What about an Eureka-like instanced pvp zone?

[Ath192]

It should be balanced as if it were CC, in zones where PvP is global in other games unless there is some sort of big objective there’s usually just some skirmishes going around. And either way if a Zerg happens people need to kill or be killed quickly. I think frontline has huge defensive modifiers if I’m not mistaken.

Idk about the idea but at this point anything new is welcome. Just not another crappy corridor dungeon lol.

I feel like if they ever do like a large scale pvp instance that behaves like Eureka or Bozja then the game mode should be capture the flag, and it should be treated suuuper casually. Like players can be instantly rewarded small amounts of wolf marks, and series exp for kills, and flag captures, and then like every so often both team's score gets compiled, and give players bonus rewards if they are on the winning team.

You know what, sure. I'm not sure that's exactly what the game needs, but an open world pvp zone could be cool to have in XIV. There's nothing quite like it atm.

How, for balancing.. frankly I have 0 idea how it would work. But the idea has merit, I believe.

Personally, I think this idea is marketed to the complete wrong playerbase. Honestly, world PvP needs to come back to Wow more than FFXIV.

I'd rather do ATMAs on OG drop rates than this.

The og drop rate Atmas made me quit the game back in the day. My buddy got all of his super quick, and I was a week in and only had one. Whoever decided the drop rate back then deserves to be unemployed.

Oh god, not another streamer thread.

Oh, I know. I was there, and on PS3 no less.

Let that tell you how much I dislike this idea.

While an instanced PvP zone looks like it could work on paper, there is one big reason why it won't actually work: MNK exists.

MNK specialises in killing a single target, in fact, they're almost guaranteed to kill someone every 75s. FFA PvP will just be a bunch of MNKs roaming around killing people and vying for the top spot.

I wouldn't agree here. I did make it to crystal and diamond in several PvP seasons as a NIN and had my fair share of duels with MNKs and they were under most circumstances unable to kill me, although I absolutely hate meteo dive. Plus, in an open zone PVP map this literally doesn't matter because most people roam in groups preying on people so the chance of a 1 on 1 occurring is relatively low unless they put in solo quests in as AION did, which btw, was hilarious because yes, I did get gang banged several times trying to complete the dumb quests but making it alive to the destinations did give me a thrill.

And realistically that is how PVP is, each class has advantages and disadvantages and you can find yourself in any situation at any given moment so I don't think this is a good argument against. Regardless I'm not saying this needs to happen but I am saying its definitely more interesting than what is actually happening in the game lately, which is nothing.
