PvP: How much is enough?

[Calindor]

WoW and most faction based games fail in that aspect of open world PvP ganking, because:
A. when you die, you get your corpse and start in the same spot.
B. a quest based game limits your options of where to go in the region.
C. you dont really know your enemies....they just have a red name.


I breath PvP. If I see any enemy within a reasonable level, I'll chase them, dont care if i see some uber gear that I know will destroy me. However, I never really gank lowbies, I just ignore them if they arent worth any points or I dont know who they are....(different say in L2 when its a lowbie in a clan that is at war with mine...I'll gank them til they cry, surrender, drop clan, pick a new game...cause why else would they be playing L2 ). I never repeatedly gank someone unless they are coming back to the area and ask for it...I have better things to do than camp someone when I dont even have something to do in the area.

But gank based games (which I hope Aion will be, aslong as the sieges dont take away from open world pvp) are a lot different. In WoW you die and maybe you bring another nearby faction member back. In L2 you say "party of <clan name you are at war with> at hot springs" or something, and you get like a dozen people in alliance chat yelling "invite me for pvp!!!!!"...of course you never bring a full party back to kill another full party, you have to handicap yourself or theres no fun

Or maybe thats what I want you to believe... <_<

Cats have claws. Claws can tear flesh asunder. Pink and purple can signify a certain feeling in macho men and cause you to be a elbow magnet.

See how I did that? Anything can be good or evil. I have a pink bead thingy on my name badge for my work, because I bought it to support womens research on a cure for Breast Cancer. That's a good cause.

But really, I've always been the type of person who likes being the person people THINK are evil, but turns out to have motives that are aligned towards the greater good. It excites me.

Then when everything is wiped out, wait for them to respawn and kill them all again.

Was thinking the same.

My out look on PvP is about the same, only I usually just gank idiots who attack me. But if they are really being clueless, I have no prob chasing them down...

As for the, "if I'm cute I must be 'good'" thing. Just check this out.

YouTube - Release the kittys

Those kitten's sure weren't on the 'good' side... But I'm not sure who was either...

I don't tend to start fights. I like it when someone challenges me and i beat their ***. I know it makes them feel foolish. I don't fight newbies unless they continually request it or something

[Chaos_Theory]

I tend to go and gank lowbies every once in a while when I am bored. When I meet up with someone my level I will not attacked unless I am attacked first. I am more of a reactive person then proactive.

Lol we got some roleplaying f*gots xD


Dunno if we can pk our own faction but.
i can tell ya right now that il be doing solo pvp runs xD and if i can drop yarr *** i will lol.
If i can't il run away ><

Cause pvp is the fun part of mmo's

[Hostis]

this is a war game. RvR. if I will see enemy, I will kill him. be he low lvl or high lvl. my race need won the war.

[vasil]

Well arent you supposed to get some kind of reward for killing the opposite fraction (abyss points or whatever it was)? no mercy then and pvp is never too much, only in dumb games like AoC where u can be spawnkilled (or spawnkill :P) forever. when done right pvp is all the endgame you will ever need

[Xanti2]

I don't like to start fights, but who likes to get pushed around? No one does. In WoW being on the alliance side sometimes sucks when it comes to PvP arenas coz they normally lose against the horde ... even if its one on one they sometimes can still over power you it really sucks. Even though i played a rogue, i still found it difficult to win, Especially out of PvP arenas they would always make suprise attacks on me >.<

[PermaxRed]

Why would you play an mmo ? to lv up your char and don't use it xD


pvp ftw

[Roland]

Well, in FFXI there was hardly any PvP going on, ballista ftl.

Story ftw.
