Virtue PvP?

Where is it? Lol just looking out to see if any pvp could be found in Virtue.

Virtue pvp. lol.
I pvpd there awhile back, on and off for a year or two. Basically, it was a bunch on VERY casual rp'ing people, who just where there to have fun (like..really have fun, not the 'fun' that the hardcore people SAY they have) and then a few pvp sgs, who would only ever go into RV with full vent teams and fully tricked out. Then, the 'cool' people would proceed to farm the rping ones, till they went away, so they could talk about how wtf awesome they were, for killing a few casual players.

Now, I know this sounds like what Freedom pvp can be at times, but I also pvp there, and Virtue was way more Clique-y. If you weren't in their group, you were a nub and not worth helping.

The hilarious thing is that, as a player from Freedom, all these 'cool' people would always insult and pick on Free...and now, most of them have moved their pvp toons there. Guess that is progress though..they are finally owning up to the fact their aren't half as good as they thought.

The semi planned virtue pvp events I found to be even worse. An entire sg and their coal, ALL on one side..vs 4 random people, because that is 'how we have fun!' Obviosly a few people switching to even things out would just have totally ruined their fun and balanced pvp night.

Also probably want to look at Victory, Justice, Champion, and Freedom for pvp oriented things.

I know Victory is currently doing a lvl 5 stuff, and in Mayish there will be a 3v3 tourney/ladder (unknown as of yet)

I haven't checked the other servers...

And I agree with MisterD in the fact of the Virtue "clique-y" issue.

Well, that is why Virtue is the unofficial RP server, because PvP is not the focus. There are plenty of other servers that have strong PvP activities going on. If you want PvP go to Freedom, Victory, Justice, or Champion. If you want to RP go to Virtue or Union. If you want to run around pantsless and do "Speedo Hami Raids" go to Triumph.

For those that whine "But I want to PvP on Virtue", get over it. There are at least 4 servers that have strong PvP communities. Go there. Why try squeezing a blood out of a stone? Let one server be for those that have no interest in PvP.

No server has a strong PVP presence. Even Freedom is dead these days.

If you want to PVP on virtue go for it. There's a few of us still doing it here. Please remember that most people have very high opinions of their characters, and so tend to avoid the humbling nature of PVP in this game.

@Xanatos/@Vince are always looking for more people to 2v2/1v1/2vSG. Get in touch

There's not a whole lot anywhere in the game, but you can usually find a few people in RV or the arena.

I'm always up for a duel or 2v2, feel free to send me a message. @Amarlex.

If you ever wanna 1vs1 or anything just send a tell @Steel'

I haven't PvP'ed in aeons - but I would be up for a mass arena rumble. I.e. 64 people PvP'ing their brains out.

I'm always down for a little PvP. I'm not all that at all, but hey, it can still be fun. Global's @X-zero if you ever want a match.

they dont use actual attack powers there...it's all done with chat and emotes

go go broadcast pvp!

Broadcast pvp > regular pvp

With the popularity of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) I have been seeing a lot of MMA costumes around paragon city. It got me thinking of an RPvP fight club. My idea was if anyone wants to join and had an extra character slot, make a Willpower Scrapper, Tanker, Stalker or Brute. You will have to use a Natural Weapon, such as a Battle Axe, Broad Sword, Claws, Dual Blades, Katana, Staff Fighting, Street Justice, Super Strength, Martial Arts, Titan Weapons, and War Mace. This will be more than likely a mix between Fight Club, Blood Sport and MMA. The reason I picked willpower as the armor is I believe it will fit the RPvP theme. With training a fighter becomes tougher (Resist), faster (Defense), better stamina (Quick Recovery), and heals faster due to just being healthy (Fast Healing). We need to have a winner and a loser for every fight and I like the fact that this set does not have a heal except for Stalkers. For that reason Heal Decay and Diminishing Returns will be activated for the fights.

