yes!
And frozen's first post about capes and gloves, etc, sounds very interesting. If the devs see promise in that idea and aren't too busy with SL, just maybe.

The thing is like leaderboards any system like this would get abused and I don't think nearly enough people pvp to make it worthwhile. I know more people who don't pvp than do. The people that do are very vocal and passionate about it.
There are a TON of people who pvp. Pvp is the number one incentive to buy platinum btw. Respecs and platinum packs are a huge part of making builds for pvp. Also, since this would be an INCENTIVE for people to start pvping, you'd have more pvpers.
The social part of it would likely get all firey and smelly from troll sweat tho....
haha so true! come on spacetime! this idea could generate more money!
HerWolf is right though, the only uses for platinum would be more auction/inventory slots and new campaigns if not for pvp
those premium lvl packs are actually pretty good and its hard to be very competitive without them at low lvl pvp
I agree with everything the thread is about. PvP incentives, more reason to PvP, etc.
But, I honestly think that before they consider implementing any incentive, that they should fully balance PvP - both end game and twinking.
rewards for pvp will never work and will couses a lot of flames and cheats....
just farm for the items u want and after go pvp and enjoy... i dont get the problem...
My best experience on PvP rewards was RF Online.
Each character had "Race Points". This was built up by doing quests, winning the daily "chip war" (almost like defend the base, first one to destroy the base of the other wins), and killing the opposite race.
The amount you get is different depending on how much the killing person's race points versus the race points of the one who died, so at times you could get as much as 10,000 race points if you are lucky enough to get a kill off a high levelled guy.
These race points were used to rank the people in the race. The top 10 players would have a weekly voting system, you could vote for any of the top 10 and the top 3 become like the "council" of the week who lead the chip wars.
Alternatively, these race points could be used to get other stuff in-game, PvP armours, weapons, etc :)
It worked well because you could only lose a certain % of your race points a day, so you couldn't really abuse it that much. Also, if you were caught, it was bannable :p
yes it would!
If sts followed this type of set up for pvp rewards, then I'm sure it would work out just fine. This would be totally awesome, only problem is that rushers could still barge into a game and steal points, then leave. I guess that would be up to the ones in game to keep on their guard if they decide to socialize
