What game has the most balanced PvP ?

RozallaRozalla Member Posts: 51

I know that there is no perfectly balanced mmorpg as far as pvp is concerned but which one's are the best  ?

Im not into Eve and I don't like gw2 because of the lack of  endgame.

I've was looking at Rift but lots of people saying it's not balanced for pvp.

Is WoW one of the most balanced ?

I will be playing a healer / support type.

Please help.

    i currently play wow and wow is probably the most UNBALANCED pvp game out there they tend to favor certain classes over other's.  i would check out something else for pvp.  or if you wanna be over powered on certain classes play wow :)

    for my money any game totally without PvP has the best balanced PvP.

    Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.

    Arguably GW1 & 2 are the most balanced. Very few MMOs balance their games for PvP, literally almost none. WAR / DAoC isn't bad, but they're both balanced around group play. GW1&2 are kind of balanced for both solo (hotjoin / roaming) and group play.

    Aside from that, I'd probably look at one of the MMOFPS titles.

    If you're dead set on a fantasy pvp game.. then possibly Age of Wushu (which isn't balanced at all, but if you feel like grinding long enough you can essentially buy all the skills available).

    The simple truth is, if you want a game focused around endgame progression, it's going to have crap balance (because they need to constantly shift the power lvls to make you feel like you're getting stronger each update). If you want a game focused around good / balanced PvP, it's going to have limited endgame (because the focus is more on the pvp than endgame progression).

    - This is essentially a case of "you can't have your cake, and eat it too".

    The MMO market is extremely stagnant right now, there aren't many, if any, worth starting up fresh.  I'd wait till a new mmo comes out that seems to interest you and start there.

    He specifically said he's not interested in gw2.  WAR, DAoC, and GW1 are all either dead or the only people left are the diehards that will hold on to it till their dying breath.. not a place you'd want to be as a new player.  The rest of your post is just garbled nonsense.

    But he did specifically say he was looking for something and you just told him to wait.

     

     

    @OP If you want to play something, RIFT is pretty balanced..pretty fun game.

    DAOC has a decent population and while it is one of my best memories, the game is very dated.

    I have friends that still play WoW and are consistently successful in just about every class they play in PvP. It really just matters your playstyle and how you like you to play your toons.

    If he absolutely must have a game right now I'd have to go with RIFT as well.  Otherwise I'd still say to wait.

    Considering WoW is one of the few games that has an arena with an active community I would have to go with that.

    I can read.

    He specifically is asking for the most balanced games, and I was pointing out that he's both discounting arguably the most balanced pvp MMO on the market (GW2), but also seems to be focusing himself around games  that are not designed to be balanced.

    I gave other examples of games that focus more on gear progression, and while they may not have balanced PvP (for the reasons I also stated), he might enjoy them anyway.

    Otherwise, (also stated in my post) he's going to have to make a decision between playing more 'endgame' focused games, or more PvP focused games. It's as simple as that, and I don't think waiting is really going to change that. There's only so many resources that can be thrown at a game, we've already seen some extreme cases, and they still are always forced to focus their design on one or the other. There's a reason heavy PvP-focused games don't tend to have a focus on endgame progression, and visa versa.

    WoW is one of the most balanced pvp right now. Well not 100% balanced, and no game can be 100% balanced but with patches per month, wow is keeping pretty good at balancing the classes. they are still issues, but just play Tera and see what "Unbalanced" really means.

    The only 2 games that i can think of, that have reasonably well balanced PVP, is Eve Online, and Planetside, although Planetside 2 does have a certain amount of P2W, the combat itself is about as good as it gets in terms of PVP. The limiting factor really, is your own skills, be it from how adept you are with hand eye coordination, to overall 'situational awareness' i don't really think any PVE based game actually does PVP all that well tbh image
