Is anyone else hyped for the PvP in AoC?

ArchivedUser

Hey guys!
Everytime I see a Twitch stream and the Devs talking about AoC I only think about the ways how the Combat will turn out in PvP and im hyped about the fact that PvE and PvP don't have their own 'game' like in other MMO's!
I am really interested into the Seattle PAX combat associated stuff!

How do you feel about the PvP?

think the PvP will work depending on the combat . think having PvP and PvE blended into one is great

I can't wait to see arena pvp xD I look forward to Ashes but sometimes after work I just want to do arenas/bgs so I hope the arenas etc in Ashes will be quick queues and fun xD

I'm so hyped I am bulk buying Mice and keyboards, so when old age and slow reactions cause my demise I can take it out on said peripherals and still carry on playing.

Yes, I cannot wait also. They'll have it tough finding a rule set that will appeal to both sides of the spectrum but that's why that to deliver on the corruption system.  The large scale PvP will be fun in the open world but I prefer the small scale stuff/myself and duels etc.

Duel arena has been confirmed I believe. 5 vs 5 or 10 vs 10. Don't really know how big the groups will be.

I can't wait for open world PVP as I can bring my cult and minions to full power

Not being forced into a faction is one of the main things that drew me too ashes, and thus how the pvp on the larger scale will be driven by player alliances, alliances that can shift and change over time. So yes am very much looking forward to pvp in ashes,

Yes, aiming to be on the top ladders.

Wish I could join you with that, but I think it's not possible unless you spend more than 2 - 3 hours a day on this game.

Hopefully it will be possible to 1vX because thats usually the situation I'm in the most. When numbers become the deciding factor it gets boring quickly.

1 vs 5 noobs, sure, I guess thats possible. But 1 v 5 as a rogue for example, if it's possible to 1 vs 5 pro players, I'd say thats kinda overpowered. 1 vs 2 pro players, sure. If you're really good, that would be cool.

I have not PvPed for years, but I am so excited for it in AoC. PvP for your "home" in sieges, and the feeling of having skin in the fight, not just gear/rank, excites me the most.
Then again I am hoping overall this game delivers. It will be such breath of fresh air.

Does a good verbal spar count?

The last pvp I played was in ESO. I ran an outfit in Planetside1 where it was almost unheard of a gal playing such a game and I enjoyed DAoC immensely  I enjoy the group dynamics and using good  tactics.    PvP has to have a purpose for me.  That is what I look forward to in Ashes pvp.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the world change due to the conflicts. I for one am super excited to see my first metropolis fall and burn to the ground while also seeing which city takes its place. I think this system is going to be truly exciting.

True! Where war is, there's business! Since i'm going to focus on crafting and the stock exchange, I think I'm going to be rich once war has arrived to the metropolis where I would live.

I'm not going to start a war or something. I'm just saying that if a war breaks out between my home metropolis and another metropolis, I'm going to make full use of that I'm not a criminal, I'm a trader!

You are so right. Really hope the devs are agreeing with this.

That is exactly how the Professor would view himself.....I've got my eye on you.

I'm just excited to watch all the pros duke it out in Arena while I make bets with my friends.. wait, we can spectate arena matches right? Like from the crowds

I'm hoping we can spectate arena matches from stadium seats!
Yeah!

Can't wait for pvp! I'm def not a raider.
I've often wondered if a world scope battleground pvp wood be cool and work....
i.e. - where the objective randomly spawns in the world and a team has to go retrieve it and bring it back to their base...<--- just using this as an example)..just imagine fighting all over the world to the said place and then back to home base...I think that would create some epic battles, and allow those onlookers (if you had to go through a city/town) the ability to join in the battle.
this might be doable, but what I've always seen, people don't like long drawn out pvp matches...but then again "IF' anyone remembers the multiple day long matches in Vanillla wow for Alterac Valley? Then again that was when wow was in it's prime and people had moss growing on their shoulders because they never left the game. *snickers*
not sure if this could be instanced or not since it would require you to possibly travel the whole world or a at least a large portion of it.
The two teams areas would have to have defenders as well because both could be destroyed and taken over....so imagine fighting all the way to said object and retrieve it and when you get back to your base it's been overthrown and now you have to fight to get it back.
was just using a fetch and retrieve scenario as an example...the potential for this is limitless.....
thoughts?

I am excited to see how the keystroke time window that they spoke about on the 6/30 stream would work.
