You're right. I made an unjust assumption. I apologize.

But wouldn't more players in the zone, jerks or not, given you more opportunities to get your kills? Again, there were plenty of ways to deal with unseemly types that didn't involve killing the game for a lot of people who enjoyed PvP as it was that weren't out just to ruin someone's day.

[/ QUOTE ]

Looking at it from a numbers point of view, you are correct. More players = more opportunities to earn the badge in question.

But for me having fun is more important. I never worried about slotting or PvP builds. As a result I die far more frequently than dedicated PvPers. It doesn't bother me tho if I'm having fun.

Was it nice finally getting the badge? Yes, but my SG lived without that powersource for two years. We never had a lot of PvP members and they left a while back. I earned the entire SG badge myself, by that I mean I was the only person in my SG that ever worked on it.

My friend was the one that talked me into working on the badge after he found out I was given the Base Architect permissions in my SG this past January. He appealed to my desire to have a chance to get one of the coolest (IMO) looking base items. (The Dimensional Vortex)

All that being said the only thing I feel is worse then the guys that acted like jerks in PvP, were the people that would go into PvP zones and then have the gall to complain about getting killed by bullies when they were only trying to work on a badge. Those knuckle dragging inbreds off the booger farms of the bayou needed to be introduced to the business end of a listen stick.

[ QUOTE ]
I feel the changes they made have improved PvP. Among the people that quit over the changes were some of the most obnoxious losers that were driving off potential pvpers.

Since those guys left I even started playig enough to earn the Dimensional Vortex for the SG I'm in. I never would have bothered if the recent pvp changes hadn't driven off the jerks.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, it wasn't that the changes improved PvP, but rather, the changes drove off people that you avoided in order to get a PvP reward without having to PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, totally false. The only way to earn the SG badge was to actually participate in PvP. There's no way around it. You have to make 750 kills in a PvP zone. Not NPC's, other players. My friend and I teamed up in Bloody Bay and killed Villains. And the last time I checked killing other players is the definition of PvP.

[ QUOTE ]
Sorry, my post was directed at the OP, and his 'buff everyone' suggestion, now you.

[/ QUOTE ]

No problem. No harm, no foul.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm curious how making PvP a series of stalemates, because niether side will be defeatable, is supposed to make that part of the game more fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

My point was that what made PvP more fun for me was when the jerks left. My friend and I didn't catch any grief like we used to experience and before either of us knew it we both had earned the SG badge that unlocks the PvP powersource for our respective SG's. If the devs continue to work on PvP I only hope it doesn't draw the jerks back. It was those jerks that discouraged a lot of PvE players and gave the good PvP players a bad reputation. If the jerks return in large enough numbers I'll stop going to PvP zones again.

Bravo! I absolutely love your histrionics. Very amusing. You winz the Interwebz Oscar for Drama. What are you going to accuse me of next . . . racism? Sexual harrassment? Barratry?

Tune in next post folks, Same bat time. Same bat channel.

Lol. Yeah that was me. And again sorry about dropping the "i". I didn't realize that shortening it that much would be a problem. Thanks for letting me know tho.

Let's see . . .

Politely welcomed the OP to the forums.

Welcome to the forum.

Explained that his suggestion has been brought up many times and quite recently.

[ QUOTE ]
You have posted one of the oft repeated suggestions about RMT spam.

Offered helpful information on the search feature to assist the OP with his future suggestions.

[ QUOTE ]
1. Click on "Search" up at the top of the forum.

2. On the left, under "Forum(s) to search," select "Suggestions and ideas."

3. On the right, Keyword Search Terms. This is probably where your problem was if you did search. Try the following, exactly as typed:

+email -"re: "

This will search for anything with the string "email" in the title.The -re: portion of it removes replies, so you'll see the root of every thread that comes up, letting you see just how many threads there are on this. (The last helps for other subjects, as well.)

4. Click the "In subject" radio button. You want to ignore the body.

5. Leave Username Search blank.

6. Date range, Newer Than, change the 1 to a 3, and the time to Months.

7. Result format doesn't matter. Click on "Submit."

Provided the names of the threads within the past 30 days so the OP can read them over and see if anyone has already offered improvements to his suggestion.

Seriously if you think I've been attacking you, and violating the forum rules by providing you with the the very rules you seem to be unaware of in this thread, then I strongly suggest that you or Munki click on the notify moderator button down there by the post extras, and we'll see what they have to say.

but what could it hurt to be able to access it all year around?

It would lose its novelty.

[ QUOTE ]
Read the whole thing and got annoyed by the repeated grammar error. Even Suess knew to when to use "nor" in place of "or".

[/ QUOTE ]

Really?

Are you sure about that Wikked?

Do me a favor then. Click on this link, read the actual book Green eggs and ham, and then tell me exactly how many times Dr. Seuss used the word nor instead of or.

I don't have the story memorized and that link is the one I used for reference so I could stay as close to the linguistic rythm as possible in my parody.

So how many times did he use "nor"?

Oh and no hard feelings.

Seperate note: Its not so bad that someone reposts a topic already started on the forum. It could be that perhaps alot of people have been talking about it, and to get it the exposure it needs (to not have it passed over so easily under 100s of other posts) the issue is revisited in a new topic. Moderators will take note of things like this sooner, and can bring it to the attention of those who it may mean something to on the Developer team.

Except, of course, they asked us not to do that:

Cross posting is not permitted. As a courtesy to others before beginning a new thread, please look to see if an active thread on that topic has already been established using the Search feature.

WOW! you are taking my suggestion very personal. By any chance are you a dev ? Suggestions are simply that suggestions. In this case COH is dated and a newer graphics engine and combat would open up a world of possibilities that you cannot with the current engine. What is the problem ?

[/ QUOTE ]


The problem (and I suspect you know this...you claim years of experience with the game yet are posting under a brand new forum account) is that you opened your post with a slam on the dev team's intelligence/competence. Most people (and some have stated as much) will stop reading right there, so they're not even getting to your suggestion.

[/ QUOTE ]

The fact the OP started a second CoH2 thread 15 minutes after he made this one, has also contributed to our decisions.
