PVP has been essentially non existent. The 10% xp bonus doesn’t seem to be enough to convince players to be flagged for pvp open world.
While doing faction quests pvp players either avoid others to complete missions or there are no other players in the area.
The game gives high level players too big of an advantage. So pvp only occurs after hundreds of hours of grinding to lvl 60 when you are lucky enough to be chosen for war.
Fix: Maybe give players are much better incentive to flag as pvp or force everyone to flag as pvp, but require players to be within 10 levels of each other to pvp.
Allow companies to declare war and fight in open world pvp battles or something similar.
While I am brand new to the game, level 7 , I agree. More PvP will be more fun. Kinda scarce findings for PvP things other than duels. Open world PvP is where it’s at.
Literally had a nice impromptu ~30v30 skirmish against another company running Myrkgard chests on my server earlier. Was a blast flanking each others tents, funneling respawns into kill boxes, trying to take cover from enemy ranged DPS on the high ground, etc.
World PvP does exist, but it exists only on servers where you have groups dedicated to seeking it out.
10% Exp incentive is no incentive at all the moment you hit 60–definitely needs to be a bigger risk/reward carrot to dangle in front of players. Maybe better drop rates, more resource gains, etc–something that’s actually relevant to end-game players.
This is exactly why we need separate server types – PvE and PvP. On a PvP server you have no option other than to be flagged as PvP. On a PvE server however, that option would exist.
You can’t make people who prefer PvE to flag up, no matter the incentive. And even if they do flag up, you wouldn’t get good fights out of them anyway. This is why Outpost Rush needs to come back, and the queue needs to be regional based so people can play that for all their PvP needs.
There should also be 2v2 and 3v3 arenas, this game is prefect for it. There should also be a zone, just one, where you are automatically flagged up when you enter. Make it a contested PvP zone where PvP enthusiasts go for a mini-battleground experience. We just need more PvP game modes where PvP players can go to for their PvP fix.
They could grant more things to incentive pvp flagging like buffs on activities to make people able to combat even higher leveled players so that it would be worth the run, a thing for me is the running that makes me avoid the pvp flagging even tho im above lvl40, I dont like to be run over by a gang while doing a quest while spawn parhaps near a camp I made 500m away just to run forever. There could be some stamina regain 100% or so after mining, grant 50% hp back while in combat with a player after killing enemies at the same time, 20% damage buff to players after skinning, or physical/magical damage reduction after picking flowers against players or something along those lines. XP in all honor, but 10% just nothing I care about.
We need mounts in this game, make something like taming horses or something and parhaps make the horses into a market itself and parhaps cap it at 3 horses on market per player (or some other magicial ridiing creature for the immersion of the island). Also mounted combat would be awsome.
us more PvP scenarios than open World and War. Open World PvP is barely happening (and with 2k server population wont be happening much even if you increase incentives, wont help unless you FORCE people to be flagged which nobody wants)
and wars are limited to about 200 people per server cause the exact same people get invited over and over.
Random BGs would be great. smaller scale. CTF, Deathmatch, such things
Would be cool if they threw in some additional % luck for being PVP flagged, that should get people to flag up, especially now when everyone’s trying to raise their GS watermark and find rare resources for crafting.
False. I’m only level 29 right now, but I haven’t ever seen anyone lower level than me flagged for pvp, even while doing faction missions. So far my only open world pvp experience, is a level 60 picks me off in open world or trolls pick me off at the fishing spot in Windsward while I’m fishing and don’t even have time to exit fishing mode.
I have spent tons of hours in game and have yet to experience any sort of competitive pvp. As some have mentioned, I’m sure it’s mostly server base, but as of right now New World doesn’t have anything to encourage pvp unless you are close to level 60.
, I agree. More PvP will be more fun. Kinda scarce findings for PvP things other than duels. Open world PvP is where it’s at.
