RvR pvp for City of heroes

Why not add RvR pvp to city of heroes ? It shouldnt be too hard to add a large base or two to each pvp zone for players to fight for control. Add some kind of bonus for controlling the zone and that would improve pvp alot.

If they are looking to totally flush the game down the toilet, they should do this.

Now that I've looked up RvR and know that it stands for Realm Vs Realm - how do you propose they do it? Server vs. Server? A PvP zone like Recluse' Victory? I've never done any RvR, so I really have no idea how it all works. And there are already rumors of more integration between CoH and CoV.

Hmmm...

I wonder if they could do it as another expansion (not an 'Issue'). Make a dynamic new realm (maybe the Rikti homeworld?) where Longbow and Arachnos would fight for dominance? Have a couple co-op zones and make the rest PvP? Maybe allow people to play as the Rikti and have some 3-way PvP? Once a certain difficult-to-obtain goal is reached a faction, the zone becomes the territory of that faction, but the Rikti can take it back or the other faction can take if for themselves by reaching another difficult-to-obtain goal?

Your idea for improving PvP would like giving a child a lollipop to make him feel better about his toothache; avoiding the real issue and sugar coating it causing major issues down the road.

 

The reason RvR (a phrase coined by Mythic, mind you) works is due their on-going devotion and primary FOCUS on strictly RvR.  Anything less and you run into many issues that will ultimately break the game.  CoX is a co-op PvE game, with PvP that has been tacked on to add a little flavor.

I think base raiding is coming aka attacking another Groups base and levelling it to the ground.  This is the only feature that will keep me playing long term. But it has to be mixed with Heroes and Villains.

In a way Cox alredy has RvR....its called (Recluse Victory) Granted You have to Be lv40 to enter RV, Hero's and Villians compete to Change the Game map into control of there Good vs Evil Faction.
