PvP in ff14

[Nonlinear314]

Lol, I'm pretty sure that Wolves' Den counts as PvP. I mean it's Players...fighting...yep, you guessed it - other Players.

Actually I'm quite looking forward to it. I hear it's going to have 30 Ranks to go up in, and also special abilities that are purchased with PvP Points.

Now the only question is whether or not it'll have a tournament system and/or seasons.

There are actually other, way more critical questions regarding PvP in ARR, like how will the inherently "laggy" client-server system translate to manic PvP button mashing?

He spammed Foresight after using Flash but didn't get the buff. The Foresight animation went off, the CD was triggered but no Foresight buff. How is this going to translate to manic PvP button mashing? My guess is there is going to be a lot of frustration and rage, especially on long, important CDs like Hallowed Ground.

Yeah I know that's a big problem. SE has said that in 2.1, certain areas such as Raids and Wolves' Den battles will be optimized and have increased performance as far as latency goes. Not sure if it'll be a good enough solution, but we'll just have to wait and see. I'm just happy they actually acknowledged it's a problem.
