PvP Event Disccusion
 

As I plan for the next event, the location is elluding me.

Greater Faydark was a good place in the sense it had a well-defined safe spot, everyone could bind there...but it was much too large.

East Freeport was good, extremely small though and the option to aggro guards was very much there...




Both zones I wouldnt be opposed to using again...Gfay would be my preferred spot though as it is larger...but I am at a loss for another location.

So what say you? It would have to be a zone large enough for over 100 people to be able to PVP in, and preferrably melee can bind there.

Arena was my first option as it is large enough for that many people and it was intended for PvP anyways. Problem is, there is no real terrain to use.

Other zones that popped into my head was North Qeynos (or south, whatever connects to the hills). It has a larger area than freeport does (I BELIEVE) and bind-melee friendly.



Anyways, post your thoughts and opinions. The sooner I get a suitable location the better...So far I am loooking towards Arena, just want some more feedback.

If I'm recalling correctly, North Karana has the gypsy camp melee can bind in, and it's a big zone that you can avoid any npc's you'd want to.

Kedge with no mobs up.

What's wrong with the arena?

Plane of Time A is sick, but obv can't bind there on a permanent basis.

It is just not very scenic. I enjoyed GFAY the most due to its enviromental factors...arena is grey and flat :/

I think Everfrost would be a very cool choice, as long as most would agree to not venture out TOO far. With all the different paths and nooks, it'd be quite the cool PVP zone to me.

unfortunately, they can not bind IN everfrost. The less zoning players have to do, the more enjoyable the event.


And the option to bind melee in a zone not normally bind-able will not be open.

I'd like to see the Arena be given a shot, personally. Between the spires around it, and the platform, there's plenty of z-axis and LoS breakers. Plus you can stage on the outside level without having to worry about getting ganked.

If it's possible to bind outside Paineel or Erudin (In Toxxulia) I think Toxxulia would be a great zone for it. Not too large, very easy to get ambushed etc. I'm just not sure if you can bind near the zone line or not.

Oh what a bummer. There are many options, all have their flaws and good points. Most zones that would be a good choice are large I.E Butcherblock, Steamfont. Gfay would even be good again, the biggest factor is that we're having a blast PVPing, the venue isnt as important. Although i do agree that environment is a big factor in making it true PvP, Arena is pretty bland.
