9. D
10. While balance will never be achieved in this game, in my opinion it will always offer more than all the other MMO pvp games currently on the market due to Travel Powers. (this will probably change shortly due to the 2 new competitors coming soon) The lack of a queue system for arena hurts this game, but after playing all the games that do offer this, it was easy to come back to CoX just due to the flexibility and enjoyment that travel powers offer. From a sit down and play standpoint, I can enter the zone and know I'm not instantly dead if confronted by overwhelming odds like in Warhammer Online and the equivalent. Escape is not only possible, it is likely. This still applies after the addition of suppression, it just takes a bit more skill to achieve.

5. 5
6. 8
7. A (imo, C-E would cheapen the experience; I'd like to keep it "for fun" only, as it's competitive enough)
8. F ( "no" impact; don't even know who/what it is; though I only zone pvp, so maybe not applicable)
9. A (that would engage in all three PVP venues)
10. Please share the overall results of the survey. Never did Arena and Base, but am interested in trying it out.

1. 5, I play whenever I know there are some teams in RV but I don't have the chance as much as I'd like to.
2. A- Blaster I love high the high damage ranged character, I would switch to Defender or Corruptor if needed.
3. 7- at least before the PvP changes. People are starting to come back now so life is returning.
4. B and D - I love team arena and team zone PvP
5. 8- Everyone on Infinity is helpful and friendly, yes even in PvP zones
6. 6- I haven't researched the changes completely and they totally negate all the stuff I knew as truth before.
7. A, C, and D - not sure what the ratio for recipes is but i never seem to get them.
8. True- I don't see them too often but I know that they have helped introduce people to PvP and that's always a positive.
9. A, B, and D
10. Some objective based PvP would be a great addition to the game. A more frequent drop ratio for recipes and higher XP/inf rewards. Some players would probably never leave the zones and arena if given the chance. Finally I'd like to see Elec blast not suck.

A. Influence/Infamy, Recipes, Salvage, IOs
Although my biggest incentive, which isn't listed, is for intelligent competition.
8.
False. To be honest I don't think anything can positively influence the PvP in this game anymore. You can throw around rewards and events all you want, the core of the system is unfun, imbalanced and frustrating. It isn't worth the tears shed.
9.
B. PvP League - Teams of X are set to compete with other similar teams throughout a "season" in various PvP events, ending with a playoff bracket.
10. Additional Comments
I left the game many months back and have no regrets doing so. During this free to play week I attempted to participate in PvP, and was reminded all too quickly of every reason that I left for.
The new system is horrid. It rewards terrible players, punishes the decent ones, further restricts viable builds, and took an already flawed system and made it worse.
Who won this anyway? I mean none of us win with the current pvp but who won the survey prize?
lol, prize.

Thanks for the info.
1. 1/10: Returning player
2. Corrupter
3. 9/10: Freedom
4. C & D, but more of option D.
5. 7/10
6. 1/10: Too confusing for a returning player
7. A
8. True
9. D
10. The current PVP system needs to be refined such that a new/returning player can jump in to begin to understand how PVP works. Not only do powers function differently in PVP than PVE (which requires a lot of learning), but there is a learning process as to maximum efficiency for slotting as well. Diminishing returns stacked onto another layer of diminishing returns is clunky, and promotes a homogenization direction which seems to be a trend in many PVP aspects of MMORPG's. In the end homogenization should provide more balanced level of PVP, but the experience is lessened if everyone ends up with similiar powers that are mandatory (eg phase, hibernate, etc). To be honest I prefer diversity in PVP that way more roles are available for certain power sets, and it becomes more inclusive that way. The changes made to CoX PVP was supposed to make it even more inclusive, but it appears that PVP has become even more exclusive to select builds. Also the ability to tunnel vision to victory through sheer damage is also a trend in MMORPG PVP I do not like seeing coming back to life. Still CoX despite all the changes is still the most fast paced, and dynamic PVP that can offered online. To be honest PVP balance in this game is not that far off, but it requires a few key changes to be made for PVP to be where it needs to be.

Don't know who or what PvPEC is. I'm not involved with my server PvP community because most PvPers are [censored] and i'm not serious about PvP. If PvPEC are the core of the asshatery on my server then False. It's sad when there's more drama in a PvP community than there is in the RP community.

10. Additional Comments
Not gonna parrot all the other comments that I agree with. The recent changes to PvP all but killed it and didnt really have any positive aspect as far as I can tell. That said, I've always respected what the PvPEC was trying to accomplish, perhaps now more than ever, so I offer my support.
