I am looking for a game to enjoy some pvp in. I really like team battles, like a WoW Battlegrounds type thing with an objective possibly. Even GW's Jade Quarry. Im currently doing Guild Wars, and I am having a feeling pvp of that type is possibly inactive by now even though the Arenas are. But it seems like all you do in them is charge 5 feet into the other group and its done in a few minutes.

I just wanted to see if any games did have fun PvP of this type or similar. And I don't play WoW anymore because people I played with moved on to other games and it gets boring playing alone. And trying to avoid $15 a month if possible.

I might just have to look to my Xbox once again to satisfy this urge, but wanted to see what others play.

Hmm, actually I would suggest Allods Online, the PvP there is getting really good. Melee Healers are yet over powered but the next patch should solve that.

At level 23-24 you get into the first contested zone called Asee Teph, and the rest of the zones is contested, at level 40 you get access to Melting Isle who is a FFA(Free-for-all) zone, where you can kill everyone except those in your party or raid, it randomly spawns chests with epic-legendary loot in.

At level 42 you get access to Arena of Death, which is a faction vs faction arena(relative small) and the gates open once every weekday and twice every weekend where you also fight for chests that spawn for epic-legendary loot

There is also Astral Confrontation, it's basically like regular guild wars, except that you fight for different islands, I dont know what the reward is since I haven't yet done it.

There is also June Catacombs which is basically a PvPvE dungeon. Haven't done this one either yet.

Also, there is a arena outside each factions capital where you can fight people of your own faction, most people use it to train various tactics etc for various classes.

June Catacombs
Melting Isle
Arena of Death

Found a article explaning how Astral Confrontation works:
Spoiler!


The game do cost some money to be able to compete in raids/pvp at endgame due to runes, but if you get level 4-5 runes, it's more than enough to be able to do the endgame stuff. It's maybe around 40-50 euro's max. The game is getting really good and the next patch will make it even better. :)

You dont have to pay at all actually, if you got time to grind some gold you dont have to worry. Next patch, Kirah the new zone will have alot of daily events, everything from mount races to scavenger hunts that award alot of gold, I earn around 200G each day from questing and crappy loot from dungeons, apperantly the russians who already got the patch earn around 2000G aday, but the prices is rather high due the huge amount of gold just laying around collecting dust, so I guess it will even out.

I also forgot about Astral ship PvP that have been in the game since day 1, basically at level 35 you can buy a ship for 1500G, but you prolly wont be able to buy it to around 37-38 since you need to collect 3 contracts from 3 various reputations that is from higher level zones. But when you're out in the astral(basically the space) you can meet other ships, AFAIK you cant kill same faction ships, but wouldn't surprise me if it did. But you can jump over to your enemy ship and blow it up etc, but before you do make sure to check their goldchamber since they may have picked up some juicy loot that you can steal. Since in the astral you can find various islands that got 2-3 bosses that you have to kill within 45 minutes that drop both rare and epic chests. It also drops legendary chests but then you have to go deeeeep into the space and have a really good equipped ship to survive. But the astral pvp rarely happens since the astral is really big and you would be surprised if you even saw one ship during a 3-4 hour trip in there.

Astral Ship PvP = pirates = awesome




Allods is a great game, sadly many dont give it enough time before they give up, many seem to be afraid of the cash shop, but runes is the only thing you need and with a little bit patience, you dont have to pay crap, I got many in my guild that got level 5-6 runes that payed little to nothing at all. The rest of the cash shop is pure vanity items, like mounts, costumes and exp scrolls etc. My cash shop source is a level 28 guy who got around 30.000G and do surveys everyday to get gpotatoes, and since he is from netherlands he can earn around 10K gpotatoes on a week with alot of accounts. 10,000 gpotatoes = around 100 euro, give or take.

Please explain the cooldown thing more, what class you use etc. If you mean that some skills got 5 sec CD and some got none, it's basically to balance out the classes and so people cant spam their best skill for eternity.

Hehe, the old "why no auto attack feature". What they said was that it was planned at first, but they changed it since you get so many skills early in the game that you no longer will need auto attack. I've never even used my basic attack since I just started using Powerful Blow directly when I was level 1.

I picked i think a scout guy, and I used I think the auto attack, one minute it was a 1.5 sec cast (quick shot or something) the next it was 3, and the cooldown went from 2 to 4 seconds? Something like that, not those exact #s.

Your cooldowns change depending on the type of weapon you use, IIRC.

Not much experience with a scout but it could be the penalty they get when their targets get within a certain range.

Yeah, that is correct. When they get into a certain range, I think it is like 10metres or so, you get a debuff which make the cast times longer, scouts is a bitch to level in the beginning, it isnt before level 30 they start to shine.

Not too much no. They ruined jobbing, and it will be forever and ever till I would get to actively participate in a FW, if people are even left to play with when that time comes. So yea that as well as some other reasons had me quit.

On topic:

I plan to look into Rift (even though its p2p) since a friend of mine is on there and enjoying it, but I'll also try and research Allods as well. Thanks for the info Hej
