Xclusive Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I see alot of people wanting/wishing for world PvP. Saying, OMG BW fix world pvp, do this do that... Here is a new idea, organize an event yourself! Coordinate with the oposite faction, or go camp them until their guild gets off there ***. Guild up, group up and go terrorize the other faction. Remember all the old great MMO's? SWG, there wasn't a REWARD for PVP, people did it because it was fun. Go make some world pvp, and stop ************ for BW to do it for you. On fatman we have world pvp events quite often, and its fun! A nice break between warzoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bocherel Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Yeah but it was easier on SWG since it had a real WORLD There was player city to occupy, there was capital to "invade", there was pve spot to camp, there was city warn (at least for a lil' bit haha), etc There is no "hot spot" in SWTOR like bestine, theed, ancorhead All we have there is ilum and it's a not very well thought out "hot spot", very prone to not encounter anyone But I agree with your sentiment OP, doing PvP should be a matter of players mentality However with all these new "young" players you can't see much of that anymore, there is no "pvp pride" like there was years ago in old school mmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonstantinT Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 You could also play with rocks and imagine that they are imperial/republic starships shooting at each other. Could be fun, but wouldn't it be better if they actually looked and acted like starships? Apply the same concept to real pvp and imagined no reward no objective pvp and you will understand why many people will disagree with your post.

Ozzone Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Well one major roadblock is server forums to be able to organize RvR. Remember the Warhammer days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meanerr Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Move PvP vendors off the fleet and onto contested planets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonstantinT Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 When vendors are sitting safely behind the insta-gib line all that would do is make it less convenient to buy things. PvP needs rules. Can't enforce those rules unless there's a referee that everyone listens to or it's hardcoded into game mechanics. I'm not saying it's impossible to have fun with made up unenforceable rules, what I mean is it's more fun and better organized when there are objectives, rewards, and rules.

Bocherel Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Also the death should be a penalty not a reward where you respawn in stealth at the same spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xclusive Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Don't get me wrong, sure it could be better. I for one think they should blow up these fleets and put ground bases... But that isn't the case, atleast not now, I'm just sugesting to work with what we do have. I would love to see more people put together there own content. keep posting your ideas.

PvP with rules, referees, and objectives is not world PvP. Its RvR. RvR and World PvP are two completely different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleMagick Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Here is how to World PvP. 1. Get a group together. 2. Find some enemy lowbies and kill them and camp their corpses. 3. They call high level friends and guild members or get on their high level characters. 4. They fight back 5. World PvP ensues. Ganking, spawn camping, and unfair, unbalanced fights is what World PvP is all about. If you don't like those things then you don't like World PvP and what you should really be asking for is some kind of RvR implementation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish there were more people that understood this. Back in the day, if someone was camping your boys, EVERYONE came to help. These days, people see it as, well there is no reward, why should I go help this guy thats getting camped. I guess the mentality of the community needs to somehow change. Maybe I'm just old school, but if one of my guildies are getting camped, im omw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
