So, does anyone else think objective based instanced PvP would be great in this game? Capture the flag, hold a location, hold an item etc...

I think a healthy combination of objective PvP and Arenas (what battlegrounds curently are as far as we know without the changes they are making) would do wonders for the PvP community. Adding just arenas would be a welcome addition, but not quite enough.

Current battlegrounds, were only 5v5 if I remember correctly. Seeing 3v3 and 5v5 with 3-4 objective battlegrounds would be like a dream come true.

OWPvP is pretty nice as is and has a healthy set up for it. The simple fact you can attack anyone at anytime (not, oh im in my factions zone and I can't find anyone of the other faction to kill) open world bosses, BAMs and GvG creates a great environment for OWPvP.

Anyway, anyone else agree? Do you think objective based instanced pvp would work in tera? If you think it's a bad idea, why?

Hey there, TERA fans!

This brings us to an upcoming system we’ll be introducing to TERA after launch: battlegrounds. These organized PvP matches add a level of structure to what is currently very situational gameplay. Rather than having to go looking for a fight, the bloodthirstier members of the TERA community can step into instanced battlegrounds for an immediate PvP combat venue. The excitement of battlegrounds combined with the inherent challenge of TERA’s action combat is a recipe for awesome in our book. Add in unique features like tactical area-of-effect abilities controlled by one team member, environmental damage through player-triggered traps, spawned monsters to distract you from your opponents, or changing map layouts that keep things fresh, and you get an idea where we’re taking organized PvP in TERA.

Excited yet? So are we, particularly about the competitiveness this feature will bring to TERA. We want to get it right from the start. This means that battlegrounds will be a post-launch addition to the game while we hammer away at making them meet our high standard of quality, rooting out exploits, and maximizing fun factor.

*correction there are no BGs in Tera. I don't know how many times people on the forms need to tell you but they are not and they are not in KTera ether. There has been nothing about them since Bluehole took them out and EME is probably like BlueHole I very much doubt that BGs with be put in Tera at all. Probably the only thing Tera will see for PvP is probably by the end of this year the server vs server vs server will be in KTera. This will be great and all, but it will not be tested and probably as buggy and unbalanced as the rest of Tera do to the fact that Koreans do not PvP. This is way the PvP that is in Tera right now is a joke. I could see EME making some kind of PvPvE thing that is insistence based, but seeing that those "new" dungeons that they made them selves are down right unplayable, what ever they make will be just as bad if not worse do to EME's lack of understanding of PvP.

Oh and to the people that think Arena's kill PvP. That is only in WoW. If they are done right, this in being not having a PvP only stat and only have PvP gear that just cost more currency and not needing a higher rank to be able to get. Arenas can be a great place to show case players skill. Tho Arenas should only be 3v3 and/or 5v5.

What does twinks have to do with anything? That doesn't even make sense. Just because wow had instanced PvP doesn't mean they are the only ones to do it, or that it was a bad idea. Way to back up your opinion with anything worthwile. Guess Durrhurr is a fitting name, herp derp.

imo, we need an organized system to allow players to pvp when they want. Without that I know I will be looking for a new game.
