    In no doubt, the amount of procedurally generated equipment will make PvP extremely fierce, fast-paced and unique experience...

    BUT, will teamwork be used?
    Will people just become one-man armies and don't give a [...] what happens to their teammates?

    Will there be class-esque setups? (think Team Fortress)
    Or special items to aid such gameplay - I mean "ammo boxes" or "mediguns".

    Discuss it here.

    Anyway, i dont think classes would fit too well with the gameplay, its a idea for certain PVP servers, but if it forced in the game i dont think it will be a good idea.

    I think there should be, like I've said in one of my suggestions, group missions. Which can pertain to things like even harder then normal planets that you practically need another person to even survive on, group missions would have very good rewards though of course.

    Well, the aforementioned Arena Asteroids seem to fit. They are supposedly to have built-in games with score. I'm hoping for custom gametypes.

    I think this thread is more devoted to speculation than it is to coming up with fully fleshed out suggestions.

    This would be a great feature, instead of having your friend/s run off because everyone is decked in the buffest armour and swinging around the most badass weapons; you would need to really talk and watch each others backs.

    I'm expecting to see absolutely no teamwork in the pvp arena mode haha. There will probably be limitations to what you can and can't bring but there probably won't be class setups (like team fortress) to give specific roles to certain people. Honestly I hope there will be class systems but that would require extra work and I'm still a skeptic coming from Terraria.

    Yes, there will always be teamwork. Especially in this game. There could be helping items, I don't know. Getting your teammate's back by shooting the same monster will always be a helpful aspect, but a healing gun like the Medic has would be way too TF2 in my opinion...

    Armor and tools that create "auras" that empowers allies, crowd control aspects in weapons/gears...
    Thats one of the ideas the devs can come up with that might/will encourage teamworks.
    By simply enabling teammates be to see through the other's line of sight will be great in teamwork, either in fights or just co-op exploration/building sillyness

    Maybe so..
    But more or less I think this game will go along the lines of WoW (for multiplayer) or Oblivion (I say Oblivion because I personally dislike Skyrim)!
    ~ Thank You!

    I think teamwork in PVP has a lot of potential in Starbound, and I really hope to see such things as a tank, healer, etc. As it was, Terraria's PVP was pretty lacking in variety, so I hope that Starbound will develop on it more.

    Nice idea, very very nice o_O
    Adding tanking and healing would so spice things up ^_^ But since there won't be any classes, they have to come through items and their stats...hmm:geek:

    Tanking, Dps, and Healing. Nice indeed! However the stupid rage of WoW copy or even Skyrim copy would come into play :mad: I hate trolls!

    I'm hoping teamwork will be a factor. One to lure them in, and one to shoot the cannon.

    Hate is too strong of a word, but dislike is too weak...
    Sometimes things are just so complicated.
    Damn trolls!

    " What gonna work TEAMWORK Whats gonna work TEAMWORK!" <-- Good time Good times. Though yes Teamwork that would enhance the gameplay would be greatly awesomesauce!

    This is the one game where I think a Medigun like the one from Team Fortress 2 would actually make sense

    Hm. A custom game-type involving possibley maybe just so but maybe...........
    ....Customisation on par with Firefight in Halo Reach? This game has so much potential that i hope that Multiplayer won't just die of like in Terraria, where it barely functions.
    Well i'm off to make a suggestion in the suggestion section off the forum based around PvP Multiplayer. Goodbye.
