Has anyone ever made you CRY on guildwars.......?

But, but... you stole HIS name, you were asking for it!

Can't argue with that.

What's so special about eve online? More hardcore? Can't be more srs than Guild wars pvp right?

I stole ANets name too, but they don't stalk me ;(

It's moar obscure. So of course it's moar hardcore.

Oh, you say that now, but we'll see who's laughing when you find Martin Kerstein lurking in your wardrobe, videotaping you while you sleep...

Don't say I didn't warn you.



Proof!

i cried from laughter after reading this

For starters when you get killed in PvP, your ship is destroyed and your opponent gets to take whatever gear survived the explosion. Then, if your clone isn't up to date and your pod is also killed, you lose skill points (loosely equivalent to experience for the sake of this discussion).

Every time you die, you and your opponents get an in-game e-mail (eve-mail) listing several statistics about the fight, who died, who else was involved, etc. These stats can be copy/pasted out of the game, giving rise to so-called "killboard" sites where corps and alliances can brag about how e-awesome they are all over the internet. Of course, not everyone is so quick to post their losses, heaven forbid it might impact upon their k/d ratio.

There's no equivalent to the arena-style PvP of most MMOs including GW, it's all open "world" style. Any player corp can declare war on any other player corp for whatever reason they like, which has seen a lot of newbie corps get griefed out of the game for no reason from the aggressors other than to try and extract ransoms from them, or to further pad their own killboard stats.

Piracy, scamming, stealing and spying are all par for the course and are often interchangeable. For example, it would be considered completely normal of me to place an alt character into an enemy alliance for the purpose of gaining access to their out-of-game forums, disrupting their voice communications, making off with alliance currency and assets and so on. A few years ago there was even a plot by some people to find out where an enemy lived in real life, and cut power to his house so they could kill the capital ship he was flying, without resistance.

I've played Eve since 2004 and with all the drama it constantly creates, sure it's made me rage now and then, but never made me come close to crying. So please forgive me if I have a little giggle about people crying about a game like GW where none of the above kind of nastiness can ever really apply.

Sounds like GW has nothing on Eve but then again I don't consider GW PvP to be all that great.

Playing eve is like watching paint dry. Maybe I just didn't play it long enough but I thought it was boring as hell.

D:

I am scared now...

Your all wrong, PvP = Vent Rage!..Simple as that really.

I've had tears from laughter, does that count?

Cried from vent rage? What an odd guild, in mine we used to just tape it and replay it for humorous intent. Even the one who raged thought it was funny.

Once. I wasn't on GW anymore when I cried, but it was something someone said to me over GW that caused it. Indirectly anyway. He told me he was going offline to have dinner.

This reminded me I was hungry, so I got a pizza out of the freezer and sliced an onion because pizza is better with onion. It was quite a fresh onion so I cried.

Sounds kinda cool I'd guess but I'd never play a game like that, where you can potentially lose stuff from one mistake. Okay you might get hacked in GW, or banned for botting but otherwise you're safe from losing your items/titles.
