The Issues I see at 20 minutes instead of 10 minutes

<ul type="square"> [*]Fights are down to who can burn break frees faster [*]Players get worn out and its a test of stamina and real life endurance [*]20 minutes is dull for anyone watching [*]Matches are really annoying if your up against a really good team and your bad [*]10 minutes is enough time to decide a winner [/list]

The issues I see with level 40 instead of level 50

<ul type="square"> [*]Certain ATs will be disadvantaged by the level drop. - Certain ATs will be disadvantaged at level 50 anyway.[*]All the serious players will respec their builds and buy appropriate level IOs - At level 50 casual players that have worked for their IOs need not put in all the extra effort and still have a chance of their characters being on par with more enthusiastic players [*]There are less powers at level 40 and its not very reflective of the skill on the servers at this moment in time - Closest its too is Warburg and alot of players who play in zones aren't interested in the arena.[/list]

That would be the best way, but I don't see it happening until a major overhaul is made.

S4 allowed Hami-Os, some teams had more than others but it wasn't the reason why some lost and some didn't. The same can be said about Purples and IOs.

Endurance Drainage ftw!!!

I think it could be done for TFs, but the Devs would have to do some tests and get the story summary onto one screen that wasn't lots of text or too crowded.

For example a picture of the main contact with a speech bubble, a picture of another contact or the enemy putting a plan into motion.

Cage isn't as effective as it used to be, so I wouldn't rely on it.

entirely new similar feature

Paradox alert!

They need to add a dashing move that everyone has access to, so Melee toons can close distance easily and Ranged players can get out of the way. It should have a recharge time of 5 seconds and the dash distance shouldn't be huge, but just enough to get a hit in.

Adjust the recharge and dash distance if its too good/bad. Not sure if different AT should have different values.

I want free stuff.

Ditto..

yer its called "free issues"

[/ QUOTE ]

You have to pay a subscription to get those.

Why do you get free game time when they release a new issue then? Even if its 2 days. Your paying to play the game online, not for the issues.

Phase has already been nerfed and its fine as it is.

The only AT/Powerset i've felt weak on out of the ones I have is Grav/Sonic. Lots of rooting, and not much damage/effect on the enemy.

1 AT out of at 10. Nobody takes them for PvP builds.

I do.

Thats an option, BUT peeps with those "imba" builds(like myself) that have worked hard for those builds, so that dont sound like fun to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Its an option, meaning its not mandatory. You just need to agree with who ever your fighting not to use it. If a Dev hosted PvP came up with it as a mandatory rule, then its up to you whether to enter or not. I think there would be more people entering than there would be deciding not too. Personally I might consider using a different toon that might not have a fully IO'd build. Just because I might think they were more effective without IO's. Such is the fun of Alting. I feel sorry for GG.

Go in RV teleport to AV. Oh wait wasn't that what started this discussion

There are already lots of public PvP events, i don't know about other servers but Union has a weekly get together and recently there was zone PvP. There has been more player organised stuff than dev organised PvP. Not to mention the nightly disorganised stuff. Seems like player stuff is a few times a month and dev is once a year.

Zone PvP is different to Arena PvP and the night in question was an organised PvP night in RV. Everyone likes to do something different once in a while and PvP in a zone can be fun. I think adding more options to Arena battles would improve them, no set bonuses is a start and something that wasn't for seen in I4. The arena needs updating to take into account recent issues and changes. I'd also like to see a map select and objective options added.

Lie mode: Shenny is contributing loads to this discussion. Serious mode: i don't think having rewards for arena PvP would be good. Maybe badges when its balanced but other than that it should be fun enough to draw people in without extra incentives.

The amount of inf on the auction house just plummeted. Anyway back on Topic: i hope the dev's do what needs to be done to make PvP excellent and not just what they can fit in. I'd rather it take ages and they get it right than make huge changes quickly and get it wrong.

Isn't it Marlboros (sp?) rather than Sweet Chilli now? An while we're at it does anyone want to guess what i'm thinking? :P
