[Fanfest] Open World PvP

[madolyn]

FFXIV and FFXI are games that I always felt a strong sense of community, team building, friendship, and people working together towards a common goal. An adventure, if you will. Open world PVP destroys that feeling for me as I don't see the motivation. It would just bring in too much unwanted toxic "git gud" players. There are better games suited for PvP.

i'm totally AGAINST open world PVP, for me ffxiv is a pve game.

No thank you. If they added open world PvP on all servers then that is when I quit the game. I went through that with WOW and don't care to do it again. Keep PVP in instances like it is.

FFXIV1.2x had the minimum budget,
but we didn't want to leave that game, (that means money to SE)
because playing with others, making new friends every day, are fun!

I know Yoshi had put a lot of money in the 2.0/3.0 CG movies, one time single play content/new DF dungeons for tomes/voice acting etc
but those things lack the longevity, they waste a lot of development resources
once people got bored of this & leave, no budget for the new fancy stuff, then the game will reach the dead end

They could make a zone that is purely PVP similar to how WoW accidently made South Shore a PVP battleground. (I hope you don't cringe to Wow but here we go) If anyone played Vanilla WoW South Shore battles were pretty epic back in the day. So maybe if SE put in a zone where PVP players could roam. Indication given that you are entering such a place and then quests like in the area that can give daily bonus to pvp points.

Fates can spawn that reward PVP points and then have people brawl out while trying to get those points.

I honestly have never NOT even once done FFXIV pvp but I'm throwing some ideas out there so that the other half of the community that does has some type of safe haven.

I'd welcome open world PvP everywhere in the game, just like in TERA, you send a challenge to a player and if accepted the battle begins, no need for a new area exclusive for this, even though they'd look like criminals battling all over Eorzea!...

Not that I would make use of the feature because I like PvP roulette better and wherever it takes me, too bad the Twin Adders suck so much, it'll take years before I see those PvP mounts!...

I personally am not a fan. I remember seeing my brother randomly attack a guy who was already engaged in a battle with a non player enemy in WoW and he wiped the floor with him. Laughed, and flew away. What was that all about? As long as they make specific servers for it I guess I can just ignore that it exists and those players that want it can go there. Pretty sure that's how WoW did it too.

[AlphaFox]

Not something I'll use. If its set to new servers, have fun but if they incorporate it into existing servers I'll move on to a new game. I hate PvP and I assume a fair amount of people here have zero interest in it by how many complaints we had around bad wait times for PvP. Even if they plan to overhaul the battle system and skills I still don't see me being interest in PvP.

I could see it working very well. IF we have:.
A specific zone designed for open world PVP. Just letting sadistic ten year olds stab me in the back while i'm minding my own business can stay in World of Warcraft. If Open world pvp gets very old very fast if we don't have PVP objectives like capturable, bases and siege weapons and all sort of crazy exploding non-allagan magitech. This of course requires an area designed for such things.

no thanks

final fantasy is a PvE game

go play some fps if you want pvp
