Also, one reason why CoH has the potential to be fairly competitive is the way Arena works, specifically from a social standpoint... Just look at arena chat. Most forms of truly competitive PvP come from head to head, team vs. team type of matches, which is what Arena sort of does if it weren't for the other factors making PvP in this game bad at times.

For such a dead playerbase, these discussions accumulate a ridiculous amount of back and forth circular arguments, allbeit usually the same 3-5 people going back and forth for pages upon pages.

For what it's worth, I never considered CoH PvP to be extraordinarily competitive, but where there is PvP there will be some level of competition, no matter how small the player base. Beyond that, I think that it's fairly obvious the level of competition in this game is fairly tame compared to other games where competition has a bigger emphasis, and most of those types of games aren't usually MMOs. I think the only MMO in recent memory that has come close to the level of competition of the various FPS games is probably GW. MOBA's like LoL can be fairly heated also.

In terms of MMOs, for most people the draw in PvP is less about competition and more about what is more entertaining, keeping in mind that PvP always has some level of competition. In most cases, larger sustainable populations do tend to lead to more competition, especially in terms of MMOs.

If we're going to debate which games are more competitive, I'm not sure why we are talking about MMOs.

Who cares, play the game doing what you like to do and have fun with it. The competition for most CoH PvPers is an afterthought, myself included.

You can do it, and you would probably have some fun zoning with it, but like Lib said, it's a pretty bad build no matter what. If you want an actual PvP build you would definitely want to consider rolling a different blaster... I would take a look at fire/em, psy/em, dark/em, or sonic/em. Those are all pretty decent Blasters.

Also, Blasters are pretty easy to play... You pop aim/bu and kite your target while spamming attacks. Good type of toon to start PvPing with.

All I know is unarmed combat built Khajiit's are OP. It's also entertaining to outdamage everything else in the game by smacking them in the face repeatedly.

Standings for the final week of regular season have been updated, here is the seed order for the playoffs:

1st: WARE (18-0)
2nd: Exile (15-3)
3rd: Shenanigans (12-6)
4th: FAP (9-9)

Bye week for all teams (Sunday the 27th will not have official matches due to possible conflicts with thanksgiving)
Week 1 (4th of December): Shenanigans@Exile, FAP@WARE
Week 2 (11th of December): 1st seed vs. 2nd seed*

The playoffs are a continuation of the points system still, so that means Week 1 wins are worth 1 point, week 2 wins (Finals) are worth 2.

*In week 2, the 1st seed will be the team with the most points after week 1, and the 2nd the team with the 2nd most points after week 1.

Also, at this point all rosters are final, the only adjustment to rosters that may be made is removing players from now until the end of the playoffs.

Congrats CN, you guys were great to have around, thanks for sticking it out as everyone else has said.

I'm glad that you guys had fun and made due with what you had, hopefully we will see you participating in future events.
