    Default PvP. What's the big fuss?

    All I hear is everyone raving about pvp coming and how the game needed pvp.
    I think pvp is obsolete compared to the coming updates.
    I honestly think guilds and quests and maybe even pets will be the highlight of the updates.

    Pvp sounds like it'll get old fast, and based purely on luck. Everyones sporting the new pink gear and what ever, so it all depends on your luck finding the good drops, then if you have the same stats and gear and all that, what's gonna help you win?

    Luck.

    I don't see what skill this requires and it's why I don't think pvp is all that serious to be celebrating about. Yes it's cool and something new, but come on.


    Tone it down a notch people. It's not that s e r i o u s.

    I'll probably get flames but idc.
    Who agrees with me? I known I can't be the only one

    PvP gives us something else to do other than running through the same dungeons repeatedly. Will it get old fast is a good question, and can only be answered after the release of 1.2. It all depends on how PvP works, which we obviously do not know.

    I do however agree with the drops and luck you are speaking of. It seems at this point in time whoever has the best items will win, but like I said we can't judge something we haven't played.

    That's what I said. And we'll see when it actually comes. I just think everyone needs to relax and stop hyping it up.
    It's based on luck, so let's see how far that gets everyones excitement. They're gonna let themselves down.

    If it's good and nothing like what I said, I'll gladly eat my words.

    Skills will play a big part in PvP so strategy is somewhat involved.

    I don't think skill will be as important as items will be unfortunately, which only hurts PvP.

    However I will probably just commit suicide in the PvP arena when I see a crazy man with a dagger coming after me!!!!

    Actually, we're testing PVP right now - skills and knowing what order to use them seems to be the big strategy, at least at the higher levels.
    Some crossbows are crazy powerful, but you start learning to hide around corners!

    I think PVP will be awesome in that its going define players game ability
    (yea Im talking about the well.... idiots vs people who are innovative and play thier class well, and hopefully shut some bragging snot nose kids up)
    I personally may PvP for sport, but its never been my thing.

    to be complete honest I oppose PvP highly
    Soon the town is going to be a bunch of PvP threats and brags
    And I HATE spam...... Im a trader, I need to not only be able to sell but to hear who wants to buy, until auction comes out.

    It could be the best or worst depending on how it is done.

    I have faith it will be good, but there is always that chance.

    PvP is a big part of any succesful game-without it people become bored and quit the game, resultibg in the company loseing profit.

    So everyobe enjoys it, and the company keeps makin some profit.

    This is also correct. But pvp won't get you drops will it? Lol, it'll be cool tho something new,
    but I don't think it's worth all the hype people are giving it. It's the other future updates that
    should be getting it, which I btw, can't wait for.

    Quests guilds pets and an overworld, sounds way more epic to me.
