Member, Alpha Two
I’m sure there are a lot of people like me that have not had a positive experience with PVP. I have never been much of a PVP fan because I suck at it. I’m wanting to go into this game with an open mind, maybe figure out why I’m so bad at PVP. Can I change my experience to at least make it bearable. I’m looking for pointers or any Insite that may help. I may be a lost cause but I’m hoping that there is some advice out there that might help.

Make inrl friends. Play mmos together.
If you're afraid of open world pvp, I would agree to play with other players (guild, friends, ...) for a start at least.
Big scale PVP (Castle/Node sieges) can be a "safe" way to discover opt-in pvp as well
Your better off in the long run fighting back or trying to escape and work on improving those skills instead of just sitting down and dieing (it happens often)
And there always the option of make friend farm with other and so on alot of the cases pvp situation come from one or two people ganking and the chances of being attacked is reduced the more you outnumber somone (Yeah zerg mentality but it does work).
attack back and trying to win mean you loose less resources if you loose and you improve a little in pvp fighting so it a bit of a win win, only downside is the attacker doesnt get corruption penalty though if he does kill you but he gets less reward from killing you soo bit of give/take.
If you want to avoid PvP as much as possible though your chances to do this would be to advoid the high population density area's aka R6 nodes where possible generaly more pvp orinated players witl gravitate to more population dense area's
how does someone enjoy a game? i enjoy the game differently than you enjoy the game. what you enjoy might not be enjoyable for me. he asked for advice on how to improve. you can already tell that he doesnt enjoy pvp, he just wants to improve.
also, become the predator, not the prey. every time you see a gatherer, KILL HIM
Play people that are better than you, and you'll die a lot and learn a lot. Eventually you'll stop dying so much and start winning some.
My best advice is find a guild that will have organized pvp. Guilds that conduct open field small to large scale pvp practice, have designed pvp group / raid specs, and have experience in mmos that had territory control and open world pvp. AoC sure will have it's one on one pvp ganks, or three+ on one ganks, but most likely the real pvp will be between organized, and not so organized, group to raid sized fighting.
Then learn how to make excuses. I prefer my shoes being tied together or telling others the sun was in my eyes.
Always remember it's not your fault!
Personally, I'd recommend making friends with people who are both patient and PvP lovers. Find out what excites them about PvP and what makes them good at it, and see if you can learn from them. When you're in-game, I believe you will have many opportunities to make friends like this
Everyone should take part in large scale in this game if your node getting attack you realy want to defend it so it definetly worth participating in large scale pvp content
