    There is full faceroll open world PvP. Be warned now; it's not on the level of an EVE online, but there can be frustrations for some. That's if you roll on a PvP server I'm not sure how the PvE servers work as far as flagging or if they are just BG's.

    I'll be rolling PVP server again because I favor open world PVP myself. Along with that does come your modern day griefers. So keep your teeth sharp..

    Also there's no stealth classes to my knowledge..

    PM before you report at least or you could just block.

    it isn't really full open pvp which make it pretty dissapointing.

    on a pvp server you can flag yourself as an outlaw (pvp flagging) and then start killing/getting killed.

    this rule is usually used on pve server in other mmos so it's not really opvp like, let's say, aoc (i was thinking of this when i heard tera has full opvp).

    There is zero difference between AoC and Tera PvP, besides being able to heal and help people if you so choose instead of being flagged hostile against everybody.

    In PvP servers you can attack anybody you so please.

    what? where? does it start after lvl 20?

  • XasapisXasapis Member RarePosts: 6,337

    No, much sooner. Once you finish the outlaw quest (basically once you visit Velika) you can flag yourself hostile and attack anyone you like (outside sanctuaries of course).

    This system is more flexible than AoC, since if you choose not to have the outlaw flag up, you can help any people you like (assist kills or heal). Of course if you kill people much lower in levels than you, that outlaw flag takes hours to go down.

    Yes there is open world pvp.  BGs will be added later this summer.  There is NO stealth class.

    Guild vs Guild PvP is also a factor in TERA's OWPvP. Any guild at war with another makes them "red" to each other and you can be at war with four guilds at the same time. That in conjunction with the outlaw system means PvP is "on" a lot of the time hehe.

    Just not worth my time anymore.

    Tera's open world "PvP" is hardcore harrasment PKing.

    People are basically camping the first area with higher level toons killing anyone who dares to exit.

    Thank you for your insight Golden, you are consistent certainly lol.

    Any game that has OWPvP will have ganking. There is indeed a bottleneck at Lumber and it's a great place to harass, this is true. Hopefully people are communicating in chat because in my experience with TERA's OWPvP others will, gasp, come and fight them because they want to PvP.

    I do think something should be added to the Outlaw system but I'll let EME figure that out.

    Just not worth my time anymore.
