PvP in ff14

[bronzekey]

I would not pick up this game until I learned it was getting PVP (and housing). Then I was in 100% and loving it.

I love the IP, I bought Final Fantasy 1 for NES when it first came out (Nintendo Power advertised it as the biggest RPG ever , with "over 100 items!" lol) and played 90% of the series but I never bothered with 11 due to it's niche status and obvious misunderstanding of western MMO tropes and tastes.

As I see SE are kind of MMO noobs (despite FF11), still stumbling around the genre trying to mimic its conventions. They are learning (sort of, see 1.0), but still have their awkward "what were they thinking" moments that make you scratch your head.

PVP is a step toward making the FF series fit a proper MMO framework.

I do not believe that PVP will work in this game. There should rather be no PVP than broken PVP. =(

Oh, I get it, becuase *you* don't like it and *you* don't think it will "work" nobody else should be able to have it? I see how that works.

You have no idea what its like or how it works and you haven't played it, so who are you to say whether it will "work" or not?

There will never be PvP in this game. Were getting instanced fights against pre set teams with equal numbers on either side with absolutely nothing to lose upon defeat.

Look elsewhere if you are looking for PvP

Uno doesn't have the same stakes and structure as Poker, thus Uno is not a fun game worth playing?

No buddy, it's you who doesn't get what the person is talking about - unresponsive pvp is worse than having no pvp at all.

It was plenty responsive enough during the beta, and they are making specific adjustments to response time in specific events, including the wolve's den.

I'm just gonna jump in, get that lion set for vanity purposes, and never do it again. /shrug PvP always brings out the worst in people.

Going to try and stop you every step of the way.

[Wyvernheart]

I obviously will try PVP and I am sure I will have tons of fun with it. However, it is not what brought me to this game

Good attitude

Yeah, not gonna lie, 'Fresh Meat' is scaring the crap out of me. Wth is that?

"Newbie" gladiator. You've never heard of the term?

Anyway, I hope PVP takes off, I really do, but if it doesn't make DoH any more helpful with the same excuses we've received for PvE content...I don't see myself participating that much.
