Another PvP zone?

Howdy Y'all

Firstly, I'll just say that I'm not a big fan of PvP, but I don't wish for it to be removed as I know a lot of people enjoy it and play this game for just PvP.

Anyway. I got thinking the other day while at work, bored out of my mind. Would there ever be another PvP zone? And if so, what would it be? What level range would it be?

My feeling is, with the currant zones, to add another would just spread the amount of PvPers about even more. SC seems the most popular, would that popularity fall if a new PvP zone were to crop up?

I do now and then, enter BB to get shivens, or warburg for Nukes. Warburg is my personal favorite PvP zone, for when I DO want to do some PvP.

So, what are your thoughts?

In Union WB is far more popular than SC from what i have seen.

If the new zone is anything like RV no thanks i ll pass.Imho there is no need for a new zone till the devs fix the current zones and give to pvp some rewards or some pvp system worth pvping for like a ladder of some sort and some good rewards from within the zones rather than the current pathetic reputation system.

Agreed with TG to some extent there,

With the spread of levels and the option of Arena why would another zone be needed.

It would dilute the numbers that re in the zones already. Maybe simple tweaks to the existing zones would prove a better use of time if they look at the PvP cycle again.

A better reward system seems very good although picking something that would not create farming (Lets not talk about RV though) is a dicey matter for the dev's as RV seems more of a Co-Op zone then RWZ does at times

Reward = yes.

Ladder = no.

Why no ladder? I like the idea, as it gives you something to aim for.

And would lead to more stupid [censored] arguments as does the current Rating system.

Especially when someone who does rock out in the zones much schools them either there, on in the Arena.

Another FFA Zone? Gimme! (With less critters)
Another "Atlas Park" rehash? No thank you.

allow base access to each zone

They can start giving these things out when they balance out builds so that PvP isnt simply a "who has the most PvP build" contest.

When was the last time you saw a fire blaster in PvP?

Is this a trick question?

i think they have just one too many pvp zones at the mo, they should combine sirens/WB into one pvp zone. There arent enough constant pvpers as it is and with four pvp zones they are spread out. By adding a 5th you would be starting the decay in zonal pvp. Combine sirens and WB into one zone i say, would be more fun and is at the currect level range too.

Personally I dont think we need anymore zones, however I do think the zones need a complete revamp. Change the rewards and objectives, remove Debt/XP/remove whiney badgers.

Finally Merge servers PVP zone wise, at least the whole of the EU poss the yanks too. Yes you can argue you'll get uber gank teams putting off new potential PVPers...But surely your putting off far less that is already happening with empty ones.

Oh id like it if one of the zones they thru out any story they need for the zone to exist and make it that heroes can team with vills, perhaps make it so your auto assigned to a team blues V reds or something.

I like the zones we have, there's one for each level band, which is fair.

I'd like to see more real PvP, the battles that there used to be, the ones that roll through a zone. Not the ones we have at the moment, the standard: Meet on Beach. Do not use Travel. Do not use Insps. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200, yawn-fests for the self proclaimed 'uber' duellers.

By all means duel, but by crikey, break it up with some teaming and a few chases that have peeps battling on ledges of rooftops!

Bloody Bay has improved recently having seen a rise in PvP, which I'm glad to see.

1v1 PvP will never be balanced, Team PvP (pretty much) is. Unless you're fighting a team of all Corrupters.

Edit: Ahaha, Fire Blast is awesome for PvP, very high damage, good range, good animation times, good (and reasonably high) DoT.

Another zone would be a total waste of time at the moment seeing as how the ones we have seem very under used, PvP can be fun but as its been said the rewards for taking part means there is no point bothering.

I agree with TG that we need a reward system as the one we have now has no point, but i have to agree with Extremus that a ladder system would be more trouble than its worth.

If they want to keep PvP in this game then it does need a good looking at to get people in the zones, imo the having two builds option one for pvp one for pve, that came up some time ago now would be a great idea.

How about a zone that allows you to choose a 'temporary' character from a selection of longbow or arachnos troops, that have pre-set powersets depending on which class they are. You could unlock new powers on this toon only by PvPing

Me= Fire/fireblaster ftw

But i think if another pvp zone is to be, then i think it should be a ffa at lvl 50, and villían and heroes should be able to team, and no npc´s around. simple as....Just PURE pvp bashing eachother out to we get bored off it. And maybe have a list off who has the most kills in the zone, so we all know who to kill for maximum bounty rep. My idea off another one zone.....


 

Posted

I'd be all for a new PvP area, but preferably something lvl 50 cap which allows heroes vs villains.

Oh, don't even think of mentioning Recluse's Victory. The only people who go there are only after prestige and influence and/or experience points for blowing up the turrets and killing enemies during the breif time limit thereafter.

That and those silly mechs make proper PvP virtually impossible. They hit damned hard and damned fast, meaning the battle is done with largely the bots and not with the players.

So, Recluse's Victory sans mechs and capture points please.

Bah bots rule, I went afk for a min and when i got back i saw a dead stalker on my feet, and my HP bar was orange

Im not the greatest or the most frequent pvper in the world ill admit. But i agree that RV is a pain. its nice to be able to pvp at lvl 50 without having to [censored] about with the arena but i think the turrets spoil the pvp action. you enter the zone and do a whoall check, find there loads of ppl in the zone. attck one and spend the next twenty minutes getting flamed because they dont want to pvp they are farming turrets, or chasing the AV's for the badges.
