell fire and dismantle that group one by one.

If it was a good group, this could last for 10 or 20 minutes while you go back and forth, healing, interrupting, dpsing etc... But when you win... there's nothing like it.

------------------------------------------------------------

All that being said, I'm having a ton of fun in SWTOR. My only hope is that the PvP is at least better than WAR in the long run.

Guild Wars Guild Wars Guild Wars Guild Wars


It wasn't a button mash fest. If the entire team wasn't on Ventrilo or Teamspeak you didn't win anything period.

The arena's in this game make Guild Wars arena's look 1,000 times better than they are. Which is sad because Guild Wars came out like 10 years ago.

WoW = best pvp beva eva

Slidecasting. Once you got the hang of it, hard to beat.

Best = Shadowbane hands down.
Worse = TOR
