PVP gear

[Valmonte]

Materia earned though PvP could be affixed to gear to give it certain stats when fighting other players. thus the ability to make any piece of gear PvP gear.

no need to separate gear based on what you'll be doing, everybody will have access to all gear in the game, plus if a balance issue ever comes up a gear or gear set doesn't get nerfed for both sides of the playing field.

Though i agree with the fact of in wow that getting the lower tier of PVP gear helped ppl get into PVE faster, i hope they design it so that as yoshi-p said, PVP wont impact PVE(like it did in wow).

He means "you won't be able to go around the world and kill people who don't want to PvP.' Even if PvP was just a minigame with no reward, it would have an (albeit trivial) effect because people playing it wouldn't be available to do PvE with. Letting people earn gear doesn't really have a negative impact except for the occasional egotistical moron who thinks he must be awesome because he got something from PvP. But these kinds of people are a problem whether or not PvP exists.

The rewards just need to be balanced carefully. If this was the Tanaka team, I'd be kind of fearful of it. But This is Yoshi-P, whom has prior experience with PvP (unlike the former who had never played an MMO before making FFXI), so I'm pretty confident it can be done right.

PVP gear will only work in pvp cause it will have pvp only stats and PVE gear will only be good in PVE cause it will have PVE only stats so using PVE gear or PVP gear in the situation they not called for is gonna gimp you.

We don't know anything about the rewards (if any) yet. You don't know that the gear in the game is going to have PvE and/or PvP only stats on them. In the current conversation, it is being argued that doing this is not necessary as long as proper balance is achieved.

That doesn't make your comments entirely irrelevant, but I think that's what you were trying to say. Yes, PvP activities and PvE activities will demand somewhat different stat-sets from the players, but that doesn't mean that the gear you've earned in PvE will be useless for PvP or vice versa- it only means they might not be the best- but you need SOMETHING to start with if you're doing either one for the first time.

The PDF's clearly state there will be pvp only gear and skills and such.

Two PvP venues, Coliseum and Frontlines, to be released after version 2.0. Unique zones to be created so
as not to affect non-participating players. Release of PvP-specific abilities, gear, and ranking.

I'm tired of quoting this every time people get up and arms over pve/pvp gear

From the original pdf's this one was always the most interesting to me cause it gave hints to a lot of things people did not see coming. Great Labyrinth of Bahamut.

How much inventory space do you think we will have? Not as much as we had..
That is something we have to take into consideration. Most of us already don't have enough room to hold the stuff required for our jobs.. Being all 50 in dom/dow and needing full gear sets for each of them, is more than tedious.
Not to mention crafting items.. More gear sets to take up more room? I'd prefer not.
I hope they take that into consideration.
