PvPEC : New Years Evil

You're back? I'll probably enter something.

I'm keeping the rules like this. The goal as I see it of the PvPEC is to provide the communities with unique variations of PvP so as to bring both "PvPrs" and "PvErs" together.

I'm sorry if some of you guys don't like how we've structured this event but I encourage you to come out anyways. Not all events will be setup this way, but keep in mind were trying to add spice and diversity in our events to keep interest among the community.

The reason TS is on while heal decay is off is to even the playing field against healing type classes in a a suitable manner. This way you give the healer there full heals but they get suppressed so they can't run away from damage, thus never losing per say

The person who is hosting the event is the person who makes the rules. Those who agree to the rules, will participate and those who don't, won't! Pretty simple, IMO.

The PvPEC has done polls before regarding what the community wants regarding events. I cannot remember if arena settings where in the last one i saw though.

I may be slow for asking but will there be ties or will sudden death count to determine winner?

Philly answered your question on page1, Lucky. This event is a PVPEC event and the same exact event is being held crosserver with the same exact format.The particular format is one that was chosen for THIS event. That's all.

To add to more info for your question.. Anyone willing to volunteer time can join Pvpec. A common misconception by the playerbase is that Pvpec reps are some sort of elite pvp'ers who were indoctrined into the VOLUNTEER COMMITEE based on pvp knowledge and//or prowess. That is an incorrect ASSumption that is often made( no offense Pvpec reps).Most of the time it is comprised of players willing to volunteer time and effort to promote pvp in the game. Sometimes reps have alot of experience and sometimes they do not.Like I said it's a VOLUNTEER commitee that any player can join no matter level of experience in pvp. Pvpec runs many different types ofevents with many different types of rules with the hopes of garnering more INTEREST for PVP in general.That's why you get an event like this one with a certain ruleset and maybe next month there will be an event with a completely different ruleset.The purpose of Pvpec is to run events that put pvp on the foreront and get more players interested.

tl;dr version^^^

In short. If the rules of this event aren't something that looks fun to you( understood you) chances are the next event or even the one after that one might be more appealing.<3

Edited to add a link on where to find out more about Pvpec:

Looks like the Pvpec site is pretty out of date but the committee statement etc are there. Happy reading!!!

Edited once more to add these in case you dont feel like searching the site:

The PVPEC is a group of dedicated City of Heroes/City of Villains players formed for the purpose of promoting increased PvP interest and participation across the game as a whole. The aim of this group is to provide high quality player-driven content to the game community in such a way as to bring PvP to a greater audience, as well as retaining its current constituency.
The PvPEC has three primary goals:

1) To retain a currently diminishing population of dedicated PvP players by providing incentive to keep them interested in City of Heroes/City of Villains PvP.

2) To increase PvP interest in the casual and new player by providing an introduction and educational opportunities on the distinctions between the PvP system and the rest of the game, as well as providing incentive for participating in that portion of the game.

3) To bridge the gap between PvP play and PvE play through storylines that attempt to seamlessly integrate established PvP habits, trends and activites into the extant City of Heroes/City of Villains mythos, with the goal of making PvP meaningful in a world-advancing way.

The overall mission of the PvPEC is to supplement the available resources allotted to PvP development, events, and QoL in the PvP environment with additional player-generated input, organization and effort.


^^ thats the mission statement. As far as who can be in Pvpec check the first link to CriticalKat's thread. Hope this helped. Cheers!

edited again to say : Sorry to threadjack an event thread ;(. I just thought the above info might help clear the air and promote directing the thread back on topic. Then again? I'm a Ditz, ya know? Hope the event is a great success and lots of fun!
