I love how this single post nuked the whole thread.

Honestly, fair points are being made across the board, but as their is no cost/benefit (other than the bones for the declaration and a little pride), I don't see why the CBT3 format needs to be changed so badly. Sucks to be ganked at low levels, and I'm sure I'll be on the short end of that transaction more often than not.

Maybe it's just my inexperience shining through here, but I haven't played an MMO (always play PvP when possible) that didn't include a little of the infuriating gankage.

TL;DR = I like the CBT3 rules.

Daoc adressed this back in the day with RvR.. had areas lvl restricted where ppl coild PVP their brains out and not worry about high lvl ganking lowbies.. it was prolly the best pvp action i've ever played as it was balanced and extremely fun..

Granted there are not 3 realms in Tera but that format was insanely fun.. tried other games where pvp was ,just crap and ppl were constantly being ganked by higher lvl's

Woukd be great if they could do this , say GVG cross server and have an objective to conquer.. in doing so the conquering guild could fly there coloers and have bragging rights...

probaly far fetched but i would llike to see something along these lines to open pvp .. just a thought

what time will the servers be up for EST? there gonna be online like noon on the west coast, so maybe 2 pm for east coast?

Okay, so here is my take on the Pvp and how it should be. From what was stated Infamy point only counts for the world Pvp, correct? so any player who are not involved in a GvsG will gain infamy points if they kill player who are 6 lvl or lower. So an exploit in infamy during a GvsG can never happen, unlike what Mushimushi stated.

Mushimushi:
"This is how you exploit Infamy points in GvG if you add them to it and remove the score each kill gives, as proposed by the previous posters:

Step 1: Declare war on the guild you hate.
Step 2: Bring a horde of lv11s and keep your actual characters offline.
Step 3: Attack every member of the other guild.

Outcome A: The members of the other guild kill your horde, causing an instant spike to cap in infamy and thus become instantly outlaw, when they never actualy decided to be outlaw.

Outcome B: The members don't fight back, allowing you to get free kills without nothing to lose.

So, think before you ask. "

Another thing that is bugging people is that killing of lowbies in a GvsG. My solotion would be is what many are saying, player who are 6 or lower lvl than the attacker should not yield GvsG points. This way Higher lvl would not bother with lower lvl and lower lvl can pvp with their own lvl range. this will discourage ganking and lowbies points farming.

"You don't earn Infamy in a GvG. Feel free to slaughter their lowbies."

Many of you are bothered with this statement...? Why, exactly? if a player who is higher level is penalize for killing a lowbies in a GvG, then Mushimushi statement about exploitation can occur. The thing is Guild Wars are an option. If you blindly declare a war on a guild you better prepare for a consequence. One thing you guys got to know is War is [filtered] and you can NOT complain about it.

Maybe i'm crazy for thinking this, but it seem to me that many you guy want a Safe pvp War... seriously...?!

In my opinion this system is quite will implemented so far.

Acutally, this isn't a Open pvp this is basically battle ground.

i like that you-er name turns red when you kill to many low levels i like skilled pvp but to many games these days allow ganking its fun when you have a chance to kill a guy but when you-er like lvl 10 getting ganked over and over buy a max lvl its just lame one Ave the best pvp systems i ever saw was lineage II when you start a fight you-er name turns red guards in town kill you and if a player kills a red name they can drop gear but you can run to a shack and stash you-er gear and except you-er faite ove death witch will also lower the penalty and loose red but more you do it worse the penalty it was a skilled pvp i believe when a guy may kill you but he will run after that don't mind being killed its the gankfest like in wow i think this should beaded only for ganking low lvls over and over tho i also hope to see some reason for guilds like being able to control bases or towns and have wars between guilds LOVE THE GAME SO FAR combat is fun and exiting glad to see some new ideas coming out finaly and some old good ones forgotin about
