in one of Red 5's official beta streams, they made it clear that open world PVP would be consensual.

 

Thats why Planetside 2 will be the game I chose to play.

um, PS2 is pure PVP, and only PVP.   nothing else would make any sense for a pure PVP game.  you really would expect for them to let you opt out of fighting other players when thats all there is to DO in the game?    8)

also PS (1 at least) has no virtual world.  just gigantic arenas.

FireFall has both PVE,  AND (more importantly an actual virtual world worth exploring.

didn't see a single point of interest or anything at all in PS1's maps that was in the least bit interesting.  everything looked like it could have been randomly generated.  from the terrain to the bases themselves.  everything was pure military.  no evidence that there was any life in the world or that anybody would be able to live there, or ever had.  or ANY OTHER lifeforms.  totally lifeless and unimmersive.

this is why i'll never play any PS game again.

iam surprised red5 studios havent given mmorpg.com some beta key giveaways since youve been  hyping the crap out of this game here- least they could do is return the favor.

 

<.<

 

No, they shouldn't. Because that only makes revew sites "dishonest" in their reviews *just* to get beta keys to give away to increase hit numbers or whatever. It's bad enough that some publishing companies try to push review sites to give games a better score then they deserve. We do not need this crap on to of it. I want to know that i can trust sites like these when they think a game is good.

Any MMO that does not have any form of World PvP is not on my shopping list.  I really don't see the fun in levelling up in an MMO without the other faction(s) out trying to kill you. 

If a huge title like LOTR can fail then this game is doomed, you got to have world pvp or you are ruling out millions of players right there.

Not really. Any game that allows (let alone encourages) open world ganking and griefing is niched in the modern western markets.  You could try Aion, Dark Fall, or Mortal Online if thats your interest.  Red5 obviously has their eyes on the much larger market, of those who simply will not play a gankfest game. 

 

You need to open your mind.

 

It is possible to have open-world pvp without having "ganking" and "griefing" be encouraged. Your examples are third rate games that aren't made very well

 

Look at Planetside 1. Entirely open world pvp. There is no "ganking" in that game. There is no PvE so it's not like someone can gank you while your questing. If you are playing Planetside, you are pvping. 

 

Open world pvp is something that should be included in any game that dares to call itself an MMOFPS. 

 

Planetside 1 (and 2) is objective based zerg versus zerg pvp games. And they have  nothing BUT pvp to offer. There is no quests, there is no pve, there is no crafting or other boring things "traditional" pvp games has. So please don't compare Aion/DF/MO with Planetside. :)
