Patch 2.1 and Wolves Den, PvP discussion...

So how is PvP supposed to work in this game. From what I can tell with my limited time here is that this game is no where near balanced for PvP play.

1)Melee cannot close distance to ranged.

2)Ranged can kite melee.

3)Sleep spell and how this will work into PvP

4)latency issues....

Discuss...

500ms lag PvP. Oh this will be fun!

It'll be just like WoW vanilla when people were still using dial-up!

1 - 3.) We have different skills when in a PvP Zone.

4.) I haven't experienced any that didn't involve 60+ people crowding around a single fate boss

Have a link to this or is this just your theory on how they will handle it?

On my phone atm so no link, but this was mentioned during beta iirc, perhaps EA.

It's very old common knowledge. Yoshida's addressed it specifically; please enjoy the googles.

Indeed, PvP has been clearly, repeatedly stated as being balanced separate from the core game. I don't know what all this entales as I didn't go anywhere near Wolves' Den during Phase 4, but given there was very little said about it on the Beta forums I can only imagine that means it was good. That said, melee will always have issues with ranged, it's just a given.

I wanna know WHY were fighting each other personaly. In other games the factions are the reasons we war with each other, Why do we do it in this one?

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?

It's optional PVP, gaunt, so this is mostly about those who want to get at it against each other rather than the comp'.
