Outfit war?!

[WickedDeus]

Do you think they will add this to the game?

I know you should never want to kill people in your empire during wartime but sometimes people just piss you off. I'm hoping their going to be adding something like a dual and guildwar command like the one in EQ. That way you can kill each other without the grief points.

I think this might end up causing more of a free-for-all feel than the game was made for. Duels would be really cool, but outfit wars may be too much. Just my $0.02

[Harps]

yah i agree with militant... i think u would see it to much and i dont really think the game was made for this

[Rifle]

if you want outfit wars, i suggest you stick to Tribes and CS

[BUGGER]

Well maybe it would work, not for just getting peeps pissed off, but to choose the better one in the squad/outfit? You have a stand off and when the timer hits zero you 2 fight and first on dead loses. And it would be in a building on the empires santcuary.

Yeah thats what I mean. You don't have to do an outfitwar if you don't want to. In EQ when a guild wanted to see who was better(or if some other person/guild piss you off) they would do a /guildwar <guildname> and the other guild would have to accept, otherwise there is no war. Ofcourse if you don't accept then you pretty much lose. Works the same with duel function. I think it would be fun to have best of the best compatition between other people and outfits.

It might work in planetside, never worked in EQ though. It was just too pointless and the guilds that really piss people off (for the most part) are the high end guilds. The high end guilds won't bother because they are trying to advance to harder encounters/farming the encounters they have recently mastered and don't want to waste the time. Any lower guild (the people who would generally have the motivation to start a guildwar) would be demolished by a guild that's equipped in gear three tiers or more above them.

In Planetside though there is no gear farming and, for the most part, the encounters are dependant completely upon what the opposing faction brings to the field. Therefore people aren't trying to move on to harder encounters and it's based on teamwork and tactics instead of what equipment you've spent hours farming. If you think about it though, Planetside is almost like a guildwar where all three guilds are equipped with relatively balanced equipment.

Yeah, I believe it would be a nice feature to have.

heh maybe they can do it in the VR mode or something stay out of every1 else's way
