Leveling up through PvP - Thanks <3

[DoctorMog]

Wow they are lifting way more features found in WoW than I originally thought. Great features but features that are not original. I seen it coming when Yoshi-P took over, and I hope they are done well.

PvP wasn't invented by WoW.

Neither was EXP from PvP.

I am refering to you control a pvp related area and you get access to PVE content in that area. I didn't imply WoW invented anything. That game was successfully because it lifted many features found in other games. It goes with the business.

I forsee an exploit in this, but I am glad because I would rather level up fighting players than mobs with zero AI.

However, I am sure most people PvPing will do it at R50 anyways.

Couldn't resist but pointing out that FFXI had content like Conflict, Besieged and Campaign which essentially did the same thing, only without PvP elements. One can argue that they're taking those features from FFXI, only this time they're adding a PvP touch to it this time around.

Would be neat to have PvP specific abilities (could only be obtained via Colosseum Points obtained by winning matches). They would only have an effect on players and could range from

Dirt toss (stupid name but meh)
Blurs the vision of your opponent
Literally makes the opponent's computer screen appear blurry so its hard to move and see what you are doing)

Disorienting Blow
Opponent loses his depth perception
Objects on screen may be larger than they appear (messes with the targets draw distance)

Confusion
Causes target to randomly select spells/abilities
You want to use Skewer II? Well game says you use Speed Surge instead!

etc etc

You would know more than I do about it, since you translated it and can interpret things better than me. So please forgive me if those systems are the more implied systems he is refering to. Just sounds a lot like the controlling company of the pvp match has access to pve related content in that area, very similar to a feature in WoW.

this is so awesome. even for people who don't pvp. pvp'ers and none pvp'ers still benefits together from winning

No worries. I haven't played WoW but did play FFXI so this sort of association comes to me naturally. I guess what I'm trying to say is just because features look/sound similar to other games, it is quite possible the said feature was inspired from something else entirely. A lot of people are more vocal about concerns to how FFXIV is shaping up to look like WoW because a large percentage of players here have played WoW before and can spot similarities because they played said title before.

Someone said this earlier, but let's all not forget that it's pretty damn hard to be unique in this day and age.

I enjoy PvP. Just seems like a nightmare as far as development is concerned. Balancing pvp often affects pve and vice versa. I am assuming we will see pvp related stats on gear when it is introduced.
