I have huge hopes for Ashes.. HUGE..

I'm aware that PVP is going to be a part of the game in terms of Node Sieges but will pvp appear elsewhere on the regular?

Every single video I watch involves some guys beating up Steven's tank with some dude in a staff that seems to have crazy DPS and amazing CC Combos.. Is this really going to be the game? Step out of the local tavern and poof, 3 quarter staves to the head and dead?

I'm honestly sick and tired of PVP MMO's favouring twitchy min/maxers whose sole purpose is to ruin someone's night. I just quit Eve because of it.

I want to build something, I want to create something, I want to quest for a couple years to finally get that thing of the uber and not have someone whack me for the lulz because I focus on PvE and suck at PvP. Yes, I can admit it.. I suck.

Thank you for your time.

Hey there friend! Looks like some helpful folks above already shared more details, and you can also check out more on our plans for PvP, including factors such as player flagging and corruption, in the helpful community-run wiki here.

We'll be testing many of these mechanics with our community during upcoming Alphas and Betas, to fine-tune the balance between fairness and fun!

I'm going to go ahead and move this thread on over to our Support & FAQ section and close it out, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can assist with in the meantime!
