Duels

[Rannie]

I have a question for you guys. Why think that everyone who is against PVP sucks at it. I for one have never had any real desire to do any PVP. I myself had never said it shouldn't be in the game just against the fact of open world dueling (which is open world pvp that you have the ability to decline). I don't care if they have pvp in certain areas for the people who want it. Also if they do do the open world dueling then I'll agree with certain guidelines.

Just because a person is against the idea of something doesn't equate to them being bad at it. Many people have many different reasons for why they don't do it or don't like it. Respect it please.

Because all the games that I have played with PvP in them the people who was against adding new PvP features or anything of the sort that had to do with PvP sucked bad. You would convince them to come PvP with you and they would be so terrible they would flat out quit and give up on even trying to get better and enjoy the system. Then they come on some forums and spew forth crap about why they don't like it etc etc.

Also you aren't against PvP , you are against a certain form of PvP and that is fine, you are entitled to you opinion and you have something that backs up why you dislike it. Though like I said before they already said it ain't going to happen, so no point talking about "What if".

understandable but when people start generalizing some people will get offended so that's why I asked =)

Open world PvP which you don't have to participate in DOES NOT AFFECT YOU though. All it does is add a variety of landscapes for people to PvP in. For those that want it.

Basically you're saying you want to ruin everyone else's fun for no reason.

Wow, 14 pages of useless arguments and a simple solution is obvious:
1. Open world PvP (optional in towns and other crowded places)
2. Only if both players agree to!
3. Ability to port to PvP arena at any time (for privacy or avoiding crowded places like towns etc.)
4. Ability to /ignorePvP - to avoid PvP request spamers.
5. Ability to /hideduels - makes duelists invisible to you, if there are bunch of them in a crowded place ruining your FPS.

Few simple things to make everyone happy. If both the duelists and the players around them have an option to avoid each other with a press of a button, what can they complain about?

Well...as I said above I don't think that is the case for everyone...just some. I say this because I used to be that way myself lol. >.> Before I actually tried PVP I would say it sucks because I was afraid I would be horrible at it.

After trying it I discovered I was actually pretty good at it (not bragging at all sorry I just don't know how else to word it) so I stopped saying that after trying it and actually enjoying it. I know a lot of people who were the same way...well, they tried it...didn't do too good, and said it sucks. Again, I never said everyone haha...there will always be different reasons for everyone

I'm going to be honest. I've never done pvp. Why because it doesn't interest me enough to go oh my god I have to go do this. I'm honestly playing this game for the storyline it had as well as the ls I'm in and still hoping Thancred dies... but that's another story....

PvP is great for adding replay value if done right. Adding that element of unpredictability can keep you coming back for a good while, and really helps fill those periods where you're grinding if only to have something to do rather than wanting to accomplish anything. Most people I've spoken to who are fans of that kind of competition have said they felt similar before really trying it out, regardless of what game they were playing at the time. So I'd at least give it a fair shot. You might end up liking it.

guess what. you have the honor of being terrible at it along with everyone else in the game a the same time

nobody is going to know what to do, other than apply pvm skills to pvp, at first. we'll all be noobs in XIV pvp when it comes out. it's all a matter of putting yourself out there to look a little silly at first, in return for a whole new epic journey in your gaming goals. hopefully making new friends and having a lot of fun while learning with the rest of us.

some people are so afraid of looking silly, they avoid anything with a risk attached to it. this applies to real life, and games as well, we're all just people with faults. Most of us looking forward to pvp, have pushed thru that fear at some time or another, and know what the rewards can be on the other side. we just want to share it with the rest of you.

it's no fun unless there's others to play with, so I'm hoping that the people opposed to it, might take an open mind at some point, and give it a try.

pvp/duels will never be everything that's important in the game, it's just another element to make the game more dynamic, and exciting.
