Title: Plz either make nodewar/siege playable 24/7 or introduce a large scale pvp mode which is important for game world and fun and playable 24/7.

An enduring confrontation style RBF on a bigger map with mounts and fortresses etc could be cool. Lasts for 1 week, open throughout the day (say, 10am to 12pm?) can hot join, but you join one side for the duration of the week. Rewards based on activity, bonus rewards (main attraction) through completing objectives, winning for the week gives XYZ to participants.

i wish there was a gamemode similar to what planetside 2 offered, but it simply does not fit into bdo.

Well, for sure they could add another organized mass fight features. 

There are not even enough palyers to run RBF 24/7, a largescale mode would be dead 70% of the day.

Not even nodewars are that popular. Heck not even bdo PvP is.

As long PA don't care to fix the fundamental issues with the combat and to balance the classes any such attempt of content would be DOA.

Proper battlegrounds would be in theory nice content for the game, content what this game needs. However aslong as the PvP is AIDS, majority of the players will going to avoid it, hence it would be a waste of time untill PA fixes the PvP which never will happen.

Another thing is that the devs are totally clueless, just look at valencia RBF...

How does guild wars 2 do it these days? As I remember, it was server versus server but they changed it when they unified everything. I hear the PvP in GW2 is the best part of the game although I tried to get back into the game several months ago and wow, the combat is sucky wucky. The visuals also made my eyes bleed a little. I think BDO spoiled me rotten.

Back to my question though... What's the difference between BDO's RBF and GW's whatever they use these days? Why is GW's PvP so popular and liked? Can that translate over to BDO?

GW's objective-based owPvP was called World vs. World. It took place on massive instanced maps that pitted 3 servers against each other. Each server got a home base with a specific color (red, green, or blue) at one corner of the map and could push out into the surrounding territories to cap objectives and flip them to their color. As far as I can tell no other MMO has done anything like it yet - if I had to give it a number I would say the WvW maps were 50x bigger than the RBF maps, so a little bit incomparable :)

While BDO's combat is definitely flashier than GW2's, I would say the biggest advantage that GW2's largescale PvP had over BDO was lack of player collision. This meant that big zergs of players could actually clash out in the big fields, with the front-line melees in the middle duking it out, the ranged archers/mages on the outside throwing in damage, and the assassins dodging in and out of backlines to pick them off. In BDO the combination of insane CCs and player collision doesn't really allow for that, and is the main reason why group PvP in sieges or RBF has never really felt rewarding or tactical imo.

It's hard to say witch game have better PvP combat since both are kinda bad, but the lack of collision defiently a positive in gw2. Also the map in gw2 is significantly better than the bdo maps, and the devs don't even have clue how to make a proper PvP bg or arena in bdo, just look at those dogshit AOS maps kek

Very true x) Their battle map designs could us some work. They should really just be big open areas with zero ground clutter and a couple of high-grounds scattered throughout.

Weren't they working on a Calpheon vs Valencia sort of gamemode, where they stated players of all gearscores could do some part in the battle?

It would be nice if they continued working on that and effectively get BDO's version of a combination of GW2's open world events and the huge WvWvW's they had.
