I really enjoyed the interview with Castle. Great Job Guys.

Ya Lady S...That got me too...but overall a great read.

Just a reminder there is a consignment house channel

If you would like to best have a means of determining how popular PVP is here then I would advocate an in-game survey of some kind. That would allow you to draw the correct conclusions.

The problem is that the committee had no real direction when it was started...Members were sent a PM from Ex Libris asking if they would be intrested in joining a committee to work on an event.

Players who can actually plan an event of the size was being looked at are not neccesarily the same players who can adequately represent what should be changed about PvP.

While I can organize a committee and events. I can not tell you how the Sonic Power Set would be best fixed for Pvp..

Therefore the members that were selected and kinda shined in the committee while planning an event are not automatically who should be leading the way in making any PvP changes assuming there are to be any...

When the committee decided to start handling actual PvP issues vs just planning an event they should have reformed or made a new commitee..

A committee designed to look into real PvP issues and solicit feedback would be great...A committee that would do things like in game surveys...

My fear is that the "PvP Elite" will be left in the dust because their skill is higher and therefore they can easily beat others that would be new to PvP and therefore some bias rule be put in to weaken them. I really dont know of anyone on the committee that represents the ideas of the people in this game who live to PvP.

There were always members of the committee who represented that viewpoint. Incursion and CZ from HVND, Fury_Flechete to name a few.

Where I think the High End pvp'r loses out is in the lack of Arena events that can hypothtecially be planned due to the bugs.

While I agree with most of what you are saying...I dont believe someone has to actually be a leet pvp'r to represent their views...For example there are many people who are advocates for woman's rights who are not women...alternative lifestyle rights who are not living an alternative lifestyle...Pro Choicers who have never or would never have an abortion.

I believe its more of a character issue than what type of player they are. Personally I dont want the best skilled player representing me.. I want the person who listens and treats people with respect even when they disagree. I want someone who is going to consider the community as whole not just their own intrests yet remaining an advocate for their brand of PvP.

We do know that there has been at least one member of the PvP Committee that openly stated they HATE PvP, that makes no sense. Ive heard they were removed but for other reasons, who knows.

Im wondering how you would know this? Since there is a clear NDA members must agree to. If these committee members cant be trusted to keep NDA how can they be trusted in other areas..

You heard incorrectly that was NOT what was said in context..

What could have hypothetically been said was:

" I hate the attitude of some Pvp'rs" " I hate the current system of PvP and if that went away I would do a happy dance"

However that gets blown up into "I hate PvP and all PVP'rs" by people on the committee with their own agenda to see nothing but Elite PvP represented with any real ability to contribute.

While I was on the commitee NO ONE was removed for their views on PvP or their particular flavor of PvP...The member you are referring to donated extensive time into creating a PvP Tourny software for the committee that we ended up not being able to use for other various reasons...But I happen to think that makes them a pretty great person for donating their time and efforts to something they have issues with.

It should be noted that persons remarks were replied to in much more negative and disrespectful comments than anything they posted...If we want to follow that train of logic then hypothetically members of the committee posted they HATE PvE and PvE'rs and anyone who does not Test Server PvP is not a PvP'r. Anyone who they have not heard of on the PvP forums or in the PvP elite are not PvPrs in their book therefore should not be on the committee.

Anyone who denies that point of view does not exist in spades the committee...Is lying.

I have had the time...Sheema was correct in her original concerns and I apologize for not taking it more seriously.

I am embarrassed at my own naivete (sp?) ...noobness when it comes to human nature and taking people at their word.


Aplogies

Hello Everyone,

To introduce myself , as the name says..Im Genna. The PvPec Chair Person.

I am in the Earthguard SG on Champion Server. I run the pvp aspect of our group. We primarily Base Raid and Zone Pvp. We are coalitioned with HVND. I have been in the game since May of 2004. I have been involved in various server and cross server events both pvp and pve.

My immediate goal in joining the PvPec were to help stop the bleeding off of our high end pvp'rs. Not my only goal but it was the most immediate in my opinion..

The main reason we appear to have this "secretive" nature is simply because we weren't prepared to discuss anything yet..We are still in the building process...

Once we have something definitive to present to you...we will!..We are actually anxious to start getting things rolling!

Ex Committee members leaking incorrect information and creating a level of paranoia is really not helpful..

We can not possibly include everyone on the committee. I encourage everyone to utilize their server reps and hero/villian reps if they want to submit feedback to the committee.

Once our web page is finished you will be able to apply to the committee for various levels of participation.

We hope to plan two major PvP events per year....Summer/Winter.. Its THAT simple... We hope to start our first event the begining of May. We will release the details of the event as soon as we have something definitive. We are looking to run a series of educational events as well to help people who have never PvP'd before or who would like to improve their skills.

If in our efforts we can bring some much needed attention to the problems with Pvp thats great, but it is not our primary focus. We will try to do as much in that area as we can, but we need the help of everyone.

Some servers already have a wonderful PvP presence or systems for events. We want to work with existing groups not against them...

We are still finding our groove so to speak...We don't have an official roster of members yet as it is changing while we get ourselves organized.

Right Now the Committee looks like this:

Chair Person
Server Reps and Committee Chairs
Hero/Villain Reps
Members

The structure is for organizational purposes. All opinions are equally considered.

We also have opportunities for Event Volunteers, Officials, Judges, and Coaches.

The committee was selected from members who had contacted ExL and LH about PvP events and PvP in general. Then from member's recomendations and volunteers.

We were not hand picked by the Devs...we did try to make every effort to include people from all levels of pvp...from those who are complete newbs and don't really care for it as Pvp stands today to the high end we LIVE to pvp'r...Zone, Arena and Base Raiders...

With that in mind it is very important that our members respect each other's views and are open to hearing from everyone. We are not all pvp 'leet or the forum elite.

I urge you all to please wait until we have something to actually announce before jumping to conclusions and conspiracy theories...


As far as ExL's involvement with the committee. She helped get it organized and made herself available to answer questions. Once we had ourselves on a path ..she simply posted she wasnt going to be watching over every little step we made any longer...The whole ExL quit the committee now their done is just more exaggeration and hype...


What can I tell you about the Event we hope to throw? ...Not a darn thing right now ...But soon!

Ok Ok ok...I will tell you this...There will be NO BADGES involved... ...There will be something (rewards wise) for every type of player in the game....and *IF* it happens will be like no other event in CoX history. Look for more details soon!


Finally..we are but one of what I hope will be many player run committees. There will be plenty of opportunities for people to get involved where their intrests lie...Supporting our efforts help all of us in the long run.

We appreciate your patience and support. Please feel free to PM me at anytime with questions or concerns.

Not sure how many people are aware of this channel or when it will become useful. "Auction" was started a few months ago in anticipation of the Auction House.

Im not sure if you guys are aware there is a global channel for whenever the auction house goes live. Obviously not much use for right now..

"Auction"

Oh

Well...umm..uhh..the others werent!!

Wow this is like the third TPF post Ive read today...

Make a bind for " / stuck" .... hit whenever you get TPF'd and your right back where you started...Kinda negates the whole thing..

TPF is only as suxxxors as you make it...Half the fun these people have is the reactions they get from doing it..

Just wanted to say Thank you for the guides and info!

"PWNZ"

It is open to all, but please do not ask for invite if you are not intrested in PvP.
