Defiance PvP?

[Dead_Phoenix]

And further more, friends can't be on available 24/7, also there's the fact that the play world is sharded, there's no gurantee your friends or guildmates will always be in the same shard as you. As of this point, I've yet to see or hear of Trion stating there's a way to force yourself into a specific shard.

Having to queue up for PvP is not that big of a deal. A few moments out of your time to queue up.

they have said friends will get priority to be in your shard. and you can group up with them

Priority doesn't mean they're guranteed to be in your shard though.

I'm guessing you are still in your 20s? I don't mean that as a slight but I say it because I used to have the same attitude you did when I was in my 20s. I had a lot more time for gaming then and I lived for PvP. I was never a ganker but I thought gankers added some additional danger to the world. I didn't mind them.

i resent that :P
i think it is more a maturity rather than age. i for one am in my 20s and i dont think anything along the lines of "i want to walk the line gaming", or the need to add danger to my games. personally, perhaps its because i have more life experience than most 20 year olds, perhaps its because of how my mind works, or even teh fact that i am training to become a pilot and that is just unacceptable thinking, or maybe its a combination of it all.

i think there are times and places for everything. this is a game that caters to PvE players mainly; no use complaining about it, find a different game for your needs. for me, Planetside fills my PvP needs when i need to blow stress and blow people up with guns, tanks, trucks, planes. but the whole game and story is focused around "kill the others", so Defiance will be my "cooperate and kill monsters game" since aliens colonial marines left me $60 short and with a bad taste in my mouth.

so for Chuck: https://www.planetside2.com/
3 factions, 3 continents (currently) and its all about who is better than the others. get your 60 guys to play that if you absolutely need to kill other players in an open environment. just beware the vanu.... they come out at night

No offense but could you define the emphasized word. After reading your entire statement I was unable to determine the definition of the word.

if you watch the ign video they play the xbox 360 version of defiance and rob hill the senior producer says in that video that it's like a shooter game where i only advantage of being high level is the experience and the better weapon of course, so if you are a low level character you kill a high level player

yes but higher you are, you unlock more perk slots to equip on top of the fact that you can unlock higher versions and more perks, and you can get better shields. have you seen the perk calculator? pre ego rating of 50, you are pretty limited.

basically while not overpowering in the idea that a higher level will auto "dodge" or your attacks will just simply "miss" like traditional MMO RPGs, you will be able to combat higher levels with lower level weapons and such. but if i have rank 3 of stealth and the crouch perks to do more damage and take less while crouched, i heavily outweigh against a new player that only has a single rank one perk and ability.

as for ganking, its basically the idea of a higher level player destroying a lower level player, or even an equal level player appearing and destroying you while you were unaware of them. i think it was originally a term made for being grouped up against and destroyed or r*ped in a video game while being unaware, or unable to fight back. now however it is used to describe anyone who kills a lower level or unsuspecting player either solo or in a group.

well high lvl does mean more/higher lvl perks, higher lvl ego power, more modded and better modded gear. so high lvl isnt equal to low lvl, but also doesnt mean they are worlds apart.

im looking forward to this being pve-co-op, with optional pvp game. does that mean i hate pvp and think they shouldnt have pvp in it. NO!!!! ive spent the last 10 months playing a pvp ONLY game. so why pve-co-op? cause i dont want a planetside with different skins.

[Dead_Phoenix]

its not really about levels, whos higher, whos not, or even what gear there sporting. which is your traditional ganker.

the thing about defiance is people gank with sniper rifles. 1 shot can mean game over. thats a whole new level of gankage.

Maybe they could remove criticals on people with big lvl gaps in open PVP

Except there is no open PvP, so they don't need to remove anything...
Yay problem solved!
