PVP - Ideas & Expectations!!

[fmonkey13]

I am all for PVP. As long it is held to Being in certain areas. Like the Gladiator arena or tournaments. Or on a challenge basis. Where you can challenge someone and they can choose to accept or decline. Anything beyond that is a bad idea. Just my opinion.

They should have chocobo jousting!!

They should implement PvP like ANet did with GW 1, skills change for pvp, so if they nerve skills, it's for either pvp or pve, and it's not required for anything, just for cosmetic things like shapeshifting tonics, which you can sell, but won't give you bonusses in any form.

i think this game needs at least one or the other, large scale pve and party missions(cop,wotg) or it needs pvp, it can't be missing both, i'm hoping for both though in game, cause i'd love me some pvp final fantasy style. anytype an all types i'm cool with.

i been wanting any form of battlegrounds in ffxiv, weither pvp or pve or pvpve, i don't care just want it easy to sign up an auto join an auto port us to it, so i can do it all day long or in between events and doing things in game. great thing for any mmo to have.

if i had to chose though ...i'd take large scale pve an party missions/full ls events. only cause i don't think the pvp would be better then most games out either way. but still i'd love some pvp in game.

If I had my say with it, any PvP to EVER be implemented would follow these golden rules:

1. No gear or other such items would be rewarded for PvP based content in any form. I'd be fine with like, a novelty lvl 1 trophy item or something, but under no circumstances do I wanna see gear like in other mmos, where you have to do a bunch of PvP to get the good stuff. Screw that completely.

2. There would be absolutely no forced PvP zones anywhere in the game. The only PvP that should ever be implemented, is a strictly consensual duel style system, if that. No PvP zones, servers, areas, quests, raids, or anything else along those lines.

3. No faction based PvP. I don't wanna ever hear about gridania vs. uldah or anything of that sort. Again, the only PvP this game should ever see is a duel style thing, maybe tournaments at the most, that you set up like the old ballista from FFXI.

4. The devs should NOT focus on balancing classes or skills or w/e else for PvP. They should focus strictly on balancing the mechanics of the game around PvE, and then tack on PvP and make it fit with that as best they can. If it's not perfect, oh well. Again, pretty much like what they did with FFXI PvP. If they did focus on balancing PvP, it would greatly detract from the PvE side of the game, and if people want a PvP focused mmo, there's plenty of other ones they can pick from. It just doesn't fit in with the final fantasy theme though. And it's nice to have an MMO around that caters to PvE players.

So yeah, as long as it follows all that, I wouldn't be opposed to PvP being added... I wouldn't support it either though... And if it broke any of those rules, I'd vote totally against it, so nyah. :P

Exactly, and all pvp content should have the emphasis on team play so that all classes can shine, and SE will never have the need or urge to balance classes for PVP.

I'm for pvp as long as it doesn't result in ganks and such

PvP is just another thing people might play ffxiv for, but with the current client/server problem it'd be slop and it being a FF game i would rather have awesome PvE gameplay and i think this game could survive on that, but i dont think FFxiv could be comparable to WoW's pvp, i was solely PvP in WoW and it was the only thing that kept me playing it and i hope FF could make pvp decent, but i have a feeling we wont see PvP for a long time in this game.

^ fantastic idea. to reward you with marks and other items maybe

I would like to see something like WAR or Rift, where the PvP is objective based and two teams face off against each other to capture the chocobo or something like that.

I'm also for arena PvP etc, as players would enlist into the PvP event.

Whatever they do, I would like it to be something you can queue up to do, and when it's open you can join in, having to run around to find it would be a headache, and thus I would like to port into it.
