When I first started playing and reached T2 (this is in CB) I was running around checking one of the Order zones out with my Black Orc. It was pretty empty at the time, most folks were still in T1. I ran into a Ironbreaker who was one level above me. We weren't flagged for RvR so we stood their and emoted at each other. It was funny. I tried to take a swing but he wasn't flagged. He flagged himself and we started at bashin each other. We were pretty evenly matched. Each of our health bars were slowly moving down. It looked like I might win and I was having a lot of fun. Just the two of us out in the middle of nowhere slowly dieing. Then suddenly his health bar moved up. I looked around and suprise, some Order healer had shown up. Well I lost the fight, still had fun though. The order Ironbreaker bowed to my corpse and I knew then that 1v1 isn't in this game.
What so your opponent can be immune to you simply because he hasnt clicked the "I want to fight you" button? That sounds really crap. I thought WAR was going to be about defeating your enemies on sight, not waiting for them to give you permission.

On normal servers yes that is the case...just like WoW PvE servers, you have to be flagged to be attackable. Now I heard they were thinking about making a PvP server and there you can attack anyone at any time. I may be wrong about the full pvp server so if someone wants to clear this up for me be my guest. I play way too many MMO's.

There are RvR areas and non RvR areas in each zone. If you enter an RvR area, you get flagged for RvR until shortly after you leave. You can choose to flag yourself in a non RvR area like Grim11. So you choose when you want to be fighting humans and when you want to be fighting NPCs.
It's not skill based like WOW's PVP so I found that you have very limited skill options because of the annoying skill chains you have to go through and really the talent tree type things going down multiple paths isn't useful at all like in WOW. Also certain class types can't beat others like my Witch Elf just couldn't take on tanks or the Paladin type class. I found this really annoying because I want it to be about skill of me like in WOW where any class can beat any class rather than rules of the archetypes. Also if you ever come up against a group in WAR you wont win like you can in WOW with player skill, you'll always lose because in WAR its about the more players you have.
You wont have many chances for solo PVP anyways because of the linear levels you're all forced into one area together unlike in like WOW where its more of a open world.
Hahahahaha... that was funny. WoW with skill based PvP? Only if the most skill = the most time raiding. Sounds like you can't get tier 5000 gear because you're in an uber leet raiding guild, which in turn puts you in god mode.
Originally posted by calibek Originally posted by Kshahdoo Well, WoW is prolly all about skill in PvP (I spent thousands of hours pvping in WoW, so I know what is it, unlike most people here). You won't kill anybody if you can't play. As to WAR... I hope it will take skill too... And while I understand that solo won't be an option in WAR, I hope there will be some place for old good 1x1 because people like to be lonely heroes, hehe.
It's mostly a gear game. If you don't have the gear to back you up then there is no way you can beat people. Skill in WoW only makes you survive a little longer.
Gear was never a ptoblem in WoW for really devoted person like myself. Nowdays it's not a problem for everyone.
