Open World PVP

With as monotonous an grindy as PVP is right now, something that SE could do to make it a bit more useful, and give people more motivation to actually grind out the gear is to promote an open-world PVP system.

They could even give you a small amount of Wolf Marks/EXP for each kill you get in the field.

Not going to happen. Everyone besides the PvPers would cry rivers of blood.

Restrict it to specific zones or require confirmation, like accepting a duel, and that should prevent too much QQ from non PVP players.

I know the game is similar to world of warcraft, but do we really need it to make it even more like it?

Aye. Maybe something like FC vs. FC pvp, that would be so awesome.

Maybe because the classes weren't really balanced for 1 vs 1. Can't imagine anyone wanting to fight a tank alone.

its not a problem , duels have not to be balanced :

1) its just for fun
2) its usefull to test skill , stuff , etc...

They are in a lot of mmorpg without any balanced in 1vs1

If only you could level multiple classes in this game.

OT: Isn't Frontlines meant to be open world?

Previews state it will be a persistent zone focused on world PvP with each of the three grand companies vying for territorial control. That's all we really know.

Think Wintergrasp from World of Warcraft.

THey make a solo que where the person picks a Healer, tank, Range DPS, and Melee dos. If you don't have all 4 you can't enter PVP.

While I think Dev. need to come out and explain why the whole world need to be queuing up for Wpvp. like does the winning world get a bonus for the week, kind of like XI did. I feel like the highest the Ranks in PVP make you General in the Matchs, Person with the highest PVP rank Gets to pick or the 10 highest or all 40 rank PVPers vote on what is the world bonus are.

Really? You can't see the scenario where you get some 13 year old spamming you with duel requests?

That's the closest this game is going to get to open world PvP.

just limit duels to the welf den area if you wants ...

Then like Mor dona, this little island must upgrade it self to the next level

I doubt they will implement this because class versus class is not at all balanced... this is the reason why they have such heavy restrictions on who can even enter arena (one ranged, one melee, one tank, one healer). If all classes were balanced well, we wouldn't have this restriction, and open world pvp in approved/dedicated zones would make sense. The closest we're going to get is frontlines, but I'm pretty sure they'll require even teams for that.

This is "Final Fantasy", not WoW. Get over it. :p

wow is just an MMORPG in warcraft universe
FF XIV is just and MMORPG in final fantasy Unniverse.

thats all and this fact does not limit anything , just different story , different class , different gameplay , but these game are mmorpg , what we could find in an another mmorpg could be find in ff xiv too if it is great , or cool for some players

Imagination is the key to life.
Who cares about balance, dueling is fun.

I would love request dual feature. It's always kinda mindless fun and nobody takes it seriously. If you're worried about someone spamming this, it's not that big of a deal. I don't see anyone spamming trade requests everywhere, but if someone did I'd just blacklist em for trolling.

I'd like frontlines to work like this. We teleport into a specific zone. Each GC has their own base or town to TP to, effectively a safe zone. Once exited, its free for all GC vs GC vs GC. I'll take my gridania pride with me, and kick some major limsa booty. Take over additional hubs, and make it reset every 12 hours or so. Points, exp, and rank depends on objectives and players killed. Objectives giving a ton more. Random quests appear, kill x amount of y class. Or do x amount of heals, x amount of damage ect. for us to farm daily pvp quests.

I hope it'll never happen but then again if it did, I'd probably just ignore it like I'm doing with current PvP. As long as it is relegated to its own corner and does not affect my gameplay, they can do whatever they want. I'm just bitter because PvP gets the best looking gear.

Duel is generally a feature that both players agree to initiate.
If your afraid of a certain class, don't duel them.
