Or they could just disable all slots and enhancements, make you fight with unslotted powers.

I dont think that would work. You work hard for your powers. You want to use them.

Actually I just had an idea. It wont solve the disparity between the players which is a key reason fwhy PvP wont work but it may solve the other issue.

I think i'm right in saying Sirens Call is a good PvP zone and its a shame the others arent like it. I feel that way.

Problem for me is that if I put my 50 in sirens, or my 15 for that matter my powers are unbalanced.

So that idea isnt necessarily attractive.

But.

Why cant every level have access to every PvP zone?

Why cant, when I'm 50 and I go to sirens (for example) I get a choice of levels- 1-10 11-20 etc and I enter that instance of the zone?

If every player could access every zone (their levels equivelent) players would end up gravitating to a particular zone . maybe two. The devs could see which zones really are popular ansd work on them to make them even better.

Now, I think that may solve at least one problem with PvP.
What you think?

And, whether you think it would work or not, why cant we have a level 50 sirens or bloody bay for that matter?


Don't get into a flap. It's only my opinion and I'm thick

The immediate problem I can see (for the EU, at least) is that with a split level system like that it'd be all too easy to spread the players too thinly.

I gather some (most?) PvP zones have trouble getting decent populations together as it is; reduce populations by a factor of 3-5 by letting people split off into level-based instances, and it'd be even harder.

Of course, if the I13 changes can get the numbers up to offset that split, that'd be a different matter.

Im a bit worried about the future of CoX.

I hate PVP in any game, im just not the pvp type, so all this power changing is unneeded in my opinion.

I've never seen the point in wanting shields as a powerset, but the villians side did need something like empathy.

The day jobs reward people for NOT playing the game and the only new story arc that I can see is Daedalus's new arc in Cimorea, an area I've never liked as its rather dull.

So basically, I13 is something that will pass me by. I might say hello to it but we wont stop to chat.

If you dont pvp then you dont know, changes were needed but not the way its been done.

Not true it rewards you when your logged out of the game so not playing anyway so infact you are gaining.

Also welcome to the forums

Thank you!

I understand that they were needed, but because I don't pvp, the changes im experianceing on the pve side seem pointless.

If by that you mean your pve powers changing due to the pvp change then dont worry, the changes being made to powers only effect you while in a pvp zone.

Your pve game will not change
