Can we get PvP going in patrol? That would be so cool! It'll be like the most epic of DeathMatches!^-^ Please, community! Let me know how you feel about PvP in patrol. [b]***EDITED***[/b] Patrol could basically have two options under it, PvE or PvP. Simple. [b]****EDITED*****[/b] Destiny is a video game at the end of the day[sorry to break it to anyone] and an option to PvP in patrol would be fun. [i]Agreed?[/i] [b]-----------------[/b] To prevent players from getting killed repeatedly by campers. A [b]Passive Mode[/b] should be an option in PvP for patrol. Basically, [b]Passive Mode[/b] could work in this way: - It'll cost glimmer to activate. - It'll have a [i]cool down[/i] once deactivated. The rules of [i]Passive Mode[/i] would basically be in place to prevent players from trolling and being [i]on and off[/i] of [i]Passive Mode[/i] repeatedly in a single session. [b]*[/b][i]Passive Mode would just be in the PvP option of patrol.[/i] [b]-----------------[/b] [i]Saw this awesome ideal from the comment section from @TheMidKnight [Had to add it...][/i] [quote]good idea. Put on your faction class armor and start the wild hunt~ If you're up to PvE, put on the other class armor. And also, the players in mission can not be touched[/quote] Faction vs faction would be an awesome new [b]Public Event[/b] for Destiny in a PvP version of patrol!!! [b]-----------------[/b] I been coming across many [i]PvP in patrol[/i] related posts in the forums lately. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/74262398/0/0/1 by @Antisocial http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/74000409/0/0 by @cradlegrave http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/74411256/0/0 by @Lipton Five [b]***I'll keep adding more [i]PvP in patrol[/i] related post once I come across some more.[/b] My goal is to get some awareness on this promising feature. [i]#PvPinPatrol[/i] [b]-----------------[/b] For you guys that see this as something that's [i]out of place[/i] in Destiny's lore or story than it could be separate. PvP as an option for patrol could be just that, an [b]OPTION[/b]. PvP in patrol would be were glimmer and marks could be earned. Also, since it would be an option for all patrol missions, it would still allow players to do all [i]patrol missions[/i] on planet. [b]****EDITED****[/b] Here's a small list of some possibilities a PvP [b]OPTION[/b] for patrol would bring: - People could participate in PvP with 4 awesome PvE locations. + PvP in patrol introduce new scripted and unscripted game modes for players to do. - One scripted game mode/activity is doing player bounties. A matter of fact, Bungie has recently been putting bounties on head of members of the community. Entering a PvP patrol mission and seeing someone with a bounty on their head in the wild is ideal! That'll be sooo cool! Cause than you can decide to help them survive with the bounty or take'em out for the reward. Their's endless possibilities PvP in patrol presents. - The fact that random fights can erupt between players and/or faction/clan members. That'll be cool to participate in and/or watch in [b]Passive Mode[/b]. Cool? [b]-----------------[/b] A guardian by the name of @sativa1985 had this question about [b]Passive Mode[/b]([i]Read above for more context on a Passive Mode in a PvP [b]OPTION[/b]/version of patrol[/i]): [u]His question[/u]: "[i]If they did do that why would a player have to pay glimmer not to be shot at[/i]." [u]My answer[/u]: "[i]Because Passive Mode keeps a player from participating in PvP. If you join PvP for patrol and don't want to PvP then you should be penalized. However, you would make back that glimmer back by killing other players, easy[/i]" [b]Passive Mode[/b] does have it's benefits, however. Ever wanted to see a fight, but did not want to be in it? Of course you have. That's why fighting sports exist. Now, instead of you watching UFC in Destiny you'll be watching other guardians go at it! In [i]Passive Mode[/i] you would be able to see the fight, aka live spectating, and not risk loosing your guardian's life participating in it. [b]-----------------[/b] Found an ultra-sweet [i]PvP in patrol[/i] related post. It's titled, "[b][i]Please let us kill each other[/i][/b]" by @Tosevite 187 Link to post: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/74067308/0/0 I loved this quote from his post, "[i]Think of how much more alert you would need to be knowing that you could be sniped at anytime you see the ".... Is near" pop up in the screen corner. It will add stand offs as people decide whether to be friendly or not, fire team battles, really just a whole new unpredictable environment that would take away from the monotony of replaying missions.[/i]" Just awesome!^-^ [b]-----------------[/b] Just read this awesome comment: [quote]Should just be an option while in Patrols. •[b]World PvP on/off[/b] While [b]On[/b] you can only kill/be killed by other players who have it on. [i]Once you kill a player you could have a loot multiplier, increasing drops. (Amount of Materials found, Glimmer, experience gain ect) This multiplier could stack multiple times each time a player is killed. [/i] •There should be a mild cast time/cool down involved with Activating/Deactivating [b]World PvP[/b]. There should also be a notice tht is displayed to all nearby players. (similar to how emotes, and Orbs of Light are displayed to players.) [i]Killing a player with any amount of the "Multiplier stacks" could yield a larger reward for how ever many stacks the player had apon death. Killing a player with NO stacks could yield no reward. [/i] •When [b]World PvP is on[/b] you would have a descriptive icon showing that you have gone hostile to other [b]World PvP[/b] players and, if you are in a Fireteam the number of friends in your team who are also Hostile. •You would also display your "Multiplier Stacks". •While [b]World PvP is Off[/b] you would carry on as you would currently. Unable to be affected by Hostile Players.[/quote] @CanisLupusKing [b]-----------------[/b]
