PvP open world

[ChEeSe]

In Defiance I think there should be 3 different factions for open world PvP separate from PvE. The 3 Factions should be Law keepers, Echelon ,and Raiders (Change them as you see fit).In order to join a Faction you have to do a mission to get "Flagged" by the faction. Open world PvP would add a different style of game play for many players in the world of Defiance. Also there should be different contract to complete in the different factions. For example the Raiders are having a rivalry against the Echelons, so you have to kill a certain amount of Echelon or Raiders, depending on which side you are on. You could also add contracts to attack certain bases of the different factions. The higher you get in the faction of your choice the better bases that you get access to. Please consider this I think that this would be an interesting addition to the game!
I want to know what you think. Add different suggestions to make this better.
Thanks for reading!
I want to give credit to Stone solider on the Forums and to Our fellow clan mates the 23rd Stryker Echelon on PS3.

Good suggestion Cheese,
also to add is a ranking system. the more contracts you complete the higher you advance in rank for your faction, giving you access to ranked vendor equipment and or Bases with additional content.

One question though, how to separate open world PVP from PVE.

I know many players that don't want to PVP, and if this was an open world PVP game, they'd likely never play again thus hurting TRION even further. So elaborate out that idea please.

in the original post he described a flagging system for joining open world pvp.

Sounds like a great idea. How will clans fit into here? I know a lot of people inside a clan don't prefer the same faction.

Still, just use separate maps as when Shadow Wars are going on, in the "open world" and you have quests to do in that area and aren't in shadow war form... People still be trying to shoot at your vehicle and your character. Open world PVP would just make this even more of a griefing capable game because of stupids like that.

I think the way to make this work would make it a choice to choose one of the faction or stay freelance via clan leader options if you do not want to be in faction wars do not claim a side. this would force PVP and PVE clans to emerge and create a more tailored type of clan creation instead of people just trying recruit every new player that comes into the game.
another idea or maybe to go along with it, I don't know how many Ultima online vets we got on here but in UO they had two different worlds exactly mirrored Tram (PVE) and Fel (PVP) maybe something similar can be implemented where you can Phase into a PVP world or PVE world.
Just a thought.

Exactly my point... As this way would limit the risk of people being griefed by people shooting at them thinking they are in PVP form.

I think that would be another aspect or reason to join a clan with a Faction. I know if this is implemented the 23rd Stryker Echelon and all its members will be Echelon.

I don't agree, if you don't want to be a target don't join a faction. you could do separate servers PVP and PVE but without an option to switch in between the two at will. If you just had a flagging mission and then an unflagging mission and scrip cost to become neutral again would be fine.
