    Suggestions (PVP): Keep Raids, PVP titles, kill chat messages, PVP Mounts etc.?

    Yoshi P. stated that he had played Dark Age of Camelot many years ago and enjoyed the PVP. (it offers one of the best PVP systems out there).

    KEEP RAID MAP
    I Also would like to see Keep Raids in FFXIV.
    Maybe as an example a PVP battle MAP of DAOC, where you can see 3 different towers which can be destroyed or captured. and in the middle of the map there is a keep which can be captured as well. The NPC Lord of that keep has to be defeated in order to receive it.

    (on the left: tower, on the right: Middle Keep)






    Catapults and rams could be baught at the teleportet keep. Rams and Catapults should be destroyable, too.

    It reminds me of the original "A Realm Reborn PVP Concept Art" of Final Fantasy XIV which showed a huge middle keep which is being attacked by two different factions by using catapults etc:


    To guarantee no longer waiting queues, Carteneau shouldnt be split into an other category within the duty finder. Moreover it should work like a "PVP Roulette Mode".


    In Final Fantasy XIV you can reach different titles by ranking up at your grand company.
    which you can see here: http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Grand_Company_Ranks


    PVP RANK TITLES
    What i personally would like to see which PVP rank the enemy player has. (gloryness^)

    this is how it looked like in DAOC (Race - pvp title/rank - German):



    Kill CHAT MESSAGES
    What else i think is quiet nice that you can see who gets killed by which player, from which faction he was and where your faction member got killed at (in Cartenau it could be something like "Tidus got killed in Helidrome by Kimahri" :
    (this is just a stretched chat window here)


    When someone of your faction gets killed you receive a message in the battle chat such as "Tidus was killed at marketplace by Cloud Lionheart"
    or
    "Quichy Sturmbruch was killed at Heliodrome by Wakaba Lungberg"

    While the first message is green colored and the second is colored in red it indicates from which faction the player is who killed the member of your faction. Kill messages are only shown to you when someone of your faction died. If no one was involved and he died because of falling down a mountain the message is just something like "Tidues died at Helidrome"
    So if you are part of the Iternal Flames you would only see kill messages when somone of Ul'dah gets killed.

    It also can give you a hint that there have to be many limsa players at Helidrome, when there are lots of red kill messages.





    a small summary what i'd like to see:
    - pvp Rank titles
    - kill messages in battle chat (XY was killed by ....) in the color of the faction
    - show name of targeted enemy player in chat log



    why i think these changes would be cool? It would be a great way to make active PVP players less anonymous and as a consequence more "famous". in DAOC there have been players who totally stood out to the rest, known for being experienced and dangerous pvp players.

    it can be someone you are looking up to. Second it implements a tactical feature to pvp, especially concerning these kill messages. While you are unable to see where these players are directly located you can have an idea where they are if many people get killed.


    What do you think about these suggestions?
