Real PvP can we have it PLEASE S.E

[wizzitywillican]

I have been sayin for a long long time that all this game needs to be perfect is some kind of PvP that we can use anywhere (exept mabee in citys) some option where u could go hostile with another player like other games do and they could accept your battle request doesnt seem like such a hard thing to implament but I belive it would remove @ least 80% of the arguing in this game you could just fight over who gets the camp or nm and be done with it. if someone calls you a gimp you could just go hostile and prove whos gimp.. IMO his would be the best update to the game ever !! EVER !!!
please post up here if you agree !!

What exactly is wrong with Brenner?

Stupid rules/gameplay, takes ages to set up.

[Rewyen]

If it could be toggled (like WoW), I'd be all for it. I can think of a few people that deserved a good jump to the face at one time or another. Brenner is alright, but as was mentioned, it takes forever to set it up and you don't get much in the way of variety.

Ballista > Brenner

But no, we don't want anywhere PvP. We just want the PvP that already exists to be improved.

I wouldn't mind an improvement to the existing PVP System.

Honestly, If you want a World-PVP Game go play WoW. I'm not saying that sarcastically either. WoW does PvP Really well, sometimes a bit one-sided, But well.

FFXI was originally designed without PVP in mind, It was designed purely as a PVE Game. PVP Was added (Half-assedly) At a later time due to some amount of demand for it. Now that its in the game, Would be real nice to see some adjustments. Unfortunately they missed their opportunity to add anything meaningful across Mid-tear range (30~70) In terms of armor cause no one has jobs those levels anymore >_>. (Can't believe i'm almost wanting Abyssea to be 65+...)

Either way, They could improve on Ballista, But it would take some time... Adding more Abdjahlis(w/e) Zones would be a nice start. Toggling PVP in open world could be enjoyable... For some... I think I'd not have a problem with it really, It won't effect me at all so long as i keep it toggled off, and i can laugh at the Ethugs who challenge me to pvp when i claim a mob they want.

So, I'm all for it now

But it will never happen, because its not within SE's vision of FFXI. which Ironically was suppose to be "Teamwork" which is now apparently "Battle Royale and F**k you" (Relic/myth/emp-99trials hi). So who knows, at this point maybe they'll just introduce a PVP Based Lotting system, They want us to kill eachother for 1 impossible to obtain item, Maybe they'll just take it a step further and have us literally kill eachother for it.

Finish killing Arch Dynamis Lord > Free for all Last man standing gets the 99 Relic Item.

Edit; *Sorry* i brought my 99Relic Rage into this thread. If you dont wanna see it, pretty much just ignore the last paragraph ^^

Can the devs provide any insight on the state of Ballista/Brenner/Diorama ever receiving an update?

No point in updating pointless things no one but the smallest persentage of people have an interest in. But SE has proven they like to waste time on crap, so it's possible.

If you want PvP, GO PLAY A PVP GAME. -_-

I could point to any of your posts of you complaining in another thread and say "If you want X go play a game that does X", and the sentiment would be equally retarded, which is why I won't do that. I'd just like to point out just how retarded your attempt at being clever really is, which is very, very retarded.

The only reason I even have a glimmer of hope that there could be an update for PvP is because they accounced something about Pankration. Ballista has been around much longer than Pankration, and has seen far more attention than Pankration ever did.
