Cathedral of Pain is Returning

Sai, stop pretending you know how the game works. Pve or Pvp you phail.

I dont pvp.. it is not my 'thing' so to speak. But I don't see the harm of the pre-I13 pvp at all. Sure... som AT's or powers where better then others. But thats the same in PVP and PVE.

I believe the facts that there is a decline in PVP. That alone should be a reason to roll back PVP changes done in I13. Just accept that it wasnt a good idea and get some players nack.

What a worthless topic. LOL

This thread is pretty short for all the replies it had today. If only they could apply those man hours and persaverance to fixing bugs and crap we might have had the cop back up and still pvp based before they killed that part of the game.

Let's be honest, this isn't even in the same spirit as the original CoP. Are you calling it CoP so that you can claim to have given it back to us in some redeeming maneuver?

Whatever this trial turns out to be, it isn't a return of the CoP as we knew it.

I'm going to call whatever this thread was attempting to do Cathedral of Lame. Why is this even in the PvP section? It has nothing to do with pvp. Is this some lame attempt to get pvp'ers to kneejerk resubscribe to the game because they hear that the CoP is back in action? Thanks for pissing in pvp'ers cornflakes by taking away one of the coolest pvp integrations (probably the coolest) in the game. And now throwing it in our faces...Unimpressive.

This is a pve update and should be in a pve section. Where is that new sheriff mod12 when they are needed?

While I think people have every right to be upset over the I13 PvP changes, I think you should cut Ghost Falcon some slack on this one. They just announced the return of the COP and didn't want PvPers to think that they were also bringing back base raids.

But hey, if being snarky to the devs who are trying to be upfront with you is your thing, go for it. Look how well that's worked so far.

I'll cut ghost falcon some slack when my fire/sonic corr isn't just pure ornament in pvp.

If I spend a tenth as much time trowing wrek at ghost falcon as I did learning to play, io-ing, and pvping on that thing, I still have about 25 hours of wrek to trow.

Knowing nothing of the old CoP - what did it used to be like? Aside from the Items of Power and their connection to Base Raids (the only part I do know something about), how was the old Trial linked to PvP?

The items of power as the reward was planned opened your SG base to base raiding.

This switch was never thrown, the brief period it was live, the items did not set the PVP raid flag.

The Cathedral itself was always a PVE 'raid'

Eh, I sorta feel sorry for GF, pretty sure he drew a short straw or something since I didn't figure he'd be the one to post something like this >.>

Yeah. I'd have had my money on The Ocho drawing the heat.

But I guess the Base raids not actively being worked on is a big announcement, and maybe they thought it deserved a Dev rather than a Community rep.

I used to have a decent amount of fun in our 'friendly' base raids within our coalition. I am sorry that they wont be coming back in any form soon.

Why is everyone complaining about this being in the PvP section? GF just announced that something that used to be related to PvP will not be when it's reimplemented, it's not that big of a deal. It just seems like a lot of people just need to ***** about anything.

They could've just included it in their announcement that there won't be base raiding or any type of PvP in it (WHICH I think most pvpers already knew before they even announced it due to the lack of sheer PvP interest from the devs and being ignored for 99.9999999% of the time this game has launched PvP). But to post it IN the PvP Forums is a slap in the face, since you know....it's all about PvE now.

It's not needed. It's lame.
