PVP on US servers

Having recently rediscovered my old US account that I had since I1 and brought over a fire/dev blaster with whom I am getting used to in sirens, I got a little bored last nigth when the PVP zones were empty.

So I jumped over to Infinity on the US servers to check out the action over there and the difference (in virtually all things) was startling. The zone had at least 40 people in it for a start and each side kept getting pushed back after so long. It seemed stalkers (no suprise) and FF MMs are the flavour of the month over there, there were at least 8 of them camping the hero base. So I recruited a couple of /EM blasters and proceeded to use defiance and snipe to take them out, its such a thing of beauty to one shot a MM in PFF

In terms of attitude it seems different too, broadcast is hardly used, there is little villain/hero good natured banter like over here but also there was none of the vitriol that we get here either. Perhaps the sheer numbers and changing dynamics means there is less time/need to chat.

The zone also seemed full of people who were certainly not seasoned pvp players, questions about bounty were regular, where they could get inspirations from and stalkers didnt seem to know that they couldnt walk on caltrops I found this endearing though, the fact that newbies were not scared to come in the zone and with the changing dynamics ganking was no existant.

All in all I am wondering whether to relocate US side just because the pvp was so much more active, heres hoping it picks up in the EU

The US has a larger PvP community, yes. But I also get the impression, that as a whole, the EU community is a lot more friendly.

I've been feeling a bit like that too. Higher population servers would be a lot more fun I think. They also tend to do a lot more crazy concept stuff.

or merge the PVP zones globally or make a global pvp server to boost the pvp in this game beyond imagination

There'd be a problem with same-name characters from different servers though, wouldn't there?

Merged servers would be easier TBH it would sort a [censored] load of probs in the pve and pvp part of this game.

Well considering over here we have that problem just on Union i've had 2 of my toons name be taken and DOT added on to the end of the name as im sure many others have the same problem. In the US they must get 2 DOTS or 3 or 4 on the end hehe

Im the opposite. I play on Virtue on the US game CoH and
CoV. Im currently considering moving on the UK servers.

The PvP isnt all that great unless you stay up to 1am and
4am in the morning.

The OP had a nice experience. But its not always like that.
Smack talk over broadcast is regular on most servers but
its probably the same over here.
