Quote:Oh hell no! Providing they give a round of free transfers, I'll put a load of my toons onto Defiant and Union (I'm UK based but have been on US servers for a long time). And I suspect plenty of others will too.Originally Posted by Miss Chief
Sorry to say this, but while it is a good thing to have equality throughout the playerbase I can forsee Defiant becoming like a ghost town within a few weeks of the list merge. people may not wish to pay for character transfers between servers but I can see some of Defiant's players disappearing onto other servers and once they get settled then they'll make the occassional character transfer and before you know it they hardly play on the 'EU' servers at all. I suspect Union will be the same. The Lure of more populated servers will be strong. -

I have yet to see a convincing argument why this will be a good thing for the EU servers.

One thing I liked about pre-i13 PvP...
Diversity.
The current system revolves around damage, damage and more damage. Buffs are meh, debuffs are meh, mezzes are pretty meh too.
The fact that everyones now got resistance to most damage types means you just take whatever has the highest numbers, that's dull.
There were always certain sets that performed better than others, it will always be that way in mmo's. But the gap was never as wide as it is now.

I've no illusions that I'm going to be some sort of miracle worker with PvP. However I do know that if I want to accomplish anything for the PvP Community, I have to be persistent and knowledgeable about the subject. Hence, these conversations.
See, I'm currently playing another recently released superhero-themed MMO. It has fast-paced combat which players are lapping up. The problem is the interface/input was designed for a console, which has left the PC version open to serious exploit as far as combo stringing and animation cancelling go. This is leaving people disillusioned as no matter how much they love that 'fast-paced combat', they cant win against the exploiters, so they're not re-subbing.
If you can get the pace and diversity (they also hate that controllers can't control and DPS > everything, for example) back which was all but destroyed by the I13 changes, you could grab those players that are looking for thier MMO/FPS hybrid fix.
The frustrating thing is that YOU HAD IT BEFORE I13! Why not do what everyone that matters wants and poke the powers that be with a stick til they revert the I13 changes.
It makes so much sense!!!
And by the way, this is coming from a player who was only ever an average PvPer. So you've got hardcore PvPers, casual PvPers and even non-PvPers telling you that these changes sucked! How much more do you need to know???
Stop talking to us, start talking to whoever can get this done, THEN come talk to us when you have a decent foundation to build a better PvP system on.
Luv & kisses... Psianide -
This guy above has a good idea. To expand on it...
Put a base in the middle of RV, that has several entrances, the base starts out as neutral with turrets ect, as you found in base raids. Whichever side gets through the defences captures the base and is given x amount of time (1 minute?) to place, for example, 4 turrets, 2 slow fields ect... The other side then has to capture it.
Rewards are a currency that can be spent on rewards, large insps, PvP IO roll ect... Rewarded as a ticking amount for time spent in control and alive in the base, and a bonus for capturing, killing opponents in the base, destroying turrets, stuff like that.
Back to stuff you like about current PvP. -
Why are there posts regarding base building in this thread? This is a rare opportunity for PvPers to converse with a red name (regerdless of what effect it has). Please dont derail it.
What do I like in the current PvP system? PvP IOs. Though I think that a good idea might be to make them A. Much easier to obtain, and B. Have no set bonuses in PvE. So in PvE they act like generic IOs, but perhaps give the PvP bonuses a boost. It will make having multiple builds that much more meaningful as well.
I'm struggling to think of anything else at the moment, will post again if I do. -
Most enjoyable PvP experiences? Some good times in Warhammer Online, and many great times in City of H/V. But, like many others here, they were all pre-i13. I know you dont want to hear that but thats just the way it is. PvP in this game could be so much fun before that unlucky number got rolled out.
I really think you should get someone there to create a rollback patch for PvP as soon as possible, to make things as they were in i12. No matter what feedback you get here, making changes to the current system will be like building a house on quicksand.
It would be a majorly positive move to do that and make a much better foundation for future changes, which you could take your time over and hopefully gather feedback from the players, while at least giving them back a fun PvP environment in the meantime. And the PvP community will love you long time for it!
Here's hoping. -
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that you're related to Mr ?, also a claws/regen and InnerCircle member.
If I assume correctly then I remember Mr ? taking my 1st toon (Fyreball, fire/em blaster) on a tour of the caves of the Shadow Shard. My first experience of Rularuu... My god they hit hard back then!
I also remember failing the first hero respec at least 6 times, resulting in a dream where I could hear the teleporters backpacks in my head.
You are related to him, just re-read the list and noticed number 7.
-
Fix PvP...
Oh hang on, you said wish list, not miracle list... never mind. -
A lot of constructive stuff being said here, I hope it gets noticed and the apparent Dev radio silence on anything PvP comes to an end.
-
I'd love to see this and would happily pay for it!
I have both an Iphone and Ipad, would like to see it on both but either would be great, I would imagine the Iphone/Ipod touch route would be best at first to reach more people, then make an Ipad version taking advantage of the bigger screen.
In all honesty the Devs would be crazy to oppose this as if it were in the app store it would likely bring in new subscribers.
As for what to put in it, just whats in Mids would be enough for me, and I suspect the majority of users. -
What're the chances of Mids on Ipad? I'd use it more than any other app!
Just thought I'd ask... And hope. -
Oh look! Not a word regarding PvP... I wasn't expecting that! :/
-
His sword is strapped to his back... Back details?
-
I asked several PvP related questions at yesterdays live Dev chat, none got answered. I asked one other question relating to power customization, it got answered... Go figure.
-
The server cap seems to have been set very low, I'm taking a guess at 50 people per side as when I got on after queueing, search never turned up more than 50 people villanside.
I hope this is a mistake. -
Hey people.
I know there are some of you out there who either have, or enjoy making builds in mids for PvP corruptors. So this is a request for... Rad/Therm Sonic/Pain Dark/Rad and Elec/TA builds.
I'm getting to the point where I feel that hibernate is pointless, it just delays the inevitable, and phase would be better. But then I have to drop Tactics, and I dont want a defence shield so BS's pool is out, at which point my brain starts to melt.
Anyway... Builds Plz.
TIA -
Mids says recovery is currently 3.24/sec. This is with Numi, Miracle and Perf Shift procs.
This is a build yet to be respecced into so is open to tweaking and/or mocking.

Hi.
Can I go staminaless on a Fire/Regen Scrapper and not suck (wind, me sucking is inevitable).
Cheers! -
I've had the same issue and I've sent a petition. This has cost me about 25 million infamy and I'm a bit nervous of using the market for now.

Lots of zone (lolzone?) More recently I've been favouring arena and gravitating toward Doms as my weapon of choice. I was in an EU pvp event, but that was waaay back, before DR was introduced in fact!
