Will you bother to PVP?

[Xatsh]

I will PvP if I am bored or waiting for events to start with the ls and have absolutely nothing else to do.

I guess I will more if they force me to... aka have a good pve item in pvp for some reason.

I play FF mmos for the Solid PvE aspect of the game, building a guild(ls), and working together. Unless SE just blows me out of the water with PvP I see no reason to play PvP in this game over say GW2 or other Non-mmo pvp based games like starcraft and call of duty which are built around the pvp model.

If they have large scale pvp I will probably do it with my ls some... but considering the tendency of large scale pvp to fail (aion and what not) I am not holding my breath on them having true large scale pvp. Expecting more 4-12 man pvp things like in other mmos which do not interest me at all.


One thing I do want to note: SE needs to not modify anything for PvP... the PvE needs to be the main focus... I do not want class nerfs, ability nerfs, ect because 1 class slaughters ppl in PvP. They need to make 2 different ability rule sets 1 for PvE and 1 for PvP.

If it's actually fun, yes.

I loved Ballista when it first came out until SE nerfed it into the ground and it just became a complete BLU or BLM fest...


Also, they damn well better disable gear damage during PvP.

PLD/RDM can easily stomp a BLU and at least has a chance against a BLM.

The real powerhouse in Ballista is still RDM/anything.

Nope. But if other people want to that's cool with me.

This.
I played EVE Online for 7 years. You have 3 choices.

- Zerg
- Gear grind
- paper, rock, scissors.

Binary code has limits and it's too easy to predict PvP in video games.

- paper, rock, scissors.

I prefer Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock

I'll avoid it to keep myself from going into full bloodlust mode (a jackass).

Also, where was it stated that the TP change from 3000 to 1000 was a change for PvP?

It wasn't. In fact, I think it's just a scaling down of the number. The real change is that TP starts full now, which was reportedly done to speed up combat more.

I play FF mmos for the Solid PvE aspect of the game, building a guild(ls), and working together.

Who would say they played FF MMOS for the Solid (unnecessary capitialization) PvP aspect? Neither of these games had PvP at launch and the only other FF MMO did not take PvP seriously. If they actually implemented PvP properly and at launch, you wouldn't be able to say something like this.

This is just like when Zelda II came out on the NES, people said "Well Zelda II sucked because it was a side scroller and none of the other zelda games were like that" when there was only one other zelda game in existence. You imply that there is a pattern of "Solid PvE" and not PvP in "FF MMOs" when there is an insufficient number of FF MMOs to suggest a pattern.

You're welcome not to like PvP and choose not to participate in it if you want, but the logic upon which you're basing your opinion is extremely flawed.

[Nakiami]

I'll totally PVP, and depending on what PVP is, I'll turn it into a LS event for peeps who want to do it.

[Cynthis]

I seriously doubt it.

[Soulfire]

I'd love PvP!

I remember in XI nobody wanted to join me... It was really sad.
All they wanted to do was PvE.

It'd be nice if there was some incentive for those types to also PvP, like nice gear unavailable elsewhere. (Or available elsewhere and acts as another method of obtainment.) And that isn't unreasonable, because it's not like every piece of content related to PvE is even enjoyed by all people who prefer only tackling the AI, and also, just because I'd be partaking in PvP doesn't mean I don't want to have acquired something sweet to bring to the table when it comes time for PvE activities with players who sunk their time elsewhere.
