[Fanfest] Open World PvP

[Remus]

This may sound crazy... maybe they could make it a toggle like most other MMOs? Crazy I know. If you don't like to do PvP in open world just turn off PvP >.> So then people who enjoy it can turn it on.

We don't need open world PvP, but we need more dueling areas, I think.

Here in Sargatanas, there was actually a sizeable amount of people using that dueling square at the Wolves' Den for about a week and a half, but it died off last week, probably due to how out of the way it is (and the fact that you only ever saw tanks and the occasional Dragoon there).

Stick new areas like in like Idyllshire or something and more people will likely use them. (And let Healers actually Cleric Stance in there.)

So long as people with a sprout are non-target-able I think it might be okay. Nothing is worst than making a new character in WoW and being forced into PVP servers since the PVE ones are pretty much dead..... unless it's Moonguard, but I stay far, far away from that.

They can make a separate map for it. They can make our characters join two or more warring beast tribes and open world PvP will only be active on specific "siege" times and only to those who are participating.

We have both PvE and DoH/DoL beast tribes but we don't have anything for PvP yet.

[Nalfein]

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.

Same for me ...really not in that kind of stuff , that would definitely makes me run away from this game.

[Synestra]

Considering how popular PvP is in this game...

I dunno. I think that speaks for itself. Best I could see is a semi-PvP-ish siege map where you are using vehicles and ballista more than actually PvPing with our characters.

How about no? this kind of "PvP" should never exist in any MMO ever.

[Terribad]

I think a map the size of ARR's old maps or smaller where you can go in and PvP would actually be nice.

If he wanted to keep the GC restriction that would be fine, just a free for all. Maybe capture forts or having glamour drops in there from the mobs. Or maybe even decent mining nodes,etc. Of course make whatever drops in there tradeable for the people that don't want to go.

[Spawnie]

Nope dont need it at all want to kill some1? Thats wat frontline n wolf den is for

Open world PvP wouldn't work unless they overhauled the combat as well as balancing GC restrictions all that people have to do is swap GC and go to the "best" one and overwhelm whoever is camping people, not to mention the maps don't compliment PvP in the slightest. They're all too sandboxed and small sure it'd be fun to go around with your friends, blow people up, LBing people etc,there's also the fact that there's no reward for PvP players besides glamour/mounts and the gear is all but useless.

There's also the problem with areas being awkward like Sea of Clouds, Churning Mists where there are a lot of elevations to consider not to mention a lot of the areas don't have people in them, the majority are either in roulettes or houses people don't venture out in the world as much.

To balance PvP they'd have to:

-Have a toggle feature for PvP where you'd have to be in a "safezone" for 5 mins till it flags off except for 50+ areas where you'll always be flagged for PvP
-Remove GC restrictions just make it so we're all PvP mercenaries (applies in battlegrounds, WPVP)
-Make gear useful in PvP for example, if it's ilvl 250, in PvP combat it's ilvl 270 that way it's only use is PvP and not better then raid gear
-Have daily world PvP quests that give you EXP/Wolf marks where you have to kill certain people (Kill 1 Roe, 1 Miqo, 1 Lala, 1 Hyur, 1 Elezen or 1 Au Ra in WPVP)
-Gatherers/Crafters can't be flagged for PvP
-Put in areas where there's world PvP objectives 24/7 something like Ashran from WoW but not as awful with it's non PvP objectives

I'm not really for or against world PvP but I know if they put it in now I don't think anyone would play on them as most people don't want it or just ignore it altogether. It's a shame because I myself, had all the intentions of wanting to arena PvP in the Wolves Den but found out that I can only que solo for ranking? This, and many other examples are just how awkward the PvP in this game can be that's all it is:Awkward.

I don't want them to waste resources on a feature nobody will use.