Rules:

• No Travel Suppression - Characters will not have their travel speed decreased or ability to teleport disabled after they attack.
• No Travel Powers - Characters are limited in how fast they can run and how high they can jump. They cannot use Fly or Hover, or powers that mimic those effects. They cannot use Teleport, except for powers that Teleport your enemies. This rule does not affect the other effects of these powers (such as any defensive boosts), those will still activate when the power is toggled on.
• Cage Match – Since this game does not have an octagon we will do all matches in the cage.
• No Inspirations – Inspirations can prolong a fight and we will need a winner/loser
• No Set Bonuses – Yes I said it “No Set Bonuses.” Before every match you will be check to see if you have set bonuses. It will be like using steroids and is not permitted. You will be allowed to use Regular Enhancements, Common IO’s, Hydra Origin Enhancements, Crystal Titan Origin Enhancements, or Hamidon Origin Enhancements.
• No Temporary Powers - Disallows the use of any temporary powers players may have on their character.
• Rated Matches – All matches will be rated and a person with a lower rating can challenge anyone that has a higher rating.

• Strawweight 1 – 5
• Flyweight 6 – 11
• Bantamweight 12 – 13
• Featherweight 14 – 21
• Lightweight 22 – 26
• Welterweight 27 – 31
• Middleweight 32 – 37
• Cruiserweight 38 – 40
• Heavyweight 41 – 46
• Super Heavyweight 47 – 50

That idea sounds pretty legit though I'd like to allow set bonuses.

I agree let the sets be for middleweights to super heavyweights. Find @Masters I'm really interested in kicking this off.

I would not suggest going on with this event.

As someone who spent the last 3 years with his attention on Fight Club PvP, I know, and 2 of my friends know, there are certain combinations that are going to dominate this competition.

The rules are so specific that I can already see the limitations on people, making it impossible to counter certain tactics.

You've taken Rock/Paper/Scissors and removed the Rock. Everyone will be rolling Paper, and since WP is the only secondary, there is nothing to kill Scissors.

As fun as this competition may be for some people, understand that a couple of us diehard min/maxers will completely obliterate this competition. This is some of the most imbalanced competition I have ever seen.

Do not give away prizes for this, and no dev should help organize this. If it were to go through, you'd have 3-4 PvPers killing everyone else within the first minute for every single match. It would be broken as hell.



I -could- provide a nice list of powers to ban in order to stop this from happening. For example, stop WP/SS tanks from spamming Jab/Box with 3-4 procs and killing everything. In this case, you'd ban Boxing from the competition.

If you include set bonuses, you have a select few who know exactly how to PvP spec their build for fighting WP toons. The gap between the average player and the top player would be extremely high. This would look unfair to people, and really, it is.

If you exclude bonuses, then you see a few privileged individuals using 53 HOs and damage procs in their attacks. Dominating frankenslotted toons.

If you make it SO only, it's impossible to enforce them from frankenslotting because there's no way to tell.



So here are my problems with this idea.

If you enforce WP only, I can think of 2-3 combinations that could not be countered.

If you enforce no set bonuses, you have a huge gap between 53 HO users and expensive procs vs those who can't afford it.

If you enforce SO only, there's no way to know if someone is lying or not.


My biggest problem with this competition is that it wouldn't be a competition at all. I'm known for specializing in Melee Fight Club duels and have been for years, but these specific rules here just make my job a million times easier, and while I had to make my build have enough accuracy for SR/EA/Shield, or have enough recovery for end drainers, this means I can go full out regarding a lot of things.

It wouldn't be fair, at all.



Conclusion: I don't want to annouce what would break this competiton so that everyone can make them, but I'm willing to respond to a PM from Aumakua explaining it.

So far from the e-mails I have been getting from other players about using all weapons and powersets is a bad idea and actually someone suggested that to limit it to MA, SJ and SS/WP to limit overpowering builds. I kinda like the idea since it is actually RPvP and not regular PvP. If this works and if this work and gets a following then later we can start the UMMC (Unlimited Meta Melee Championship) where all superpowers are allowed, but for now I do think we should keep it limited. What do you think?

Or we can just have two groups a Human group and a Superhuman group running at the same time? The superhuman fights will be the main event.
