I make the best out of bad situtation. You try to make it worse. Hardly the same thing. When I see you posting actually helpful stuff and trying to help the community I may give you the benefit of the doubt. As it is all I see you do is rarely offer any advice, and even then it is questionable quality wise. Then you post back and forth arguements and try to point out how everyone else has gone OT. Leaders lead, which is what I at least try to do. All you aim for is chaos and your own agenda, that quite literally only exsist to you. You are like the guy wearing the tinfoil hat who thinks everyone else is crazy. Nothing we can say or do will change your thoughts on this. Please know though you aren't going to change us either. The fact there is so many of us and only you should tell you volumes of the validaty of your perspective. Sadly I don't think your mind will let you see it though. Mental illness can be tough, I wish you well.

dodgy, it's so obvious that you're just arguing for the sake of arguing, i'm not gonna waste my time anymore. Keep digging your hole.
Since this thread has become a discussion of what has become of COH PvP and why it has / has not been fixed and how it was discussed, here's a link to the pages and pages of discussion concerning the Issue 13 changes.

You'll notice that the only dev responding to the questions in the thread goes silent eventually. Since that time, the only dev responses to anything PvP-related have basically been, "It's not a priority."
I was never a hardcore PvPer, but I've had a hard time defending anything the devs do as the silence continues. To quote, "Your silence is deafening."
The biggest problem with i13 changes more than anything was the fact there was so little support and bug fixes afterwards.
PvP is workable to an extent, but like every other game it needs constant tweaks, usually minor but enough to balance things out. I can see the idea they were going with but the fact they just dumped the changes then gave up on any attempt to fix the issues was the worst part of it.
So far the only real comment I've read from the devs on pvp since i13 is that positron likes it as it is. If thats there reasoning behind not changing anything major then thats a stupid view to begin with. Just because one guy likes it on the team, it doesnt mean the community of paying customers support it. Im not saying it was a total waste, but theres plenty of unaddressed issues that the devs have turned a blind eye to. Anyone with a history of MMORPG's probably knows about SWG and there NGE 'update' that changed and killed the game, yet this is pretty much what the devs have done with pvp. They have simply taken the stance of fixing it till its broken.
That alone is shooting themselves in the foot somewhat, since they say they want more end game content, yet make the only viable source of permenant endgame content unbalanced and buggy.
The idea of having two sets of effects for pvp and pve is a great idea since fighting players isnt the same as fighting npcs and it shouldnt be treated as such but the changes made are way too severe. The entire thing should have been done in baby steps and taken feedback along the way, rather than dumping one huge change at once and leaving most of the pvp community saying 'wth?'
Its pointless even commenting on it anymore since its been made clear that the devs have no wishes to even pursue this and would much rather rush out the next pve content and bug filled issue rather than fixing what they already have. Theres plenty of problems in game that simply dont get addressed unless the devs feel like it, I for one wouldnt be concerned if they took one issue out in order to fix issues with the game rather than rushing onto the next TF/SF that can be completed within a couple of hours and leave you bored for the rest of the month.
This doesnt just concern pvp btw but the game on a whole. PvP is just a part of that and I see the entire thing as needing a serious bug fix.

"Situational power? Sure. Although in a sense... all powers are situational. It's just that some situations occur more than others." Understand the situation needed in order for the power to be most effective... and make that situation happen.
