Yeah. After trying everything else possible, I've felt like that's the only thing I could do to make any difference (however small some might say it is). The free week has provided an opportunity to come back, try things out again for myself, and then restate the obvious. Not that the devs care, but the window of opportunity is still there regarding their ability to roll back PvP to i12 and begin actually working with PvP'rs. You want back a good number of subscribers and add even more? Install a dev dedicated to PvP that will actually work directly with the PvP'rs-a dev that loves/has loved it because of what it was: a fast-paced, balanced-around-teamwork system that is best suited for those that build their toons and strategies around anticipating a fight against others doing that same thing. I know many have said that before, but it's worth saying again. I wouldn't bother posting if I didn't still love what this game once was and could be again.

The Devs won. We lost. Accept change.


The fact of the matter is whether it's our dollar or our voice they don't care because they have their plans.

Can we continue to plead our case to the devs? Yes of course .

Will it do us any good?
Probably not.


PS: Being a PVPEC member for freedom thier been many occasions I've raised each of the points mentioned in your thread and not much has been done or have been remotely address.

Btw Hi, psoma.

The Ladder:

First, I'm going to start by saying that PvP now sucks in comparison to how it was in the issues pre-i13. There is no debating that. There are fewer viable builds, the skill curve is almost non-existent, and the action is slower paced.

However, the notion that Stalker/KBer or stalker/TKer lineups are the only viable options, or even the most effective options is an unfounded notion at best. Ownage and I have come up with countless lineups that are impenetrable to the stalker/KB or TK concept.

As for "DR on" matches, I think that's pretty stupid. It's a very sloppy system. Nothing works how it should: healers can't heal, resistance buffs are almost useless, KB protection is non-existent. "DR on" matches would allow for unorganized and ill-coordinated spikes to be effective. Just spam damage on something until it gets heal decayed, and it's bound to go down. I'd be willing to do some testing with DR on. But let's remember that DR is one of the biggest contributers to i13's failure.

I agree DR has no place in the game and has devolve the skill level that once made test pvp matches so attractive. In regards to testing "No thanks" did that whole mess gave feedback and two issues later we have i14 gg devs.

lolNDA, so can't give specifics.

I'll just say it's better than what we have here now.

I applied for closed beta in what, November or December? Game doesn't really interest me but being in the closed beta might've made me change my views a bit. No dice so I'll probably stay here unless my friends move there en masse.

My advice would be to voice your opinion with your dollar. It's the only thing that matters. Long as you are paying, you are approving of their decisions and direction.

It's a [censored] ton better than this game in its current state.

Not as good as this game pre-I13, but give it about a year and it'll rake this game over the coals.

Movement is horrible. Kills it for me. And, in about a year, there will be something better to play than either game, I'm sure.
