  Here are a few tips for anyone else that would like to try their hand at pvp.  For most these are common sense but there are always some that don't get it so here goes.  Always be respectful in your communications, just as you (hopefully) would communicate with people in real life.  Nothing gets people crossways faster than trash talk.  You wouldn't say those things to people you meet in real life, don't say them here.  Ask questions.  Pvp'ers are a friendly bunch and enjoy helping others learn about that aspect of the game.  Clear people on the bounty board.  Occasionally some jerk will counter bounty you for a 10 stam clear but you'll quickly learn who they are and clear them with 100's the next time.  Most people really do appreciate an honest 10 stam clear so just jump in there and do it.  Want to try your hand at "safe" pvp first?  Participate in gvg's where you will learn about gear and buffs.  Most importantly, have fun and enjoy the experience.

I would add - join a pvp guild... they got your back...

Not necessarily.

I'm not in a "PvP Focused Guild" and there are plenty of my friends who still "have my back". Having people who would fight for you doesn't mean that you're in their guild, it means that at some point or another you gained their respect and support and that carries over time.

True. But why wait? Instant support. :)

Lol do you really think if a player joins a PvP guild they are guaranteed support? Our guild kicked someone recently who couldn't grasp the idea of being responsible for their own actions. We are always willing to take people in and teach them the ropes of PvP. The unwritten code can be confusing. But they are taught to deal with it if they hit someone and get hit back. Or as we say... no crying when you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar.

I was adding to yote's list. Just doing one item on his list isn't going to guarantee success. You don't think its good advice?

To join a PvP guild? Not really. I learned about PvP while running a non PvP guild. I asked questions, treated people with respect, worked the bounty board to get the hang of it. And as I made friends I realized that PvP is where the fun was for me. There are several well known PvP players who stay in 1-2 person guilds and do just fine.

OK then... guild doesn't make a difference... who knew... I didn't.

I could have told you that, Chewy, dear.   Many PvPer's have vast personal alliances that encompass all of Erildath, making the entire place their guild.  

 

 

Again, somebody define "PvP guild" for me.....

Hence the reason people scream there are 4 guilds after them when it is more like 2 people from one guild, 3 in another guild, etc.

I think there's a lot you don't know, old boy. It's when people start to assume that they make an ASS out of U and ME...

Thanks for the clarification. I've been telling players who wanted to pvp to join pvp guilds. Didn't realize that was bad advice. You learn something new everyday.

It's a good thing you are a strong advocate against name calling.

I never said I knew a lot. Quite the opposite actually but I guess there is one thing I know more about then you :P

I wouldn't cal it bad advice. Like Penny asks, "Define a PvP guild?" Some players assume since there are a few players who attack others that they are a PvP guild. But is it really? Is that all they do? Are they even good at it? So be careful labeling people or groups. Most of the time those presumptions are inaccurate. A little piece of friendly advice. Make friends with some players who you know are enthusiasts, ask questions, get to know them. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Who's baiting? You? Stop with the control issues. You started the thread and so many others but you don't get to moderate them.

i didn't demand anything or give out orders.. i just asked nicely..

 

thanks for for continuing ruining my spirits with this game like many others have.. i've been mocked, insulted, and attacked via personal messages from just posting a couple PvP threads.. i've tried to remain calm and determined to continue a discussion i think could benefit the thought process of the cows when they decided to change PvP for the better.. tis why i made a thread of what DO or Don't you like about pvp....

 

a lot of players have come in here to just smash down players' opinions on PvP instead of displaying their own on the subject and moving on.. the way some players talk to others can be so disheartening to read...

 

i hope those who have come in here and have stated their opinion and have stayed out of the mud slinging come back to other discussions and aren't put off from the forum due to toxic individuals.. i thank you for your time for stating your opinion and taking the high road

That kinda says it all, utter disgrace. (Polite version for the sake of the kids).

 

Cheers.
