PvP Zone/wilderness

[MattDank3eyes]

I am a reletively long time pvp lover in this game and even though I enjoy what pvp has become I think it would be AWESOME if there was a wilderness zone (no need for references here)

Even just an island, random quests maybe a questline but really just with the possibility of being ganked by random teams lol.

Something anything even a mix of eureka and pvp, less large zeros and more small team coordination lol.

I just don't think it would work in this game at all because the PVP is not balanced around the idea of open world PVP combat. If you aren't a DRG/SAM or any of the Tanks you're basically screwed if you get attacked in a 1v1 scenario. Maybe if it was a Siege type mode it could possibly work but now you're talking about an entirely new PVP mode on its own.

I don't understand how you find being ganked fun. I've played games with mandatory open world pvp. Constantly having to look over your shoulder is not fun to me. And no I am not going to go bother other people to do a safety in numbers thing.

It's nothing but stress.

Is that a Runescape reference I see?
You know it would be pretty fun to have an ultra-dangerous area that you have to party up to defend against other players, that can get you good loot.
Also, Death Dot anyone?

EXACTLY.
Pvp isn't and wasn't even unbalanced I've mained ninja for years and do great in pvp lmao.
When the initial changes messed it up bad they stripped everyone's tool kit.
Atm it's at a healthy medium and seems to be growing.
But an all out dangerous and a zone with infamous open pk rules would be legit.also to the prior comments.

It's not about you per say, it's about everyone involved.
Ha king an optional zone for us heathens would not effect your gaming continuities lol.

We could have rare ores or crafting mats or some treasure maps spread across them, doesn't even need a story, it would be a story lol.

Ah, those wilderness treasure trails.
Wearing dragon hide so you don't get frozen by mages, and bringing a bunch of food, sprint and prayer potions, those were the days.
Or just having 20 people crammed on one square, all bursting out to kill that lone dude exploring wildy.

We really need a zone like that here, for all the PvPers to mess around and have fun. FF14 has hadly any PvP modes to begin with, so it would be a great addition.
Atm there's no place for a party of friends to just have fun with PvP. With frontlines, rival wings and feast, if you mess around, you just cause innocent people to lose, which isn't fun at all, its just a downer.

Having an "enter at your own risk" zone is the perfect place to mess around, as there's no guilt attached to it that way.
You and your mates kill some random who walked past, for the lolz? It's fine, that's what the zone is for.

If only there wasn't a recent example of this sort of idea going belly up in another big mmorpg. Only it wasn't a zone, it was whole servers.

Hmmmm if only.
