Add NPC factions & other activities into PvP battles

[Altanas]

Do people feel PvP appears somewhat repetitive with the lack of objectives.

Taking Seal Rock as an example, does every wave need to be a spawn of more nodes?

Why not spice things up a little?

1. A surprise wave of beastmen storming a node along with summoning their respective primal

2. A Garlean wave, node specific or map wide

3. Nodes which require players to switch to DOL

4. ?

Any thoughts?

No need PvE features in PvP..., that is an important PvP rule.

Any thoughts?

My thoughts reflect the others who've posted in this thread so far: I don't want any PvE in my PvP.

If something different is to be added to the occasional tomelith spawn, it needs to be without any NPCs. Maybe some sort of defensive barrier around a node for 30s after it spawns, forcing teams to fight over it before any can capture it. Or perhaps an environmental change near the spawn, like a danger zone (some sort of...wildfire? Lava? I dunno, but you get the idea.) that changes the terrain and how one has to approach it.

I like the general idea of there being random, special "events" that occasionally pop up alongside nodes, but, whatever it is, it really needs to keep NPCs out of the picture. I was so happy that they didn't add any version of Carteneau's "nodes" into the new Seal Rock PvP, and I'll be even more happy if they never bring them back.

Also, while your DoL idea is interesting, I'm not sure how they could possibly balance the need to defend these DoL players from enemies. It's not like you can physically block enemies with a wall of shields. Though, I'm more than a little amused by the idea of literal "data mining".

This made me laugh.
