I think Union used to have a TS server. Its still up and running
but I dont know if its still a 'Union' TS server. Im sure someone
will tell you more. I dont even play on the EU servers yet

As for Vent, I think that will cost alot of money to get set
up.

I think the idea of Sirens is for the battles to take place
at the hot spots. Thats how I envisioned it and I presume the
devs did also. The drones where to stop the sad cases from
killing you as soon as you step outside the hospital.

PVP fights at hotspots is a bad idea imo, it will just lead to inevitable debt and people will get angry..

Well I thought it was good at the time of development. But
after testing it out I guess its just not enough to keep
people interested in going to a specific point or area on
the map.

Hopefully with the new I7 PvP zone, there will be more to it
than just kill the other faction. It seems to involve entire
map tactics. It might even take the coordination like that
from a hami raid to successfully own the zone. But hopefully
it wont be that hard.

So basically, if the player is TPing you from your hospital
then the blame and anger can be directed at the map developer.

Id really like it if they increased the XP people get from killing
mobs in sirens call.

Defiant has a great community with some great players, but Union seems more open to PvP. Which is a real shame.

Onion is more open to anything, but Deviant do throw better parties.

Well im all about getting drunk! Off to defiant then!

I think when I eventually come over from the US servers Ill
be joining Union. This is another nice thing I heard about this
server.

Stickying this for a few days so that 1AT members get a chance to see it.

Heh, thats so nice. Definately something the US boards would
never do.

CoV is a harder game even though there are some ATs that can
be easily played but not easily played well.

Because I just play with Guild mates and we invite pick ups
now and then, I really can only imagine how hard it is to
get a good team going in CoV.

There are alot of new people to the game and alot of old
people there also.

Unlike CoH, CoV isnt as basic of an AT concept where by one
AT does the damage, another tanks, another buffs and another
controlls and buffs.

The damage dealer just blasts away. Ive a 38 Fire/Energy
blapper that just gets sooo boring after playing a corrupter.
I could set up a macro to play him its that bad.

My lvl 39 Stone/Fire tank kicks serveral kind of butt. He is
far too easy to play and boring. ALl he does is sit there
and taunt and then AOE attack now and then. I much prefere
my lvl 33 Brute. Energy Aura (Gimp, waiting on I7)

My lvl 37 empathy defender is only fun in PvP. He gets boring
on teams just healing people and applying the same buffs
over and over. I much prefere my lvl 40 thermal.

I have an illusion/kinetics lvl 44 controller. I like her
alot. I dont have the AOE hold so im not much of a "holder"
I controll in a different way. I controll the mobs and my
team.Controllers are unique and IMO, entirely negate the
Defender set. Especially FF. So many dam Illusion/empathys
running around my server getting ready for PVP and Base
Raids. From looking at Dominators Id have to say they seem
to me more influential then controllers. A few guild mates
ive noticed help me out as a brute more than I can thank
them. Sappers, bosses , Psi spiders that arachnos have often
get taken out of the game by Doms. Then when the big fight
comes domination kicks in. Controllers can be played like
Doms, but they aint because of the secondary. CoH teams
lack any real controller and TBH , they dont need one.

The tank sits there and takes agro.. snooze
Blasters just stands away and blasts.. snooze
Defenders support the team.. eventaully snooze
Controllers support team and controll mobs.. interesting most
of the time. Really there is not much need for a controller
because the tank can do this job.
My lvl 40 Ice/Dark corrupter often finds himself just using
only 70% of his powers on a good team. Controllers are the
same.

This makes for a more fun and hard PVE MMO game. But oh gawd
it makes for hard PVP teams. Villains cant just buff up their
blaster and give him a dedicated empathy and let him destroy
the other team. Thats CoH team pvp.
Villains cant do this. They need to stay close and work
together to recieve the same amount of power that the Heros
can get easily.

I like to belive , that a good Villain team is better than
a good Hero team. I dont know if this is true though.

But this game is constantly changing and today isnt
tomorrow. Toggle dropping blappers might not be around in
a month. They might go back to using their range attacks
more, thus changing major PvP fights. My blapper will
certainly not try take out Scrappers solo if I dont toggle
drop. If I am to ill have to use my range attacks and use
my powerful melee ones smartly.

One thing I miss about CoH , and this might seem a bit odd,
is the bright bold colours. The simple RGB concept. CoV is
always so dark and gloomy. I think bright colours used
correctly can look evil too.

Pick up groups mostly always suck. I usually only last a
mission before quitting. But high lvl PUGs are mostly decent.

But definately PUGs on Villains are alot worse than Hero
PUGs.

I actually considered getting a US copy of the game and playing over there

[/ QUOTE ]

I am very tempted to pop over and see what it is like over there especially as there is a free trial (click me) at the mo.

[/ QUOTE ]

Im the opposite. I play on Virtue on the US game CoH and
CoV. Im currently considering moving on the UK servers.

The PvP isnt all that great unless you stay up to 1am and
4am in the morning.

The OP had a nice experience. But its not always like that.
Smack talk over broadcast is regular on most servers but
its probably the same over here.

First off theres a certain tone in your post I'm not sure I like. Anyway, to answer your question, I'm not really sure. I tend to get so focused on the current kill that his/her friends arent really important to me. On top of that, I havent had the trembling hands from this game yet, I was drawing from my time spent in the MUDing world. Hopefully things will get a lot more exciting sometime soon, maybe when I build my mob teleporting pvp toon cheap kills ahoy

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah.. the trembling hands. Ive gotten that a few times
actually. Only recently Ive been making a few vids of myself
killing people in PvP while using about 99 inpirs and
taking on entire groups solo. Ive been getting trembling
hands every time.
