Open World PvP (Page 1 of 2)

Personally I think PvP would be awesome. Although I don't think there should be a limit on it as to area. If you think about it, in an actual Star Wars universe you can get attacked at any time. PvP should be allowed anywhere.

I think it would be really neat if you could even organize ambushes within the game. Like get with some other players and attack enemies [both sides] or even same sided players [for Sith related classes only... cause you know they turn on each other]. Maybe even be able to form ambushes or raids on NPCs and related aspects.

However, to keep people from taking advantage of the PvP system you only get a certain amount of XP, credits [if that's what to be used in game], and possibly equipment from a fallen PvP combatant instead of everything [otherwise people would get really pissed about it]. Each of these items which you earn from a fallen player will be subtracted from that player. So if you killed StandAlone and got 500 XP, 2000C, and a Mandalorian repeater [in inventory; not equipped] from the kill, StandAlone would lose 500 XP, 2000C, and the Mandalorian repeater she/he was holding.

Also, you should only allowed to attack the same player every once in a while to prevent people from taking advantage of a weakened player. So if you attack StandAlone at 12:00 PM you shouldn't be able to attack them again until let's say... 2:00 PM. I mean it's not very likely that you'll run across them again but you never know. It's just a way to keep everyone happy you know?

I think that does it for my opinions/ideas for now. If I have anymore I'll be back.

All of the players of buying it for the story and play through. PvP is just another aspect of the game the developers can look into so if you get tired of doing quests [relating to the storyline and such] you have something else to do. Most MMORPGs do eventually if not originally develop a PvP aspect.

I am with you on that. I hate WoW and I have never even played it haha!

I also want to enjoy the story and PvE but I just feel that I need good PvP in a online game to keep me playing.

Like I said earlier I love the rush from suprising other players or being suprised by other players.

I am pretty sure that you will not be able to loot anything from players you kill since that would cause rage quits! lol 

But if they had like a PvP point system inplace. Like other games have. You get PvP points for killing other players and those points are currency for certain PvP items or titles from PvP vendors.

I read somewhere that you can get PvP armours and other stuff from PvPing in the warzones. I would like to see this opened up to open world PvP.

Some planets in Star Wars are just plain dangerous and I would like to see some planets in Swtor open for both Empire and Republic to attack each other. Even certain areas would do. And have strong NPC guards in some place to cut down grief.

I am sure they are going with the PvE/PvP servers anyway. I am just not sure how well this works. If you can log onto PvP and PvE servers on the same character that would be great for everyone.

I love PvP and its the only thing that worries me about Swtor. I know I will play it and enjoy the story and PvE but after that and during I need some PvP 

I honestly think this game is going to be huge. I have been following it for a few years now and also have watched just about every video they have released.

The Warzone trailers looked awesome. And I swear I have seen a video of a group PvPing on Tatooine in the open. Even if the PvP is limited I am still going to really enjoy the game.

I really wouldn't mind if the game didn't have PvP. It would not bother me at all. Still, it's another aspect of the game the developers can look into. Like bounty hunting. There are a lot of MMORPGs which have bounty boards where when a player attacks you you can purchase bounty tickets and bounty up. ^_^

Of course with such a vast virtual world as TOR bounties will probably have to have a locator on them. Or something.... Guess that's another issue the developers would have to work out.

With such a big project there's bound to be a few bugs around. But nothing major I wouldn't think.

PvP is the only way to go imo, otherwise you're basically just playing a single player game online. Cant wait for SWTOR!

Thanks for the update.

If it really comes out Dec. 20 then that is great because I have been waiting to play this since I first heard of it. Also they will make a great amount of money too because of it being 5 days until Christmas.
