Player Invaders PKing in Fractals/Raids

[NanoEliteSixSixSix.8935]

Nah, sounds like an awful idea. I love me some Dark Souls and think it's neat how they did the PvP for that game (although I am terrible at it), but I don't think that sort of mechanic would make for an entertaining time here in Guild Wars.

People already struggle in PUG's with Fractal Executioners, imagine them against real players, Lol

And that is exactly why there's no such option. It's not like we haven't more than enough griefers at teq already.

 

Hint: for the most part, the only people wanting PvP in PvE are the ones wanting to do the griefing. Not the ones that would get griefed.

Ahh - Added risk/reward thing... I doubt this would ever be on Anet's list of nice things to do because:

 

1. Will need more in-game mod presence to resolve PvWhatever complaints

2. Separate game-mode with extra rewards = Red resign v. 2? (see 1)

3. Not forcing PvP in PvE env. is one of the few remaining holy GW cows.

4. Outside Eve (where forced PvP was always builtin) name ONE (NA/EU based) MMO that raised earnings by adding forced PvP?

 

Sorry - I am sure you feel this has a lot of potential but in reality it won't happen. Why not play one of the games that were built for public dungeons/openworld PvP? (OK they are mostly deserted... See pt. 4 above.)

This would be great. Then all the PvE players who invade PvP and screw everything up for the players while they afk farm pips can feel some frustration and pain in return.

So you choose a PvP Fractal instead of a normal one and then your party is in the map along with another party and you can fight each other while going through it. Not something I'd ever want to do, but maybe some people would enjoy it. Although they'd have to redesign all the Fractals to add a second spawn point and maybe additional paths, otherwise you'd just be on top of each other all the time.

If it has PvP, then for most PvE players that I know it would not be seen as a PvE mode.

If your preferred spice is hemlock, sure. For those actually trying to raid or fractal, how would this make things more fun?

Go play Dark Souls if you want Dark Souls gameplay, bruv.

Or better yet, PvE armies conquering WvW objectives!

Not sure if OP's idea had been put down, but would it be possible to have this idea Destroyed!

Want something like "Dark Soul", log out GW2, and go play "Dark Soul" that how to spice things up.

Beside, there are already WvW and PvP. Do the OP not familiar with the game modes!???

People "CHOOSE" to play PvE because they dont want to do anything involving Players vs Players combat. They have a solid set of mind.
