Interesting. Although, without any formalized PvP arena, right now it's just who do you manage to gank. Not really PvP.

I think all the years of playing MMOs have burned me out on PvP. It used to be fun. Now its mostly little shit talkers whose only claim to fame in their own little minds is killing a virtual person. As a member of RaF I intend to PvP as part of the unit however I will instantly disown any smack talkers. Enter it calmly, lay the smack down, get smacked down, , offer a gg and walk away just as calmly. Ya wanna shit talk do it on our channels to one another. No forums, no ingame, and no harrassment. Keep the RaF name respectable. I think the most I ever got pissed irl about a game was being duel spammed so fast I couldn't move and being hunted to the point of following me around the planet. All because some guild kiddy was smack talking on the forums and got the rest of us targeted by about 3 crappy guilds.

One thing I have noticed WILL provoke a nonpk is calling them a 'Carebear'. Seeing those damn happy, fuzzy, cuddly bears in your mind can't help but send you into a rage.

The only PvP Ive ever enjoyed was paintball in UO. I kicked some major arse. Aside from friendly pvp like that..Im a total and utter carebear.

Im hoping PVP in TR will be more geared towards 'mock battles' and 'training exercises' which exist more for learning strategy and having fun than 'pwning n00bs'. Dont know how likely that is though.

The reason I'm so anti-ganking is that I got tired real fast of getting my handed to me in Stranglethorn Vale by level 60 rogues. Oh wow, you got to 60 and now you walk around killing people 20 levels lower then you. Congratulations, a winner is you. I had loads of fun in Battlegrounds, and so hope to see something like that in this game.

Planetside is my PvP outlet and boy do I get mad at how lame things are. MCG, my side uses it, and it takes anywhere from 35-50 shots to kill a guy in Reinforced Exoskeleton (Rexo) armor depending on your aim, his implants, and if he has medkits. The Jackhammer, so lovingly named the n00bhammer, takes a grand total of 2-5 shots to kill a guy in Rexo depending on aim, implants, distance, medkits, victim's connection speed, and their reflex speed. The Lasher takes 5+ shots to kill a Rexo but because of the way the "projectile" acts, the VS are able to completely fill hallways with "Lasher spam." Not much of anything can save you from Lasher spam except luck. So in conclusion, the MCG takes anywhere from 2-4 seconds to kill someone, the Jackhammer takes .5-2 seconds to kill, and the Lasher takes .1-4 seconds to kill depending if Lasher spam is involved, and if it is involved then how many are contributing to the spam adjusts the TTK.

Yeah, not sure why I just spouted all that off but I'm not a real fan of PvP because its always implemented poorly.

Ã® dont think pvp will be that great in this game class wise, like you wont see a guardian pawn a biotechnician.... biotechinican just pawn in pvp

Well PvP will need to be massively balanced. I think this will occur over the first few months of the game. While 'classes' are balanced or close to it ... it might not be pvp balanced. However; this might end up just being something to live with.

Hopefully PvP doesn't end up so backwards and lopsided it ends up hurting the clan element of the game.
