starting a new journey may not be so hard,
or maybe it has already begun.
There are many worlds,
but they share the same sky --- one sky, one destiny.

City of Villains...
Meh. Rehash of CoH in different clothes. Until they remove travel suppression and ED, every issue from now on will suck, just like 4, 5, and 6 did.
CoH/V would be the lamest games around if not for SWG..
You have no idea what your talking about.. If they didnt suppress travel while you attack how the hell would people kill each other in PVP..... It would be a bunch of Flashs on the screen running..

You see, every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.-Mr.Smith
First of all, you're the one who doesn't know what you're talking about. Emmert himself wrote that suppression was added to fix the jousting issue in PvE, NOT PvP. (Despite the fact that suppression was added when the arenas appeared, thus making Emmert out to look like a liar, he still insists suppression was a fix for PvE).
Now, do you know that when the arenas first went in that you could create a PvP battle that allowed you to turn off travel powers for ALL combatants??? Yep. Was right there on the PvP menu. So your assertion that using SS, SJ or fly in PvP made it impossible to kill anyone is completely and utterly false. If you chose to fight with it off for everyone, you could. If you chose to leave it on and have a bunch of Flashes zipping around the arena, you could (Hmmm...choice, something supression completely eliminated!) And why do you think so many ice blasters were made for PvP??? Here's a hint: holds!!!
I'm going to take your advice and not argue with you anymore.

Just wondering, what game do you play nowdays Serling?
Ok here we go down with another one.. Like I said Turbo you have no idea what your talking about, I could care less what the reason was given for them supressing travel powers... In PVP if Travel powers were not suppressed when you attack people would not be able to kill each other... There is no Menu when you go to one of the PVP zones to turn off Travel powers, screw arenas hardly anyone goes to them anymore where talking about PVP zones...Travel power supressiong is needed and a good thing and its really freaking hardly noticeable, this is comming from someone who beta tested the freaking game...You make it sound like it was game breaking and it was not.
Its not that big a deal, perhaps you should go get some counceling you seem like Mr. Emmert Touched you rather deeply and hurt your feelings...
Also your "Ice Blaster in PVP" comment is rather amusing expecially considering that Ice Blasters have more to do with the slowing effect of Ice instead of then "holds" as you put it... You must be confusing Ice blasters with Defenders and Controllers.

It is likely that Issue 3-4-5 & 6 including ED where done with 1 though, PvP. "Balance" is irrelevant in PvE, as long as everyone have a role, a reason, a huge freaking bonus.
I am pretty sure they will say it was done for PvE reasons nonetheless, but Instant Healing is more powerfull as a buff than as a toggle when you PvP, while of course in PvE, it is a mere shadow of what it was. And so on, the examples would all confirm this.
But the devs keep saying those changes where done for "balance" or for "PvE reasons", while in fact, they screw a very nice PvE game for PvP reasons...and the most ironic part of it...PvP never really launch! You may have hundreds of players on a server playing the PvP...hundred...and they also PvE...and yet, they screw the majority, for the benefit of a minority. Hundreds of players on PvPing when you consider CoH reach 100k players if not more...bad bad enforcing.
They did it as well a little for the Hamidon, but even if they never admit the Hamidon should never have existed to start with (well the rewards he drops I mean), they never continue in that road, to little players interested.
See, CoH come out and peoples where wanting a good PvE solo/grouping game...and they got it. It was accidental, never intended to work that well, but they revised it after as screw folks. Nerfs where done for PvP. IoP are screwing the PvE. Hamidon is screwing folks who doesn't earn those enhancements. As a result, from an outstanding starts, they end up where they are now.
It is never too late to do the good move, especially when competitors are blinded and think a nasty end game is good, I am sorry, no end game is better than a wrong end game...and an end game which is identical but harder to the main game is definitely a good option.
Me I resume checking SoE message to see if they will launch a LDoN anti-raiding full PvE server, I have no more hope for Cryptic...will prolly try Auto-Assault, but I doubt I will play long enough for them to cash a subscribtion. Enforced PvP is not what I want, although it is far less bad than enforced raiding, granted. I am pretty much convince the majority of players don't want enforced raiding/PvP, the devs think that they will bear such an enforcing system. But the mere numbers of players who doesn't accept it outmatch the whole minority you cater to (the PvPers, the raiders are even more a minority). When you consider that this energy wasted on the minorities which hurt the game more than help it could have been spent to work on what the CORE of the players want, which is PvE solo and grouping...Zzzz SoE commit suicide with EQ, now every MMO out there redo EVERYTHING, including the suicide. Pathethic. End Game enforcement at the expense of the majority is a mistake...

You PVP allstars are amazing, I beta tested this freaking game you act as if the *nerfs* as you call them have made it so that you cannot kill Creeps in this game anymore..
Good lord people I have seen nerfs bats swung before if you think that COH was hit with a major nerf bat you havent seen nothing yet, go out and play more MMORPG's then come and talk to me.

True dat! Tinybina.
I loved the reaction of the commmunity during the nerfs!
"Wahhhh! I cant kill 20 villans in 10 seconds like I use to! Now I can only kill 15 in 12 seconds! Thanks alot Emmeret! I dont feel super anymore!"
"Wahhh! I could Tank 7 level +6 mobs while watching TV. Now well basically i still can BUT, I need to pay attention and maybe take a inspiration! My TV isn't gonna watch itself. I don't feel super anymore!."
If you want to know the king kong of nerf(at least imo), play SWG pre-CU and play it now. At least in CoH/CoV they didn't get rid of entire professions. Imagine having controllers taken out of the game because there weren't enough people playing as one(i.e. 100k subscribers, only 10k people playing as a cont.,so let's drop it)..
