PvP outside the abyss ?

[Elitper]

i dont have time to learn english grammar XD im to busy xD read about Aion but if you cant pk him its little scary if he cheat you or allways say bad words ;/ you cant kill him ;/ i dont like noobs from l2 :P but you can always pk him and he STFU

Yea, that's why I'm hoping they have an /ignore function.
So much easier to deal with nubs.

I don't really get it. I know that hardcore high end pvp happens in the abyss but what about the lowbie wars? I hope that you can go ganking in x and y area. If portals are only open during certain times then maybe ganking in enemy areas for a certain amount of time before the portal closes?

Well as far as I see it non-limiting fights between players are limited to Elyos vs Asmodeans, which can happen anywhere in the world really, but will benefit players most if done in the Abyss.

From what I gathered, there are also certain quests that encourage players to travel through the portals randomly appearing throughout the non Abyss areas. So you should be able to run into the opposing race several times while questing, grinding or what not, and that should pretty much mean instant PvP wherever you are.

As far as PvP within your own race goes however, I don't believe you will or should be able to freely fight wherever you are, except for special arena like areas maybe. Otherwise, it seems there's a Duel system, which both players have to accept. I'm not sure if there are any penalties for not accepting or simply for challenging, but anyway that's pretty much the only inner Race PvP I can see in Aion.

It's sorta blows for me, coming from the free PvP, with the wonderful option of PK, world of Lineage II, but the concept here is different, and Duals sound way too 'carebear' to me.

So one of the main concerns I have with the PvP side of Aion at the moment is how inner-race conflicts are gonna be solved, since you can't simply resort to the primate way of settling disputes in this case.
Cross-race shadow alliances and other race's alts come to mind, even though not even that's going to be enough in certain non-portal-connected scenarios.
If it does come to the above, I think the RvR concept becomes a bit skewed, so I hope there are mechanisms beyond having to buy several accounts in place to prevent and discourage players from such acts.

Ken did mention that Stronghold economy's going to have a lot to do with the guilds overall charisma, since the race's player masses will ultimately decide if the guild's gonna be netting enough taxes in from holding it, or if they just want to take their business elsewhere.

Let's all slow down a second and think about this...why the hell would you kill your own faction? "but the noob is annoying me! >.<" Well grow up. If you use a FFA system...now the noob can really annoy you, especially if he PLed and is now higher lvl than you. With the Duel system now you get to choose when you want to fight this noob..cause he's going to want to fight you. Now you have an advanage...you can choose your battle. And if you don't want to fight him...just /ignore and *poof* now the noob can't gloat you. Hmmm...I wonder if the /ignore will auto-deny duel request.

Yeah pretty sure Aion is anti PK your own faction, and I'm guessing lowbies will be in zones where portals don't open.. As for the carebear comments, well it's Lineage for the casual/carebear**, that's always been the case.

**I don't endorse this word, gah bleh ><;

Carebear's are cute, i like the pink elephant with the weight and hearts..... I think it's name is Lots of Love...

If I remember correctly some zones like the early beta one called "Death something" was allowing faction pvp. In my opinion it will be like WoW, Alliance zones where you have to hit the person to pvp and as you gradually level territories will be contested(therefore allowing free pvp between both factions)

If it's anything close to WoW the pvp will be great.

I give WoW a lot of credit for making such awesome pvp.

Love a lot.... Get it right.....

Bah I sometimes really hate my wife....

on topic note:
Well I prefer faction PVP over the random FFA, one of the things that apply to me in this game.
I gladly admit I'm to Care bear for FFA, but as far as what I read/seen of Aion I don't think the developers want it to be as "hardcore" as L2 and so on, they seem to aim more of a middle ground
