MicroVolts Gameplay Video

Eric The main aenumrgt for PVP based games (I’ll assume at this point) isn’t for games like FPSes, but think more like Eve or even Lineage II or Darkfall. These PVP-centric games thrive on the fact that you can loot the bodies of those you kill, or in Eve’s case you can blow up a ship someone’s spent tons of money on and invested many hours of tweaking / building, etc. I *think* this is what Psychochild is eluding to when referencing today’s PVP games. If you hop into an FPS, everyone usually starts out with comparable gear and as you say, the main deciding factor is skill (aside from cheating with bots, etc). If you hop into Eve, it’s relatively cheap to make a suicide-ganker ship that you can use to blow up multi-million Isk Hulks even in high-sec space. So by making these things easily accessible for new / free trial / window shoppers to use, they can effectively grief people who’ve spent years getting money, materials and skills high enough to buy and pilot these huge ships.Again I *think* that’s his aenumrgt, but I’m sure he’ll clear it up. The same holds true for any game that you can lose anything you’ve invested time in acquiring. If you make trial users able to compete with people who’ve invested hundreds of hours into their character and then loot / destroy the loot on their bodies after killing them, it IS a nightmare.Now if the game was designed to where anyone and everyone could jump in and be fully equipped and ready for pvp in a few minutes / hours, it may not be so bad.
