Ok, this makes no sense to me. There are a lot of MMOs on the market most of which have some form of PvP. The fact that you claim to be waiting here until you find one an MMO with good PvP implies that of all of the MMOs on the market CoX has the best PvP.

At one point, it did.


"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

That's some leap of logic there.

I think the allure is the free movement and speed of PvP. If you're a fiteklubber, moving to other games probably wouldn't be a problem.

Personally, every other MMORPG seems bad to me, but I'm not really into the genre. Just liked this game for some odd reason, though the current state is beyond bad for PvP, which is the only entertaining aspect.

Not at all. You stated that you plan to leave the moment you find an MMO with decent PvP. That sounds like a pretty solid statement that you do not like the PvP of ANY MMO currently on the market.

yes, it does imply that he doesn't like anyother pvp mmo on the market. it doesn't imply that s/he thinks cox has the best pvp on the market, which is what your original statement was.

it probably means that s/he, like the rest of the pvp community that is still around, is too lazy to leave to a current MMO and invest the time in a soso game when newer/possibly better ones are on the horizon. and there is some reason they're still here the most likely being friends still play and generic you is using the game as a glorified chat client or you're waiting on a sub to expire.

I heard from a semi-reliable source that they are looking into removing Travel Suppression and Heal Decay in PvP. At least the Travel Suppression when attacked or using a heal or inspiration, the suppression when you fire an attack yourself will probably remain, since it is still that way in PvE.

(The source is reliable, but that doesn't mean they won't change their minds about it)

I actually don't find this hard to believe. Well the part about them fixing anything pvp related is, but I believe the devs would acknowledge that TS didn't achieve the goal they had hoped.

If i'm not mistaken TS was not introduced because of kiting techniques, it was put in because practiced players can skip the rooting in power animations fairly easily. TS was added as a counter to this. The problem is that the amount of time suppressed is based on the type of power, when it should be based on the animation time of said power. Subsequently the freedom of movement and fast paced gameplay this game is known for was diminished in pvp. I'm not so sure that was their goal, but it might have been.

I don't have a rational explanation for why people getting attacked are suppressed. If I had to guess it's probably because they arbitrarily chose how long power types would cause suppression on the caster, and had to have the targets be suppressed or breaking combat would be too easy. *shrug*

We were all blown away , everyone was wishing we would have drilled him for questions about pvp, have the devs played in pvp before?
the devs' characters probably arent subject to the same pvp rules we are ;-)
they probably have i12 system on their characters and just laugh at the rest of us
