New to PVP

[Distratus]

Is this game going to be anyones first real pvp game? And i stress REAL PVP!

[Krutt]

Yup...did some in swg, but as a whole im a die heard pve guy.

[Cilus]

I've played a couple of other PvP games. I enjoyed them, but I really like how SWG did PvP. It was global PvP by choice. I hate FORCED PvP no matter where you go.

I cant wait to bash some skulls!

Finally the Frag-tal will be able to annihilate ... sigh the good ole 'days of Nagafen...

I'm completely new to these games period. Abigor has got me hooked on them. I love them though. I have always loved gaming with RPGs and regular console and PC games. Playing WoW and what little I got to fool around with Vanguard just really has fascinated me. I love them!

I can't wait to be able to play AoC I think its awesome that it will be a "real" PVP. I am anticipating building a Halcyon Affinity city and waging war on the other guilds and towns. I can not wait to slaughter them all! Its going to be so much fun...

PvP sounds more like it's extracurricular in this game. I miss games where you didn't have a choice. You had to travel through PvP zones. In this game though it's totally consensual and the devs said you could make it just fine without ever fighting another player so I don't know that I'd call it 'real' pvp. Don't get me wrong though, I'm sure it will be a big part of the game and fun to do.

The consensual part is for the reg servers.

Windo, what class you looking at?

And you too Karyssa!

Don't really know enough about classes yet though I picked a Stygian Necro for the roster. Finding out more about the game seems like melee will be much cooler but I still need answers to questions.

Careful, casters have spellweaving available to them which looks freaking badass, not to mention the fatalities that involve spells should be interesting.

I bet a player who masters when/where to use spellweaving will own hardcore.

Those who go overboard or use it when they are vulnerable will just become another players statistic.

[Sumuji]

1- Do they have fatalities and can they dismember just like melee?

2- Do they just use magic all of the time or are they expected to use a weapon as well? ie....Do they have enough mana to take on multiple mobs at once like melee can hit multiple stuff in one swing arc? If they are expected to melee can they take hits or are they down in two hits like typical casters?

3- Useing spellweave puts you in a trance like state so I'm guessing you'll be vulnerable. So is spellweave mostly reserved for like grouping when you're not getting hit or maybe if you have the mob rooted?

4- What are the Necro's abilites? Feat choices?

Yes I am. lol

[Distratus]

I think all classes will have a special finisher move.
