PvP outside the abyss ?

[Calindor]

yeah, u can attack anywhere, its not a flag sytem like WoW even if ur in the enemies territory. Its just u can only get there through those portals.

And i think u can buy gear with pvp points from NPC's

[Nyteraven]

what calindor says is true lol believe it! worshp it!! no more forcing an opponent to flag to kill him!! rawww

[SoraNashimi]

Sounds epic, but some still say best gear can be gained from PVP "Like WoW" that I still dont think is true cause WoW balanced their system, the gear gained in PvP was best for PVP and you would have less an advantage in PVE with it and Vice Versa like with End game gear like Tier 6 would get owned in PVP by a full Season 3 glad geared person but would do alot better than the PVP geared person in raids and such (These are the two top Gears in WoW that I have stated for comparison, Glad PVP Tier 6 is raid). So is it not possible that the gear gained from PVP be only "Best" for pvp and Vice versa in what I stated above? If thats not the case then not so sure how the games gona be PVPVE if they are pretty much forcing you to get best gear by Pvp >.>

[Calindor]

I dearly hope they wont require different sets of gear or builds between PvP and PvE, and I dont think that's the case since you cannot alter your basic stats (str, con/stamina, dex/agility, etc...)

"Hey we got PvE, its super happy fun time, come play our game (week later) oh no its mostly PvP for the rest of the game and you can get PK'd minding your own business, but might as well keep playing since you already started and keep paying us right?........please?"

What baffles me is why they think this type of bull will actually work. Its like a comedy skit where they give you something you wanted then try and switch it out real fast with something completely different and hope you won't notice. PvP'ers don't like it because they have people running around on their side who are just not wanting to PvP so whether they are good at it or not they just aren't going to care, and PvE'ers get aggrevated because their quests and mob kills are getting screwed up my PK'ers.

Will be really interesting to see how this game is received in a western market on release. It is already successful elsewhere but I hope they don't plan on making big bucks converting the massive amount of PvE'ers to PvP'ers or some such. I like PvP'ing and frankly I would hate to have to fight alongside someone who is there just dreading the hell out of it and just want to PvE. Not exactly the mindset of someone who is going to give it their all.

In other news, this thread is a year and a half old.

Please let it be true. The one thing I can't forgive WAR is the "WAR is Everywhere" bs - meaning inside tight PvP lakes there may, sometimes, be 2 zergs zerging it out and questing inside the enemy side of the zone is a) non-existent because of no quests, b) discouraged due to a small obstacle like, oh I don't know, A FREAKING MOUNTAIN RANGE IN THE WAY1111



Please, please more areas like Stranglethorn Vale. That was the most fun I ever had in an MMO.

EDIT: wait a sec, surely the quote suggests world PvP..? There must be PvP servers, right....? RIGHT??

Didnt WAR have pvp servers?

Edit to answer your edit: Dont think theres dedicated pvp servers. You can pvp on all of them.

I didnt read the whole thing but for those people wondering if there is PvP outside Abyss i can confirm that i was ganged in lvl 20+ areas multiple times (Chinese Aion)

As for fighting your own faction, you can either dual 1vs1 anywhere or mass PvP in the arena which is located in the main city.

lol so great. Either you can make a new thread and get yelled at for not using the search function or use threads already up and get yelled at for necroing. Hypocrisy is fun, easy too.

FYI reason I replied in it is because it was linked in a newer thread. You may have read it before.

Nobody is going to be upset with you if you start a new thread instead of necroing one that is a year and a half old.

Thread necros are very disruptive.

Currently WAR EU has 1 PVP server, which kind of sucks for a PVP centric game.

Thanks for you answer, I like what I'm hearing

Sadly, you're wrong... I can see him getting flamed hard for making a new thread on this topic.


Anyways, I'm sure all the info this thread was discussing, has been answered recently.. You can PVE, and PVP. Higher level PVE will basicly be taking place in the abyse fighting the balner(I know that's spelt wrong lol) With risk of getting attacked. If you read the lore, you'd know that's fine.. Yelling at a PVPer for wanting to pvp is stupid, calling a PVEer a carebear is stupid aswell.. But, this game IS focused on the abyse pvp, it is a game based on a war between two different factions, and I do believe it was confirmed somewhere, that the best gear, is abtained through AP(Abyse points) That you get for pvping the other faction. If you don't want to pvp, watch the skies in the abyse, and run if you see a enemy.

Calling a pve'er a care-bear for wanting to be able to go wherever he wants without threat of pvp in a pvp-focused game is completely fine imo.
