Let me start off by saying that I have very little PVP experience in this game as I am only in my level 20’s, and waiting until I am level 30+ before I participate in wars and PVP in a larger scale.
However, I have been watching a lot of videos, reading forums, and talking to other players to get a gist of the PVP experience thus far here in New World. I’ve also been gaming for decades now (yes, I’m really old) and have experienced a lot of good and bad versions of PVP through prior games.
What drew me to New World, was that PVP here had consequences and long-term benefits. It’s not just hack+slash=new gear. The area the game is lacking, as I see it, is in organization.
One game that I played prior that had large-scale PVP down to a (albeit laggy) science was EVE. The reason being is that fleets were organized. You had a Fleet Commander that was in charge of the entire fleet, and also gave orders down to the Wing Commanders, who then in turn relayed those orders down to the players in their wings. Attacks could then be focused, and DPS, AoE, and CC effects used more effectively.
What I think would benefit this game greatly, is if a Company (or group of Companies) could designate a “Battle Field Commander” or “General” who would have the ability to tag the in-game map with Attack, Rally, and Fall-Back points - etc. Or be able to organize players into “Squads” with specific roles like DPS, Heal, CC, etc, then give those squads their own directions.
Not only would this give the game a more realistic war “feel”, but it would also better organize attacks, provide new, exciting, and important roles in War, as well as make tactics implementable and valuable.
Just my thoughts. Feel free to Yay or Nay.
