well, the kills are actually the hardest when it's something like 1v6 for the 1, but the overall kill count for players and the % chance of a recipe dropping to either side is the lowest in a 1v1.

Do they have a reason for this? Is it farming? They could make it so you can only get a rep worthy kill once in an arena and i'd be fine with that.

You can get recipes in an arena match.

Rep valid kills are all that matter, so while you'll never physically get rep in an arena match you still have your 1% chance for a PvP recipe every 5 minutes.

You know...this made me laugh.

“You want to know what I hate? I'll tell you! People who feel entitled to abuse others, simply because they can.” –Castle

He must really hate himself now. The guy destroyed a game's entire community, with no logical reason whatsoever. Simply because he could. Hypocrisy ftw.

Meh. Castle has admitted his hands were basically tied about some of the changes that went live, as he was "talked into" changes he didn't like/agree with by his boss/es.

We all have to do as our bosses say or we get the sack and i'm sure that's no different at Paragon Studios.

I was just as happy to Castle bash as the next person till i read his post about being talked into things. Now, i think we should all just accept that PvP 2.0 is here to stay an it's probably no individual Dev's fault if a Dev at all, and just try to make the best of it.

Yeah, I know...theoretically it's possible.

I've just had too many lies thrown my way for all these years. They were never honest about anything. Literally everything they said was PR bs, sugarcoated to make it sound like they cared. That, combined with constant stealth changes that never make it to patch notes, made me lose all confidence in anything they say.

I nominate "Supermax" for obvious statement of the week award.

More srsly, Castle would have to be blind, deaf, illiterate and live in a cave deep in the amazon, guarded by rabid game programmers and a yeti in order to NOT see how bad pvp is.

lol....balance.

Ah if only I had more money to pay for maybe one more month.. Ah well, I'll apply for when I'm around.. Though at the moment I had to shut my account off.. But I do have a character on a friend's account. Below are the characters on my account when it's turned on..

Dear collegues, my sub goes down on monday and i just wanted to say that i gonna miss you all. It was fun working with all of you, i wish you luck on future patrols and let's hope that the day, when FCers don't bother citizens anymore, comes faster. *goes to gather her things for trip back to Neptun*

Oh , on side note: and F*** all people (includes devs, their bosses, CS and RPers) who ruined pvp community and pvp system itself ,,I,,

For the record, Castle does not have an ultimate veto and a good amount of i13 changes were out of his control. He is a lead designer, not THE lead designer, and even if he was THE lead designer, he still has people to answer to, that being marketing. I spoke with him at HeroCon, prior to i13 release, and was told how strongly against some of the changes he was and how he fought against them, obviously losing.

As far as i13, this game had such an incredibly steep learning curve which was essentially chopped in half by i13, therefore making the ultimate goal a success. Personally, I don't mind i13, in my book this is another i9, which effectively did the same thing via IOs, made bad players better.

What I do not like is how i13 was implemented. A revamp of the system would require a lot of maintenance, which is something that is not being done. Realistically, all the types of changes make sense, however their percentages are off base. They have effectively created a system where damage is still king, but there isn't anything that you can do about it.

The new system is bad but not because of the differences to i12, but because they dropped it and left it there to rot.

With DR in place, our solid set of rules to employ in min/max builds were thrown out. Now there is only one rule, damage is king. There is no more BF managing to fight mez types, no more playstyle differences for damage types, no more specific values to make our builds perma-anything. You just play and if you have the damage, succeed. Oversimplification aside, the reason I say the learning curve was cut in half is due to how easy it is to succeed now.

As far as playing half speed, I believe that is only true for movement. I think there is a lot of micromanagement going on now that wasn't as critical in i12 due to a lot more attacking since people can no longer run as easily. It's all power timing based now, like every other MMO out there. Using mez as a damage mitigation rather than a control is something I have come to enjoy. I think the changes to movement speed have made the shift from PvE to PvP less jarring since they are both just shootshootshootshoot at their core.

I have plenty of gripes with the new system but I had plenty with the old one too. The game is too different to say one is better than the other. I hold on to i8 dreams, but some day we all have to come to see that the system isn't going to change back, so we should stop petitioning for that. We need to accept the system, find it's intricacies and crusade to get the issues fixed. Like adding a no Global Res option in arena...

Besides, the real issue with PvP isn't the system, it's the lack of PvP content. They have the tech to employ mini-games and rankings but instead spend time making the dummies in RWZ move when you hit them.

holy crap i'm pardoned?
