Probably wrong here but I seem to remember the original announcement of PvP changes said that the changes were for arena only and not for zonal PvP. Will there then be another major PvP change when Zonal PvP is looked at?
PvP has always been horribly broken... how much worse can it be?

These changes are for everything PvP related.

Thats exactly what i would think, before actually experiencing them. You have no idea.

So they should just leave PvP alone. Don't try to make it "better" then.

What did you really expect them to do though? Every issue they get complaints about how they forget about the pvpers and it now seems theyr dedicating the next 2 issues to try to fix it.

One possibility is that it's just a bluff, designed to warn off the hardcore PvPers from ever demanding PvP fixes ever again

Ok taking all this outside the box so to speak, I have very limited PVP on this game so can't really comment. I mean I tried once with a Dar/Dark curruptor, that was suicide, then a MM again lasted all of five seconds and that was it. Though I did sort of enjoy the thrill of being hunted by real players it still made me not want to go back as I seemed to have no chance of winning and first impressions do count for a lot, I know now though both of them AT's are very difficult to use in PVP and corruptors are probably unsolable.
Anyway thinking aside from all this and other fps pvp games people saying LOL YOU SUCK STUPID NOOB, all the time do make you feel like hating all PVP events, happily though I never got that in this game, I just couldn't really defend myself which I found annoying, So yes as a outsiders point of view if you cant have a fair battle or at least cant even hit the enemy then it is broken.
However as stated this game was not really made for PVP and it seems the only way they will fix it, which is what they are hinting at is to have PVE build for outside of PVP and in PVP builds for inside the zones, in effect making it a seperate game by letting you make your own PVP only type build.
And just don't take it personal I guess, I see it in RP and PVE communities, someone probably not trying to upset anyone will say lol noob, or take something way too personal when it's intended as well 'out of the box', though you can't blame people for getting [censored] off if you get streams of abuse just for getting killed and trying to fight back, it didn't happen to me in this game but it has happened in other PVP games but as stated, nothing anyone can do about that ifs its competitive people will brag.
Overall though was PVP broken? Yes, will it be broken after these changes? Yes but it may jsut be easier for casual visitors to PVP to fight back. Can it ever be made perfect? Probably but it would take such a drastic overhaul that it would probably be way more contraversial than what they are doing.
The end is just a new beginning, Goodbye all my coh friends and even the enemies, its been a blast I will miss you all. Thank you Paragon team, you gave me a home from home I will always appriciate it.
