GvG-PvP and all that jazz...

Hey Ikky.. no problem at all dude. Notice I did say THOSE INTERESTED

Thx for stayin positive.

Love you Grav.. Hope you get some good responses to this.

Gravity, I would enjoy pvp-ing with someone too. I'm not very good at it though. As far as i'm concerned PvP is a completely different mindset from PvE and from what I've seen it takes some goodly talent and flawless timing to be effective at it. Perhaps we could set up a weekly scrimmage sort of thing again just within the guild to get up to speed?. Just don't expect me to bring my survivor characters into the ring against you!

It would be truly great to get our GvG plan up and running. If anyone
is interested, Hikrar Dalamar is our GvG officer and perhaps Gravity
might be will to help him out some. I'm certainly up for some GvG! I
love PvPing.

Just a note Gravity, the ownership of towns in factions comes from Alliance battles and the associated faction points, which can be achieved in other ways than PvP. I myself am not much of a PvP person myself, but I do enjoy getting a chance to show those Luxons just who is the better fighter every once and awhile. As such, if you want to own a town we need to raise our alliance faction to around 3 or 4 million. Not that I am not giving this as a number to scare you off, but rather a goal to attain. So yes, when I get back home in July, I would love to join you for some PvP maybe.

Wildheart, thanks for that input and information. While AO is not "about" striving for mass faction it would certainly be cool to do for fun! And, have a town, would have some benefits as Gravity pointed out.

Coming from a couple experiences in PvP oriented guilds, I do have to completely agree that PvP is a completely different mindset. It's enjoyable, because it mixes up the pace of the game for you, and forces you to learn new tatics and to figure out how to adapt to situations on the fly. My recomendation is that when you think you have worked out a PvP-oriented build, test it in the Random arenas or team arenas, to see how it compares to the others out there. Or AB is another great testing ground, although it provides less insight into how it will perform in GvG because of the dimished sense of teamwork found in the larger matches.

Plus, town owership= discount merchant, and who would say no to saving 400 gold if they had to buy Sup. Salavage kit?

So....... even though I don't do any PvP I think that I'll work hard to farm some Kurzik faction.





Just to help out the guild of course.... not for any personal gain at all... (wide eyed innocence)

That's one of the primary reasons I created this second account. I can farm all day long on the Luxon side of Factions, but i would have to give up a ton of my Luxon Faction to even visit the Kurzick side. So, to even things out I basically made a second "Kurzick" account that will build up Kurz faction and help people on that side of the Great Divide as well. It *is* hard tho getting up to speed with a new account and character set. Almost like starting all over again. But, I think it will be worth it in the end.
