Love how crowded it still gets over there

Group sizes are actually growing from what I can tell on PlayStation. State of the game feels different over here.
Lots of PvP type folks to. Some of the guilds seem to be doing great.
The eco system seems healthy. Some downside on RB but it's usually because we're in Trezterra just killing each other.
We're forcing sone people to guild up and start communicating so they can survive their boss runs. PvP players are like wolves. We're a healthy part of the ecosystem.
I think the culture on PS4 is generally more pvp oriented than Xbox, so your open world is always going to be more lively. A lot of us on Xbox don't even go into Tristezza anymore to avoid PKers :p
You might be right about that - probably because most of your PvP players that you would have pulled in at launch - decided to leave for some reason. That is usually a result of PvE only players being hyper vocal about PvP players not being a welcome addition to the community. Or the PvP not working.
Some would be happy that happened - but PvP players are a huge market and no one who wants a game to have a long term future - should be glad they left. That's a lot of revenue walking away from the table that feeds actual studio growth.
PVP players also force peoples hands about banding together. We actually cause community development in game.
I think the conflict comes mostly from being in a game with open world pvp but no real open world pvp objectives. To PVE players who look at the world and see all PVE content, PVP feels disruptive. And a lot of the early pvp players left xbox because open world pvp felt so incomplete. I did a video on how that could be overhauled too
Hmmm. That's interesting. I find the Titles and Trophies for Open World PVP so hilarious! I recently got a trophy called Gruesome Collection and a Taunt Emote etc.. I also got another title for killing every class/race combo in the game. I think that stuff is all great. I also loved how it picked up that I was hunting elves and Ippin (two races my character paticularly loathes) so I hit the trophies for those first.
I wonder if there are fame associated Titles or just the same ones that sound evil that I am getting while role playing a murderer? Such as 'Ippin Hunter' or what have you. I really want the title 'Makes Bad Choices' (So funny!)
Also - I had my wand in the marketplace last night so I was using a junk stick to get through Trezterra. I had no Notoriety by that point so I used a Declaration of Peace scroll and it worked perfectly. When people attacked me it said 'Immunity'.
2 mages (one level 40 and the other a level 37 I had fought the night before) were going ape shit trying to shoot me. It did nothing. So the game mechanic to avoid PvP while in dangerous areas is working like a charm.
I think there were some titles along the way when I got my fame up. You get a mount when your fame hits max. Would love to get my hands on the taunt emote and bad choices title one day
Wait - A MOUNT?????? Now I gotta try that/on the notoriety side first! I had been letting my Notoriety tick down each day so I could avoid getting attacked by guards.
No mount for notoriety, just fame https://youtu.be/p_pu34BA0K8
