PvP

[ulti_19]

I know a tiny portion of the games total population actually PvP's in this game. This thread is to discuss PvP for those of us who actually play it and would like to spend most of our endgame fighting other players, because that's just what we do. I for one think there is sooooooo much potential in this game to deliver the best PvP and RvR when they add Front Lines.

What would you like changed about the PvP system, and what would you like added?

I for one have no problem with sleep, there are ways to counter it, and easily beat a team of sleep spammers if your team is good enough.

I would love an addition for a full party of 8 to fight in the arena as it will give more options for strategy than to just kill the one healer and black mage to go for a win. More options means more skill will win, making it a better system.

Allow one on one fights, excluding the healing class if necessary. If you want to do one on one it will or should be a fighting class. Healers will still be able to compete in team fights as they want, no problem, but it gives us 1 on 1 lovers to test our skills alone.

I would also suggest adding Ilvl 80 weapons for people who reach rank 20 in PvP. Because as it currently is, the grind from 24-30 is sooooo long and tedious that it rewards too little in the amount of time spent grinding. You want your players to be motivated and keep on playing your game, thus giving you more subs and more money.

I however like how long it takes to achieve level 30 in PvP, it should take a long time to reach the maximum level, and it's a great feeling when you get the ilvl90 PvP gear, it is very good statwise, even when used in PvE.

Not much is known about Front Lines but if it is anything like what many think it is, that will be great. An open world where you can be a target at anytime. I would suggest letting players be geared with their PvE and PvP gear in this world, and not exclude any. although PvP gear will still have the bonus of morale of course, I would translate it into the Front Line map.

Don't do what Guild Wars did. That game in RvR is a zergfest, with no solid community. I played there for the first 2 years since release and there are some flaws that totally put me off. Let enemy names be clear, you want to get to know the RvR community, this builds character in a game and makes it more fun for the community. Allow all players of all levels in the map. Yes 'noobs' will be owned but that's what is fun if the map is well thought out. I played a game where you can be a level 1 and enter the 'warzone' and it is simply thrilling. It makes you want to level up to compete at the same pace as higher level players to help defend your side. It is also fun to defend weaker players against gankers etc.

Give more rewards for PvP and Front Lines in general. As well make a leader board of who killed the most in a given week, most damage, most damaged healed, most forts captured, etc. this will be fun and give the community a sense of great competition. Also let us ride chocobo's in this map, make it massive and make it dangerous and beautiful at the same time. allowing for exploration but also running into enemy players at any corner.

Everyone complains about not enough content, because let's face it no amount of PvE content can compare to open sandbox PvP content where the players make their own fun. Giving this well to the community will ensure a longer retention and for sure give players who are hard core PvE something to do while waiting for patches. You can kill a monster 100 times and he will fight you the exact same way that 100 times. But players learn and change and fighting each other is, at least for me, far more satisfying than fighting creatures, but only if the system is greatly implemented within the game.

That's my two cents
