Hello SI;

How do you feel about GvG on the PVE servers? Do you like it, hate it, don't really care?

I'd love to have more pvp options on a pve server, but because I know a lot of our players in K&K don't enjoy pvping, I'm a little sad that you can't opt out of the GvG pvp.

I guess I'll have to wait for instanced battlegrounds. I wonder if those'll be for 60s only, if we'll be able to try em out through all the levels.

Have a great Thursday.

I'm still fuzzy on the details, so I might make no sense.

IF you can pick/choose who can declare on you (like if both guilds have to agree to pvp each other) and you reach a 'gentlemen's agreement' that GvG will only happen in Kaiator or some specific game area, then you could have a 2 hour free for all that would be a blast for people that want to do it, but it would keep the leveling lowbies/alts safe.

If any guild can declare on you once you flag, it won't be fun for a non-pvp ninny like myself.

When I'm in 'leveling' mode, I really don't want to be ganked. It is why I'm on a PVE server. Spent too many years on PvP servers in other games.

Well, I already have a rule in the guild that we will only do GvG unless there is an unanimous vote for it. After all, every guild member would be participating in it.

In regards to the component itself, GvG is useless. There are no rewards.

Most of us are waiting for BGs.

I think the way it works is if your guild has declaired GVG and another guild has declaired GVG then anyone under the GVG rule can be engaged into pvp battle with another player of another guild. Not necessarily guild vs guild.

Its how i understand it. I belong to a very small close guild with out small amount of active members it won't be fair game if we had to go up against someone like The Older Gamers etc. We would get decimated in seconds if its a numbers game.

If i am right then this should keep lowbies and other guilds that do not wish to pvp safe as well as people that do not belong to guild.

Actually, smaller guilds should have the advantage. Think about it. Less people for them to kill, and you can do guerilla tactics.

Yes if ganking is your ideal, but if you designate a battle area where both guilds meet is another story.

I don't mind trying the pvp out. I have asked my guild leader to put us in the GVG category. But i guess i have a sense of guilt to attack another player in a pve server. Just seems strange XD

Yeah, I wish there was a way to flag yourself for pvp on the server, or at least have it so only certain members of the guild can flag if they want for GvG.

And it is pretty useless, I agree, but I do like to pvp, even without awards. Its just a nice change of scenery.

It sounds like a pretty pointless version of pvp.

I don't understand why it is even being implemented on PvE servers, where people have obviously already decided they're not interested in open-world PvP.

Isn't open-world PvP already implemented on PvP servers? Isn't that the point of a PvP server? So...in that case...this type of GvG still makes no sense. Sure, it gives guilds specific targets, but without incentives, GvG doesn't really add anything to the game.

If anything, I'd make a guild on my alt and declare war on it, just so I could have the purple name. Otherwise, PvP without rewards is the equivalence to 10 on 1 ganks to me.

I said that in response to a smaller guild versus an incredibly large guild, where it's 1:5 respectively. If you're saying something like that should occur "fairly" at a designated battle area-- I'm sorry, smaller guild loses each time. Sheer number would win in a formal battle such as described. My strategy was for smaller guilds to win against a larger guild. Ganking is also non-existent in these battles. Mainly because it's one guild versus another guild and every member knows that they have to kill the other people. The target has the chance to defend themselves, after all, they know they're open to attack wherever they are.

Now, in a perfect world scenario, it would be interesting to see how that "designated battle field" idea stands out. I've a mind with current playerbase that it would not happen easily. If it was at least a possibility though, I'd definitely visit it.

Tis why I'm not doing GvG unless there's a unanimous decision of all my members.
