Implementing a PK(PvP) Server

[YukiMochi]

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.

Only the end content is the " raid "

I'm sad to boredom

Game isn't made for it.

Gathering would be impossible, as would leveling alt classes outside of dungeon spam, and the server would die very quickly.

No.

Thanks tho.

Why would you say never.. seems very short sighted. YP talked about PVP in a interview once saying if there was enough demand for this they could consider it, its up to the players really and frankly you dont seem very supportive or sympathetic but meh its the forums.

Even as a PVP regular, I'd loathe the idea. I have too many friends who don't PVP I'd have to leave behind in order to transfer, and I don't think I could stomach leveling another alt through the MSQ--especially a DPS.

Saying what is or isn't Final Fantasy is very short-sighted. FFXIV already broke from the gameplay mold by becoming an MMO instead of a single-player, turn-based RPG and changing its storytelling style with different cutscenes and much more "mundane" content to allow it to function as an MMO. Just because you don't enjoy a game mode doesn't mean that nobody should be able to enjoy it.

Disagree. I prefer current PvP like Seal Rock than making server that the purpose is to make salty world.

EDIT: I see you're japanese person. Why don't try transfer to JP data center and PvP at there?

Or an optional open world PK field that everyone can go to without queues. I know people wouldn't like it but they can put gathering nodes there too. If DoL classes want to gather there then they'd have to recruit people to guard them or something (or they can just use stealth, but put a buff timer to it so it won't get abused). I'm assuming it'll just be a waste of development time tho coz most FFXIV players won't even go there coz of the PK.

I dont think a PK server would work, to many features like gathering, leveling alts, Leves and FATES would be ruined, since it takes a max level player to ruin your day. You could say the people that join these servers know what they are getting themself into, but the real question would be: Will there be enough players to sustain the PK server?

As many I do think PvP has a place in this game and I love big siege warfare PvP games. So instead of asking for PK, why dont we keep asking them to fix their current PvP issues:

- Remove the GC restriction (Lore can go in the trashbin)
- Stop making older PvP modes irrelevant
- Add maps like Wiintergrasp from World of Warcraft or the maps from Guild Wars 2.
- Add different modes like Last Man Standing or Capture the flag
- Add one zone that works like PvP maps from GW2. A map with castles where players can group up and keep it or defend it, no resets (unless maintaince).
- Frontlines should be accessible at level 10 and players that are low level will be boosted to level 60.

PvP can be fun (saying this as a player that used to dislike PvP, but realy love it now), but the game has two MAJOR issues: The Queue takes ages and most PvP maps have one objective, touch a stone thingy and defend it/ or take it from another group.


PS: To the people that say Lore would not allow it, Lore can be changed and lets be honest when its about gameplay or lore in a mmorpg, I am willing to give gameplay a bigger say.
