You can’t have both with open-world PVP. You will never make any side happy so they need to pick. IS the open world for pve or pvp? This way us pvpers can decide if we want to continue and play on a wow type wanna-be pvp game. I think people are sick of wow-type pvp cloned games.
Sure you got Albion but lets be real that might as well be a MOBA
It’s a MMORPG with some PVP content.
PVP-focused players shouldn’t be playing NW; there are plenty of FPS out there.
Plus, they always cry about nerfing this or that cuz they only focus on 1vs1.
The game was advertised for pvpers lol as pvp main based with some pve. I even got the videos from the devs to prove that.

Lol you can say what you want it is a MMORPG that was focused more on pvp with side pve content kind of like DAOC had. You can even go back on the old dev blogs and see it for yourself lol
They made that decision 2 years ago. So you can decide freely now. You could have before you purchased. You could have for the last 7 months.
Yes, my ex promised me she wouldn’t cheat. Guess what happened 3 years later?
BUT SHE PROMISED!
PVP-hardcore players have been repeating this rhetoric for 7+ months now: “But it was supposed to be…”
PVP-hardcore wouldn’t be able to play without doing PVE content or without having PVE players gathering/refining/crafting/selling.
If all you care is about PVP, wrong game buddy.
They even said this pre-launch during the closed betas. In the same video they even stated it was for the skilled player base.
Yes, and my ex girlfriend promised!
yes your comment means nothing to this conversation but thanks for trying
April 2021
shits changed but it doesn’t mean things and modes cant be created to make a more cohesive and interesting game that has things for everyone to do.
If they stay on a PVE route this game will not last. People will go back to every other wow clone type out there
Exactly, as long as it’s not at the expense of a large chunk of the playerbase…which is why something like this needs to be added through new land, not taking land away from players.
they just need to even it out with some more pvp focused modes that have better repeatability that is all that needs to be done.
(pvp modes that arent just arenas and oprs.)
one big misconception is pvp or pve is the majority.,
its not
its the rest of us that likes both.
Large chunk =/= majority and if you took that from what I posted then please let me correct that impression. 
This game, like any other game, will rely on new players lasting longer and longer than previous players. As long as there are more new players than players departing, a game can grow.
With the major QOL changes in the past 2 updates, there is hope that can happened. Even if it doesn’t, there will be other games. What matters is that the time we put in a game is fun. If this game is not fun cuz it’s not what you were sold onto? Find another game.
eh thats fair enough.
No matter what adding in arenas ETC is not the way not saying you said it was or anything. But I know how people think they will say we are getting arenas. Arenas is not organic pvp. WE want open-world organic pvp to where we can use the environment in it etc.
Arenas are cool but get old very fast it turns into a Meta setup only.
its going to take a major overhaul to open world pvp and objectives.
what we have right now with flagging is not enough incentives.
tie it into war benefits (like lumber yards give bonuses or cheaper turrets or whatever for attacks) gaining more pois means easier wars for your faction, the alternative is true as well as the 3rd party element of people coming in to just gain benefits during that period.
organic consequences for their actions.
metered ofc so it cant be farmed.
