A lot of people will probably be trying it out, including me.

Not really, when I left there was still a very active SG/VG scene while tournament teams existed they were much less common.

I will wait a month for everyone to hit max level and wait to see what they have to say. I don't need a repeat of Age of Conan or Warhammer.

I mean like sg battles. SG vs SG in one match
EDIT: like this

Yeah, I got that Mad, that's what I was talking about. Another big difference is that virtually all of the matches took place on test so SGs from all servers could compete against each other.

I'll be playing it. I've been waiting for a SW game that doesn't look like **** for a long time.

I will definitely be trying SWTOR, I'm not going to lie I'm looking forward to it quite a bit, but I'm trying not to hype myself up too much in case it's a let down. I made that mistake with CO and Warhammer and a few other MMOs recently that ended up being pretty bad, and was pretty disappointed. Everything I'm hearing about SWTOR sounds good so far, such as it having PvP servers on top of the instanced stuff and warzone type things, so it's hard not to get excited... I've always preferred Sci-fi MMOs over most others, one of my favorite MMOs of all time was AO.

I don't know what server we'll be on either. We should try to find out before hand and have a CoH presence in one place.

Pretty sure I joined whatever guild Smoke and Artic are in, I haven't visited their site in like a month and I have never talked to any of them, not sure where they are planning to go, though I'm pretty sure it will be a PvP server.

What i meant was, when did 8v8 become the norm? Alot of these old screens are 16v16 sg battles and why did they stop?

Ahh, now I get you. AFAIK 16v16 was never really popular, certainly not when Lions Den was around. Why you ran into several screen shots of 16v16 scores I can't answer, but the only time I remember those happening much was when some SGs were trying to get into PvP for the first time and thought the larger numbers would help them (they don't). The larger battles would take a lot more active PvP SGs/VGs to make happen and we just don't have the numbers.

Actually, in the earlier days of PvP, the standard for team matches on test was a 16v16 20 minute round. 12v12s were also popular for a time, as were server vs server battles with over 20 people on each team.

The way to do it is by using the "super group rumble" setting. Unfortunately, not enough people play for it to be a consistent thing.

Even if enough people played - you can't form teams before entering arena matches now, so it'd be dumb, because you couldn't control who ends up on which team when in the match.

Ya, you all need to stay here. My guild(s) is going to be there from GW and EvE Corp and I don't want them to know I know any of you...

Probably a good idea to cut any ties with pvpers in this game. Probably an even better idea not to mention that you've PvPed competitively in coh; although it would probably elicit some good laughs.

Oh please tell me what game's population would laugh about it so that I can rip apart the idea that their PvP is super fabulous. Very very few games do it so well that they have any place to turn their noses up at other titles.

You do realize Hello Kitty Online has a more cohesive PvP community than this game does, right?

This game sets the bar very, very,very low. I blame developer lack of interest. That's where it has to begin.

I do as well. And I wasn't talking about the community. The devs drove most of that away a long time ago when there was a chance to really make this something unique and cool. But, just looking at available PvP in other games, there really isn't much out there that's HOLY GOD THAT'S AMAZING I'M QUITTING EVERY OTHER GAME I PLAY!

Why quit every other game you play to focus on one? Right now I play two. One for the lawls, the other strictly for PvP and Business aspects of my Corp.

The devs will never make PvP in this game unique or cool because they don't see the potential the engine provides.

I'll see you around on SWTOR if you decide to make the transition. You probably won't know who I am, but I prefer it that way. d;D

SWTOR and GW2 look promising in terms of new MMOs on the way, SWTOR recently announced PvP servers... Also, I've been filling a lot of my gaming time with Skyrim lately. Shouting at stuff to kill it sounds like something that would appeal to some of the PvPers in this game.
