Looking for some decent PvP - is it hiding?

max76249 · 21 Jul 2011 at 23:50

I've been searching for a couple of weeks for an MMO with some decent PvP with no success. Tried WoW, LOTRO, RIFT, AION and Warhammer. Looking for good PvP, good graphics. Any suggestions?

Dark Age of Camelot. It was and still is the best PvP in a MMO, bit dated now and in a slow decline but the hardcore of players on US servers have been keeping it going and it's unlikely to die any year soon!

PvP is on it at every level, solo, groups and utterly huge sieges. Much fun to be had

I just wish I could play it again, but I don't have the time these days

Purely PvP MMO, indeed DAoC no doubt about it.

Comes with a warning though; if you've never played it before, goodluck

Yeah DAOC if you want proper pvp. Although if you want decent graphics it probably isn't for you (although they aren't terrible to be fair).

league of legends is where its at right now, great pvp action and totally free.

Guildwars maybe? you can make pure pvp characters and totally ignor the pve side if you wish. also looks quite good and is a one time payment game. The PvE is there for when you have a slow day and fancy doing something random

As mentioned above Dark Age of Camelot is your best bet, free to play, gfx aren't upto date but they aren't too bad either and pvp is more fun than any other mmorpg.

Max you from Harrow, i am not far from there nice to see a fellow Ocuk member local.

Heroes of Newerth! Not an MMO but pretty intense PvP team action. Seems to have more of an edge to it than League of Legends

cHk4 · 22 Jul 2011 at 09:41

League of Legends although not a MMO.

Utnac · 22 Jul 2011 at 09:47

HoN, LoL, Darkfall, EVE, Mortal Online, Guild Wars.

You won't find good pvp in a themepark!!!!

I play League of Legends now, but for me it was definitely Lineage 2 for best PvP or PvE. You could go look for free private servers to try it out.

Wish these troll namecallers would just disappear, guy was probably being genuine.

Its player vs player, the competetive element of mmo's.

Tombstone · 22 Jul 2011 at 11:37

I concur with the Daoc comments, best factional MMO PvP ever by a long , loooong way. Dated now though which might put you off. Non-factional PvP, for that I agree with Utnac, has to be sandbox for that, themepark PvP for non-factional PvP is awful.

Thanks, that makes sense. I'm not really that familiar with MMO's but after playing lots of Starcraft 2 I always think of PvP as Protoss vs Protoss...

TotalBiscuit often plays League of Legends on his stream, it looks fun so I'd give that a try.

spudbynight · 22 Jul 2011 at 13:06

What about Darkfall? Or if you don't mind internet spaceships try EVE?

Keep an eye out for http://www.primeonline.com/

At the moment apart from a few outdated games like DAOC these nothing really

A mix of TF2 and LOL (or HoN TBH, pretty similar) fills my boots these days for PVP depending on how much time I have. LoL is surprisingly addictive, and despite the limitations graphically (it's not a big budget 3D world) it's very competitive.
