PvP?

[rawrrrz]

Hihi, newb here, haven't even been accepted yet, but from the youtube trailers and such it looks like a fun game and I love the cartoonish style.. but, is there any PvP? I get my biggest rush in games from PvP.. And I saw someone say there was like a battle arena type thing, but please tell me that's not all of it? PvP that's restricted to tiny little arenas only so doesn't count as PvP imo.. x_x So yeah, I've been looking and unfortunately can't find anything, so does this mean I'm out of luck with this game? PvP restricted newbie zones and such for low level characters doesn't bother me, but are the higher level areas of the game restricted from pvp as well? ><


I hope not ><


But yeah, thanks ahead of time for any replies and sorry if this was already posted somewhere, but I looked and saw nothing on pvp except that arena post.

<font color="#f0e68c">I know that they have guild wars, but that's all I've heard so far (I didn't get an invite). If you're hoping for (if you've played Runescape) a wildy-type thing, I'm not so sure about that. Sorry if I can't help you much.</font>

Never did play it, it looked awful and I heard it was awful so I never bothered lol.. But eh, Shadowbane for example.. I loved that.. Only safe zone pretty much was a 'Newb Island' and an npc ran city or three.. Ultima Online in it's early days was nice too.. I like the thrill of danger and knowing that at any moment someone could run out and pick a fight with me, I even like it when there are no truely safe zones at all, and someone can attack, steal from, etc you in the middle of town, but then have penalties like guards swarming them or something.. It just seems so much more realistic to me.. Cause in reality, I could walk out and stab someone if I wanted to, but there's a good chance I'd get arrested if I did.. Althoughhhh I could pull it off and get away! Yeah.. You get my point, I like games that are realistic as far as restrictions on my actions go, sure there should be penalties for it, but i hate when I'm just flat out not allowed to at all..


That's my ideal atleast, although in most there's atleast restricted zones and some that're enter at your own risk higher level and higher risk type zones.. But i don't like it when it's as simple as something like an arena.. I spose I'm a fan of sadistic and surprising murder and stealing rather than a formal duel or a mud fight inside an arena..


So as far as that sounds, this game probably isn't the one for me, but at the moment I still haven't found any others that seem worth playing either, and this one atleast has cute graphics haha xD Idk..maybe the guild wars will be enough to keep me amused until something more my taste comes out.. Or if anyone already knows of a game that I don't and wants to give me any suggestions I'd love to hear them! Been looking for a game worth playing for yearssss x_x


Anywho, thanks for the response, just a shame it seems more like what I expected than what I had hoped for, heh..

[Keenan]

yup*i get my bigest rush from pvp aswell.*

[sarumanc33]

lol i only*plyed runescape for pking and i was hoping for a system like runescapes as thats the best pking system ive played with so far

[Keenan]

*thats to bad man.


theres lots of games with a better pvp system.

[Rilixi]

I'm not entirly sure because I wasn't invited to play, but this is*from the information I've gathered around the site.*


I don't think they have a pvp except in set events and arena's. They might or might not be changing this in the future.

[Keenan]

they will be having free battle zones.


they will*let us test it in a event that is coming up.*

[rawrrrz]

like arenas? or like leveling\questing\hunting regular type higher level areas where pvp is allowed? :D


If there's anythinggg more exciting than crappy arena\duel pvp, then i'm all up for trying this game, but if they can't give me atleast that, I doubt I'd get much of a thrill x_X

[Icecube]

I think the way WoW made PvP was perfect :D

[Keenan]

yeh i love the WoW pvp system.*

[rawrrrz]

the idea of the different zones and such were nice, but i mostly just didn't like that it was horde vs alliance, i like being able to kill anyone i want, not just half the people xD


but at the same time, if i had to have restrictions, that'd definitely be the way to do it, zone it off and have nation vs nation type pvp..


i even liked some of the battlegrounds since they had like capture the flag and that other game where you capture like the mine, lumber mill, and the farm or whatever it was? lol i forget.. if it was something like that instead of just plain arena pvp, then it'd be a lot better too. just plain fighting in an arena is crappy.. but when they add an alternative objective and turn it into a pvp game, it gets a lot more fun :D

[Ranbard]

ok lets no go off topic..... well all that i know there r arenas for pvp but didnt hear anything else

[Keenan]

there is a dude in elderine and rumen that ports you to*a battle feild you fight in there.


i played in it with a friend but then they took it off cause it was not ready yet but they are gonna put it back sometime soon in cb2.


