World PvP was amazing on DAoC on the pvp server mordred, You got a great amount of experience from killing people your level and above and not so much from people below your level. You couldnt farm the same person over and over because you only got experience from the person once or twice. Mordred was GvG and not RvR which what DAoC was known for.

Few play that game anymore. I actually looked into it for quite a while, but never played it. It feels like a lot of community effort would have to be involved for that to happen in a game like TERA. Given the current nature of the given stereotypes to Westerners, I do not believe it is feasible. Open World PvP is definitely cool and will certainly be a part of the game, however if battlegrounds are to be removed in an effort to try and promote World PvP, EME will lose players like myself and will find themselves offering disgusting perks like Blizzard is now.

open world pvp objectives would be fun

Don't Listen to the people who are scared of organised 5v5 and 10v10 or even 20v20 pvp, This pvp requires the most skill and all the zerg guilds/noobs know they don't have the skill to compete in server v server BG.

Now i also love OWPvP, You can easily have both if you give a reason to participate in OWPvP and BGS. Give rewards for both. Derp.

However, EME listen to me and ignore everyone else, don't remove BG, bring them in quicker the hardcore pvp community are waiting for them.

/sign!

BG is fine but make it part of the world, not something you instantly queue up for and get teleported to.
Make it occur inside a zone on the server and create multiple copies of that zone like the channels do, and people have to run out to that zone to get in creating some world pvp also.

All I know is, BGs kill world pvp unless you need to go thorugh the world to get to the actual BG.

One of the best pvp's i had was in everquest when they had quests to do for pvp, and npcs to give out the quests to kill other players, the factions would camp the npc so you could'nt get the quest and you had to take over the building witht he npc in it just to get the quest it was awesome.

no BG's.

/wrists @ bg grind.

Sorry, I'm with Daays on this one. OWPvP is something that can be fun but takes entirely too much social organiziation to be fun for the masses. IMO, this is the fault of game designers. They don't properly incentivize the different kinds of PvP. I am all for OWPvP that is easily accessible for the casuals, since the more people that are into it, the better it will be for everyone... even the hardcore OWPvP'rs.

BG's offer the best bang for the buck in regards to PvP. As long as you don't destroy your PvP (like SWTOR or Rift), they will always be the better option.[/quote]


I agree with you about designers not properly using the right incentives for the different kinds of PVP. It is my opinion that BG's that allow the player to insta spawn into a battle zone would kill OWPVP...period. So if that's what EME(sorry not quite sure these are the devs for terra) is going to do then don't pump up OWPVP.

I for one love to OWPVP, but not for what could be a possible zergfest without a way to combat them. If they give skilled folks(be it OWPVP or BG's..It takes skill for both forms) like me I way to kill zergs with a good group(like in daoc and warhammer) I would be very happy :). Sorry a little off topic.

I will admit that trying to juggle the 2 forms of PVP would be hard for them both to exist in the same game. More so with how BG's work in most games today.There would have to be a huge player base. That's the problem the people these days...they can't handle loss very well. They won't stick around very long. :(

Both forms have there goods and bad. What ya going to do?

DAOC had an awesome reason to PVP in OWPVP. Realm points. Realm points let you acquire skills that made you better in pvp and had the potential for a group to kill zergs(which OWPVP could very well promote).

As for as gear you was able to have a crafter make it for you. Then have another crafter put what stats you wanted to have on them.

Bad idea?

I think BGs are fine but with a lockout timer so you can't just sit in them all day? Hope there's no pvp gear. All it does is imbalance.
