Implementing a PK(PvP) Server

[Misha_Snow]

No.

Final Fantasy has always been about groups of people teaming up to save the world from an evil force - it has never been about players killing each other in them. This is why PvP in this game is basic and separate from the main game, as it is not the game's focus. If you are wanting to fight other players and kill them in the game, then you are playing the wrong game I'm afraid, as FFXIV will never allow that.

Final fantasy has always been about groups of people teaming up to grind tomestones that become obsolete every 0.2 versions of the game. I think adding a PVP map that contains only daily/weekly quests that reward wolf marks and pvp potions would be interesting, this way the people that enjoy the PVE don't miss anything.

No. That's the ultimate way of abuse, and I sw that on other games. Ruins everything and is not fun (not fun for the victim, because the attacker is happy ruining all). High level trolling people by kiling them? No thanks. This games is not for that.

Example:
"Are you waiting for a node to spawn and gather it? Oh, would be a pity if I kill you when pop..."

Player kill will cause only problems. What about the poeple like me who don't want be attacked by other while is playing alone on my things? Or the low level newies being abused by others? Player kill is a stupid way of fuck everyone fun. YOu only need few trolls to turn all into a shit.

PvP is boring, in every game.

It can be fun when your team dont make bots look intelligent.

I wouldn't be opposed to it if it was going to be popular among a decent number of players. I do see it as difficult to implement within the framework of the narrative. All PvP in FF14 is effectively Wargames between the GCs and not to the death. Infact the whole point of the Frontlines is effectively creating a form of tournament to decide issues to avoid military tension and conflict between the City States.

I've also very rarely seen open world PvP work outside games revolving around PvP. The core issue is it tends to supress PvE activities like gathering because of the interference involved and usually ends up just being high level people going around ganking lower level ones. It gets worse if the factions aren't balanced in player numbers, potentially making areas of the game impossible to play for players of a weaker faction.

I hold against this statement - The PvP in some MMO's are pretty amazing.

[SpiritMuse]

It is often very realistic opinion
Giving up is not in !


I was affected............
Just a wonderful than the opinion of the Japanese

I made ​​a thread in Japan

We did not have opinion that would be helpful　　
I do not have to give up if in one place global server

Problem is very serious , which would avoid the map

There is no need to go other than the housing area and the city　I think it is disgusting!!!!!!!!
So I tried to propose

I'm sorry, you are hard to understand, but if I read it right then you want the open world pvp because there is no reason to go outside the cities? Because it would make people go out there for the chance to fight each other? But that is not going to happen. This is a game that has very little pvp and so it attracts a lot of people who don't care about pvp or even just hate it and would not be interested. If you had open world pvp zones, these people would never go there. People would stay in cities and other safe zones even more than they already do. They would certainly not transfer to a PK server.

[Shurrikhan]

With our PvP (or quite simply our class/job arsenals of abilities) I honestly have zero interest. At best I'd avoid it as much as possible.

What's more, even if SE were to open a PvP server, I don't think there's quite enough PvP interest in this game in general to populate it, especially if it require transfers rather than (e.g. seasonal) character duplication.

[Rikku1987]

While i really like PVP in general, id say no cause PVP is awful in every MMOrpg. Slow clunky and boring.

[Voltyblast]

Even if I'd like to have a pvp map in general, I doubt that this game fits for it since the pvp is probably far too slow and really not that "dynamic", with also having far too few players overall (I already have to wait 10 to 20 minutes for a feast match!).

Besides we'd get the usual "it can be abused" topic so I'd just scrap it all together.

PS: but how about a duel option at least?
