The Katalyst

I don't care that the servers are down, I do care about the lack of respect towards players in giving us zero clue as to what the emergency is... if it's an exploit or bug fix, tell us that, you don't have to say what it is EXACTLY, but we are left in the dark right now.

If maintenance needs to be done it needs to be done, I'm not disputing that, it's the fact that we have no real way of knowing whether it was "necessary" since we have no official statement on what is actually being done.

Also sure, they don't have to do 2xp weekend but when they announce it I expect to be getting the most out of it, and today I haven't. Also if they didn't have such bad sub numbers they wouldn't need to rely on promotional things like free weeks and 2xp weekends to get people to keep playing, which is directly related to things like this.

I like how you have taken servers down TWICE on 2xp friday and not given as an actual reason as to why.

Glancing at what made it into the beta so far, I'd say that was another dev conspiracy to keep us guessing for another 2 months of sub money.

Leveling a toon to level 4 makes me feel committed to a toon and I already have a bunch of things to work on...

All joking aside if you can get people to street sweep or get their toon to level 4 somehow (Not difficult by any stretch of the imagination) I think it could be pretty sweet.

lol, thanks for bringing so much attention to this thread. Despite the fact that it's just back and forth drama, it brings attention to it and draws people in, so go ahead and continue to argue. I will sit back and continue to watch the channel grow and watch KBs and other arena events become a mainstay again.

Thanks for the support, channel is still open and growing.

Also the channel is up to 170 members, pretty much all from Freedom, still growing. just sayin.

I know PvP is kind of looked down upon by most of the PvE community but it would be cool if you could list this new channel under a PvP sub-category, we are using it as a community to rally remaining Freedom PvPers to squeeze what's left out of PvP, it's a growing channel and what not, and it's public... Refer to my other thread on the Freedom boards for extended info

channel is called "Freedom PvP 2011"

Thanks.

You would have to seriously consider banning powers that can easily abuse KB, not whole power sets but those powers in particular, (Power Push, Force Bolt... anything that does over mag 9 KB... *cough* tk blast)

I encourage people to do this, if for nothing else then the prospect of prizes and maybe having some fun times and meeting those elusive PvPers who are decent people . I don't know if I will do it or not but I can see there's good times to be had here so go for it if you can make it.

I realize I posted this in 2 places but not everyone reads arena boards, but yeah, if you're interested let me know or ask around Freedom AC and such places and someone will invite you.

Hi, I know a lot of you probably don't recognize me but I have recently taken a pretty vested interest in getting some quality PvP going on in Arena on Freedom, and have recently created a central channel for it since the reality is AC is barely used for anything besides drama and trash talk. "Freedom PvP 2011" is a place a lot of us have agreed will be a good place for the remaining PvPers in the game, particularly on Freedom to start gathering together to make the best out of what's left, we have plans to do various arena events, including the already started nightly Kickballs.
We are hoping to get some other stuff going, that is more competitive, including hopefully sometime after i21 getting a full league started. I'm sure you are also asking how one person plans to do this... Well I don't know, but I do know that we have plenty of people willing to help out from the PvP community.
People more of you may recognize that are currently supporting this, @Teh Artic, @PF?, @Midnight Havoc, and some others that I can't remember, as well as a good supporting cast of people who are not "vets" but are interested in making this happen.
Currently we are using an anti-exclusivity policy in the channel, it's public and any PvPers are welcome to join, or anyone who is interested in PvP.
Only rules/guidelines of the channel are: Keep drama out of it as much as possible. I know that trash talk and such things are part of PvP, but if it becomes drama/trolling/griefing/etc. all people involved will likely be silenced and be asked to take it to tells. So far so good, have over 120 members mostly from Freedom, if you want in, send a tell to @TheKatalyst or join through the channel search, or ask around on Freedom there's other mods who will be happy to invite you.

Sorry for that huge wall of text but I wanted to make sure I covered everything. Thanks!

PS: We are doing this now in the hopes that i21 will bring back some people who would also be interested in this along side the non-vet people.

tl;dr

New channel for Freedom PvP events "Freedom PvP 2011" have good support for it, growing numbers and already have started doing events. Ask @TheKatalyst or ask around in AC as there are other mods who are cool people who will invite you, or you can join through channel searching.

I'm under the train of thought that whatever you have fun with in this game is what you should do, doesn't matter what other people think. If you like fiteklub, more power to you, it was certainly more popular than ranged arena type stuff for a good while so clearly there's something there.

To clarify I don't personally think it looks that fun but I've also never really tried it hardcore like some of these guys who do it, so y'know... don't knock it till you try it kind of thing.
