Open world PvP Zone

[Shirolumi]

I still have hope for open world pvp too, single instanced zone or otherwise. At least a dev response would be nice considering how long this thread has become.

I have hope! This would be so much fun. The FATES idea is great. Having fun buffs around the area too. Consumables on the ground to make things interesting. Hell, even the ability to build and defend towers or something would be great. Have all the DC's in some kind of territory war and each DC gets a reward based on where they stood. Special glams and mounts for gaining rep/chieves in the area or something.

The potential is limitless and could be repeatable content.

Where have you heard this? Last I heard was when they discussed it at vegas fan fest during the audience Q&A they said they had tested world pvp but had no plans to implement it...

I think I was talking in general about the forums. They did do a test on some form of openworld pvp that they spoke very little about at the last fanfest. But nothing has been said since. I'll keep dreaming for now.

This would be amazing....

This would be amazing....

It would. And it would not interfere with others gameplay. I wish they would just do it already. The lack of feedback to this page, and the test they mentioned brought me to think that they may have something in the works. I just don't know anymore. But my hope is still there.

I would really like an open world PvP zone as well.

I'm still unsure how it would be implemented now that PvE and PvP are two separate systems. If you're out in the open world doing your MSQ or whatever, do you have your PvP kit or PvE kit? I feel like the game would be a lot less interesting on the PvE side if you were forced into the PvP kits, and it'd feel really awkward if you have your regular PvE kit by default and got switched into it if you...got ganked or something.

this world pvp zone being the only zone where you can use your pve kit to pvp would be a great compromise to the consensus of "3.x was the best, every other iteration of pvp will never compare" since people just want the button bloat for some reason, it would be fun, and fun is always the main goal of any world pvp

Once you 'sign up' the pvp move set would come into play. And you wouldn't be able to touch anyone outside of the 'que' also, this is only the case if you have over people using the same zone. We would like our own zone. Something like Eureka.

A zone like Kholusia would be neat. Open space for big fights, an upper tier, and places to run into and hide. Anemos is also a good enviorment for how expansive and tight the wood work is. Bonus points for death ledges.

Reminds me of Aion actually which had some beautiful scenery for open world pvp.
