I think the thing Tera needs most is battlegrounds. GvG is fine and all, but with no real reward structure, open world PVP will never attract large crowds the way simple battlegrounds will.

Someone mentioned nexuxes, are these OW or Instanced? Can we PK other players inside there?

Also, I do really like the sound of the upcoming political system changes, but from what I hear the political system is a rather useless time-sink at the minute? And when the BGs are implemented, will the political system revolve around those?

Yeah I guess I'll wait till the BGs hit and see what direction they take the game by then.

By OWPvP I am guessing you mean ganking lowbies? That is all I ever saw from OWPVP in Tera.

And no, you have obviously not played a decant MMO. [mod edit]

I mean meaningful PvP that has impact on the entire server, something along the lines of guild territory control, battles consisting of hundreds of players all fighting for something that matters to them. Not grinding instances for crappy rewards in a boring never-ending system of linear progression. This is what todays MMOs have become.

If I wanted instanced PvP I'd play an FPS.

Ugh, I hate MMOs of today, and players with your mentality. Don't know any different I suppose.

 

 

*steps away slowly shaking his head*

Pretty sure Tera would be perfect for you. Enjoy.

From the sounds of what other members are saying, it probably wouldn't.

Also... Why did a mod edit out my presumption that you were introduced to the genre by WoW based on your interpretation of Open World PvP?

Hmmmm....

Always hating on instances in MMOs! Open worlds, open PvP, territory control and housing please. More persistence, more fun.
