Im not sure what to say really, melee toons will be good by the looks off it. Trollers will be even more dominant in duels.
And the heal resistance is funny, just make the emp heal a few times and its home free for a spike (if its possible by blasters).
Kin´s will be epicly needed for team pvp IMO for movement.
Sure brings new things to pvp this, im not a fan off some changes, but ill atleast try them out.
lulwat @ healing changes! Does Castle actually play the game? How the hell is this going to improve PvP? These changes are a complete joke. Carry on Castle. GG, well played son.
The main aim of the changes seems to be to try and make the ATs more similar in how long they can last, which is a good thing, I think - it'll get more people involved.

Surely a big part of increasing participation in pvp is to keep the current pvpers and what makes the current pvp game fun . .
thePhilosopher Martial Arts/Regen/Fire Scrapper
theRegulator Empathy/Energy/Soul Defender
Total Inertia Ice Blast/Kinetics/Psy Corruptor
Total Inferno Ice Blast/Thermal/Leviathan Corruptor
When PvPing rewards you for doing it, people will pour in.

But what makes the current game fun might also be what's putting off some potential new PvPers

Well i almost fell of my chair laughing i mean this is a joke right?
How does castle think this will get more into pvp and also were is the balance?
Well it would seem to me that globey could be right here i dont think castle plays the game if he did then he would be laughing as well.

Ability to PvP and these changes don't have much relation. Poor PvPers will still be poor PvPers with these changes, and Vindicate will still be Vindicate.

I read about a poll a while back, which showed that most people who don't do PvP don't do it because they can use the time for something else which actually nets them a reward.

Very true and this makes me wonder why these changes will get them into a pvp zone, if anything all i can see this doing is make the few who do pvp think twice about it.
Yer, i still dont understand why no reward system isnt even talked about, that would make LOADS off people come to the zones/arena IMO.
I very much doubt that any off these changes will make any difference.

Exactly. This is why the majority don't PvP. The proportion of the CoX population who don't PvP due to inequality between the AT's is so small, so why implement these changes?
Introduce good rewards people can earn in PvP and I think this will increase participation. Hell, do a poll on the forums or in-game to see what the players want, after all it's the players that actually are playing the game!
