Ive just been reading this and got very interested by this idea of the 'PvP World' in GW2:
| QUOTE | Miller: That's definitely the case. Let me tackle Structured PvP first because it's the most similar to how Guild Wars currently works. The Structured PvP is GvG and those sorts of things, the even playing field PvP where players are brought to the same power level and have all the skills available to them - they're going to be on a completely even playing-field. It's going to be a smaller-scaled PvP where it's you and your team of very hard-core focused - that's our first time.
One of the other things that we also wanted to do was to introduce more of a casual type of PvP. You don't always want to be playing in the World Cup, sometimes you just want to have a pick-up game with a friend - and that's the second type of game, which is World PvP. When we say "World PvP", we mean that it's an area in the mists, which exists in between worlds. Basically its like a giant strategy game map, and what we do is match up different worlds or servers against each other - so you're playing in this large strategy game area and you're just playing as your character regardless of whether you're Level 15 or 20, though we will have Side-kicking in this part too.
The idea in this type of PvP is that it's very unstructured where there are a lot of different goals. For example, there's a castle that you want to take which is being held by an opposing world, but that takes a lot of players. But if you're in a smaller group or on your own, there may be a stone mine that is also held by that world and sends caravans of stone to that castle. So whilst you may not be able to take the castle, you could take the stone mine, which will provide you with stone for your catapults, or you could take the caravans so they don't get the stone and can't defend the other guys that are attacking them.
In that way it's a kind of a free-form world where one player can find something to do, or you can get a group of a hundred players together and find something to do. |
I love this concept of a PvP world where the casual PvP player can jump in and the PvP raiders out there can join together for massive raids. If this comes to life this hard core PvE player may well be playing more PvP.
Everything they talk about brings in this idea of 'cause and effect' in a persistent world from PvE through to PvP, the ideas are fresh, I'm liking what I'm seeing very much.

l2?
well sounds interesting enough to give it a shot, won't hurt i guess (unless it's real life catapult....). i just wonder will it get more organised than ab? or the groups will be bigger (to enter). waiting for more info on that one.
btw. i wonder how will that affect the difference between pve and pvp players. argh i'm info thirsty... (why o why geek you posted that...) ^^"

From reading it seems that this world will exist outside the PvE realm so how different types of players will mix is anyones guess, I'm opting for the current system of where your PvE player can jump over to PvP if you are high enough lvl and have enough skills and perhaps you will still be ble to create a PvP character? Who knows....I doubt very much there will be exclusion for PvE characters from this PvP world, GW as it stands mixes and encourages you to at least try both...

Sounds cool, maybe someday we really get massive online battlefields with over 200 players, that would be awesome, especially cause people are left to make their own choices on the field, meaning people might form teams, but they might after all just run around soloing.
Would certainly get me into PvP.

Thats what attracts me to it, love the idea of raids but only the idea as I expect its gonna be hard to get a massive team working together properly but grabbing a few pvE mates and jumping in to take something small that impacts on the world sounds a great deal of fun...

hmm i would like something that would finally allow me to mix with pvp players without having to grind them into the mud before they accept me as an equal. this weekend i have been seeing a few players who have impresive pvp builds. clearly many of them underestimated me (skills are skills) and for the record pvp = pve = pvp. monsters teach me all skills. i think something needs to be done to get more people into pvp, as its a huge part of gw and not playing it is missing out. pvp only players don't need my advise because im am not into -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/clique as its a no win situation.
