Well you folks seem to be the one to ask this question of:.
Is PVP in Aion only is certain zones, like the Abyss spoken of? Or is it anywhere and in any zone? I played the open Beta for about 2 days and got a cleric to level 11, ascended got my wings then it ended. I have scoured the Aion (NA) website for a description of the pvp combat or a rule set and found none. I was moderately pleased with the game from a PVE standpoint ( like most others get quest kill "X" of this turn in rinse and repeat), I had talked myself out of buying it, but if it has PVP, I would probably change my mind.
If anyone can link me to the part of the Aion site that actually explains this or ell me how and where pvp happens I would much appreciate it.
Thank you |

Do you ever get the feeling youre being watched... |
I love the newlywed feelings mmo'ers get when they play a new game for the first time. "Oh this game is the greatest ever at derrrrrrrrr" Its been out less than a month, put away your fanboi'ism for at least a little while.... Besides, Pre CU/NGE SWG players all recall the BEST PVP ever...and it was SWG =) |

To be honest, it goes both ways. You have as many people senselessly bashing the game as you do discussing what they like about it. Regarding Pre CU, the grass is always greener on the other side, particularly when you're never allowed to go back to that side, and all you can do is remember fondly how green the grass really was. .. But in a good way. |

Haha, this thread is a joke .Ppl trying to convince each other of the "great PvP" out there. A great PvP mmo needs a competitive environment, this is only ganking and zerging. There is no distinguishing of who is good or who is bad. We all run on the field like headless chickens trying to catch and kill anything we can find.
A great PvP mmo needs one ore more of the following elements: - A few vs few instanced rated environment like WoW arena. Much can be said of WoW but arena is actually the first attempt to this kind of PvP. Since it is the first ofc its full of flawes. This concept needs polish and improvement which no other MMO try to bring. - team vs team instanced rated environment. Havent seen any kind of this yet. - open world objective based PvP. Some kind of "we got this place we pwn". - ok, some ganking and zergins which AIOn brings.
Aion those unfortunately not bring anything refreshing except the great animations I must say. |

Originally posted by baso80 Hmm actually you got it wrong. Firstly, the PvP isn't mindless zerging. There are a lot of group vs group pvp, skill and coordination as a team are EXTREMELY important to the point where 5-6 players could easily take out 15 enemies. Team vs team instances are present and are extremely fun, however they aren't rated.. Why would they be? You already got the ultimate ranking system which will satisfy your e-peen immensely, providing you're good enough, of course. There ARE objectives in the open world, other than fortresses/castles called artifacts that can be controlled and grant your faction bonuses like buffs, or gives the ability to debuff enemy players or activate a great AoE magic attack. Also as you said, ganking and zerging is also present in Aion Regardless, Aion is not only a PvP game, It has a lot of PvE content as well and the Balaur (which you will be fighting A LOT) are an NPC faction.

except..... the other night in sulfer fortress. One of the asmo legions made a move to take it. The other asmos came in once the boss battle had started to try and poach the kill and reap the rewards for themselves. All the while the elys were camping outside trying to get in and we kept fighting them back to keep the boss room for ourselves. Then the boss launches 2 (nearly) consecutive aoe's that wiped out about 90% of us. Then the elys come pouring in and try to finish off the boss. In the end noone got the fortress. A lot of pvp both small scale and large, and a good time was had by all. oh I'm sorry.....you were saying something? |

Eve has some strong points, travel is just ..... sooo...... freakin..........slllloooowwwwww. There is no other game with the kind of time-sink-while-doing-absolutely-nothing that Eve has. Some people actually enjoy the game which just goes to show you, different strokes for different folks. (no pun intended)

What PvP that is better than Darkfall? J/K Yeah if its anything like WAR PvP but no musical keeps then Im down. I loved WARs open RVR its just everyone was either in senarios or playing musical keeps. LOL you can't really call it PvP if your still playing against NPCs.

AIon RvR is how WAR should have been, seriously. Guilds take keeps and its not poorly done like in WAR. It feels breathing and alive and every day in the abyss is a thrill so far. As far from dead as it possible gets

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. |
You guys are all wrong. The best PvP in any MMO to date, was old school UO. |

Any game that has world pvp, skill, communication, teamwork can all beat bigger odds. Acting like that plays a bigger roll in Aion than any other MMO is pretty silly. You can do the same exact thing in WoW, War, AoC, etc. I was under the impression Aion had an arena system also? Yet some of you hate the idea? Eh? An arena system isn't bad really. Except when, with so few people, and such huge glaring balance issues as wow had, certain combinations were unbeatable against others basically, or had a very large and distinct advantage. The PvP system in place is not new. A zone where you can get killed...? With some PvE objectives where you can also get killed by players. The third npc faction is not new, but very unused. But as long as you enjoy it, it is what matters, not what others say. |

So far it seems that way. Time well tell if it stays this way but so far it seems to be the game PvP wise that Warhammer claimed it would be. Actually, I think what has me the most psyched right now is seeing multiple players go at each other and not getting any lag or server crashes. If this engine can actually withstand huge battles involving players attacking each other I'll be one happy son of a bitch because in every other game when this happens it turns to crap because the engine or server just cannot seem to hold it together least in the games I've played. |

, so, coupled with flying combat, I would think that by your standards (A great PvP mmo needs one ore more of the following elements) Aion is indeed a pretty good PvP game.
