PvP; why not?

OK, a few days ago some of us did some PvP'ing in Bloody Bay and it was fun, no real trash talking, no vedettas formed (that I know of), & win or lose people seemed to just have a good time.

So, what I'd like to know is what would be the interest in maybe setting up a weekly PvP night, either pick a diffferent zone per week or go by highest vote for that week, just for yuks & fun, & maybe a chance for some PvP IO's.

Let me know what you think pro or con.

That was a blast, even if I was about 4-6 on one on one battles.

The funny thing? I was coming here to post this idea. What about making Monday night PVP night? Typically Monday is a sucky day (end of weekend, many people have to go back to work/school), so in the evening we blow of steam and take out our frustrations on each other!

Monday nights sounds like a good day to set it up for. Maybe a start time of 8-9pm(est)?

Since I am still jobless (still looking) time is not a huge factor to me.

With that said, I would like a little earlier. My wife and I are nocturnal most of the time (I am an insomniac) so we spend family time together late.

I would like it somewhat earlier as well.

I get up for work at 3 AM Central, so anything that runs too late is not really an option for me.

Interesting that this got brought up. I was kicking around the idea of an all-melee fight club type thing as a weekly event. I like melee, and all-melee fights tend to be the most evenly matched. It sucks getting kited to death because your scrapper or brute has no ranged ability.

Perhaps we could organize both events on different days, and make an attempt at breathing some life back into PvP on Pinnacle? Most of the jerks from the old days have moved on, so we should be able to do it without any hard feelings on any side.

Plus, it would be nice to fight someone who is actually capable of killing my main (Claws/Regen scrapper). I haven't been defeated by another player since last November, and it was more because the few people I found willing to fight me either weren't built as well or didn't have much skill at PvP than any skill I possess.

I like the idea of having 2 different days for different PvP modes, lets test the waters and see if we can make enough ripples. As for the time I suggested 8-9pm est as thats typically the time I get on, but I think I can manage getting on a little earlier on Mondays (at least for a few weeks, will have to wait to see about after depending on the job I'll hopefully be getting). Now Claws, if you don't mind going against a defender, I think I could give a run for you money, I do tend to stay close.

I vote for Siren's Call.

Without a zone event badge there, I have not earned the five hour badge for that zone.

I'll fight anyone on any character. I just like melee vs. melee for some reason. Maybe it's the feel of slugging it out up close and personal-like that does it.

I have a blaster and a defender myself that aren't too shabby if I get them into the right fights, as well.

Ok, Sirens Call seems like as good a place to start Monday Night Fights as any, hopefully there will be enough interest on the channels to get it off to a good start. Because of some 'unforseen' issues, I'm not exactly sure when I might be on tonight, but with a little luck I may be on around 7pm-ish, but please don't let me not being there hold it up, I'll try to get on as soon as I can.

I would not mind switching my SS/EA brute over for some melee matches if there were enough there to fight.

If I did, I'd like to try that Claw/regen in a match too.

Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us!

I got my butt kicked quite often, but it was a lot of fun.

Heck, me talking a little smack to try and draw the villains out did not work either.

Great fun, hope we do this again next week!

This is relevant to my interests. I haven't done any pvp since a lot of Pinnacle's pvp community moved on.

We can always use more PVP'ers.

I am not the best, but sometimes I am up for it, so drop me a line in chat anytime you want to PVP/Arena Fight.

Because I like Pinnacle.

If the game is so terrible, why be here at all?

If you were actually wanting PVP to become more active (potentially leading to more people calling for fixes,) in theory you'd want to encourage casual PVPers and/or PVE players to poke around at it on their own terms and get their feet wet. If all you were wanting were some short term easy kills for recipe drops or ego-buffing at the cost of driving away potential new PVPers, on the other hand, well...

because I'd rather have rare pvp with good people than frequent pvp. The bad seeds in the pvp community are a huge pain, and pvp isn't important enough to me to deal with that in my search for the good people in the main pvp community.

Meant to post a lot earlier, but was held up. Monday Night Fight Night got off to a bit of a slow start, but had a pretty good finish, a team each (hero/villian) of 4-5 going at it for awhile, balance going back and forth, I'd have to call it a fairly good success. Thanks to everyone who came out to fight & gratz to anyone who even got a recipe out of it, but more importantly just had fun. We'll do this again next week and hope to have more in the brawl, & if you're a reader from another server with a few transfers burning a hole in your pocket, feel free to come try it out too!

Ok, letting everyone know that we'll be doing the Monday Night Fight Night again tomorrow! I'll try to be on between 7-8pm est to try to get it started but by all means, if there are enough people on earlier that want to do it please start, I'll be just as happy to get into it in the middle as at the begining.

I will not be along for this one.

The wife and I are spending a night together.

Hope the rest of you have fun!

"PvP" with the wife is always more fun than in CoX.
Have fun!

Going to give it another go tomorrow in Siren's Call. Monday Night Fight Night has been in the MOTD and I'll advertise on the help/LFG channels, with it being in a lower lvl zone we may get more interest. Hope to see more there!

I'll try to make it this week, but as of now, the wife is on the computer and not letting go.

Dammit, I forgot all about this last night, I was planning on bringing a punching bag for you guys to try and kill. (Claws/Regen scrapper)

I'd still kinda like to loosely organize some kind of league, preferably 1v1 or 2v2 (if I can talk my wife into dueling)

Super-casual stuff, just kinda some sort of ranking system that gets updated when someone gets around to it. Matches set up when 2 league members happen to be on (because I can't commit to a regular schedule for anything)
