Look at the target audience. They could could certainly create an entire continent dedicated to PS style game play, but they couldn't fill it with people. Join the League For Gamers. |

First instanced pvp really cann't be a gank, since you know what is coming, even if you are fighting another player when a rogue pops out. You went into teh bg to pvp alone, no pve'ing really, where as in the open world you could be doing anythgin other than pvping, and then get jumped/ganked by a pvper without any desire/want to pvp at the time. Alot of the time i see bgs as grudgefests, since i see so many players tunnel-vision after someone that killed them like they had a grudge against them or their class. Also a great way of looking at instanced pvp in mmos is as fallows. It is like when some people go into a resturant order a steak, mash patatos, and some veggies, but ask that the mashed patatos be placed on another plate, or even that the steake be placed oon a seperate plate. It is not like they hate steak or patatos, but more that they might not want the juice from the steak ruining there mash patatos, or veggies flavor. Yet also they do not want to have to sit thru three seatings to enjoy all three things, instead they place them on their own plate to allow them to enjoy each in it's own time, while also being able to transverse between each if they desire to. In this way you can say that to them instanced pvp preserves the flavor of pvp and the rest of the game for them, while open world pvp allows the rest of the game to sour the flavor of pvp an pvp sour the rest of the game's content too. Also it is not so much that blizzard has a thing for timers, but that the wow crowd/playerbase like to know where they shoudl be, and how long till they can partake in the content again. Yet they do not want to feel liek they have to forego one set of content always to do the other content. Knowing that in 30 mins (for example) the zone become contested, and that your raid comes off cool down in 25 mins, allows the player to make the choice prior to an isue happening, While also allowing them to not have to treat a game as a job, but as a game for entertainment they can just enter into when their entertain is availible, and then leave when it goes away. |

Originally posted by ShakyMo a) true. WG does reset. b) the size of reward is moot. PS2 does not have good rewards. Early certs can be quite slow. But that is not the point of the game. The point (for me) is to headshot someone else when they are not suspecting it. c) It is large enough to have a taste although of course it is no where close to the size of PS2. On the other hand, they do have vehicle combat and structure control. Those two ideas are not new to PS2. |

Originally posted by Asuran24 I suppose the point is the PS2 has nothing but pvp .. so a timer is not needed, while WOW player can and often do other stuff too. So a timer is more useful. |

Originally posted by nariusseldon Yea so really the time would be redundent in ps. Too many players make ot seem like hat devs/companies seem to make changes, or choices in the game design in a vaccum, when many times the choices (weither you like them, or not.) made are actually coming from feed-back, and trends in the game at large. |

As a non-PvPer, the one thing that I enjoyed in Eve was the news. The slowly-shifting strategic balance between various player factions and empires gave the game a texture, gave the economy moods and a added a sense of purpose to all the grinds. That slow mutation of the large-scale state of the game is something that battlegrounds don't give, (That said, I'm not currently playing Eve - as much as I liked the news and shifting obstacles/opportunities, I'm not interesting in being live target practice) |

Originally posted by maplestone And i doubt many players play a MMO to read news instead of killing some stuff. Even on a MMOFPS like PS2, there is no slowly drifting strategic balance. Thing changes pretty fast, and it is merely a backdrop to kill more players in the other factions. To that regard, PS2 is more like a battleground than Eve. |

No the use of a timer is redundant in wow. Why not let lwg run all the time and let players decide when to enter and leave. |

There are numerous ways to grief in a PVE strict game and have seen it time and time again. "In the immediate future, we have this one, and then we’ve got another one that is actually going to be – so we’re going to have, what we want to do, is in January, what we’re targeting to do, this may or may not happen, so you can’t hold me to it. But what we’re targeting to do, is have a fun anniversary to the Ilum shenanigans that happened. An alien race might invade, and they might crash into Ilum and there might be some new activities that happen on the planet." ~Gabe Amatangelo |

Originally posted by Jonoku Along with what Jonoku said: Depends on the world. Tatooine, Hoth, Voss are examples of planets with decent world design that allowed you to cross paths with the other faction naturally. While most of the others you have to actively seek it out and are likely to not run into them even when you do that, because the faction area's are segregated and only the elite mission area's are shared. "In the immediate future, we have this one, and then we’ve got another one that is actually going to be – so we’re going to have, what we want to do, is in January, what we’re targeting to do, this may or may not happen, so you can’t hold me to it.

Originally posted by Eir_S Your right it says a lot. That games with deep systems and design aspects are wanted by a large margin of players still today. Sure Lineage 2 had its issues (the grind, movement mechanics, and bots being the primary), but it was and still is a very well designed game, with complex systems, meaningful PvP (sieges/territory control) and difficult PvE with world bosses that were great hotspots for PvEers and PvPers alike.

We were all very sad When Aion (NC soft) buckled to presure and restircted open world pvp via their rifting concept. That said AIon still contains many zone's that are full pvp and a lot of open world pvp still takes place  |

You are saying that Aion changes its pvp areas? How did that work out? I know they opened these random rifts which could take you into the other factions zones. That did seem a bit dodgy and well random. So how does it play now?

Originally posted by Laughing-man That is quite simply untrue for the vast majority. Unless ofc you either have some odd idea as to what exactly constitutes "griefing", or you are just prone to hyperbole. |

There is a long list of reasons people left SWToR. OWPvP is pretty far down the list. I would go so far as to say that OWPvP is not a major factor in any game's success or failure unless that game uses it as a primary game play mechanic. In games where players can choose between PvE servers and PvP servers, more people choose PvE servers and the PvE servers are more populated. More people choose PvE with optional PvP. They aren't forced into that, it's what they want. It's just not that important. Join the League For Gamers. |
