Any news on PVP? Is it still in a "generic" for lack of a better term, at the moment? I heard you had to finish a portion of the story quest and select you GC before accessing this. Anyone tried it yet and can shed their thoughts on the potential of it? Any other game comparisons/ similarities?
Thanks.
PVP...?

should be out in first patch. different armor, weapons and weapon skills for PVP. It will be nothing like what you saw in P4. P4 was for server stress testing <--- lol

Cool, sounds like a whole 'nother game, within a game. Pretty excited for this.

08-27-2013, 11:43 PMFelix7007I was actually about to say that in my last post. I can't wait for it to come out because yea... it's a whole other side to the game.Quote:

You will access PvP by going to The Wolve's Den Pier in la noscea and talking to the NPC at the registraiton counter. There is an aetheryte in that area, so you might want to visit it before then. -

The idea and hope of the things being "totally separate" spits in the face of the immersion that A) MMORPGs are centered around and B) the direction and emphasis of the new development team.
Beyond specific rewards gained from PvP and actions/abilities being tweaked in PvP (perhaps some unique) granted through PvP, all those hoping for a PvP monorail that guts out the rest of the game should expect to be sorely disappointed.
I love PvP, and I love PvP in an MMO setting. This fast-track to entry stuff that circumvents the entire world that one is playing in is ridiculous and a mindset borne from the desire of instant gratuity and ultimately from people who should not be catered to.
People who want this aren't here for the entirety of the game, in their very base desire they are stating that they wish for the other 90% of the game to have no relevance. Synergy is what keeps a game alive.
League of Legends is over there. -
08-27-2013, 11:57 PMRivalda_KreissiegAwesome! Thanks for the great info. I'm assuming the fighting would be more specifically real time and no auto attack? I guess I'll have to wait. Also, any idea if 2.1 is going to be launched before the end of the year? (apologies if this was already stated in a Letter from the producer)Quote:

Not if its a totally separate game. Or anything that you have described.
-
08-28-2013, 12:04 AMFelix7007You are going to log on and be like hmmmm..... should i kill some primals today or get the next rank in PVP? There will be some integration, probably main quests and stuff. but no, its not going to be totally separate. Hell, the only way to get to PVP is through PVE right now.Quote:

Really hoping that they do a decent job with it. The fact that there are totally separate PvP skills is promising.

What they should do for the PVP is create a bounty system. Of course the infamy system will have to be implemented also. Depending on how much killing the predator is doing, a bounty should be placed on their head. If a player or party kills the one with the bounty, they should be rewarded with EXP and Gils. :) just a thought...:p anyone agree? That way the person going around killing low levels would have to think about the repercussions. Or uhhhh city vs city?.......nah lol

08-29-2013, 10:54 AMPSxpert2011Yes! PvP will be a tribute to Tanaka san(1st director of 1.0) and the original stamina meter/bar... long live the mashing of the buttons! ;)Quote:
