How many people are thinking of PVP?Follow

Hey all, ... ... AGAIN! :P

I was just thinking, how many people are going to go on the PVP servers..

Personally, I think it's getting more for your money.
Think about it, you get to kill your enemies (the alliance in my case) if they mess with anyone in your group.

Plus, I just like being all evil and stuff, being on the good-side = NO FUN!

Anywho, the reason I started this in the first place is because I looked at Alekan's clan site, and noticed they are going on PVE.. >; \.

It'd just get a little boring after awhile not being able to take your anger out on someone.

Imagine being a Tauren (who is extremely high lvl) and you are on PVE and a little gnome starts dancing all around you and asking for money..

Then, brothers, and sisters, you feel my pain.

This little beggar is so incredibly gay/ annoying and you just want to POUND his damn head in.. however, you can't, PVE is what it's all about.

Now, imagine a stupid little dwarf (sorry I hate short things.. gnomes/ dwarves..) running around and tag-alonging wherever you go, making fun of you, calling you a newb, and just being a nuisance, annoyance, whatever.

[Now you've got to remember]

YOU'RE ON PVE

Ouch, that hurts.

Thanks in advance for replies on why you would ever dare pick PVE :S!

"IF" I pick this game (Deciding still between EQ2, WoW, and DnL) I would no doubt play on PvP server, I can't stand games without PvP. I played EverQuest for 2 years on Sullon Zek server, it was really fun for me, but then I quit and got FFXI (Which had no PvP) I didn't play FFXI too long, I quit it, then got Lineage II, Lineage II was a FUN game, but at the same time has ALOT of problems, some of the biggest problems involve their gayed PVP System.
I'm mainly leaning towards this game at the moment, and I will be on PvP server if I do decide to buy this game, see ya there!(Possibly)

Well this depends on one factor alone for me... You see, I don't need to run around aint pointlessly murder people of the opposing faction while waiting for them to enter a zone controlled by my factoin to keep me interested in a game. HOWEVER, I play FFXI now, and it does have no PvP whatsoever, besides ballista, but that doesn't count, because it's extremly stupid. Anyways... On the PvE server... You can /dual somebody can't you? And like challenge another player to a fight, and if they refuse, well you can make fun of them cus their a wuss and didn't fight you. And if they accept, then hey, bash their skull in for calling you a n00b, or doubting your fighting tactics/methods, or just because you want to prove a point. :D Now, if there is no form of PvP at ALL not even a /dual, and the PvE server has about the same of PvP'ing as final fantasy, I'll have to go to the PvP server... Because I do need some killing, and I don't mind the useless slaughter of bored people killing the people of the opposing faction, I just probably won't do it all that often, and i'll take advantage of the /dual command or /fight or w/e it is, on the PvP server. :D

Even on PvE servers there will be instanced FvF battlegrounds. On the PvP server you can just fight anywhere. Yes there is a /duel command. Creamed, there's an /ignore command for a reason. Not all problems have to be solved with a blade.

I agree with JAEFo. Woot! /duel command. :D !! That means PvE Server for me. :) Or at least off the start.

i will never touch the pvp server, i would get really frustrated eventually when there starts to be punks killin the ppl who enter the open prey areas cause eventually u will need to move to level and there will always be a**holes who will just wait for weak ppl and slaughter them.

From my understanding...you can fight with other PC's just as much in the PvE sever. I think that if you kill and opposing factions' npc of some type, your PvP flag goes up, and ppl can fight you. Maybe ur pvp flag goes up, but you cant kill some1 until they attack you too? I dunno its kinda confusing.

I think, now that Jaefo has cleared **** up that:

On a PvP server, you will have regular fighting, however if you see alliance, alliance == die. (hehe)

Whereas,

On a PvE server, you will have regular fighting, however if you see alliance, you may not kill unless /duel, or, you attack their NPC. (maybe?)

Anyways, I never knew there would be a /duel command, and, thanks for the inform of

GOOD LORD MY EYE! AAAAGGGGHHHH!

IIRC, on the PvE server you can get flagged for PvP out in the open if you attack an enemy faction NPC or if you type /pvp or some other command, it flags you open for FvF battle for five minutes.

If what taste I have had of PvP on the PvE server is any indication, I am not going to play on an FvF server. Considering all the complaints I hear on the official boards all seem to bely these same concerns, I have no desire to get creamed over and over at level 20 while trying to level in Hilsbrad or whatever.

I was a young'un and ran to southshore to get my southshore flight path, and I clicked in the npc and since it was in combat with a horde I got killed and marked as pvp. Then killed repeatedly as I tried to get back home. I wasn't anywhere near high enough to consider fighting those guys, all of them were ?? to me. What fun is it to slaughter those that cannot defend themselves? Thus I will be on the PvE server, besides it's easier to work from the PvE.

Yeah i think PvE will be much better because you can fight whenever you choose to, instead of getting creamed straight away trying to level up and running into 3 level 40 tauren, 2 level 50 orcs, and a troll with a wooden spoon...erm forget that last one

so on a pve server you can select /pvp for 5minutes thats a very low and stupid amount of time. They should have made it /pvp and /offpvp so you can choose.
#16 Aug 23 2004 at 7:13 PM Rating: Default
Gihja, it's not an EXACT amount of time..

I believe 5 minutes is just an estimate.. even then, is 5 minutes too short of a time for you to hurt someone..? Boo Hoo.

^^

You can keep typing /pvp to stay pvped. I don't see why you're complaining.
#18 Aug 24 2004 at 8:13 PM Rating: Decent
Sooooo, if you are on the PvE sever, and you type /pvp. People can attack you for 5 min? But...you cant attack those ppl till they attack u first right? But you can get the same result by attacking a NPC of opposed faction right?
