Open World PvP Area Concept: The West Shroud

That's why I make the distinction. Being in a premade doesn't automatically make someone good, and numbers hardly make up for lack of skill or understanding.

Sure, we make premades to try and bolster our strengths against the enemy.

See this is what people automatically assume. I honestly don't do premades to bolster strength. I honestly only group with friends because it is way more fun.

It's easy to talk big when others carry you. Wow, pocket healer, so skillful.

Anger much. To think I get carried is honestly funny. My gf (a.k.a. pocket healer as you dub it) is more focused on her own kills than "pocket healing" me.

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

You're right. I mean, most times I just like to go in with people I know. . . it just so happens that they're mostly fellow 3.x vets, so I know I'll be with a strong team.

I do have friends who are newer, or just PvP from time to time casually that I'll go with of course. And maybe someday I'd like a pocket healer :/

[Wintersandman]

I have those as well. The LS I formed takes in everyone. We don't care how good someone is and we just pvp for fun. If I am dps'ing I am only going in for kills. Even if it is Shatter I only focus on the players and never touch the ice unless everyone is dead and more often I am going to go find them. If I am healer, I only heal players who attack other players.

This idea is lit, signal boosted.

Use FFXI as open world pvp for example it was successful

Balista , conquest, etc

Sounds cool, but the sanctuary/safe part gave me war flashbacks. People will just retreat to the safe area if they're about to die, unless there's also a timer for vulnerability, once the person runs into the safe area. One way that I've seen that type of issue addressed, was to just teleport the player(s) to the map.

It's easy to talk big when others carry you. Wow, pocket healer, so skillful. Organized premade vs unorganized solo queue, sure that takes skill. I'll look forwards to fighting you in game, make sure to bring your premade.

99.9% of time i played solo and i never really had any major issues be it against randoms or premades, surely those small premades were better than common joe but that's why i always liked when they were on opposing side and not on my team. Farming normies was kinda boring in the end(let's be honest XIV playerbase as a whole is not that good be it pvp or pve, if you have basic understanding of a job then you are already above average).

Lmao wpvp would fail big time in this game, just go to wow or gw2
