PVP - Ideas & Expectations!!

[Alaltus]

I personally dont like open world PVP, it brings about a whole lot of negative feelings between players that just dont fit with the whole unite together to defeat the common foe theme. Im fine with pvp being in the game wether it be random duels at the arena, company vs company battles just make it light hearted.

I hope to god they dont put owpvp in 14, If i want to pvp i would stay with Aion or WoW

I don't think full OWPVP it's good idea in FFXIV either, duels with option to refuse like in other games would be the way to go for that, with maybe a little more advance.

The only option for OWPVP if ppl really want, I could see when some area on map would be designed for that, for example place would be full of rich, rare gathering resources etc, so ppl can fight there for it, or have a exiting mining time, watching all the time their back ;D

I would honestly prefer that there never be any form of PvP in the game. Hmm....... Go figure, I agree with Cairdeas O.O

3) Open World PVP, and I don't mean pk, ganking etc, I mean possibility of having duels everywere we go in game, I'm sure it would bring a lot of fun, and players would find cool places to do their own private tournaments, fights etc.

A word of warning with this. From WoW experiences, there are people that will nag you all day with challenges. They may also chase you around trying to get you to cave in. Not saying it will happen, but you never know what kind of person you may meet.

What little FFXI did with PvP, they did right. They did it without it affecting the rest of the PvE world the game revolved on. It was also friendly and both teams were in good manner, so borrowing from there is a start.

omg just put it in a different server so all the carebearz dont have to cry all day that we are having fun

There is an arena in Ul'dah so in the future I hope we can either battle others (team or solo) in a tournament style play. Or battle monsters ala FFVII monster arena.

So this thread sums up to: "Waaaah I don't like PvP because another player might expose how bad I am at the game, don't implement it SE so that PvP fans can't have fun and we can all fight easy monsters together AS FRIENDS."

If you don't like PvP, then why bother posting in the thread? It's not as if you would be FORCED to participate. Back on topic, here are my only expectations for PvP if it's ever implemented:

1. Team based. Get that hurr 1v1 duel i pwn u nonsense out of here.
2. Objective based. Shouldn't be PURELY about killing each other.
3. Balanced seperately. FFXI did this pretty well after a while (in 60 caps at least). A WS that does consistent 1k+ damage in a PvE setting should obviously be toned down to deal like 500-ish during PvP.

False. For as much as I loved WoW's PvE content, the one thing I hated more than anything about it was that it was entirely balanced around how classes performed in PvP. Specially after Arena was introduced. CLasses were buffed and nerfed because of PvP, and I don't want to see that nightmare repeat itself here. You don't grow weary of PvP until you see it nerf your class or favorite spec because of people's crying. Hence the "got killed by x class, going to forums" jokes.
