What is the pvp like now?

When I left:

1. Weird mechanics where everything was dodged/mitigated so using an offensive passive was asking to die (I liked using offensive passives).
2. Bash (the worst sh*t map which is only used for pathetic bragging in a video game) is the only thing that popped with any frequency, with UTC having a unreachable player que requirement and Stronghold (best map ever) being bugged with turret problems etc.
3. Player population overall and especially in pvp was super low.
4. Devs didn't listen or fix bugs (not even talking about balancing stuff just bugs like the turrets and queue requirement).

Stuff probably hasn't changed, considering this forum only has like 4 updated topics within this month but thought I would ask.

1. Dodge is much harder to come by nowadays, so that is not as much of a problem. People only shifted to other means of staying very survivable however, and offensive passives are still not favored in PvP.
2. Bash is still the map that pops the most. Been a while since I've actually played really, but UTC and other maps didn't pop all that often. Doesn't help that the map kick bug and turrets bug have never been fixed.
3. Population is still pretty low overall.
4. Nothing has been looked at so far for PvP as for bug fixes, though the devs have been fixing lots of older issues recently. It actually wouldn't surprise me if one day some of the bugs dealing with PvP maps were actually fixed with the way things are looking now.

Meh so devs are still useless, and game breaking 3 year old bugs are still around, not surprising. Maybe I'll jump on a free character to check stuff out since spending money does not seem like a meaningful decision. I expect to be bored after 2.5 days and leave again.

Thx for info.

Well, upon prodding, they actually remembered that they had a Zombie Apocalypse PvP mode and added event rewards to it, so that's a (faint) sign that they remember PvP exists.

Come on in and join the fight against the OVs! It's...well.. technically it is pvp....

1. The meta is still about being tough. Especially since the only thing that pops is bash.
2. Yes.
3. No actually, player population is higher than back then.
4. They do listen and fix bugs. Just not for PvP...because it's not a priority. Over time that could change but don't hold your breath.

Overall if you're coming back just for the PvP then don't expect much. Otherwise, however, the game has improved quite a bit.

Sure, if you want to take a simple statement and repurpose it to take a very broad jab.

PvP seems pretty active lately, although I'm not as active. Pretty much just trying to get the new Onslaught gear. I like having the best gear
