I dunno man. Freedom always has active arena chat, kickballs, and RV was packed this weekend which was a lot of fun. There has been more life in pvp than I've seen in 8 months+. Still not much but it's way better than it has been.

I'm pretty confident we will see some changes by the end of the year. And yes I AM holding my breath on this one.

The game is fine.

PvP has been dead for years for most practical intents and purposes.

Sure, there are still some active PvPer's, but I'd doubt it's even 1% of the population.

That said, if you enjoy PvP, and can find folks (Freedom, as noted, usually
has some in Siren's and RV), go for it.

Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.

Nightly kickballs so far. Do they need to run 24/7 to count?

I stand by my statements even if this thread was started as a joke. Mark my words if pvp isn't fixed the game will die just as soon as the i21s get sick of running our content.

Almost all current AAA MMO's have dedicated pvp servers that function like our LFG system constantly running with a much more in debth system (multiple scenarios, large world based, etc.) so yes. . . they do need to run 24/7 to count. And thats assuming that our lame almost all user created pvp crap should even count

Well if TF's/raids/teams in general only ran at night time I would certainly call this game dead sooo.......

everyday (freedom/RV) full of players..... maybe leave liberty?

The recent merging of the server list help adding new players from EU as they know Freedom is dedicated pvp server. But the regular time window of playing is not the same as in US. The morning in US is the EU afternoon...

Otherwise,
Please (if) Redname, bump Warburg zone to 50 to give us a bone until you'll get some regular attention on pvp (if).

All in all, to even begin to play, you need a spare 1.5 bil, and to be good, you need a spare 10-15 bill. My toon has no pvp ios and standing next to a widow with them, seems pretty obvious, but hey, i already know im just staying for the first month of i21 so many things can change by then

also, at this point if they do go back to i13, who believes that the toons that are good now, wont be ridiculously overpowered?

So, let me see if I understand this.

Your position is: If the devs don't fix pvp - a community currrently comprised
of a few hundred regulars (generously speaking - I pvp on Freedom), it will ruin
or kill the entire game for the 99,000+ people that don't care a whit about pvp.

Is that about it?

Alrighty Then -- Carry On...

Every time I read a statement like this I shake my head. This is because every time someone makes that kind of statement, they are wrong. You are wrong. An expensive build may make a character more powerful, but a skilled player (or team) on a cheap build will still beat an unskilled player (or team) on an expensive build.
