This server has room for only one former Champion RPer, Dinah.
So now we're all going to leave because of you.

Did you register for the ToR guild yet, Xanatoast?

Let's not.

Yeah, cause, you know, it's only been just announced, so it's gotta be the Rookery's fault noone has been talking about it for the last week. -
You act like f2p is happening tomorrow.
C'mon now. -

You are. The VIP server is, IMO, just a PR move to retain people who would otherwise go "OH NO THE FREE PLAYERS ARE TAINTING MY EXPERIENCE, IM GOING TO UNSUBSCRIBE NOW!!1"
Sadly, I know people like this. -

Man if there was any doubt that the Rookery had killed this forum, the fact virtueites aren't talking about i21 and Freedom much yet is the final proof.
Or something to that effect, I don't know. -
Quote:I don't think they'd punish the current playerbase that is happy with their home server right now by offering exclusive content on a VIP server.Originally Posted by Grae Knight
I believe it has VIP content to offer. But I could be mistaken.
At the same time, I do see a lot of posts about people potentially leaving their home server in order to join the VIP one. I seriously hope that they aren't going to offer VIP content on one server specifically. -

It's like those old NFL guys. I hear one old runningback could run a 5.0 40-yard dash if he got a 10-yard head start. That's fast. I mean, today's 300lb linemen run faster that that if they stop in the middle for a cheeseburger, but those old guys were the only good players ever, amirite?
Sure, there were some good PVPers waybackinnaday. Then some of them left. Maybe all of them left. Who cares? They didn't PVP with today's builds and rules. They got all sad and left because i13 happened and what they liked to do suddenly didn't work anymore. Wah. Now people have incarnate powers and builds filled with very rare recipes that exemp down. More wah. Adapt or fail or go away.
I know that new PVPers have a lot to live up to, given the skill of those that came before them. I mean, I hear that those old PVPers had callers who could find a target and tell their teammates who that target was over Vent, then countdown for a teamwide damage spike. That's some impressive skill right there. I don't know if anyone could ever live up to that standard. Then someone told me that they hit 1-2-3-4 for their attack chain? Man, I know I couldn't go toe-to-toe with that. It takes mad skill to hit all four of those buttons, one after the other. Will we ever see that level of talent again? Not a chance, but we can hope, right? -
TIME MANIPULATION.
Good thing I had the name Timestrider saved. -

Because i'd heard that all the very elite PVPers had left this game. If there's any left i'd like to know.
Who are the very elite PVPers on Champion?
No drama. Just curious.
Also, I'm not sure if Liberty's being sarcastic, but yes, I do RP. And yes, I could outcall anyone in the league. That's not even a matter of debate. -
Viva la u2bg.

Uh, no. The PvP community has given clear, concise answers before and has even had Macskull write up thi slong list of changes desired by players. So no, it was not our fault to give correct answers. The Devs hate PvP and don't want to touch it, and some people even think that the changes in Issue 13 were meant to drive avid PvPers to other NCSoft games that more heavily supported PvP.

Your posts have been giving me headaches since back when you were in Paragon Elite, so no, I don't think that will help much.
Appreciate the offer though. -
I certainly hope the "Capes" are a Baseball team.

People are still using TRU WARRIR? Jesus, at least recycle something funny.

Have you considered attempting to build one yourself? Doing so goes a long way in learning how to tweak builds in order to achieve something that you find playable.

It's posted on Champion. I think it speaks for itself.

Forget any changes to the current pvp system. The immediate problem is that there aren't enough players involved in pvp for the bean counters to justify the devs making changes. To get more players involved they need to goal-oriented pvp. Some sort of capture the flag type of encounter (fix base raids too).
Back when base raids still worked my sg fought another group. Well got 300 kills and they got none. At the end, THEY claimed victory because they had destroyed our generator. A lot of the playerbase in this game would get involve in pvp if there were rewards and objectives that did not solely involve killing other players. If there was a capture the flag type of option, it would serve as more of a bridge between pve and what we generally consider pvp. A certain percentage of those players would probably then transition to zone or arena pvp after learning how to handle themselves in goal oriented matches.
Of course people have requested CTF style pvp for years and its been ignored as well. But at this point, no tinkering with pvp dynamics is going to bring in a viable pvp population. Even if they rolled it back to i12 rules, at best maybe some of the vets that quit over i13 would come back. They need to do something that will get some of the mainstream playerbase on board. If they got more players involved, they could then justify undoing some of the damage they did with i13.

No matter what change you end up implementing, you aren't going to pull the casual player base into the fold simply due to the fact that this game is carebear city. People don't want to turn around and punch the person they've been singing Kumbaya with for years. -

There was a strong PvP community for years and I don't think he ever even had a clue. That, or neutering the system was his way of slapping all of those troublesome **** talkers in the face. -
No, it's PvP. The game answers this question if you talk with any of the Longbow representatives when you enter the zone.
You can be attacked, therefore eventually you will be attacked with any and all disregard to some sort of "code of honor" that you may have. -
mad & sad.

Pretty sure "THE LEAGUE" already had a season one.
