Imagining WoW with faction-locks.

Post » Tue Dec 25, 2012 10:50 am

I made some images of WoW, it shows both Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdom (Vanilla), it shows in red the places that wouldn't be reachable by an Alliance player if there was no open-world PvP, it also details more.
Could you imagine WoW doing this, blocking off all of this content and PvP potential? It wouldn't happen. Should the Elder Scrolls Online do it? Hell no!

Enjoy! (Remember, it's from an Alliance perspective)
If the Elder Scrolls is to become as it says 'the next great online RPG', it needs to cut the faction-locking, this isn't something a high quality game does, and it can be solved by a number of ways.
1.) A toggle on/off PvP flag. You enter an enemy territory? You will be flagged for PvP, enemy NPC's will attack you and give you a hard time. You meet a native enemy player? They will not be flagged, meaning they don't have to fight unless they flag themselves for PvP, if they attack you they will be flagged also.
2.) The Questionnaire system may work wonders for open-world PvP. Answer the question 'Do you want to PvP outside of Cyrodiil?', if you answer yes, you will fight with those who chose yes also, making sure you only fight those who want to participate in open-world PvP. If someone choses 'No' on the question, they will not come in contact on the megaserver with those that want to PvP outside of Cyrodil.
There are more ways, but I don't want to drag this out, I've been doing it enough on these forums, I just hope I can sway some of your views and make the developers change their game for the better.

Oh no another one of these threads. Atleast you made a map of some other game that has nothing to do with this one to get your point across, kudos for trying. Flagging systems are a joke and I don't want them in a game, its either locked or open world PvP. Thats my opinion, it does not agree with yours and you will never change mine no matter how many flags you throw.

Open-world PvP comes with the anti-ganking rules as well you know, if we could camp noobs then it wouldn't be fair, and this is coming from someone who really wants unlocked faction zones.
A flagging system allows those that don't want to PvP to do so, and allows those that do want to PvP to do so, there's really no problem, and did you not read the second suggestion? I'm not having this argument if you're going to be stubborn.
