PVP ~ Coliseum

[Nicodemus]

Honestly I could really get behind a coliseum. I've never been much behind pvp but I missed some aspects of it's integration in FFXI. A location where you can voluntarily go and register - maybe even that allows you to leave until your battle is ready and teleports you back, would be right up my alley.

Yeah that would be awesome to continue on doing questing or leveling, i don't think i would want to be warp automatically, incase something else came up that i would rather do but, yeah if they would give you like a 5 minute warning to and give you the option to teleport now, or even if they just gave you time updates and then made a Aetheryte Crystal at the coliseum that you would warp back to using anima. Hopefully like (1) anima or something.

This will probably get overlooked, but should be in every game:

Open PvP no restrictions (all servers)
NPCs should be attackable

Anyway, now that I've got that out there, something more within the scope of an FF MMO:

The best kind of PvP is party or raid PvP. Solo PvP is just plain silly, and shouldn't even be an option. What would be cool is if they did PvP events that would temporarily give you an advantage in PvE. Like perhaps a scenario where you have to fight to control an area, and the winning city gets +10% attack or something for a day or week.

They implement PVP in any fashion, with 4% of the players interested, this game is done. That will be the end of new classes completely, because they will not have the ability to balance everything under the crapstorm of complaints that would erupt.

Ok ppl talk but if thay add jump it would make the game more like WoW? but if PvP is added they dont?

[Malakii]

Correct me if i am wrong becken but PvP is in alot of games, diablo, everquest, dota, Dark age of Camelot and so on... So yeah i don't think that makes it more like wow i think it just brings to the point that people love to versus other players to see how well their char is. Yes i know it's in wow but alot of other rpg's/mmorpg have pvp also. The few i name are decent recognized amost gaming and gamers. Now there is only a couple that come to my mind with the most popular one of them being WoW that actually features the annoying jump feature. Now i think jump can be usefull and not annoying if you don't have younger gamers sitting there hitting it every few seconds, but since FFXIV wasn't built on the ability to jump then there is no need for the function. Once again i would like to state that this post is not about any of this in general, or what people complain about or don't. This is for pvp event's/games that you would some time in the near future once the bugs get worked out. Some please try to keep comments goal orientated instead of streching out side the boundaries.

Thank you, Sincerely Malakii

@ Alexis Hmm, this intrigues me as how they would not be able to balance it since other games have had pvp, made expansion and then came out with other jobs and balanced it again. Please if you wouldn't mind Elebrate, or just stay on the subject of what you would like to see in FFXIV as for PVP/EVENTS. Addition of PVP to this game will not ruin it, and the way we are talking about it is it not mandatory to even do, only if you want. Also of alot of complaints erupted out, these players should be patient for the upcoming patches as we all can see they SE is well aware of it faults, and like to take our input, and they defiently work their ass off for us in this game. So i think everything will be fine.
