Virtue will always be the unofficial RP server.
It just needs some encouragement now that powergaming is a mainstream activity for post-50 content.
Step 1 would be a static thread dedicated to RP raids. -
I'd pay for unlockable accolade powers. The passives mainly.

Just asking because an influx of new players would no doubt bring with it people interested in PVP. Might be a good idea to remove/fix things like heal decay, travel suppression, and the various pvp bug still in the game from Issue 13.
Who knows...it could reinvigorate the PVP community! If ever there was a time to do it...now is certainly that time! Especially as your average PVPer tends to want to just kit out his character as quickly as possible. (Even though they'd play for free...they'd be hitting up the cohstore like maniacs.) -
Okay guys I sent in a bug report on Bitter Ice Blast.
This worked for Fiery Embrace. Hopefulleh it will be a repeat performance. -
So creepy. Love it.

I am glad we are all friends again. Things got a bit rough back there. Never again.

Competitive gaming = Hello Kitty?
I'd only diss competitive games if I was good at them. I'm not. So I won't.

Unfortunately, fixing Ice blast will be an open admittance by the devs that i13 PvP changes were a pile of ****. They'd have to start doing a lot of similar changes across the board, I'd imagine.
That's just something I don't see happening. -
Ice is broken. The T3 blast does less than the T1 blast.
Psi is fine. (Psine?) -

So you would rather me call him a hypocrite? My calling his earlier comment ironic in that he acted "elitist" when concerning what goes on these forums and what shouldn't in his opinion was much more respectful, but when he gets angry for my now calling him a hypocrite, I shall point him in your direction because you requested the newer option. Have a enjoyable day, sir.

You presume too much about people's motivations. -

However, it was a very well formed, coherent, and well thought out critique. Thank you.

Yet you come off that way due to your problems with the Rookery threads in this very forum... mmmmm, tastes like irony.

Quote:10% is huge. As if they didn't fire Castle sooner.Originally Posted by Reiraku
In Ex Libris' "Campfire" thread, she cited that as of i10, zone PvP population accounted for just above 10% the total player population as regulars. This was a slow decline from its highest point in i7. So yes, PvP has broken and maintained double digit population for quite a bit of time. This also doesn't consider arena users.

Virtue's the only server where roleplay binds people to a specific "universe" (the Virtue 'verse).
I consider them "Earth-2" tbh...

Hi Everyone,
Since there has been a great deal of nonconstructive activity in this thread, I thought I'd take this opportunity to remind you all of Rule 2 of the forum rules:
If you have a problem with a particular post, please don't start mud-slinging. Report it, and we will take appropriate action, if necessary.
Thank you for your understanding!
Toodles,

Specifically:
- Spam - this is considered to be repetitive posting of the same topic or text or nonsensical posts that have no substance and are often designed to annoy other forum users.
- Bumping posts in order to keep them near the top of the list is also prohibited. Likewise, the use of "/signed" posts and /jranger are not allowed in that they dont engender constructive discussion.
- Cross posting - 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. If so, place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forum needlessly and many good ideas may be lost. Use the Search link to keep discussions about one topic to one thread only.
I understand moderation of community forums requires a degree of leniency as nobody enjoys heavy-handed moderation. But please either enforce all of your rules or enforce none of them. It's a bit unfair to pick and choose like you are doing.

Not at all.

Why would free accounts not be allowed to PVP? Is the PVP population too big to accommodate them or something? lol

Edited for clarity.
Okay, obviously, if I'm posting in this thread, I'm here to rain on your little parade.
The fact is, from the time that PvP was added to the game in May 2005's Issue Number 4: Colosseum, to the so called "PvP Disaster" that was Issue 13 in December 2008, the Player-Versus-Player population never rose above single digit percentages.
One of the developers went so far as to once say that the Old-Hollows map, the pre-issue 12 version, averaged more player traffic... that is the number of unique players entering the zone... for each server... than all of the PvP open-area zones and arenas combined.
The simple facts are these: The PvP player population in City of Heroes was never large enough to justify the resources that were spent to develop Issue 4. The PvP player population has never been a large, or profitable, part of the player-base. NCSoft nor Paragon Studios have any financial incentive to focus on PvP development for this game, City Of Heroes.
Now, as far as I am aware, NCSoft's official policy is that they would like to drive PvP-oriented gamers to their Aion and Guild Wars franchises, which have been successful in attracting a wide-range of Player-versus-Player enthusiasts.
My suspicion is that unless NCSoft has a fundamental shift in policy; for example an overwhelming financial incentive; to fund the development of player-versus-player content for City of Heroes, it is very likely that Player-versus-player development is effectively halted.
Now, I get what you are trying to accomplish here.
If you think that you are going to be successful in rallying other Player-versus-Player enthusiasts against Matt "Positron" Miller for a deliberate out-of-context quote that is framed to make a non-existent player faction seem more important than it was ever was...
You are not.
Thanks. -
Agreed.

Depends on whether or not F2P and Premium accounts can access PVP zones and/or arena. Has that been confirmed?
Even if they can access arena/PVP zones, its already been said that access to Inventions is on a fee basis. Meaning the free accounts may not get IO drops at all.
The freebie accounts don't have to receive drops, just GIVE drops when killed. -
Free accounts can't use IOs though.

Fresh start for everyone. Equal compromise. No-one's "turf". It's ideal.
