It seems that people are power hungry and wish for nothing other than to exert their dominance of PVP over eveeryone else to the point it is no longer fun to do so and now they are Invading our server in a rather unfriendly fashion.
My Question is this... And please think hard about this as the PvP community already feels they are blackballed from society as apparently allot of them report being placed on ignore from the Devs. 1.Why do people have to actually transfer servers in order to PVP with others? Why can we not reinvent PVP also to a degree is it not possible in the Arena to make an All Server setting? Just curious? I mean the matkets are merged across all servers are they not? Why can we not "Zone into" the same Map and have a 4 man team from Freedom matched against a 4 man team from Pinnacle without them haveing to leave their home server? Is it that difficult? or is their not enough Dev interest in the subject. Not trying to be slamming but you guys watch what we go through on the forums. Three maybe all 4 top teams have or are going to withdraw from our Pinn PVP ladder now because of people of questionable character. If we could set up matches cross server that would be ideal honestly we could do an all server league show up and fight and then not have to deal with those people on a weekly daily basis. As well without the hassle of transferring to TEST (<---lol IO DUPING) where anyone with a PSy can be king. it's so cookie cutter on test honestly Im surpised it lasted as long as it did. Most of the real PvPer's wont have anything to do with it. Diversity in PVP is king and we run teams in our league for the fun of it. And with people from other servers coming in trying to force open the door they don't understand what the league is about F U N <---- what is this word you say? And now its us against them we are fighting to show who can puff out their chest farther instead of enjoying what we started and the F U N is gone now so instead of breaking the sanctity of what we created we are withdrawing, that's another issue. But again my point is most of this drama would be washed if we could fight cross server. They could stay there we could stay here and run our league in peace and as well run a "Cross-server" "all-Server" league and they could stay there. I'm just thinking that there are a few other aspects of this game that bridge the server gap so please give it some thought. MAybe a PM response if possible as my curiosity is now peaked. A post would be better but I'll take what I can get |
Also, Aura, I believe Vex said the same thing that Xanatos had mentioned about the cross server yet only wanting to pvp with people on pinn. It was a few posts up, understandable that you'd miss it.
Yeah Vex beat me to the punch but I'm a lyrical wordsmith so I draw the crowds.

Infinity and Victory mostly

lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit
Not that this thread hasn't run its course...but if you look back at Arena history, there is a very legit case to be made for casual play and PvP play being encouraged from there.
Back in the day, oh around Issue 6-10 I'd wager, DJ Jester of W00tradio fame used to host a series of free for alls and broadcast them on his web radio program. While these would inevitably descend into kill stealing and so on, you always had a variety of builds and servers show up to compete.
Outside of that, there were Friday/Thursday kickballs where all you had to do is show up and play. Sure, sometimes you'd be fat kid but sometimes a team would also ask you if you'd want to join them...heck I got recruited by Proj ages ago through something like this, and I'd never have met all the interesting/cool/baffling people on Test if I hadn't jumped in.
The point is, if you want to become better or even if you just want to fight different people that might have cool builds or different play strats, Test is usually where you end up, or Freedom or wherever the Leagues are so far.
Really, even the douchiest people on the boards have been more than helpful with builds, advice, IO copying on test, coaching, etc. Are they going to razz you? Sure. But it's part of the 'meta', so to speak.
That said, make some teams, copy to test or Champion or Pinnacle and fight new people. You might find that outside the trolling (which, admittedly, can be hard to get past) there are some pretty cool guys and gals out there.
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
It's easy to ignore people's chat in this game. If you let them get to you that's your fault.
The only thing that matters is the match. Win it if you can and if you can't, figure out what you need to improve on and win next time.

Even if they were undefeated I don't really see what you're trying to get at.
Yeah, how irrational of them. Pinn PvP 4 lif3.
I can't help but notice that it's the "top teams" that are threatening to pull out. Odd. I wonder why that is. You'd think they'd want more competition, given how much they love talking about being the "top teams" in forum posts and in their forum sigs...
... just a thought.
