First, I think PvP is an important part of any multiplayer game, as there will always be some players who want to test themselves against other players, no matter how good NPC AI might be.

Second, a game with superheros and supervillains is simply crying out for PvP way more than, say, a typical fantasy game - in a typical fantasy setting, like LotR, for example, the enemy forces are usually hordes of evil creatures, and only the good side has a big variety of characters, but in a comicbook setting, it's very much about a battle between individual heroes and villains - so the ability for powerful individuals to face off against each other is needed much more in a comicbook game than in a fantasy game.

Second, I really don't think it's possible to ever have a totally balanced PvP system in any game that has a wide variety of powers and weapons.
If everyone can have ranged weapons, or all ranged weapons are banned, then it's possible to be pretty equal - but if you allow someone with a sword to fight someone with a laser blaster, then the ranged fighter will start with a very big advantage.
SUre, you can make the map in such a way that it evens things out a bit, like making it a maze, so it's very hard to get a good distance between the shooter and the target, but in any normal map, the ranged fighter should easily win.
Also, AT/class restrictions don't lend themselves to totally balanced PvP - in a comicbook or movie, charcters and powers are unique, fights are decided by what the story requires - so if a healer/defender style character was required to defeat one or more brute/scrapper types, then they'd do so, using some kind of move or trick that's beyond the capability of any videogame to make allowances for.
But in the same situation in PvP, then the lone healer/defender would get ganked by the gang of brutes/scrappers - because it's simply done by math, and not story needs.
So no matter how much you might love your squishy avatar and it's concept, it just might not be able to cut it in PvP, because math has to be the deciding factor in PvP, not story.

Have you updated your drivers recently?

When it gest stuck at the "loading" message, does it lock up your whole computer?

When you say you've tried to shut down your firewall, do you mean you managed to or not?

You'll become a farming cow for the 2XP weekend?

Maybe Positron and his mentioned of planned graphics updates might be hinting at this - like he said the war walls would be coming down, and it turned out he meant the Rikti would invade

Not sure what they're actually basing their prediction on...

Sure about that? Don't you need the name of the sender aswell then?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, it's worked each time I've used it - even when it doesn't make the sender's name show up.

I've heard other people saying it's still not working - but I'm not sure if it's also ignoring defeats, or if it's still counting them, but the bar isn't moving.

I was thinking less Neo and more the Untouchables or something like that. Would work well with the civilian costume some players have.

Well, you'll get that with the vet rewards after 3 months

This is quite a frequent request by a lot of players, but the devs have said it would take a huge amount of work to make it possible, so the chances of it happening soon are probably pretty small.
I think that if it was ever added, it'd be done in stages, a few power sets per Issue, to give them time to work on other features too.

Also, welcome to the forum

I'll try and be there for the later one - as long as RL gives me a few minutes to log on

EDIT: Just saw it's moved to Boxing Day - might not be able to make it in that case

Should we log on, and send stuck petitions, and when they show up, wish them Happy Christmas?

Just don't take the fact that there is a walk animation in the game as evidence that it's simple to implement on PCs.

Yes, just look at Ghost Widow for a similar kind of problem
