PvP is a delicate thing to implement and very few games have implemented it well...personally, I rather enjoy the lack of PvP

Rei · 02-17-2003, 04:32 PM

Ya but whats wrong with PvP i mean if the piss you off you cant doanything about it or if you just feel like waking someone for doning something stupid in a importent battle

FF6Locke · 02-17-2003, 04:54 PM

Ok if they made an arena that'd be sick.. I wouldnt like it if people can just walk up to u in a field and kick the fuck out of u... Would be stupid... If your the one taking the beating... if ur giving it, thats wicked lmao

Rei - PvP is not offered in FF XI. if you are looking for PvP go look at some other games.

don't blame FF XI for not having it. it's not planned to offer you PvP from the beginning.

this has been in another thread
without MAJOR rebalancing PVP wouldnt work at all

Terikan · 02-17-2003, 05:48 PM

no it wouldn't

an arena like the one you find shadow in on the second part of ffIII (ff6) would be cool, they should def put one in sometime.

FF6Locke · 02-17-2003, 05:51 PM

Or, maybe a system like, if your in a field, and you want to challenge someone to a fight, you target them, and there is a option to ask them to duel. If they decline your offer, then u cant fight them. If they accept.. Game on!

Rei · 02-17-2003, 06:34 PM

that would be great for an area or a place where you can offer to dule maybe even have a tag due or something just for fun

Jherrith · 02-17-2003, 06:43 PM

Jei....I actually think that PvP was a possibility from the beginning of FFXI.

If you read the information on SanD'Oria, I think it mentioned the fact that the Elvaan's are a proud race and that the kingdom is currently stable after lots of fighting. I think this is a premise to a possibility that a civil war may result in SanD'oria in the future.

As for my point on PvP....if it is implemented, I seriously hope it's a matter of choice (as in a duel), and only allowed in certain locales.

PvP is fine in arenas.

Go try a PvP game sometime for real though. I've played EQ for 3 years, I thought I would try EQ for a chuckle one day.

It's just annoying....you may think its great to be able to hit people....for 5 mins.....but as soon as the 1st gang of people victimise you.

Oh ya....you will change your tune to PvP

Also PvP imbalances the server class populations. Everyone wants to be Monks, Thieves and Black Mages etc.

Basuically those who go forth and kick ass. Not those that go stay at the back and heal ass.

Terikan · 02-18-2003, 02:08 AM

free for all pvp is what you are referring to. That kind of stuff is pretty lame and boring, but when you have large teams of players fighting each other its a lot of fun, like when I used to play dodgeball in school.

That's something i'm sure this game will never have, but oh well.

Xsodaz · 02-18-2003, 07:46 AM

NO pvp?? what?? pvp is a very important part of online multiplayer games!!! i totally support pvp!! kill and get killed is a part of online games!!! i totally support pvp!!! PVP rules!!!! shut up if u don't like it (u pussys):mad:

Chipmunk777 · 02-18-2003, 08:12 AM

pvp is alright, but its not really that important... plus, having pvp in FFXI wouldnt go along with the story, since you're all supposed to be working together to stop the evil and save the crystals or somethin like that :p

Jherrith · 02-18-2003, 08:21 AM

Xsodaz....sorry to say, but it's people like you why I dont like PvP. If you can't enjoy a game outside of killing other players and ruining their day, then I dont see why you're playing a game for fun. It seems, to me, like you're playing the game more for empowerment reasons.

Chipmunk777...I understand your view of PvP in FF games, but I honestly believe that PvP was set up as a possibility in FFXI. If you read my earlier post concerning the history of SanD'Oria, you will hopefully see my reasoning.
