PvP & MMORPG's: Balance

[RAXX]

I personally think that PvP is something that should be last on the list to implement however having a accept/decline system could still would work and it would still be fair because a lot of things can factor the win of the battle such as physical level and how you have built your skills from other jobs. I think that as fair as it gets when it comes to PvP. And I also think that PvP should be more something for end gamers and not really for the lowlvls or midlvls but give them the option anyway.

at this moment, there's a lot of imbalanced between classes

if enable PvP now, it will anger more than half of players when they get kill

I honestly think making pvp into a "Sport" where people get preset skills (or perhaps an alternate skill tree to level up) and armor has no bearing on it(heck maybe give uniforms or something) would add a form of pvp people could be happy using without a lot of the traditonal problems with pvp.

plus gladitorial arenas i guess.

Having some kind of PvP would be nice, if only to allows us to test Stats/Weapons/Gear/etc so we know how everything really works. Getting some set formulas for damage, accuracy, WS damage, elemental attribute effects, etc...this would be a good thing. As far as the actual fighting goes. I would be up for some Ballista or Brenner. Not something I would do all the time, but it was fun when I did. (I really hope they bring Pankration to FFXIV...hehe.)

Brenner and Balista were fun, we did a couple of runs as an LS group,
putting the rdm vs the blm or drg v sam woudl have been no fun if gear,weapon and job stats had no effect!

if you decide to make your conj a healer/DOT'r and someone else makes their conj a healer/nuker in a PVP situation it should be down to the players skill to win the battle.

also if Maat had of had the same stats as me it would not of been so great to have beat him!

Does PvP have to mean this person is gonna fight this person till their hp hits 0...
Isnt it true that PvP can also mean this player will challenge this player to a game of cards.
Final Fantasy isnt popular for killing each other, but they have many differant card games.

Some people like to kill other players, cause it creates more of a challenge than the AI of the mobs. But you cant expect to get everything YOU want in any MMO. Thats why we have so many differant types of MMO's in the market. FF is popular for PvE and i hope it stays that way.

In many of my other posts, as i quote, We will just have to Wait and See what happens.

I would approve of PVP only if it was instanced / arena / event type of pvp. Having open world pvp would just make things so difficult. I mean imagine your group fighting an NM and here comes a rival ls and they wipe you out, that would just get frustrating after awhile.
