Wish List Fo PvP

Granted, PvP is not released yet, but having played other games, what would the community like to see in the PvP of ARR?

Quarry.

/10char

Leaderboards with some kind of rating system, win/loss tracking. Unlockable PVP gear based on your rating. Typically mmo PvP stuff.

Something similar to Huttball from SWTOR would be amazing...

Objective based PvP has always been my favorite, I think it's why I enjoyed the PvP in SWTOR so much.

here are some of my Ideas.

1: PvP skills that are unique to PvP other then something that removes CC's.
Skills that can be earned with PvP Experience, maybe a form of PvP lvling system, and pvp skill tree. for each class/ job.

2: Unquie Weapons, and Armor, for PvP.

3: Frontlines being in a Massive area that is about 3 times the size of DragonHead, or 3 separate zones. With Keeps and Ruins that FC's can Capture, Claim, and defend from other FC that are from opposing Factions.
that will help lvl FCs in a form of PvP FC rating system or lvling system.

4: PvP Ladder.

5: Things we can earn in PvP to put into FC housing, and personal housing later on. something aesthetic. maybe something like Trophies to put in our Houses.

6: 1 VS 1, 2 VS 2, 4 vs 4 etc that we can do in practice matchs with fellow FC members to practice our skills. and have fun with fellow FC members.

~Continue below~

7: PvP Season Tournaments with BIG prizes like Ultra Special Mounts, Very rare and unique Houses like a Tower or castle for for Large House plots, and other unique houses for Small and Medium.

8: Air Ships for Front line pvp.

9: Raid PVP Limit Breakers lvl 4!

10: PvP Materia.

11: Special Chocobo Barding that can be earned in PvP.

12: Siege warfare in FrontLines.

13: The Ability to fortify Keeps in Frontlines pvp, like add walls to Keeps if we do have keeps.

14: the Ability to summoner Full-sized Primals into Frontline pvp.

15: Weather effects in Frontlines that can effect the battle field like Fog making it hard to tell where the enemy is, Rain making Mud slowing movement. etc

16: PvP Frontlines Quests and Leves.

17: Frontlines Boss fights that we need to kill to claim keeps, or Ruins.

18: Frontlines world bosses. in the field, also mobs.

~more below~

19: Backdoors to Keeps and Ruins so we can use more then frontal attacks as a tactic, or underground hidden routes.

20: A Tactical map we can draw on for Raid members to see a plan of attack, that only "Raid leaders" can draw on and help coordinate plans of attack.

21: more then just Wolves den for Area style pvp.

and now I'm out of breath!!

hope everyone likes at least some of these ideas.

What I want:

• No gear progression, everyone has the same gear(like SPVP in GW2)
• Cosmetic gear upgrades only, no stats
• Same-server only
• You can see everyone's name, none of this silly "FRESH MEAT" carebear stuff
• Objective based maps that encourage you NOT to zerg and to split up
• Good game modes, capture the flag, huttball(SWTOR), defending doors/pushing doors(was in WOW and SWTOR can't remember name), king of the hill, etc.
• Full group and solo/duo ladders
• Solo + duo queue using the same queue system, full teams using a separate one
• Skills are completely separate and work completely differently in PVP from PVE. If you nerf something for PVP it ONLY nerfs it in PVP, and all skills will behave completely differently in both PVE and PVP for perfect balance in both.
• Cosmetic rewards for player/FC houses and cosmetic gear you can use outside of PVP
• Unique hairstyles, haircolors, and unique dye colors only obtainable through PVP
• Minion pet's only obtainable though PVP

What I expect:

• Cross-server
• No ladder
• Can't see anyone's names, "Fresh meat"
• Gear progression system, X amount of tokens per week, can only gear 1 job per 5 months in PVP
• Heavily gear influenced, PVE gear is allowed and makes a huge difference even against the best PVP gear
• No cosmetics, no minions, nothing cool but gear from PVP
• One map type, 4v4 death match, one single map
• Skills do the exact same things in PVP and PVE but PVP has a few "special" skills you need to grind for(and therefor if you're new to pvp you're at a huge disadvantage)
• Ability to only queue solo and a full group, no duo queueing.

A type of game where your party fights for as long as you win against different enemy teams. Higher winstreaks would obviously give better prizes.

I don't expect much from pvp in this game, so my wish is only this small one :p

It was called Voidstar and other than Huttball was the most awesome thing in PvP in that game. As for the rest of your list, 100% agree with it.

I actually liked WoW-like PvP (in terms of gear) over GW2 style. It really felt like I was bringing in *my* character with all the things I earned through PvE and PvP content. I guess I can understand it would lead to unfair advantages and whatnot, but I was never that concerned with it, tbh.
IDK, I'm no genius on how PvP content should work. As long as I feel like I'm being rewarded with phat loots while progressing through PvP (that are not *just* cosmetic), I'll be happy. And maybe some sort of ranking system would be nice... like going from a private to corporal or something, and getting rewards accordingly. I just don't want PvP to be tacked on for the sake of having PvP. It needs to be an alternate way of enjoying the game as opposed to doing dungeons and raids. If the only rewards you could get are cosmetic and fun (like housing furniture and pets), then that's a bit bland. Not that I wouldn't love those sorts of rewards, but the gear obtained through PvP should mean something.

It was fun but I found it got dull almost as fast as WvWvW pretty fast.

I don't like hutt-ball TOR is a failed mmo and I really don't want to follow in it's footsteps.
Only saving grace of TOR was the story. pretty much everything else sucked. :-p

DAOC style PVP. He is already doing something like it but let's hope it happens.

I want them to get rid of that "Fresh Meat" nonsense. It needs to be player names. It's PvP for Pete sakes.
