PvP half a year later
Hey guys! I haven't been playing Rift since the end of last summer and at that time I felt that the PvP was lacking end game content. But today I got the e-mail from Trion, the one announcing a new BG with three factions, which seems pretty cool. I'm a PvP player at heart, so an MMO has to have a good PvP system for me to stay.
So, to the question: How is the PvP now? How is the open world PvP? Is it still the same grind as it was before? What are the pros and cons?
PVP is pretty much in the same mess it's always been. Open world is either non-existant or a ganking/zerg fest. The grind is even worse (and they are adding more to it) . . .Originally Posted by Damar
The new warfront is a pretty cool concept though, it's being tested again tonight on the Test Shard, and hopefully they have some type of auto-balance or make it so people can't switch factions any time they want . . . last time as soon as one side started winning everyone just joined that faction and then complained that they couldn't find people to fight.
Hey! Well PvP hasn't gotten a big update since PvP rifts (which died out pretty fast. I love em, but they're not reward enough to do em), and I tested out 3 faction PvP myself. It was really fun. Absolutely chaotic, but had some awesome battles. If they balance out factions and lower the amount of objectives, it'll be a huge hit.

Open world is ganking/zerg fest because that is what is is supposed to be.
Also the grind has been nerfed continually since, and the gear gap has been tightened.
PvP is much better now than it was six months ago. They buffed Valor to give everyone more durability and they balanced the classes better. Open world PvP is still a joke. There aren't many reasons to be out in the world, and when you do run across someone, they're usually in PvE gear.
