Will this game ever get open world pvp?

Just imagine, a degenerate griefer killing you as soon as you start a long cutscene all night and you can never progress the story. No thanks.

Or they could just make you immune to combat while in a cutscene.

Feel like every thread that proposes open world pvp is actually some kind of scheme to see who can farm the most thumbs up by finding the snarkiest way to say no.

I dont need to be snarky... but most games that have this are built WITH it... any copy paste in version would be sure to be fail from the word go.

that and the OP's post is one very good reason it would fail. that desire to gank seems strong in most who cheerlead for open world pvp

Speaking of ganks, I can't wait to demolish gank squads in Elden Ring.

Just think player just starts out on the game at level 1 and leave the city just to be killed by highest level characters and not be able to do anything. No thanks

I mean would PVP in open world be so bad if you have to consent to a duel prior to engagement?

Additionally you can have an option to automatically reject duel requests.

I don’t really understand how’d that hamper people if it’s entirely optional.

Because that's not what "open world PvP" means.

PvP is so much fun! Until you're in a MSQ dialogue lock, lol. I don't think it'll be a thing. I love the instances for it though!

a dedicated pvp server would become a meme and likely be mostly dead with a small select few lurking about complaining about how everything is dead.

And then asking for, or looking for, ways to FORCE people into it.

If WOW tomorrow took away ALL rewards from war mode, you'd see how popular it is..or rather, isnt. FF 14's audience is 99% PVE.

Want open world pvp? WOW is --------------> that way.

After playing Archeage for about a year or two, I hope this game never gets open world PvP and I know it never will. Usually the people who ask for this don't want PvP they just want an excuse to be horrible to others and get away with it.

However, I would be okay with an optional flagging system like Star Wars Galaxies had. You could "flag up" for PvP and attack or be attacked by any other player that had also flagged up for PvP. Completely optional.
