[Fanfest] Open World PvP

[oLLiCS]

...

To use a sports metaphor, there's a reason you can't just have 10 people on your basketball team. It would be stupidly unfair! What, will the others guys show up with 15 for the next game? This is "open world PvP", it's not a fair fight. People will seek whatever advantage they can, be it lowbie slaughtering or 2 on 1 fights just because that's the easiest way to "win." And winning is what's important to overly competitive types.

True but imagine a guy who got beat by a group of 10 shows up with his whole FC to take revenge and the others come back with their FC too. Just thinking of a crowd of 100 ppl battling is awesome ^^ (and somewhere on the hill a solo player is eating popcorn)

More options is always better in my opinion and I don't want to hear any BS about 'But muh PvE is worse because they spent time on PvP'. If you could set your status to 'PvP' which enables a duel request or something of the sort then it means that you have to go out your way to enable PvP meaning that anybody who isn't complicit will engage in PvP by accident. In that case, sure!

No, open world PVP will just bring more toxic to this community.

FFXIV should add more party content, like the job quest & leveling party in FFXIV 1.2x/FFXI

I played WOW before, I just hate it now
I've made a lot of friends in FFXIV 1.2x, the FFXIV 1.2x community is the best I've ever seen, I really miss it,
Yoshi, please, bring back the real FF MMO

Just create one zone with pvp daily questing, event, and such.

FFXIV and FFXI are games that I always felt a strong sense of community, team building, friendship, and people working together towards a common goal. An adventure, if you will. Open world PVP destroys that feeling for me as I don't see the motivation. It would just bring in too much unwanted toxic "git gud" players. There are better games suited for PvP.

FFXIV1.2x had the minimum budget,
but we didn't want to leave that game, (that means money to SE)
because playing with others, making new friends every day, are fun!

I know Yoshi had put a lot of money in the 2.0/3.0 CG movies, one time single play content/new DF dungeons for tomes/voice acting etc
but those things lack the longevity, they waste a lot of development resources
once people got bored of this & leave, no budget for the new fancy stuff, then the game will reach the dead end

i'm totally AGAINST open world PVP, for me ffxiv is a pve game.

No thank you. If they added open world PvP on all servers then that is when I quit the game. I went through that with WOW and don't care to do it again. Keep PVP in instances like it is.

[Mirakumi]

They could make a zone that is purely PVP similar to how WoW accidently made South Shore a PVP battleground. (I hope you don't cringe to Wow but here we go) If anyone played Vanilla WoW South Shore battles were pretty epic back in the day. So maybe if SE put in a zone where PVP players could roam. Indication given that you are entering such a place and then quests like in the area that can give daily bonus to pvp points.

Fates can spawn that reward PVP points and then have people brawl out while trying to get those points.

I honestly have never NOT even once done FFXIV pvp but I'm throwing some ideas out there so that the other half of the community that does has some type of safe haven.

I'd welcome open world PvP everywhere in the game, just like in TERA, you send a challenge to a player and if accepted the battle begins, no need for a new area exclusive for this, even though they'd look like criminals battling all over Eorzea!...

Not that I would make use of the feature because I like PvP roulette better and wherever it takes me, too bad the Twin Adders suck so much, it'll take years before I see those PvP mounts!...
