Member when fightmaster was harping on everyone that didn't like vaulting? We've got the opposite here. Constantly having to insert an opinion as to why someone shouldn't like the new system, whenever anyone says they like the new system in any way, is very easily inching towards that.

Still liking the change...flawed though as it is for this phase one.

Well, in Cat-5 I was a little surprised by the diversity of teams I was seeing. It wasn't just 40 matches against Panthos, it made 40 wins tolerable, at best. Devil You Know, however, I can't find anything else... 12 wins in and EVERY DAMN QUEUE is Panthos, 3 more sitting there right now......... Not sure I have it in me, but I really, really want that NC cover. I'm having the best start to a new character ever and want to keep that going, but wow..........

Are you saying you aren’t a fan of how every day there is at least 3 to 5 whole new topics crying about it?

If I were less lazy, I would start a different “I live the new PVP!” topic every single day just to keep pace with all the negative ones.

I'm not arguing with you, you very well could be right. We really have no way of knowing what the devs thought. However, if the devs didn't think this would push bigger rosters down into the lower CL then they really have no clue about the game they are developing. And that's an extremely scary prospect.......

Yeah, I hope that's not the case. You wouldn't need to know much about the game to predict that moving the CP would make high-end players play down. Though maybe they don't realize how valuable CP is to high end players. 

I should add that from what I've read from the DemiUrge people who post on Discord, they are not THAT clueless about the game.

Didn't the demi staff in discord need to be convinced that doc oc wasn't good?  And demi also didn't know that boss rush was insanely hard for 5* players because of theblevel 400-500 power curve.

I think it's generally a pretty safe bet that demi doesnt understand the nuances of 5* end game.  But they definitely know how much people value cp.  All they have to do is look at buy club activity.

They have a 3* transitioner pov. Thats why they made the pvp changes. They couldnt hit 1200

I joined cl6 for Devil you know pvp it's Milzy and I in the 1 and 2 spots. I'm getting my cp. Rosters below are garbage. 21 wins 1125 score so far. This is too easy. I kinda dig what d3 forced me to do. Hahahaha

I agree. I was just saying that I don't think they're so out of touch that they don't know that people coordinate in line rooms (even if they don't know the details), know what the general concerns were about win-based-PVP, etc.  They do have SOME knowledge of the players (I think one even mentioned what your home town was the other day - though they may have gotten it wrong)

40 pages of responses. Will we see anything from Demi trying to address nu-PvP?

I've yet to join this season because the "tests" were enough to convince me that the time-suck wasn't worth it. They convinced me to not care about trying to PvP my way into more Nightcrawler covers (because Shield Training is absurd with the need to already have Rogue covered).

So forget that nonsense. Maybe I'll join the next season flip before it's over and gather up some wins to get the 10pack and the Rogue in Sim... but at this point I'm finding it harder to care.

I have put money into the game, too... but I guess they got all they needed from me. I'm also not buying back into VIP until the Shield Level cap is raised (or effectively removed).

I consider myself something of an upper-midling player (several 5*s just over 450, highest 460), and without at least access to that CP, where's the path to progress?

"Your home town" as in me, Vhailorx?  Eep. Is demi stalking me?!

If i go missing or suddenly start praising the new pvp system, then you all know what happened. . .
