Player versus player combat (short for PvP), will be between the two factions( the Guardians and the Defiant) in the game,the player who disagree violently regarding how best way to deal with the apocalypse that is facing the world.
The game will feature both PvP and PvE rulesets, have both Open World PvP and 'warfront' PvP, and will feature city raids.PvP will be possible on PvE servers, but it will be consensual.Planes of Telara was planned for PvP from the beginning, and classes and abilities are balanced with PvP in mind.
Rewards for players are always in several ways. By doing PvP you can gain Favor which in return will unlock the ability to purchase Armour, Weapons and new Souls.Players will also gain Prestige by doing PvP which will allow them to rank up, ranking up allows the player to purchase new gear and get new abilities for their PvP Souls. PvP gear will increase Valor which is a stat specifically for mitigating damage received from other players. You can level with PVP, but you will need to PVE sometimes.
