All those tittles sure seem ver call of dookie or battlefieldish in name to me. I am thinking some more feral times and might and magicish names would be alot more appropriate.

On the subjust of liking or disliking PvP....well I have never played an MMO that PvP didn't ruin the game. Every good PvE ability will get horribly nerfed when they are complained about and the PvP fans blast the forums with complaints.

Thats why pvp will have it's on skill set and also you must have not played enough pvp most of these types are common in pvp <.<

If they spells/abilities work different or are set up different in PvP seperately in PvE so that they are adjusted and worked seperatelt, then I am all for it.

as far as you other comment about my PvP experience, I am not sure what your getting at. Explain that for me if you would.

hmm i suck at pvp though , i hope it won't be high pride people's exclusive content.
" gtfo noob "
i hated those in WoW..
to be honest i even think PvP is unnecessary in this game..
just making bad atmosphere (in the game )
well i could enjoy Free For All though , there will be filled with players who hangs with friends and ls members

lets keep in mind that anything large scale will be 2.0 since we cant see more the 40 people on screen at a time, lol

I just hope that the "frontlines" will be like DAoC RvR. No more arena bulls**t like WoW and such. PvP in MMOs isn't supposed to be like Quake 3...

And well since Yoshida-san was an avid DAoC players, he knows what's good PvP is

The problem with PvP in XI, was that there was no way of bringing together people who wanted to PvP. If it had some sort of queue system like WoW, where you could do other stuff and then warp to the battle when enough people are in the queue, I think more people would have done it.

If they want to do PvP in this game, they need to make sure it's easy to find other people to PvP against. And they need to make sure I don't have to wait around for people to show up. I should be able to do other stuff while I wait. If they do cross-server PvP with a queue system, I think there will be a lot more participants than XI.

Wasn't the only issue on XI... the game was just slow paced and PvP wasn't fun enough to keep doing it often. From time to time with friends, yeah, it was amazing. But alone among random people ? Nope.

There was nothing to earn either...

If XI PvP had a ranking system, where top rankers would get an equivalent of Merits points (basically what we had in DAoC with Realm Rank), then believe me that more players would PvP, no matter how annoying it was to get there.

Sad to say, but nowadays, players won't do something in MMOs unless there is a reward. Look what happened to Pankration on XI. Nothing to win? It died.

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

even barring all the issues XI pvp had, the main issue is that you could never find anyone to do it with. I would have done it just for fun if I could ever find someone else to play against. If the game automatically put together all the people who suddenly had the urge to PvP, I probably would have at least got to do a few battles here and there. I'm sure XI had a decent amount of people who like the PvP, the problem was just getting them together in the same place and time.
