When I made a character on a PvE server, I didn't realize that there was absolutely no way to PvP on them. No way to "flag up" or anything; just silly duels. Then I look over at PvP servers, which the Game Guide leads me to believe is exactly like a PvE server that you can flag up on ("outlaw" ability).

That's not how it should be!

From what I read in the game guide (http://tera.enmasse.com/game-guide/pvp), PvP servers are exactly what PvE servers should have been.

Add to that, PvE servers have no GvG or battlegrounds. We literally have nothing in this regard, which isn't really apparent when choosing a realm (add to the fact that there are NO "Recommended" PvP realms). Even worse, you can't transfer from a PvE realm to a PvP realm (or vice versa)! So PvE players are literally stuck in a terrible place.

TERA is an incredibly fun game, PvE-wise. I greatly enjoy all content I've come across so far. I really like the combat system, and the 3 classes that I've played so far.

However, PvE sever players want PvP too.

lol you rolled on a pve server and then complain that all it has is PvE......................................

oooooooookkkkkkkkkkk................

Today TERA community we have reached new heights.

OP, The BattleGrounds Upgrade/addition, if and when it arrives, will let you do REAL PVP.. otherwise join a PVP server and expect to be treated with open arms by the higher levels.

Don't be dense. Before the end of the CBT's, your beloved pvp community was telling anyone who didn't think nonstop lowbie ganking was the ONLY TRUE form of pvp to roll on a pve server. Now you mock them for doing what you told them to do?

There should be some consensual forms of pvp even on pve servers. Battlegrounds may fit the bill, but deathmatches and so on should have been available also. That you've got your head shoved so far up your *** as to miss the obvious isn't the OP's problem.

the [filtered] did i just read

Battlegrounds aren't on PvP servers either.. yet. Are you sure PvE servers aren't getting this eventually?

Personally, I think PvE servers should have battlegrounds and PvP servers not.

Battlegrounds are optional, consensual and somewhat balanced. For a PvE player, they represent the most fair aspects of PvP. I agree, that would suck if PvE servers don't get them. I'd be surprised if they don't though.

PvP servers, on the other hand, should focus on open world pvp dynamics. Battelgrounds, imo, detracts from this as it just incents people to grind them for rewards. So you get people standing around the battleground masters queuing for the next instance pop instead of scratching their pvp itch via organized battles in the field.
