Is there PvP?
Comments
We dont know for sure yet. What we do know, is that its said in a interview that PvP will not be the devs team main focus.
i can't imagine a mmo shooter without pvp ,anyway it can be a surprise...
ugh, players should be able to choose to play the alien race. Else the pvp will be trivial like almost every other game out there. If there is any that is. If there isn't good PvP, then there is a severe lack of high end content. like WoW, max out the char and.. then what?

I don't hope the answer to good end content in a game should be pvp :S
Although I hope to see it somehow in the game.
From the preview video I saw it was said there WILL be PVP, but it will be Arena combat and not the main focus of the game. It'll be more like a pass time, an organized sport within the game.
prob will be..comon its a tps..
think the next cs...ish, kind of

Perhaps insteaqd of players taking the alien personna, there could be a human faction that supports and sides with The Bane against the rest of humanity. Perhaps with the pronmise from the aliens of not being wiped off the planet like the rest of humanity, or some such "perk" for fighting against your fellow human. This would give those players the option of alien technology, etc. This PvP can also include spying, infiltration, intrigue and out and out kill your fellow human PvP.
Just a thought in favor of PvP which may entice many to play who wouldn't think of being a serious TR player if there was no PvP, no matter how intelligent the AI.
Garriot making a game that limits you from killing stuff/players
yea right !
I tend to agree that PvP is not hi-end content. There are plenty of games that feature PvP as the primary, or main focus of the game <-- DAoC for example. How well is that game doing? Not so well. Their idea of garnering more subscription revenue is not based on new subscribers, but allowing current subscribers to split their accounts by transferring players on the same account to one or more accounts on the same server. The title of that should read something like: **Creative subscription plans for the subscription-based, challenged MMPORG**
At any rate, PvP should always be secondary to the key elements of any online RP game, which is enhancing the online experience and interactions(*you know, the role-playing part ;p*). PvP does not enahnce or broaden the role-playing experience. Therefore it should never be addressed as a primary system, IMHO.
Just my 2 cents worth, since everyone else gets to share their pennies I may as well share mine too!
We allready have a PvP shooter in planetside. Why have PvP other then arena style or duels? That seems to be the trend of so many games out there, focued on PvP. Perhaps manay view having PvP is the way to go but I do not think so. My view PvP is about who has the best gear and who can jump who that is lower then them but that my view since I not like it and that is all I ever been a part of the times I got trapped in PvP.
I hope there is not open PvP. Its refreshing a game comming out so far that it seems it not going to be such a big part of the game.
I agree this game looks like it will be AWSOME
BUT
no PvP makes baby Jesus cry
With that said From what Lord British has said the AI in this game will be somthing quite unique. Part of the reason i like PvP is that its a real challenge. Its a challenge that PvE has never (either by design or by limitations) has never been able to provide. If TR can make a challenging AI that gives me the same thrill that a PvP win dose then im willing to give them a shot.
I cant wait for this game
Im hoping that "end game content" will be more about setting up various teams across a battlefield or even a whole planet, and synchronize them all in such a way as to make taking Banite planets back in the name of the Coalition possible.
I want the end game to be about Massively Multiplayer teamwork... not about picking fights with other "uber" characters to see who is more bad-ass.
If there is PvP, I want to see it set up.... almost like a sporting event, with like... huge screens arround HQ displaying whats going on in "the dome" right now.... something passive for non-coms... so you dont have to try and squeeze in to some pseudo side line... but can, in fact, Watch your favorite teams beat the crap out of the other guys.
I dont know, I got more into detail on a similar thread in another forum.... but I agree with the Devs... the idea of having people play the "bad guys", in THIS game... is weak shit. and the idea of "traitor humans" is even worse.
maybe something to look for in TR2... but not here.
The idea of 'traitor humans' is just too... blasé... I mean come on, we humans don't need an alien race to side with as an excuse to fight fellow humans, we kill eachother for any odd number of reasons, even while fighting the same external enemy if necessary.
so please please PLEASE no 'traitor' faction...

Role-playing
is all about PvP….Even in real life. When
you where little did you play tea party with your stuffed animals? Or did you pretend to shoot your friends with
your fake gun and have fake sword fights.
The most popular attractions at any real life role playing event are
usually the competitions against other people.
In WoW they had to add RPPvP servers just because so many people where
begging for them.
I hate this
carebear mentality that a large portion of mmorpg players have. Good games go without PvP just to keep people
like you happy. When people like me end
up playing 8 year old games(UO) because it’s one of the only game with any real
pvp. I’m sorry but if I want PVE I will play a single player console game. Some people just aren’t into role-playing,
and think direct competition and interaction with real people is more fun. Go
figure.
The only
real way to solve this is with separate servers, or do like UO and have separate
instances of the same areas with one being a pvp zone. Like trammel/Fel. PvP needs to be an open system and not
restricted to one tiny area…Battlegrounds is what ruined wow for me and a lot
of people. I don’t know why dev’s can’t
see this.
I understand
where TR is heading and still think it will be a good game. He want’s it to be fun to play regardless of
if it has pvp or not, more like playing a complicated massively multiplayer
co-up version of a good fps. I’ve got no
problem with that if it can pull it off.
If I start killing the same mobs over and over for more then 20 minutes
without any challenge just to gain XP I’ll quit that game so fast… The grind is
not worth it unless there is a reward.
By reward I mean something fun like pvp.
Not a shiny new sword so I can kill slightly bigger monsters over and
over.
Battlefield 2 - there's a great role-playing game, and Counterstrike , Unreal Tournament maybe you should be playing those games.
Theres no pvp in role-play. When we played pen and paper role-playing games (you know the real role-playing games) there was no PvP it was all co-op PvE.
So I think people should get off there care-bear whining and face the facts, if the majority of players wanted it - every game would have it.
Perhaps Huxley -sci-fi fps would be more what you are looking for thats PvP.
And TR does have PvP - you will be able to challenge other players or guilds to fight it out on a battlefield. You just wont be able to walk around shooting noobs in the back of the head as they try to fend off the bane.
I always tried to kill my teammates back in the old PnP RPG days.... I guess that was PvPvE?
or maybe Co-op PvP?
Im not really sure....
and honestly... FF players out there.... who DIDNT want to stab Zell in his "sup"-fucking forehead?
non-sports games are inherantly violent..... and who hasnt wanted to digitally beat the crap out of their fellow man...
no point in being high and mighty about it, Mage...
The game is, what it is... and it will cater to as many players as the developers can get it to...
I see no reason why a game shouldnt have "something for everyone".... hell, thats what makes a "good game" into a "great game"... everyone can enjoy it.
I have no problem with there being PvP in the game.
My problem is with people calling a game a care bear game if it doesnt let them grief other players.
Glad I didnt play any p&p games with you then Ghost
oh, trust me.... everyone LOVED it when Dodger decided to put an explosive caltrop in the basement near the large, suspicious looking barrels of powder....
:-D
Try convincing a gnome not to play a practical joke is like telling an ogre not to smash stuff or a kender not to get killed by his teammates for being a kender.
