PVP... how is it going to work?

[Point]

I was wondering how PVP was going to work...

I personally feel that pvp anywhere would really work... it did in Shadowbane... like anywhere but safe zones such as the starting cities.

If fights start in player made cities, the guards kick their asses...

If you get attacked, you tell your guild, they kill those people or ban them from your cities... keeping them away from the best blacksmiths, chefs, armorsmihts and potion-makers.

It worked in shadowbane....

I want PVP anywhere because I want to be a bandit... living off what my band and I can get from wandering carriages, trade merchants and just adventurers going down common roads...

Perhaps bounties can go on our heads... patrols can go after us...

Hell, bounties would work... I would not just attack one carriage and leave to my town... I would kill a few until I got a very good haul and stuffed my camels with a good amount of goods...

If there was a bounty on us, the people who attacked us would probably make us disperse. For everyone of us they kill, they get the bounty plus whatever we were carrying... that'd be enough to scare some people.

Bandit: risky employment... you can get vast riches but you can also lose it all :P

thats exactly how i want it but there gonna have special servers for pvp battles :(

[eliminator2k4]

you both are wrong.

to the first post pvp wouldnt work i mean if ur just starting the game and you step out of a 'safe zone' there will always people who will take advantage of you and kill you even if u have no gold they do it for the fun of it. Trust me i use to do it. (lol it also happened to me to)

Another thing that guard crap well its just like in morrowind at a certain point you can defend from there attacks so what if someone gest so strong those guards dont do damage anymore.

I dont think that there will be sperate servers were pvp is on and off I mean it would be great i realyl do like pvp but it wouldnt work if only 3000 ppl per server divided by at least 500,000 live players its a lot of servers times 2 for an option of pvp on and off we l you kinda get the picture and then they will have to add more and more and more as the months pass.

edit: pvp will happern in special arenas where it will be more organzied then just anywhere which would suck I mean imagine beign attacked by surprise when selling your 'loot' to an npc from a 3 hour long hunt and you had just put all your weapons and armor away so you could carry all the items beacuse most likely there will be a capacity or 'weight' limit that you can carry worth of items. Its just not a good idea

Well, in shadowbane, there were guards in safezones or whatever that no player could take on...

Sure, a player might take on one guard on par with him... but how about 6 or 7?

It worked in shadowbane.

I didn't see many people who were random pkers... and those that were, did it for gold. They were too afraid of being banned from player made cities that had the best trainers and supplies.

If there are pvp-only maps, I'm going there.

Well it makes no difference, the only Pvs P area announced is the battle arena in Cleria. I would imagine there will be other arenas but that'll be the only place where P vs P is allowed.

Hmmmm... I remember something being said about, "Destroy Kingdoms" or something... how is that going to be handled? Or has that information been with-held...

I'll stay in a normal server most likely... the system won't be made to cope with pvp-only servers so... I'd just be happier if there were sieges... I wanna wreck ****. And kill anyone who tries to attack my town :P
