This is very shallow PVP if the full PVP servers have no karma system, and even if they do whos to say everyone wont be hiding in the games many rewarding instances. Its pretty obvious that PVP is taking the back seat on this one. Not that its a bad thing cause the game looks great, but whoever expects a Lineage 2 style pvp experience is going to be let down.
lol So they offer every type of pvp imaginable, but that[object Window]s still not good enough for you...
Well whats the point of open pvp when players can just get loot and exp from instances if they need to hide. There is nothing but bragging rights involved in that list of PVP, nothing to really fight over. Castle sieges would be nice but those wont be in at launch if ever.

You[object Window]re assuming that the large-scale battlegrounds won[object Window]t contain castle sieges... or that the open world pvp won[object Window]t have them as well. Rather than taking such a negative stance on these things, why not just keep an open mind until more information is released?
I've only read about varying size battlegrounds and dueling so far, in todays terms that is not enough to satisfy a lot of PvP-orientated players.
Perhapes I missed something but do they have plans to introduce some real PvP with consequences?
pvp wont be a weakness in tera, the weakness will be the subscription, great games are coming out with a sub-, so this game (based on what we know about it as of today) not worth a sub-... better save the cash for something better... that is just my opinion, i still like what i see so far, but i wont sub-

Go read the official forums there is no sieges. I dont have a negative stance on the game im simply arguing on the topic at hand, which I agree on that TERAs weak point is the PVP. I dont have a problem with that...

I disagree, TERA in my belief will be alot more fun than the other subscription games coming out. It[object Window]s actually going to be a different experience.

m8 stop it now please. It is funny to see how people are trying to troll TERA pvp. First of all. who ever said "En masse said that they focus on PVE" that is just pain wrong. There are no statement of that. Let me put it another way. show me where it is. I promis you there is none. second. Cmon guys. Only braggings rights from pvp?????? kidding me???
The guy who talked about server invasion, grafich. Jesus man. you have no clue what you are talking about. we all need to wait untill the game comes you, before we can say anything about such things.......

i hope you a re right because the game looks very appealing, i just dont get motivated to pay for it as much as i would for other newcomers like blade & soul

Amira: Can you give us any specifics about the battleground system?
Brian: No, we're not talking too much about the specifics right now. For the most part, we're really focusing on PvE now and making sure that the balance and pacing in the game is correct, making sure the classes are good. Then when we balance for PvP, we're going to be balancing for party play, not one on one. There are some cool things we'll get into later on.
From a Korean Tester: (seems like the AoC PVP servers when I played it)
7) PK system issues
Not enough rules/regulations for PK.
Too much freedom to PK right now
Seeing as their is not very much info about PVP at all would be a good indicator that its not the main focus of the game. It's quite obvious really. Game looks great nonetheless, just don't expect a PVP game and you won't be disappointed.

What are you on about? There will be open pvp servers, pvp anyone anywhere except towns... sounds like a PVP game to me.

It's a pvp game dude. Ever since it was known that the combat is action, I labeled the game as a good pvp. I don't care about what it is, even if the only pvp was 1v1 duels it would still rock simply because of the gameplay.
Okay it's a PVP game because it has the option for open PVP. You guys missed the point. The topic is whether or not TERA's PVP system will be any good.

And by system you mean? To put it simply, if you liked Lineage II pvp, you'll love Tera's. Open pvp = pvp game. Battleground don't = a pvp game, they're just to get people to shut up. Plenty of videos on Tera pvp.
How do you know it will be like Lineage 2 pvp? From what I have read it is FFA PVP meaning you don't flag, just kill at will.
By "system" I mean - A karma system, death penalty system, flagging system. As far as I know these things don't exist in the game atm. Correct me if you know for a fact I'm wrong.

There will be a flagging system much like, if not exactly like, Lineage II system.
I can't believe people are still getting sucked into asian MMO's lol. If I was to go down that road and play one then I'd likely just wait for Blade & Soul. Completely off topic but oh well. I've seen CBT3 PvP vids and wasn't all that impressed. It all looked a little gimmicky to me, just my opinion. The PvE did look cool, though. And I also remember reading somewhere that Tera planned to focus on PvE to cater to western clientele.

So you'd choose Blade & Soul, an un-westernized grind, over an MMO who has their own devleopment company in the U.S? Don't think you should be acting so mighty.

Proof? I think not... But I hope you are right.
I wasn't allowed to copy information from the tester boards, so just quit whining.

Like I said TERA isnt a [insert favorite "hardcore" pvp rule] game.

They've already stated there will be pvp servers where you can kill anyone. Nothing else to discuss, nubs.
I will be PK'ing so much with my Archer, beware!

It's all a matter of taste. I won't touch a FFA PvP game.
Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.

That's funny cause the tester's on the official forums don't know shit about the open PVP.
Hate to bring up other games, but after watching those videos. All i can say is
This is how you do real time pvp.
BEHOLD THE SWINGING RANDOMLY INTO THE AIR WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE ANIMATION TO FINISH PVP
