PvP?

in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
Hey, I haven't been following this game really, but it looks somewhat interesting despite all the flames it seems like people are spewing.  I want to wait until the actual release before I pass my own judgment on it. 



Anyways, I was just wondering if there is any info on how PvP works in the game? I haven't seen it mentioned at all anywhere.

    Hmm..

    PvP was added quite late in development. Pretty much due to the the rabid insistence of some ganksta babies/jerks.

    So, expect it to be horridly unbalanced. Expect Free-For-All (FFA) to be dominated by bands of ganker/griefers.

    Expect  Team PvP to have teams of griefers finding weak spots in the game to grief the other team (killing off taskamsters/questgivers/tradeksillers etc)

    Expect said gankers to scream bloody murder about PvP balance issues.

    Pray that Sigil ignores them harder than they do everyone else till the fix the real game. Because PvP in this game is not even the tail of the dog, it is the diarreahtic dog poo sticking to the dog's tail.

    Those of you who want PvP.. go play a PvP game till Sigil gets PvE Vanguard running - then come back and help them make some PvP rules.

    You have Divine Patience, IMO.

    Thank you sir



    I found out abou darkfall over a year ago.... I went f**! I want to play this game!



    And then I forgot about it for a while, and then I rediscovered it and went f***! I want to play this game.  Haha.



    Still can't wait for it to come out, I love a good MMO.... But I'm a PvPer and I don't find any of the ones on the market currently to be to my liking in the PvP category.  I'd go back at play DAOC but I don't think I could go back to it now.



    I'm enjoying myself playing BF2 and CS:S for now though, I suppose

    Firstly, don't listen to this guy.



    I am playing VG on the FFA server at the moment. The community is 10x better than WOW's (sure there are idiots, they are everywhere)  but on a whole I have no complaints.



    90% of the people I have run into so far are peaceful, the other 10% are RPK's and will attack on site - but isn't that what makes FFA fun? Not knowing who's your friend, and who's your foe! There is the whole anti vs rpk mentality going on again and i'm loving it!



    I have had no problems with ganking / griefing at all, and will say that there is much less of that going in here than on WOW's so called "PVP servers" with forced alliances and no risk/rewards.



    The risk vs reward in VG PVP atm is 15% coin loot, plus a chance for a durability hit on equipped items. In addition if there is a 20% level different between characters this doesn't apply - to help reduce ganking.



    The only problem at the moment in PVP is balance issues which (unfortunately) are too be expected this early in the games life.



    With that said, i'm having a blast. Come on in! Hopefully it will keep us busy until Darkfall arrives!

    pvp's pretty unbalanced and not very rewarding, but it can still be fun.  just make sure you roll a healer and you'll be fine.

    Team PVP for the win.



    Stay grouped, attack first (or they will).



    Dark Elves unite!
