This has been the only thing to bother me in GW, that lack of cross between the 2 "modes of play" they are far too separate, and don't have a thing to bring them together. This is only 1 idea for a PvP/PvE cross, feel free to post your ideas too.

(do not include the NPCs from HB and AB into this debate)

As for PvE/PvP cross, I am meaning more like...Territory Dominance style of play (If you have every played Shattered Galaxy, you know exactly what i mean)

Easiest way to describe would be to take Factions, with the 2 sides already discerned, and have the teams actually fight over the PvE territories of Lower Cantha, in a PvP/PvE cross battle. Player would choose an area taken over by the enemy faction and be teleported to a safe zone in that region where the 2 teams are fighting to take control of it. Monsters would still be present and would make it much harder for players to move around and directly assault eachother.

When the enemy team and all monsters are cleared from the region it would be put under their control and they would move onto the next area. Controlling areas would have benefits of course, use of the outposts, and perhaps specific services that could only be used in those areas.

Post your own ways that they might be able to cross PvP and PvE into the same style of play.

if you mean the heroes in hb,they arent npc's,because they are player-controlled.

and either way,/notsigned.
factions has a pve/pvp cross because of a feud between 2 alliances,which is nderstandable.but there are no causes for that in the others.

/unsigned.

What about people who only do PvE, like me? As it is, I get annoyed when I can't get Blessing of the Kurzicks to farm faction when Luxon controls an outpost. I think they are both fine the way they are.

missed the point completely, it would be a new gamestyle, that was only an example

Sounds almost like AB, but with pve monsters? Could be interesting.

As for sides, tyla is right. For cantha, kurz and lux fight each other. But elona? Its pretty much kournans vs everyone else. And since we can't side with kourna...
Same with prophs, about all you could do would be mantle vs shining blade, and even then we become enemies of the mantle pretty quick.

Interesting idea, but don't see how it'd work as is.
