PvE vs PvP

pvp: once you hit lvl 30, you go whitename, and can pk/be pk'd other players at will (with the exception of bluenames). you CANNOT turn off pk mode

pve: once you hit lvl 30, you have the option to turn on pk mode at your free will. if you turn it on, you go whitename, and can pk/be pk'd other players at will (with the exception of bluenames). you must wait at least 10 hours before turning pk mode off. if you kill other players, you must wait a certain period of time for your "infamy" to wear off before turning pk mode off (you still have the 10 hour timer running in the background regardless, so you will be in pk mode for at least 10 hours). the timers only run while the character is actively logged in.

In Lost City (PvP), you can be killed at any time by anyone over level 30 if they choose to go after you.

And yes, you will be killed more then a few times. That I am sure of. Although I will maintain that the rpk is nothing like it used to be and it is much easier to get to the higher levels without much in the way of being pk'd. The lower level areas are for the most part empty from what I see.

There really is no big difference in otherwords.

The only big difference is you can be ganked after 30 by lvl 80 which shows no sign of skill.It also shows no respect of other players at that lvl.It is unbalanced in that way I believe in more balanced pvp game.

I like the pve in this game but the pvp needs balancing.

On the PvE servers, I've heard that being white will make you get pk'd a lot. Is that true? I wish these servers were all set up my the MY servers-- all of them pvp, so the pvp isn't concentrated on one server and people can choose whether or not they want to pvp without singling themselves out as 'carebears' or the like. It'd be nice to play with some 'carebears' every now and again without have to re-roll.

<--- is carebear.... b:sweat


and yes, it is true. on pve servers, if you go whitename, it means you WANT to pk, therefore there is no law. no matter what you are doing, you are open game. you can be the healer in a party for a world boss, if youre whitename, you are open game, regardless of the fact that it would wipe the world boss party

Differance between PvP and PvE servers hmmmmmm

PvP servers QQ more in forums about being pked than those on PvE servers do.

If you wanna PK OP dont come to this server. Its a sad state of affairs. During my short 40 hour try at PvP I got ambushed only 10 times. All of the other players 90+. I got killed twice and the rest ran like mad, and/or disconnected (must have been alot of bad connections b:chuckle ). Freaking lame, real crippled.

If you wanna PK go with the pros at a PvP server. I didn't like it, and I think I would still choose PvE any day regardless of how good my experince would have been. If you want to "beat" the game go PvE.

just my 2 cents, your milage may vary.

Pvp compared to pve at times may seem very unbalanced. Especially if you are on the losing end of the battle. But pvp is like all out war. No age limits or level restrictions other than the lv30 part of it. It does seem unfair for a lv80 to gank a lv30. But if you compare it to real world wars, some countries may have stronger military force. Some may choose to nuke while others may not even have nuclear capabilities. The stronger force will always win. Balance doesnt exist and never will in those situations. Its like telling a country with armor tanks that it is forbidden or against the rules to attack a smaller country because they dont have tanks at all. That would never work. Imo on a pvp server once you reach lv30 you are considered fair game. If you cant accept that then choose pve instead. I think choosing when to kill or be killed is the real inbalance.

PvP Servers: Mass of drama and QQing about getting ganked, killed by level 8xs
PvE Servers: Tea-parties with biscuits.

Personally, I'm rolling Assassin on LC when the expansion comes out. b:dirty

If you have a choice, roll HL. The ping is a lot less, so the lag must be better, right?

Not really, we get huge lag spikes. Also the server status is always high from people being on all the time. That deals more lag than needed.

I think the PvP system is mostly balenced..... open PK is the way to go.... but i think the item drop system needs some work.

Here's what i'd love to see

White named players can not drop gear they are wearing, but may drop a random item from thier backpack if killed

Pink named players, same rules apply as white name

Orange named players, cannot drop gear they are wearing, however are more likely to drop more gear from backpack than white or pink named players.... this ensures a couple freebee kills

Red named players, will drop ALL items from thier backpack, and have the chance to randomly drop a piece of gear they are wearing.

NO MORE GUARDIAN scrolls!!! If you go red and you die, you stand the chance of losing gear PERIOD!

The above system is actually modeled on one of the most successfull and popular PvP games ever created, and it just friggen WORKS!

I played Perfect World MY a lot, reached lvl 90 ....

Here is how it works,

- once you get lvl 30 + your name is white and you can get pk and pk any other lvl 30+ players.

- If you pk a White named players, and you do kill him, your name goes orange ...the more players you kill, the more red your name gets.

- Having an orange to blood red name means you can drop items when you get pk by other players.. YOUR items. The more red your name is, the more chance you have to drop your items if you get kill by another players.

- PKs gets your name more and more red... also each kills gives you a 4 hours debuff ... ( the debuff is the your name.. in red, and makes you drop items if you get pk. )

Dolls, wich are items you can buy from item mall, can reduce chances of droping items, sometimes, even when I had a doll in my backpack, I still droped an item from my backpack ... like a hierogram

- So let's make an exemple:

- I'm a lvl 70 and my name is white .. I go around and the guy keep Kill stealing me ... his name is white too and he's lvl 67 ( red names for 4 hours each kill for any PK, whatever their lvl is. )

- I attack him !

- Both our names goes pink ( in combat vs another player ) fight end, I killed the guy .. My name is now orange, and It will stay the same color for the next 4 hours, then it will come back to white.

- If I kill another player 2 hours after that incident, My name will get more red, and another 4 hours debuff will be add to the 2 hours left I got from killing the first player. I have more chance to drop an item if I get pk now.

---

So in Perfect World MY, it's not worth it to go around and pk everyone for fun, you'll get a red name and people will hunt you down to make you drop items. But, if you argue with someone and your just tired of his stupid ****, you can go ahead and kill him.

If you attack and kill someone that has a PK debuff ( orange to blood red name ) you WONT get a debuff b:laugh Your name will go pink during the fight... and after you kill him, your name will stay pink for around 30 secs and then go back to white.

Is there one of the 2 kind of servers in Perfect World Int'l that has the same system ?

If not, then it's a big fail cause Perfect World was never meant to be played another way.
