How Rend Changed My PvP Mind

PvP and I have a weird relationship. When it comes to playing games solo or in a cooperative situation I can dance on the keybindings like a piano virtuoso, but put me in a combat situation in front of another live person and suddenly I end up being no better than if I rolled my face up and down the keyboard.

So with that in mind, my recent MMORPG curiosities seem to be going against type. I continue to be intrigued by developing games like Crowfall and Ashes of Creation and kind of leapt at the opportunity to give Rend’s alpha build a peek when I had the chance to. And though my time during said tests was a bit on the short side, it really did help build a small bridge between my brain and PvP.

Or to reference the game itself, let the PvP tree grow.

My Kind of PvP

As a self-described Professional Hug Ninja, I don’t often focus on the competitive nature of gaming.  I barely play fighting games, I have only succeeded in bringing my team down in online shooting matches, and I have had some marginal prowess in online battles in MechWarrior 3 and 4…and that was because of the handicap that was playing other people online over a 25k internet connection.
