Hello all,
I'm sure there are many bugs that alot of people would like fixed but one in particular that I would like some light given to is the one concerning the UTC and SH queues. As Pvpers we get that we are on the short end of the stick but we would atleast like to be able to play all the maps with no issues. Since on alert we have not been able to do this due to an instance bug of sorts.
[System] [PvPWarning] You will be removed from the map in 10 seconds.
[System] Left channel "Team".
The above message is received more often then not when we joining a UTC or SH map and as it says ten seconds later we are booted from the map. The reason i post about this over other bugs is because it keeps players from actually being able to play part of the game. Please try not to troll the thread and try to just post positive things so that maybe this can be fixed!!

No meaning for "Summon Reinforcement" after that.
FIX IT, CRYPTIC
Its a simple fix probably (much easier than, say, adding a whole zone) and will keep the "MOAR CONTENT" guys busy for a while. Because PvP is content, in a way.
Not just queue but removed rewards for no reason killed Hero Games totally.
.
It happens in Alerts when the alert gets swapped out after it has matched players but before it can begin. The hero games bug is different, since hero games don't get swapped out.
You don't fix something after you purposely broke it.

I wonder why they don't simply 'Remove' broken contents from the game if they aren't gonna fix.
Also, i've heard about that "Killed PvP on purpose" conspiracy theory. The worst part? It kinda sounds plausible.
I feel the Weapon skin removed from PvP vendor was huge pain.
Also plus, queue system fix for UTC/SH 2 -> 8 made more fatal for many people include me.
Queue and wait long but nothing pop. Was very deadly for me.

And now let me "insert" here my oppinion about that bug! That bug, as we already/ or not know happens when an alert is not active in the list with the alerts!
What it could be a fix for this? PW/Cryptic should add a chronometer when that alert is supposed to become inactive. Something like: "Baron Cimitiere - Pyramid Power - Burst alert 15 seconds countdown till the alert will become inactive!"
That way nobody would queue for the alert when they say that is little time before the alert will become inactive and nobody will be kicked out of the alert!

A bunch of yes. Good idea.
Also, king of the hill = koth. sh = stronghold. pvp maps. Just fyi.
RIP Caine
if they removed everything that was broken, there wouldn 't be much left.

Just roll it back to the days of uneven teams at least the ques pinged and we could get a fight on, the fix you put in over a year ago borked the game -__-"

They all thought I was out of the game....But I'm holding all the lockboxes now..
I'll......FOAM FINGER YOUR BACK!
I am not so mean. I helped you in game a couple times today, in fact.
I am, however, bored with complaint threads, so I alleviate that boredom with humor.

SHIRLEY you don't mean that.
See what I did there?...okay yeah that was awful.
I disagree.

Kidding, of course! PvP's likely remained really buggy since On Alert because
A) PvPers are a vast, vocal minority (and have recently degenerated to ... well... just look at the Hero Games forums)
C) It's kind of impossible to market PvP without introducing new mechanics that imbalance the hell out of the already balanced game. Legacy Devices, for example. Legion Gear is arguably another big deal in the PvP community, considering the crit gloves and avoidance breastplate are often parts of top-tier builds. All of these are purchased through a pay-or-non-PvP-related-grind-wall. R9 mods as well.
D) It might just be flat-out hard to fix and is low priority because all of the above.
Doing anything to fix PvP at this stage in the game would likely only wind up hurting profit margins. Nerf/limit legacy devices in PvP? Suddenly having 5 NPGs stops being desirable and people stop buying Legacy Device bags. Fix the PvP queue system? OK, instead of 8 players, we now have 10 people queueing for Hero Games and successfully playing, boy, that sure was fun and profitable. New PvPers don't enter just because the queue system works, because there's nothing to work for in the PvP system, and new PvPers wind up getting smacked down anyway so there isn't much reason to bother to get into CO PvP unless you really are that bored.
I want to see PvP fixed, but... well, I just don't think it's happening anytime soon.
Surprisingly insightful. A bit jaded, but unfortunately, this seems like a likely scenario. We have to keep in mind, that the developers don't usually get to decide what they do with their time, the managers do, and managers generally suck, from a non-business perspective.