 


 

[rawrrrz]

Yeah? What kind of pvp was it? You mentioned "they will be having free battle zones." too.. Is that what you're talking about? I was curious if it was like hunting zones that were open to pvp or if it was an arena type pvp.. And if so was that just basically a FFA pit where pvp's allowed and everyone just goes nuts killing eachother \ dueling? Is that all it was?

[Keenan]

yeh the one in elderine is like a grave yard type battle pit thing.*


its like um...a big circal you run around in kill ppl in they have 2 guards in there 2 i think.

[GodofGodz]

Eventually they are going to make pvp worlds.


*Also runescapes pvp was awsome. What other game can you have up to 300v300 people fighting?

[rawrrrz]

"Eventually they are going to make pvp worlds."


like PvP and PvM servers? you sure about that? cause yeah, that'd be awesome :D

[funparts]

WoW is a pve game with pvp in it....


*it probably has one of the worst systems i can think of.


it should give rewards for world pvp since that is the funnest kind.

[Giudice]

Well if you want*it*more*realistic then if the guards catch you you'll have to go to prison, your character will stay there for an amount of time and you will not be able to create a new one until you can get out prison, this way you'll be able to see how realistic a prison can be (dont forget they will take all your items lol).*You can*say: "bah at least I can kill someone in that forest, no guards there" If we want a more realistic game they shoul send guards to hunt you (they can be weak or strong, you'll get those stars for each kill like the GTA games and the game will choose a weak or a strong one to hunt you), another player can hunt you too for some $ if he has a clean past and get that quest in the WANTED LIST (yep, the bad guys names will be here and their star -killing or stealing- level) LOL this is way more realistic, what do you think?

[sahrya]

Lol sounds like u stayed all night thinking of it or something/sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gifbut ya that sounds pretty realistic to me i would like that....but it seems in all the the mmorpgs i have played there is not enough strategy involved in the fighting it seems more like who get more lucky....what do u think?

[rawrrrz]

as far as needing strategy and a plan, etc.. shadowbane wins for me hands down, tons of different spells and every class has dozens of different builds, races, and different places to allocate your skill points, which are limited.. the combat itself, lots of strategy.. how to invade a player built castle, how you'll get in, where the best place to set up bulwarks, what kind of classes and spells are going to be most useful to getting you in.. as for the defending team you need to be able to predict all of that and you can disablo certain skills within a radius during a siege so they have to pick what would disable their opponent the most, but at the same time not hurt themselves too badly at the same time, then who to target, what debuffs\spells to target them with based on what class\race they are and who else is attacking with you and what would benefit them as well, blah blah blah and it's all going on at once.. that's still has the best pvp i've ever played too, and it had absolutely no safe zones at all, if you attacked in town and such then guards could be set to chase attackers of friendly people etc...





i still don't know if i'd go as far as calling shadowbane realistic or not though, still probably closer to realism than most game i've played and it does have a good bit of strategy needed in your attacks though, but even if this game wanted to, they couldn't turn it into something like shadowbane is now lol..





so yeah, still prolly get back off topic and such, but yeah i do like the idea, bounty hunters and such whether it be pc or npc, just as long as i still have a chance to defend myself and it's not insta thrown in prison the moment a guard comes up.. then when thrown into prison there should be ways of escaping as well, although yeah it should be pretty hard and somewhat tedious, something making the penalty of being in prison worthy of being called a penalty instead of just a quick pit stop heh





but anywaysssss.. yeah, i'd like to see a town only restricted type pvp system for this game, adding pvp and pve servers would be great.. then just step outta town and we're allowed to pvp, then yeah add in some sort of karma system or something (if there isn't one already) like i remember seeing fame and such, just add a negative end to it and a way to regain it through repeatable quests or tedious grinding over time.. something like WoW's battlegrounds would be nice too like i was saying earlier, like a capture the flag type pvp mini game.. that could even be put on the pve servers as well since it'd be controlled ^_^ then yeah still have the guild wars where you can declare war on eachother and then even be able to attack inside of towns and not effect your karma for killing members in an opposing guild during a war and such, blah blah blah..


lots of stuff they can\could do with it, just a general idea of what would be nice to see in this game, atleast :D

[the420kid]

I really hope they have pvp in this game or thats a huge turn off for me. There have been a few games I loved that I quit based on the fact the pvp was non existent.. no pvp no 420kid :)
