So whats Justice like these days?

Yentz · 08-04-2009 06:38 PM

I am ........sigh..... thinking about resubbing. Whats justice like these days? Still a fairly average server in terms of players on? Still lots of chit chat in JFA?

Any PvP whatsoever?

Also, I hear alot about AE stuff ruining the game, is that really all people do these days, or could I actually find teams running missions?

I don't PvP, so can't answer that.

But yes, a LOT of people are AEing. You can still find teams, but it might be more difficult than you remember from your last visit.

Lastly... we are not, never have been, and never will be... average. So sayeth Mediocrity Man.

I, too, have poked my nose back in the past few days.

Impressions:

- easy enough to find teams blueside, not so much red; it's remarkable how many old-timers are still there (I haven't played in two years, mind you!)

- PvP? much, much less zone PvP than when I left (and PvP was pretty much my sole occupation in the past); Sirens is completely desolate, though RV can become quite busy. Arena matches are always an option, of course.

- AE, in my view, serves three purposes: it allows PvPers to bypass the mission process in leveling toons (which is perfectly fine); it allows players with multiple 50s to farm, essentially, for influence/infamy via so-called "bronze rolls" so that they can afford to IO multiple toons (again, perfectly good use of AE); it allows newer players to completely bypass the game, PLing toons from the get-go (with regrettable consequences, like level 40+ tanks unsure how to get to PI...)

Does AE ruin the game? I'd say "not" because most of those aren't players you'd *want* to team with; the channels (JFA, JB, etc) provide ample teaming and TF opportunities.

Wait... did you just stereotype all PvPers and Veterans with multiple 50s as players most people on these forums WOULD NOT want to play with?

WTF are you smoking?

Pretty awesome thinking 6 people in rv was alot. Man I miss the old days on Justice. At least I can pvp alot on freedom still, it was just more fun back in the day while being at home.

Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

No! I thought I was pretty clear:

I broke AE into three categories - the last category, "perma noobs who've never actually played the game", are those I - at least - prefer not to play with.

PvPers are my favorite crowd, historically.

As to people with multiple 50s, that's just a measure of tenacity... so that can go either way.

I have six myself, all leveled the old-fashioned way (well, with a Dreck run here and there) - I'm only just back after a long hiatus, so there was no fancy "AE" or "MA" back in my time - though I anticipate racing some pvp builds through using these new-fangled techniques.

Hmm, doesn't sound like the time to resub then. I'll wait till i16, and provided Global Agenda hasn't launched then, I might check out CoX again.

Till next time, Candle out.

I don't think AE has necessarily ruined the game. I never have trouble finding a team, blue side or red, but some people complain about that. In fact, I was on a low level red team last night for several hours.

All things change, Justice included. It's still a lot of fun to play here.

Yeah, I invited a guy to a team on double xp weekend ... lvl 44 blaster (if I remember correctly) ...
The conversation:
Him: Where are you?
Me: Bricks
Him: Are your coming to AE?
Me: No the team is for good ol'fashion missions.
Him: Ok cool, where are you?
Me: Brickstown
Him: How do I get there?
Me: /palmface

I don't even think the guy knew where the green line was ... anyway ... I was unimpressed.

theres plenty of pvp, not on justice though. its cheaper to resub and transfer over a couple pvp builds to freedom(or just AE pl) than buy a new mmo that may die in a couple months anyway.
