I'm sorry: Does Vanguard have PvP?

I'm really sorry, I've checked all over the Vanguard website, but it's just a flashy looking empty shell. I can't find a FAQ. Does Vanguard have PvP?



Specifically, does it have team PvP?



Thanks. Sorry  for the annoying n00b question.

    for another couple of weeks there is team PvP, but as part of a server merge to consolidate the current player bases these TeamPvP will be merged with a single FFA PvP server into one PvP server. the other servers are PvE with the only possibility of PvP being /duelling.

    ya. ok. whatever.

    but what do i know, i'm only a vanbois i'm told.

    Well, they have a badly implemented form of PVP atm, and while they currently have team pvp they've stated they are going to merge both the EU and US team PVP servers with the single FFA PVP server. (much to the displeasure of the players on those two servers)



    FFA might not be so bad, except for little problems like its possible to kill your guildmates or groupmates with AOE spells and what not.

    In my opinion, the game isn't that much better than the website. Plus considering that they are already doing server mergers, you might want to look elsewhere for a MMO, no matter if it's PVP or anything else you might be looking for.

    Thanks guys.



    The game looks interesting, but I'm not a raid-type so PvP really is what I consider an "endgame".



    Just not my piece of cake.

    Thanks.

    You won't find any meaningful PvP in Vanguard.  I can tell you right now that Vanguard PvP will NEVER be balanced.  They can try to fix it, but the fact is that it's a PvE game, and PvP was an afterthought.  The same thing happened with EQ2, and they've been balancing PvP for several years now after launch, but their PvP is still completely unbalanced.



    If you want to PvP play a game that was built with PvP in mind.  Until AoC and WAR are out, I'd say WoW is the best for that.

    In the Merge FAQ, they did state they were taking a second look at the PvP server situation. However that statement has now been removed despite an overwhelming protest from the Team PvP players regarding merging with FFA.

    If you are planning on joining now then I wouldnt recommend coming to a server that is going to lose it's ruleset a few weeks down the line. Morale is pretty low on Varking right now.

    Kyleran was half right regarding AoE; it is possible to harm friendlies outside of your party. Having played NWN online with a similar ruleset (except even group members arent safe) this is the only thing about FFA PvP in VG that interests me as it requires a little more thought and strategy than other systems. So, anyway, I dont see it as the "problem" Kyleran does, but having to use your noggin in a game seems to be a dying fashion nowadays :(
