Toffle Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) What MMO with PvP do you feel is worth playing nowadays? I can't play WoW. I'm boycotting Blizzard indefinitely. Edited January 21, 2012 by Toffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingerrr Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 PvE - TORPvP - EVE These are my picks (I never enjoyed TOR-like PvP, loved EVE's though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverspar Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 EVE's PvP = extremely zoomed out watching dots move and pretending that it's exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitsummerisle Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 You're best bet is probably GW, I've heard it has some of the best balanced PvP. I think that game even has $20k cash tournaments going on all the time, so could be intresting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Vampirius Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 PVP? The last time PVP in an MMO impressed me was when DAOC was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhak Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Global Agenda is a free game with some great PvP, but there's a community of elitists that comprise about 1% of the population who are PvP gods and will murder your face relentlessly if you are unlucky enough to run across them in a PvP match. It's a third-person RPG shooter MMO though; as in requires much more skill to play than any MMORPG. Edited January 21, 2012 by Mhak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulaufein Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 If you pass the initial shock - and its NOT easy, I have not suceeded in it sadly - EVE is and has been like, forever, the best PVP MMO around. Hell, its the only game out there that fits the true MMO definition the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havocis Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I love EvE but the bottom line with that game is if you didnt play from start or you dont have millions of training points your screwed lol. Me and a few friends tried to play EvE a couple years back. Put a few hard training months into the game and farmed like made till we were at a few million training points. Jumped in some battleships we had (after researching different builds for our ships first and getting them decked out with top notch devices) went out to nullsec to pick a fight. Found a single battlecruiser (it was a tier 1 and battlecruiser are LESSER then battleships) and he just destroyed ALL of us with little to no effort. ALL because he had WAY more time put into the game then we did. Thats when we all quit lol. I know EvE players would ***** an moan but IMO EvE would get a LOT more subs if they just started a new fresh server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XphaedX Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 PVP? The last time PVP in an MMO impressed me was when DAOC was out. let's not forget shadowbane. it was the only true open pvp game i know of except for eve. modern game companies, to include BW, either underestimate the demand for real pvp, or simply don't have the balls to allow it.

KonduitX Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Resubbing to DaoC. No joke. I watched a few PvP videos on youtube last night that were released recently, and sadly it still looked 10x more fun than this even with the rotten textures.

It's a third-person RPG shooter MMO though; as in requires much more skill to play than any MMORPG. Played at launch....Had about 2 50s. The game was stale if you played it anything more than casually. went back to kill time before swtor and they had added a whole lot of nothing in that time. Swtor pvp is fine for me. Warhammer and Daoc did it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because every PvP-centric MMO of the past 5 years has done fairly poor commercially. Warhammer was a huge monetary investment that lost money for EA. That was the last foray into a pvp mmo for a large company. I personally loved Warhammer and wanted to see it become more than a game in maintenance mode.

You do realize "a few million" doesn't cut it for battleships? You just made typical noob mistakes everyone and his mother warns you about.

The trick is how you specialize. If you look at the history of the goonfleet and TEST, they all started out as noobs in rifters and were never taken seriously until their rifters blotted out the suns in bob space. In eve you get all flavors of pvp, ranging from piracy in tech 1 frigs, small gang HAC and BC roams, to capital ship and support ship sov campaigns that last weeks with up to 1100 combatants in a system. (node crashing ftl), As much as i love eve, I got tried of sitting on a titan in a alpha maelstrom in a 600 person support fleet for hours listening to dbrb's dog barking "orders" on mumble while looking at the **** links posted in local char on the ingame browser... only find out there's no cyno and we have to go home...

BegaTasty Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) I am definitely going to get GW2, but its not an MMO its a CORPG (co-op rpg). You are incorrect, its a pure MMO, this is a fact.They ditched the GW1 system this is an open persistent world not like tors where everything is instanced. EVE's pvp is what you make it, I was running scout last night for 2 frieghters an 35 support ships through Stain,me and another 2 scouts were the only thing between getting hot dropped an finding a clear path home.It has a full player economy, everytihng is made by the players. Politics out the warzoo... an very quick instant an messy death if you mess up. EVE is about you playing for yourself,you cant be griefed there is no such thing as calling a GM cos freddy killed me while I was fighting an NPC it isnt fair!!... GM will just say "pvp happened" Edited January 22, 2012 by BegaTasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
