The PvP Potential of XIV

[bobbygunz]

So that you can bug other player to flag on and if they say no kill there mobs just to troll them till they turn on flag or teleport to another zone piss off ?? i know that kind of play too

Who would do such a thing anyway though? That sounds paranoid. And you can kill other people's mobs already if you want to be an annoying $%$# so it's not like PvP flagging would add anything that isn't already in the game beyond motive.

I dont think se would make it so that the second you cross over an invisible line you are automatically pvping. You never know but se usually have us talk to npc or something to join up for things. Plus what if folks just wanna watch

I for one can't wait for pvp. I loved l2 pvp and the hero system was fun. would be cool if they give us something like that!

Why bother making a whole new zone when they could just allow consentual PvP flagging? Waste of resources much? It works well enough in Blade and Soul. Get with the times SE.

the zone is being made with a purpose and with contents in mind. more creative than wasteful in my opinion. its not for casual pvp'ing like in colosseum matches from the sounds of it.

as long as it's balanced... i do not care...

I like the idea of the Colosseum, and maybe some skirmishes between Grand Companies instead of all out war???
Kind of like wargames...

just a thought ^_^

too bad there is no kill stealing in this game

I'd like to see some form of capture-the-flag implemented.

Not everyone likes capture-the-flag PvP game-modes, but they remain a form of PvP that's objective-based, easy to implement, easy for new players to understand, balanced for both sides, and have also been proven to be both fun and immensely popular across many different games and genres. SE can come up with more lofty and ambitious PvP-scenarios later if they desire, but they should implement capture-the-flag first so that players still have access to a tried, tested, true, and fun form of PvP should their new PvP-scenarios turn out to be not fun or unpopular.

Tell em to watch GW 2 pvp, that's pretty epic

I don't know, but as stated, force RMT into PVP mode at all times, and disable their ability to deal damage to players. Thanks.
Or. You could let them attack other players, and rename all proven RMT as "Bandits" or "Slavers" and have it so players have to hunt them down and make it actually game related?
Either way.

Isn't this the purpose of 2.0? Making new zones with content in the zones?

I don't know what Ballista you were playing. But Ballista was not boring.

Yeah, it was so much fun. Though, I hope there is more incentive to keep playing it than in XI.
