Blown away

[Kinag]

There is an expansion planned with PvP (and other stuff).

And it'll ruin the game. CoH is so much not balanced for PvP, either the PvP addon will totally suck - or they'll have to totally rebalance every class, and everyones existing character will totally suck. Either way, adding PvP to what is a very fun game will make it a very sucky one. And will generate SOOO many whiney twats in /broadcast that I'll probably end up quitting when they put it in.

It's not forced pvp, so stay out of it then.

That's not the point. The point is, with the introduction of PvP, you'll also get the introduction of the whiners shouting "Class X killed me! Nerf, ffs!" - and so, the nerf bat shall be brought out the cupboard, and shall start swinging.

... Which will ruin the game. Completely. Just like with daoc

theres already a stlong whine for Mind controllers to get some love


and we need some love!!!!!

PvP = teh blaster nerf = teh Danya leaves CoH.

Bolting on PVP as an afterthought rarely works. So it's back to daoc for max r0x0ring for me.

Oh and thx for the compliment Danya /blush

What compliment? Truth be told I didn't even look at your profile, I just assumed it was fake.

Maybe im being silly but wouldnt it be a good idea to actually wait and see the pvp expansion before saying u will quit?
Look at it this way cryptic have done everything esle well so why not give them the benefit of the doubt and think hmm maybe they will do pvp well.
The fact city of villians and pvp was already being worked on before game released indicates its more than just a bolt on and maybe it has took this long because they wanted to do ir right

Irony is so wasted on some people.

I can't stay out of the expansion though. Yes I don't have to take part in PvP. But some people will want to, and therefore they will have to balance the game for it. Whether I personally take part in PvP or not is irrelevant.

If they nerf my char because it's considered overpowered for PvP (fire blasters have the highest total damage output of any class in the game due to the fact almost all my powers are AE DDs with DoT effects) to the point that I can no longer enjoy the PvE game I bought, then I'll quit. And that was my point - either they'll break PvE in trying to make PvP work, or PvP will suck. Either way they would really be better off not trying. Loads of people love this game as it stands, and by trying to please even more people by bolting on PvP, they run a very serious risk (imo) of ending up pleasing nobody.

wonder when the first SuperHeroBuffBot will be on when PVP launches uke:

 

[Belsameth]

there's no permanent buffs, like in DAoC, so I guess never. except maybe a pbae healer like tw0g saw...but that would be useless in pvp

 

[Danya]

Yeah anything you have to drag around with you tends to become more of a liability than anything - even in PvE it will likely be a liability except for powerlevelling people massively below your level.

 

[Tharion]

/agree with Bels

You can't really have a boof-bot in CoH as it now.
And nor will it ever be as I suspect.

If this changes feel free to me.

Look Out!

Runaway Thread!

Is this game out in the UK yet ? i wanted to get it for ages but didnt realise there was no PVP ;-(, which to me is whole point of lvling to be able to compete etc....

 

[Kinzana]

well bottom line = each game got its own thing .. if u think u going to like it play it or else stay away .. CoH fun game if u like it same as everything right ?
