2008-09-07 08:00:00 by Samuel Axon in Massively
...PvP , Opinion , The Daily Grind Player vs. Player gameplay has undergone a drastic change in recent years. Games like Meridian 59 and Ultima Online didn't pull any punches. Anyone could kill anyone anywhere, and the penalties could be quite severe. When you died In Meridian or UO , you dropped all of your gear. The person who killed you could...

Separating PvP from PvE

2007-12-29 08:34:00 by Tobold in Tobold's MMORPG Blog
 
...PvP earned gear only usable in the open world and BGs/Arenas? Or to put it another way, you can't wear it in PvE instances 1. People who are PvPing for gear to fill PvE gaps, wouldn't bother, resulting in 2. LFG for regular 5mans and heroics would increase again, as gearing for raiding would require those runs 3. You would have to enjoy,...

Making raiding more like PvP

2007-12-30 08:01:00 by Tobold in Tobold's MMORPG Blog
 
...PvP very much, and rarely participate in the PvE endgame. And there are people who like PvE much more, and rarely do PvP (me, for example). And between these two small groups there is a much larger group of players who like both, and whose decision to do one or the other is often influenced by relative ease and reward of the activities. Which...

Is WoW PvP the best possible PvP for a MMORPG?

2008-03-06 15:20:00 by Tobold in Tobold's MMORPG Blog
 
...PvP. Somebody was forming a "premade" PvP group in the trade chat channel and I joined this "trademade" group to do a couple of Eye of the Storm and Arathi Basin battlegrounds. A nice improvement over just joining random battlegrounds alone, especially the few times where we were originally paired against another premade group, which then...

Its ok to hate bad PvP, but have you played good PvP?

2008-08-11 19:18:42 by syncaine in Hardcore Casual
 
...PvP is something PvE players do end upliking? I mean, if EQ PvP is your only example of PvP, I dont blame you for hating PvP. Same goes for WoW PvP. Two PvE games that tried to add PvP as an extra, and in turn made a lot of people really hate PvP What if a lot of those PvE only players see what decent PvP is like in WAR, and actually enjoy...

Why PvP rulez in WoW

2008-02-21 08:01:00 by Tobold in Tobold's MMORPG Blog
 
...PvP. The epic rewards are of a similar quality, even use the same models in many cases. There is no raid ID, no class requirement, no spec requirement, no gear requirement, no time and date requirement. In the most extreme case there isn't even a requirement to actively participate, as the AFK leechers in Alterac Valley prove, although I'd...

The Daily Grind: should PvP rewards give PvE benefits?

The Article has images
2008-08-18 08:00:00 by Adrian Bott in Massively
...PvP. We're fine with that. De gustibus non est disputandum, as the Romans used to say: don't argue over tastes. But what happens when a game's designers need to assess motives for PvPing, and allocate it some sort of reward? Should they make PvP rewards useful for PvP and nothing else, ensuring that players who don't want to PvP won't feel...

Seein' Red - Now THAT'S PvP

...PvP combat. If you've killed enough rats today, you can participate in an exciting PvP game that I like to call "Chase the guy with the red name". It doesn't matter what the objectives are, or who that guy is. If he has a red name, chase him down and hit him in the back until he drops dead. And don't worry, the
