I'm with Jaaz on this. Yes, I have played Resistance a bunch of times. It's really well conceived, except for the parts when you can't play your own characters. Even though the big mechs at the end are kind of cool. I'd still rather play my own toons.
It's nice at least to see that BITE seems better managed now though. It always seemed esoteric and confusing compared to the other Halloween content.
Forced PVP is not something a lot of players enjoy.
So then don't do it, nobody's forcing you. Let's be real, the end result of this will be groups of players going there and farming each other and there will be no real pvp involved. The only people who will actually pvp there will be people who want to. You're about as forced to pvp here as you are in the onslaught system.
Hell, wanna get together in game during bloodmoon and farm each other for the achievement? I'm game.

Cynical commentary, but that sums up my interest. Similar to how I will wait in line in the rain for exclusive concert tickets, I will play BITE! to get the power unlock.
You don't have to do the mission if you don't want to. Its just for a power, which most people won't even use after getting. Some of us are just collectors who want everything in game but never find a use for it.

This alone is enough of a reason for them to not design things like this. It's completely gameable, which goes against the intent that the devs probably originally had.
To me it's a waste of our already limited dev resources.

Well... BITE was already there, they just made some changes to it to balance it better. We can't really say that it took so many dev resources to do that that it would have significantly sped up any other aspect of development, and there are also no announced plans to produce any new "pvp as device" content. So... you know... don't worry about it?
We should be helpful PTSers and go play bite on pts tho o3o for lulz

Yeah I plan to download the PTS later. I don't think I've logged into it for some time. O.o
I went and played it. Being a hunter is hard u3u I guess now that they adjusted them to not be able to take on groups of werewolves it's a lot harder to fight those big groups of werewolf npcs .-.

Yeah, it looks like luring them towards Hunter packs (if you can before they rip you up) is what people will be doing...maybe...

That or farm the tokens... You DO get Turakian coins... which you could in theory use to buy a Tako throne or something....
True true but my point is that some of us just want to power for having it rather than finding a use for it. Which is fine and all but now the new patch has advantages on the power which make it useful for certain builds that already exist for some free forms.

It's a little bit too little too late for this year, maybe next, but seeing as there was so much effort put into revamping the BITE PvP event, why not add a 3rd faction, Vampires, into the mix.
It wouldn't require insane amounts of work, there is already a functional Vampire become. Tie it in to Black Fang/Dogz vs Vladic/New Shadows rivalry, with Caliburn being the new NPC for Hunters to keep both factions in check before they get to make too much trouble and thus incorporate this event into the lore of CO.
Plus it will give Vladic something to do other than sit near the end of a dungeon no one ever runs while also somewhat fulfilling that promise all those years ago of having Vladic form part of Halloween event.
a lot of AOE attacks/defences/heals are 5 target cap. Why should this be different?
Exactly, all of them should be at least 10 targets cap.
Nah, That ratio would make it so that you only need 5 good healers to keep a raid of 50 alive. In fact as things stand, in non Kiga fights 2-3 healers can keep a raid of 50 alive which is just too OP.
Every MMO follows the party composition of a 5 man party consisting of 1 Tank 1 Healer and 3 DPS, which then turn into a 2 Tanks 2 Healers and 6 DPS in a raid of 10.
Hell some MMO's endgame hard dungeons require a composition of 1 Tank 2 Healers and 2 DPS.

Ah sounds very impossible. o3o
Oh Quit it you
Forced PVP sounds very unethical and BS, thats what it is
Especially for a PvE power which you can get the perk ONCE per year if you miss the perk requirements

I don't think its a grind if the perk has been up since, what? 2009.... Now they just added some reward to it that more people are interested than just a Title. Atleast it's not Pay Wall To Win. Imagine the uproar from that....

Wait--you gotta defeat 100 players in each become device?!
Oh, wow. Forget it, then. That's just too much unfun activity packed into a couple weeks for me to bother with.
Alas.
Not in one play session. 100 over the course of your character's lifetime. For the perk, the daily mission doesn't actually require player kills. The daily is now 50, and includes the NPCs.
I suspect that most of the unhappiness stems from the belief that the average lifetime kill count in Bite! is close to zero. I'm LTE, and I think I went out to Canada once during a Bloodmoon, looked at what was up, and decided to do something more productive with my time, like run the LOTRO Halloween instance for the 150th time or something.

I have to agree. Vamps not being part of the event, is weird. In fact, there really should be something special in Vibora Bay to do during Halloween. Maybe next year?
BUG: [Hacked Orbital Cannon Codes] (and its limited version) still applies Plasma burn BEFORE hitting the targets

Cryptic is doing better than some of their previous attempts at large scale content. As I recall, in the early CoH days, Hamidon raids (with 24 player cap) was dubbed "swimsuits online" because having any costume more complicated than a bikini put that much more strain on the server.
Not to forgive them all their failings. In 2005, Square-Enix was quite apologetic because they had to drop the cap on their open zone Aht Urgan (FFXI) events from 300 to 250...

Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)

Give all non combat TPs a strong agression stealth bonus.
why do you think the target caps were added to begin with?
