Maybe he just doesn't like being eligible for officials. :P


Or maybe the mission was completed...

If you had actually read the linked post you would note that I do PvP casually so this is part of the game I do play. Besides, I've seen too many 'surveys' in this game that created a false urgency because they were placed in specific places where only those who felt the entire issue was worthwhile would see and respond.

When given a list of options, "None of the above" is a perfectly valid answer.

I've read quite a few of your posts, and no, I would not count someone who believes PvP is a waste of time among the PvP community.

Nor can I imagine that anyone saying impovements aren't worth it are doing so with that community's interests in mind. No one is asking them to divert attention away from anyone else (note the relatively wide support for a paid PvP expansion). And yes, we get it, many people have other priorities.

NCSoft has announced they want to expand the brand and the franchise. None of us really know what that means, except that they want to expand their playerbase. It's a bad time to make presumptions about the limits of their resources.

Welcome to our world. Many of us feel the same way about PvE grinding, loot farming, and accolade hunting. While I understand what you mean, I'm sure it would be possible to find rewards that are either unimportant to PvEers, or just simply equal to PvE rewards. Maybe that means rewards like like a base teleporter that only goes to PvP zones, or maybe that means cashing in several hours worth of bounty for a recipe drop - something several hours of PvE will easily yield.

lol @ 2nd accounts.

I don't think asking a question is nerf herding. Putz is putting a lot of work into determining the top priorities for PvPers, and I'd guess she's just looking for people's thoughts on the subject. Obviously people don't agree on it - which is probably why she asked.

People need to stop this knee-jerk crap, state their opinion, and chill out.

There are many valid suggestions, but my priorities...

BALANCE
<ul type="square">[*]Give villains access to Hero APP’s.[*]Reevaluate the use of “unresitable” damage and debuffs.[*]Villains have no access to ally grantable +perception in Sirens.[/list]CROSS-SERVER
<ul type="square">[*]The arena and zones should be cross-server.[/list]REVAMP ARENAS
<ul type="square">[*]Selectable maps – radio buttons next to the map names would allow players to pick one map or eliminate several maps and still keep a decent degree of variety. More maps would be nice too.[*]Add options for limiting the tier of inspirations allowed and temp powers.[*]Allow non-SG matches to be greater than 8v8.[*]Either remove the buggy system generated matches from the terminal OR fix them so the arena can automatically organize and run tournaments, lethal lotteries, and even “official” ladder matches. The results could be on city kiosks.[*]Greatly increase the flight speed of the arena bots. Create a way for observer bots to distinguish between the two teams or add an ongoing scoreboard. Consider adding an option to grant them +perception.[/list]
One thing I think we might want to consider is NC Soft's new plans for their exclusively-owned franchise. They want to improve and expand on the City of Heroes and Villains brand. Whether that means sequels or expansions, we are in a position to campaign for an improved PvP environment and assist them as best we can.

Much of the old PvPer bitterness is fading, and in fact many vets are returning to or re-examining the value of CoX PvP lately. Many players (and entire SG's) who've left the game still believe this is the best MMO PvP mechanic out there.

I think every PvPer should start thinking about where it can go.

I would agree that most of the arguments to nerf cage aren't terribly valid, and I certainly wouldn't be upset if Sonic Resonance remained just as it is. Additionally, I'm very hesitant to request any dev involvement in changes because they have a history of very heavy-handed changes (see Fire Blast, Dominators, Containment...).

That said, I do believe cage is a powerful tool that is often the deciding factor in arena matches. IF it needs to be changed, I'd favor the short supression on the same target from the same caster - nothing terribly extreme. And really my only argument is encouraging variety - variety of cage targets and variety of effective line-ups. I'd personally like it, but whether that's worth it or not, I don't know.

I kinda doubt that cage resistance is even possible with the game mechanics, and for that matter, cage suppression may be too.

Generally I'd favor a 10 second cage supression, especially if it supresses only from the same caster. That is, the same cager can't perma-cage 1 person. 2 cagers could (and theoretically they could trade cage targets and keep 2 people perma-caged). I think that would encourage some variety in the targets, without gimping sonics out of matches.

Then make a creepy thread to talk with us. This thread is for our roster that our SG leaders post.

Don't be an anti-pokemite, Goldie.

Is it too late to change our name to The Squirtle Squad?

Everyone knows that stacked vengeance killed duels.

Or was it TK and Phase Shift?

Or was it rock? Rock smashes scissors and crumples up paper, right?

Nice job Velocity, you deserve it.

Despite his love for forum PvP, Fel's a good guy and anyone that talks to him on vent learns to appreciate that pretty quickly. Now go ahead and prove how much better you are by calling him names.

Star Captain, please stop posting in our roster thread. Thanks.

Did you just call us fat?

I don't even think I exist.

"Queenie" would have done the same thing.
