World vs Worls PvP

The idea is that it's this big open-structure PvP battlefield, and depending on your personal play style, you can choose to either be a tank and go up into the front lines and enter direct player-versus-player combat, or you can play more of a support role. Perhaps you want to protect a supply train that's bringing supplies to ballistas on the castle walls, or perhaps you want to man the ballistas and shoot the ballistas at the enemy. Or maybe you want to man a watchtower way out in the forest so that you can give your team early warning that the enemy is trying to flank around the side.

Ok this sounds like huge fun. Sign me up !

i remember reading in pcgamer that they expect world v world matches to go on for weeks and that you can pop in at any time and leave at any time. sounds like fun really.

I agree. I'm a sucker for big battles and persistant events like that.

Part two of that interview is also up. I almost missed it, so here's the link just in case anyone else was unaware that it's up:

The general idea of World vs. World is appealing to me, however the (infinite?) level cap could be a deal breaker for me. I don't want be pwned because a guy is a higher level than me. I don't want to bash newer players into dust only because I'm a higher level.

If skill > grind in World vs. World, then it'll be a great way to waste time.

I'm still skeptical. All I see is a lot of hype, and it's the worst kind of hype... the "OMG this will be revolutionary guyz!!!!" kind that big games like Oblivion had. Oblivion developers couldn't stop raving about how "advanced the AI was" and how it was the most amazing feature and was light-years ahead of any game and that it would deliver you a dynamic and uniquely amazing experience.

The reality? Oblivion's AI is quirkier and dumber than a bag of rocks.

The moral of the story? 99% of the "amazing features" that are promised are never as good as they lead on to be. I predict "World Battles" will be just as overhyped, and ultimately repetitive and lame.

I wonder how they are gonna stop leechers in World vs. World considering that it says you can progress your character in it, and any thing where you can progress your character that leechers can profit from, leechers are gonna be there.

which is a good thing.

so far whats been described almost sounds like DAoC's r vs. r (relm verses relm)

GW:EN is still kind of a mystery. Is there such a little amount of new/innovative content that they aren't bothering to talk about it? I would hope not...but it isn't being hyped up at ALL.
