Patch 2.1 and Wolves Den, PvP discussion...

I can't wait for PVP to be added it'll be nice to have something fun to do at lvl 50. Hopefully you'll be able to obtain armor from PVP so there's an option other than dungeon runnning.

Being a CNJ/WHM, its impossible for me to PVP effectively right?

Don't know, noone said anything about the PvP during Phase 4. We'll just have to wait and see.

I hope the pvp "sieges" actually have benefits to properly motivate people to compete. I have a background of playing Lineage 2 and Aion, so I'm looking forward to a little pvp, even a dinky arena to play in will be nice. Lots of people in this community seem a bit, well - soft? Sensitive? Well, anyways it just seems like it might take some work to get people out there to compete with each other directly instead of over the duty finder.

gee you have not played pvp yet and already complaining about it i bet once you get fragged you will blame system not bad gamesmanship...

No one is complaining, Im simply using logic to come to the conclusion that PVE skills in this game will be drastically unbalanced and asking the question how this will be addressed.

HAVE YOU PLAYED PVP YET ? name a game that had perfect pvp when first started wow didn't, fact is they screwed around so much with wow pvp its nothing more than a worthless crap fest now, I suggest wait till it's released then make some comments based on playing pvp and suggesting the balance you think should be implemented.

fact is i am sure you know this there will be tons of people crying how hard or or easy it easy lets hope that yoshi and the folks at square enix don't fold under pressure and make pvp a carebear type gamestyle keep it a challenge.

I very much like the idea of a special skill set for PvP. Just so long as its not just all our normal skills, with different effects. Giving each class the tools it needs to compete against other classes is solid. Unfortunately no MMO so far has had the balls to make PvP a separate game to PvE. I think Rift came close with the PvP Souls, But you had to do a lot of PvP with PvE souls in order to get those ... Monk especially would need a lot of changes to its core mechanics otherwise it'd be useless since you would get very little uptime on your target as well as positional requirements boning you out of half your Damage.

Giving Tanks the ability to force players to attack them over their Healer would be a VERY welcome change in MMO PVP. Would be amazing to see Class Roles useful in PvP.

I normally hate PvP in MMOs. I'm really keen to see if XIV will be a trailblazer, or just a new addition to the cattle herd.

Yay! I found your post again! I created a thread that I hope will help provide more information.

Known details of the PvP system.

Shut up and load your magazine jim.

But I like story reasons for battling each other, just a personal opionon. Unless i missed the drop on this in which case could one of you kind fellows guide me there?

Wasn't it stated in one of the developer notes that the little tidbit about pvp was between each GC to promote a friendly competition between the three? That was probably the only bit of info about wolves' den that was directly given out to the public.
