Hello Classmates,
This week I played a few times with groups. I started out on my own character whom is still a low level and I tried to play some player versus player games.
PVP (player versus player), I went into a battleground and its 10 players of each faction on both sides. 10 on the horde side and 10 on the alliance side. The battleground is called Warsong Gulch and the way to win is to get 3 flag captures before the other team. Also you can not gain a flag if the other team has one. So you have to take out the enemy flag carrier to get your team to gain a flag. I’ve played this before but I’m not to great because it’s really fast paced and crazy.
I went around attempting to take out the opposing faction and my character kept dying. I wasn’t to upset with this because it was still really fun for me. I don’t think anyone else really knew what we were doing besides a few elite people. Even at our low level a lot of people were yelling at us new comers and telling us what to do. Eventually we lost and it took about 10-15 minutes for this to happen with the elitist guy screaming and cussing at everyone. This didn’t seem to good of an experience.
Then I tried out PVE, Player Versus Environment. I went into a dungeon/instance. A dungeon is where you fight many items and get cool gear and items that you character can use to become better. I queued into the random dungeon finder and it brought me to the instance called Ragefire Chasm. This is a instance for levels 10 to 21, so that would mean new comers or people that have made new characters. You are in a party with only 4 other people (so 5 in all), and I explained at the beginning that I’d never been in the place before and everyone was very nice. They explained to just follow them and try to hit everything that I could. This made it a bit better for me because I could tell some of these people had never been here before either and we were all starting new. It took us about 30 minutes or so to get through it just because we were all confused on where to go but it was very nice and everyone seemed kind.
In conclusion, it seemed that PVE was a better experience than PVP. The people in the instance were thoughtful and cared about your experience and how they were to you. In the PVP they just wanted to yell at you and be elitists.
Till next week :)

Hi Megan,
ReplyDeleteI have been finding a lot of issues with some people taking the game way to seriously over in the star wars mmo and I can say that it can be annoying and sometimes just blatantly stupid about why people get so upset over a game. I also agree that there are people who are very nice and help show you the ropes and within an online game environment that needs to be of focus to help nurture the newbies and create a more welcoming place to play.
Good Post,
Miles Swanson
