Hello all.
Im waiting for a new Online game, and overall i find Vanguard interesting. But i have laern form a handfull of other Online games, that they dont work at all in the long run, if there is no pvp or rvr in the game.
But pvp and rvr is not "just", becuse thies systems allso need to be perfect, and a system link in GW dont work, same goes for WOW system.
Even to day - thou the game is dead, DAOC still has the best pvp and rvr system.
So what i like to know, is how does the pvp / RvR system in vanguard. I dont feel that i have found any good information out there.
So i count on you guys - for the true.
Greating's

I'm not sure i know exactly what you mean, the pvp system will work just fine in vanguard but I'm not really sure what you mean by that.
will it be perfect? nope it probably wont be....and in my opinion probably wont be as balanced and have the pvp content like some of the other more pvp focused games.
if you liked Daoc pvp that much i suggest you look into warhammer, it is being made by the same development team that created Daoc and will feature a similar RvR pvp system.
that said, i think vanguard will host interesting pvp but there isn't alot known about it at this time. they just recently started testing the pvp and haven't released any information yet.
From what i understand there will be a PvP dedicated server, but I do not know if it will be available at launch.
So, ArzhAngel, what PvP elements got your attention in DaOC? The RvR system is well known but what specfic aspects of RvR was interesting? Just curious because lots of people said they love RvR, but never really went into specifics.
look for vanguard to have a similar pvp system to eq's without the zoning, just call it a hunch.
1. 3 Realms. If one gets superior, the other two will gang up
2. Specific areas for RvR, not in leveling zones - that means you decide when you want to RvR
3. Goals for RvR. Each realms has two relics. These can be taken by
capturing keeps and towers. For each relic besides your own a realm
gathers, it gives bonus to all players in that realm. This also gives
encouragement for a realm to work together to either capture or protect
relics.
4. Personal goals for RvR. When you gain xp i RvR, you get Realm Ranks.
These can be used to buy special abilities for your character.
I'm not sure how PvP is balanced, if it's who ever has the newest uber items --> autowin (WoW), then it will suck hard. If player skill is the biggest factor, then it can work ok.

Bingo. My sentiments exactly. Vanguard has so many races it is ripe for a RvR system. Perhaps not completely implemented at launch, but the PVP server will be my first home for sure. Can't wait! These Vanguard devs are some smart cookies, at release you will know why I say this, but they have been around, they know what works and most importantly, they DO listen to the players.
