I don't pvp cause it is not really fun...Originally Posted by Xoralis
You can hardly see a difference between the uniforms of each team (there s really a need to make them differents)
Well i ve found a way to go through this difficulty, i shoot everything i see... but hey... that's sound stupid isn't it ?
Plus there is rabbit in every pvp match (you know the guys that always jump ^^)
But maybe one day I would try more harder...
I mainly only PVP for the pursuits; there are either incredibly overpowered players when I go in or a bunch of hackers. Either way it doesn't make it fun and it is a huge grind just to get what you need.
I'm a soloist by nature, I've found PvP to be the haven of clan players, and griefers (sorry it's my personal opinion). Mind you I have nothing against clans/guilds they just (usually) aren't my cup of tea. Add to that an earlier posters annoyance with the "bunnies" and crash boomers ( who are second only to the let me drive my vehicle all over the arkfall running over any mob I see on my list of pet peeves) and the L2P types tend to keep me out of PvP .
Mostly cause this mean guy Xoralis just murders me for no good reason...
I don't like PvP in MMO games at all. It usually ends up to much griping and fussing about this and that and blah blah blah balance, nerf, omg pew pew melt faces off. MMOs where meant for grouping and working together not running around killing each other, and in past games huge server wars has broken out just over pvp. But anyway, the open world and being a shooter rather a button masher, I do feel like Defiance has it a bit more right as everyone has access to the same things. But it will still always have something to complain about.
I enjoy FPS games for a bit, but in MMOs ... I don't know. Even with Defiance being more of a shooter I just don't have the desire for it. Maybe later as I'm running out of all pve pursuits.
I've not PVP'd so far as I like to make sure I have a good level/ gear before I try, to prevent me just getting owned. 20 EGO to go until 4000 and I've unlocked all my perks so I may give it a go then but to be honest after all the stuff I've been reading in the forums I may just give it a miss as it really doesn't sound fun. I'll probably try it but if the first game I play has someone using one of the variety of exploits I've been reading about I will simply leave and not try again until I'm sure they've been fixed. I'm assuming you cannot join as a group or if so the max is 4? if this is the case its more likely for me to have a go as playing with a group of random pickups Vs a premade clan group is less fun than a boot to the nadgers.
Because i can die 20 times and have zero kill, which i need for pursuits.
The ppl who do PvP are either pro or mental, they hop about like bunny rabbits on fire and still manage to kill me!
Am no PvP pixel, i am useless, but i wont dedicate hours/days/weeks to learn how to hop and kill at same time, just for pursuits.
It just isnt fun.

Skill level
I would do Shadow Wars if I could just run up and do them (which it seems I might be able to by clicking on some purple circle? - I rarely see them though).
Basically I like to do things on a whim, and if I have to que for something that takes more than a minute to pop (lol @ my short attention span) then I start doing something else and no longer care to do w/e I que'd for by the time it pops. IDK maybe if I had more incentive to PVP or if it was irresistibly interesting.
Reward vs Time Invested
1 capture and hold eats up the time it takes to get 15 or so keys plus 5-15 items to salvage jumping to minors. What at the Echelon Vendor is worth playing 2 or 3 annoying matches filled with bouncy arkhunters everyday for 20 days?
I've barely scratched PvP in this game because it's not very fun. The Infectors don't bother me, when I see bugs jumping at me, better to drop my pyronade at my feet and kill them and myself. Cloakers don't bother me, I can cloak too. Jumpers only bug me because it breaks immersion, but I get it that you have to play to win, and jumping constantly makes you a difficult target.
It bothers me that it takes a while for everything but waterfront to start and Waterfront is too small a map for 6v6, it would be better as a 2v2(random) and a 4v4(full group only). It bothers me that there are only two mediumish maps for bigger group capture and hold and deathmatch(observatory). It really bothers me that the funnest PvP (Shadow war) barely happens at all.
If this were the suggestions forum, I'd say that Waterfront, Observatory and Freightyard should be zoneable deathmatch and capture the flag (advanced weapon like a reaper or the rocket launcher from Dam Defense) arenas. You go to the glowy, hold E, and get put on the losing team if a match is in session or put on the team with the lowest total EGO tally if a match is about to start. Then I'd suggest that all Queable deathmatch and capture and holds be replaced with Shadow War maps. If you Que Shadow War, you don't find out until you end up on a team as to whether its capture the ark fall or kill the other team. But this isn't a suggestions forums, so we're stuck with what we have, which means that I might PvP once every couple of weeks if I'm REALLY bored, but since Major arkfalls are getting tweaked today and Minors are worth doing now, what's the point of PvP again?
If I want to waste 15 or 20 minutes on something besides arkfalls, I'll do a co-op and at least get a few blue weapons and 5 keys for my trouble.
