I know the guys down at webzen have some amazing ideas for pvp i mean come on FPS. But lets get down to the point, Not only am i hoping they have a great pvp, but an amazing PVE, endgame expierence, Like raiding the opposite faction or taking down end game bosses, and epic battles that requires alot of teamwork and skill. The pvp I am hoping is not just going to be a crap load of people joining and going afk for the hole battle to rack in some points (yes points, im hoping they have a point system in which you can buy new gear / items depending on your rank or how many points you have to spend on PVP items.) lol i really dont know what im saying but Im trying to express my excitement over huxley. I have been playing wow toooo long, and i dare not go back to Dark age. lol Some one who else is excited post your rants and raves in here this is baisicly a fantasy post.

I doubt people will be going AFK in the middle of this game, you probably earn money in kind of a "bounty". Like, you get your money based on how many people you killed and how good they are with like levels compared to you. Of course I am not sure about that, but it does seem like it would fit, I hope that you can't just stand in the back of the battle and gain points or money.

[yellosnolvr]

I hope you have to work for your money...and i do believe there's a market district in the cities so you could get money from trading.

[JoeyBagaDonuts]

Yeah I also hope that there's some sort of auctioning place as well, where you could put items, weapons and gear up for auction.

[Vital Factor]

It would be nice if there was an auction house...so theres not a massive amount of spam in cities and what not, all though im sure that people will and would do it anyways. Or maybe they could at least make different chat logs or options to block out spam...

EDIT: also, I hope that team/clan/guild pvp take some team strat and not just everyone shooting at the other team and hope your composite score beats the other team...a little more squad based i guess im trying to say

Correct me if I'm wrong but has webzen said that there will be player housing?

If so it would be cool if players could run a sort of shop out of their home, or just have a shop in the city for that matter (maybe only people who can pay a lot to rent a space since I guess city space will be limited).

but anyway, it would be cool to head over to someones shop and see what they have.

Kind of like Star Wars Galaxies where you could have a shop and people would go to it and buy whatever you were selling.

I'm hoping (and assuming) there will be an auction house as well



As for endgame PvE, from the cinematic videos they have, it kind of looks like there will be a big boss that we'll get to fight. And just the fact that they have a PvE system makes me think it would be strange if they didn't have the typical run through a mission with a big boss at the end.

As for PvP. I'm also curious as to if there will be a sort of "final battle" situation. I'm pretty sure there won't be an "end" to the war, but I wonder if there will be a certain battlefield that's basically like the outer defenses of the enemies capital or something. Maybe that one would be the big epic battle (since there won't be any shooting in capital cities I'll assume they can't be attacked).

There are "guild" housing i belive i read o say 2 years ago....where the more prestigous your guild gets the bigger/better housing your clan gets. Im pretty shure their is a auction house.....i mean come on its a freakin huge azz city from what ive seen.....lol

I re-read an interview that talked about the player housing a few days ago, and that got me all excited again haha. I forgot that we will get some kind of housing whether it's only guild housing or player housing. Along with that I'm wondering if you'll be able to customize your house. So far Huxley has shown to be pretty good on the customization side of the game, and a customizable house would make it that much better.

if anyone has played Star Wars Galaxies, you can basically do anything in that game lol. You can buy a house, and then buy a whole bunch of stuff to put in that house, anything from couches to tables/chairs/lights/rugs, and even a fountain if you really wanted to :D (I did). I'm hoping Huxley will have something like that, just so I can kill some time if I don't feel like fighting or anything.

Back to topic though. Since we really don't know much about the main mechanics of the game, we can't really know if sitting afk in a battle will do the afk player any good. You might need to actually get out there and capture some zones or kill some people to get points. But then again I'd assume you'd get some points if your team wins the battle so that might be enough to persuade some afkers to join.

But hopefully, with this being an FPS, more people will sign onto the game to actually have fun, instead of signing on for the sole purpose of leveling the character. Hopefully Huxley won't be one of those games where people start taking it so seriously it becomes a second job and they're willing to do anything to improve their character (including going afk all day in battles). Hopefully people play Huxley because it's actually fun, leaving no reason to just sign on and go afk in hopes of getting a new pair of boots or something.

i concur and there are so many things i keep thinking about that would make the game really B A like planning b4 a battle happens clans can size each other up, or have like a country type battle where teams or clans decide who go where to fight. i dunno like have a general command the fight people getting redirected to help others. maybe thats taking it to deep i dunno

[zeekgenateer]

The only problem is that the battlefields will be extremely huge, and usually well run clans don't have 200 members, or even 100. So 1 clan won't be able to control an entire battlefield. I think that users can try to become a leader and people vote, or the leaders are picked by their command score, how well they've done with tactical and strategic things, plus maybe one half of their kills.

As for housing, if included it should be awesome. I remember guild buildings and towns in SWG, and they were pretty sweet. But who can tell if Webzen will screw it up.

All I hope for in PvP is balanced weapons and characters, an ability to command troops, good maps, and good people to play with. If you're stuck with people who are idiots and decide to camp, it will get annoying. Usually though this doesn't happen in other games I play, so I hope Huxley won't have any n00bs. Newbies are fine, just listen to the vets and they're alright.

haha funny if we all started playing it and it totaly suckd lol the pain the horrer but im sure it will be awsome. amd im especially looking forward for the pvp/pve battels

[Grind]

hahaha if this game flops we can all just come back to the forums and talk about how pissed we are. Then we can start our own gaming company and make our own game.

I'm actually really looking to the battles that are PvP/PvE as well. I love how they describe it as you fighting through a PvE mission and then you stumble upon some enemy players that are doing the same mission and you can either join them to finish the mission together or kill them and finish the mission yourself.

Sounds awesome :D I wonder if the PvE/PvP missions will have better rewards because it will be kind of more dangerous to fight monsters while there are enemy players possibly stalking you, waiting to strike at the worst time possible.

I would just ungroup with those ppl I'm sure ppl will do that try to go afk while you do all the work, happens on planetside all the time but you just kick them or leave group.

I hope there a PvP rewards but not like star wars galaxies where the PvE'ers demand to have access to the PvP rewards without PvPing.

[Grind]

Well to level up completely you have to do both PvP and PvE so whichever you like to do more, your going to have to do at least a little of the other to get to level 50

[Zw0lf]

I like the fact they make people PvE to level along with PvPing. I enjoy both personally but prefer to PvP mainly because all the FPS games I have played the PvE part (single player) gets boring really quick. The AI just wasn't there at the time. I'm hoping the AI in this game can somehow learn from you and counter if you constantly do the same thing.. i.e. jump-attack-jump-attack.

Luckily you'll be able (and maybe even usually have to) PvE with a group. So you can go into whatever dungeon and kill Hybrids with your buddies :D
