PVP !!! Is there still hope ???

Ok, I was messing around when I saw an interview like this one

http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=25349

The thing about this one is, its the first time since i13 that someone says something like "Yeah, we ****** up in pvp" . Also saying the PVP community gave great feedback , makes us think that you know about what we say and discuss on the forums the last few years.

Also , there are plenty rumors lately (from good sources for me at least) that pvp will change and as much as I want this to be true im just trying not to be excited so I wont be dissapointed at the end.

Anyway here is the important for us part of the interview


ZAM: It seems that for the PvP crowd in City of Heroes, development hasn't been exactly at the level of what they've wanted. Are there any future developments coming along for die-hard PvPers?

Nate: We always fix bugs that come up with the current PvP system, and a couple of years ago we made it possible to balance PvP separately from PvE. The challenge is that it is very difficult to balance PvP in a game with over a thousand powers in hundreds of potential combinations, and we have made some changes in the past that didn't end up the way we wanted them to. "Just doing something else" isn't going to make anyone happy, least of all us. The community has given us great PVP feedback over the years and we have had some sound ideas internally, but we also want to find the right solution.

PVP !!! Is there still hope ???

Nope.

I was just about to link this when I saw your post. Seems like lots of shifting around recently, no more Castle, Babs, Mod 8, etc. Maybe someone in the new regime will listen; doubtful though.

When the comments start with this,

Yeah, there are still bugs to fix


Also notice how he doesn't actually answer the question, "Are future developments coming?". I wouldn't get your hopes up

Well, here's fervently praying that they give us back Mezz protection. Dark armor is completely useless in 1v1 nowadays.

At least back in i12, I could fear a controller before he got me held, wait out some of the holds, and keep applying pressure. nowadays it's like why bother.

Also, Siren's call is ridiculous without mezz protection. How are people supposed to battle for hotspots when they get hit by a minute-long stun?

I miss using BFs, and actually managing ur insp other then like nowa days bringing full tray of greens, I miss using a veng'd inferno and killing a whole AM gather, I also miss actually having all ur toggles drop really i do. But personally even with DR in this i13+ pvp in this game i still think that this game has better pvp then WoW or AoC or Champions Online.

New interview and I hear TWICE something like "PvP community gets ignored". What is going on here? Are they trying to keep us playing the game using fairy tales? or for the first time after i13 they are thinking its time to change some ****.

"Right now, there are a lot of side projects that haven't received much love, like City of Heroes' separated PvP community, or their super group base building community, both of which haven't felt much in the way of developer communication."

Why even play this game anymore for the pvp.It's dead and really isnt worth the effort. Might as well try DCUO,a game thats actually built around pvp

What a fantastic job by ZAM, sad thing is ZAM seems... seems to hear the cry better than our devs. I like how they still say CoH is cool just the two communities and then... we can be they only super hero game on the market again.

well... one can dream.

Its doomed forever! *slit wrists

Ok, read the article, applied the dev delay factor and divided by the BS quotient so guessing some minor changes, maybe next year. Hopefully they won't make it worse.

It looks like the forum mods are actually putting in a decent amount of work gathering info about what we do and don't want. And War Witch mentioned looking at pvp after i20. Now that i20 is around maybe they're finally going to stick to their word?

There might be a slight increase in PvP activity with the upcoming merging of the Euro and American server lists - a lot fo the Euro PvPers might want to try out PvP on Freedom server, for example.

All six of them?

WARNING: I bold names.

server list merger!!

PVP there still might be hope!!!

as long as it comes with free server transfers
