    This is like a call to action from a celebrity.

    Heartwarming, it might get some hand claps or blog posts, but ultimately does nothing. This has been brought up in multiple threads over the past few years. If they were going to take action, they would have addressed this long ago.


    You pretty much just summed up my thoughts, no matter how many threads will be put up, ultimately its the devs decision to fix them or not, and its also why I do not bother anymore with these types of threads.

    Yes it does need to be addressed but will the devs actually ever do an anything? They know its there... they know its bugged and yet other 'priorities' pile over it given the excuse that they have other important things to make/do.

    Little do they know that what is actually important is how broken their game is.

    On that note I haven't spent a cent on zen until I see their gameplay aspects getting fixed.

    I'm just trying to light a fire here. Everyone knows that basic, again, basic, mechanics for hero games are broken, such as the que. It's most likely a simple fix. And to Genziao, I'm confident that the devs aren't aware that the que system or anything for the hero games, among other problems for it exist. This is a new development team, not like the ones we had before, they probably had no idea the hero games existed at all.

    Even if its a call too action by a "celebrity". The point is too make use of a popular name, mainly mine, to get a bunch of voices going.

    The point of this thread, is that we just want the developer to take a look at the Hero games, and give us an evaluation, so we atleast know it's getting glanced at.

    I think it would be good to have something to spend acclaim on at least, something desirable.

    My estimate would be that a number of things are being looked at right now or at least being considered.

    However, it would be nice for some attention to be placed on the Hero Games, even though it was only a mini event in my Cosmic Key Event, a number of people responded to PvP and occasionally it can be very enjoyable.

    Even some indication would be good. The only hesitation I could see would be that they have no plans or want to refrain from making any promises or speaking on the matter and not being able to deliver at a later date.

    Either way, it would be nice to hear something.

    If anything, it'd be really nice just to have the bugs (queue and Stronghold invincible turrets) looked at, seeing as those have been present since On Alert hit.

    I really miss queuing for Stronghold and UTC, but it's not worth the hassle with those bugs in place.

    The movement is spreading... Be apart of the solution and not the problem. :tongue:

    I am now in the process of talking to a customer service representative about some bug reports that I sent in, but did it through the option of not getting assistance from a GM. I gave them the ticket ID I was given, but so far they have not responded back about having found the ticket.

    I am really hoping this isn't meaning what it is looking like. This could be apart of the reason why some issues have not/ are not being addressed if people are sending in bug reports in game through the option that is not requesting GM help.

    Gonna give them the benefit of the doubt until I get another response, after all they could still find the ticket or there could be a glitch in the reporting system.:redface:

    I am not an avid PvP player at all.

    PLEASE FIX THE HERO GAMES QUEUE BUG!

    Really, fixing this would help out the game as a whole. Even if I never got into serious PvP, I liked the option of using Hero Games as a leveling pathway for my low level toons.

    Guys you can all shut up for Nepht is about to talk sense. The main problem is a bug that kicks people from PvP areas as if its an alert that been cycled out. No it seems a simple problem that should have been fixed YEARS ago. Thats what the PvPers want. No need to go all ape%$£& over it.

    You're upset I unfriended you due to constant thread derailing. Also you never accepted the COPvP chat invite in the first place. In fact I canceled the invite today and posted the cancel message IN COPvP chat so... Nice lie. :biggrin:

    Well it looks like we need one hell of a good vet...

    No, no, no I don't mean xeno or the others, I mean an animal vet.

    Anyway I wouldn't call it dead until no one does it, I'd just call it kinda slow at the moment. Maybe a coma? :>

    Also calm down you two, take it into PM if you guys need. Just saying in coPvP you shouldn't really expect anything to be at all serious if you do then you are kinda missing the point in the channel.

    Gradii, once again you've decided to announce your intentions on a thread that doesn't have anything to do with you specifically. You gotta stop doing that.

    Caliga, celebrity or not PvP does need fixed, and if you adding your voice to the mix helps bring more voices forward then good.

    Everyone else, I don't bother with PvP anymore. For those that do, or those that would like to it needs fixed. Seems these days that Cryptic has been doing more listening, and no matter how old and decrepit that horse may be, let's dust him off and present him again. It still may not make a difference, but that doesn't invalidate the intent to see this game improve.

    I am disappointed in you. This is an on topic discussion about PvP. Your PvE suggestion isn't automatically relevant just because you like the title "Hero Games".

    How would you like it if we kept suggesting PvP implementations by passing them off as "rampages"

    Also...stop telling lies

    I'm all for them to add reward and progress for participating in PvP. But they need to readd the rewards for playing the regular content in the game.

    Alerts have pretty much consumed all development. And removing all unique rewards from missions, bosses and the PvP vendor made it worse.

    Why not. I never even notice it all too much even being this big anyway however it helps a bit. It's not like I look into that bottom corner to check for someone coming behind me anyway.

    Careful guys, you might end up a passive aggressive signature at this rate.

    Also, we need a costume contest pvp map. After all, it's called "hero games" and games are contests, we should judge your heroes. Am I doing logic right?

    I wish that after they eventually fix the queue bug, we get a vehicle pvp map. Wanna talk about a way to level the playing field? vehicle pvp would be *insane* in a bash style setting.

    Also after ya finish the bug, make the que favor games other than BASH. Chances are, if a bunch of people que for all the hero games... they'll end up in BASH... and that's bad because BASH is toxic.

    In fact, please redesign the BASH map to have a bunch of piles of barrels of toxic waste in it.

    BASH gets favored because it doesn't require full teams to start.

    That's because they are in less than a full team of 5. It's the same bug that permeates rampage. Simple solution queue a full team of five or if you queue solo, don't queue in BASH if you want something else.

    Would like to add though one of the problems CO has is the devs seem to cater to players that dont actualy play the game that much this ones that do nothing but still try and mock PvPers for playing the game :I

    But in all seriousness, I do enjoy PvP even though I spend most of the time interviewing the pavement.

    Maybe I should make a PvP build or a sturdier PvE build and become a challenger :P

    Yeah this is the exact bug. It happens when both teams are less than a full team of 5 so it bugs out, ironically people also ask for less people queueing for them to pop however this would only break it more.

    Well you could just do what I do a lot of the time and make a PvP controller. You can end up pretty tanky just by CC'ing people and smoke nading them with AD's even without any hp. Just stack lots of INT with manipulator and use a bunch of CC's. Taser arrow works nicely for stun locking people, ego sleep / bolas ofcourse work and stuns especially sonic device on a 100ft attack with an int build in support role is really nice espeially when past 11 seconds.

    The best thing about being a controller is you can use it in fights not really for getting kills but just helping people out when you see them get ganked. I save a lot of people who I think are being attacked unfairly. (Or who I haven't got a tag on <_< )

    I support Caliga's intent for this thread/topic, as I have support similar threads/topics of its kind in the past.

    And yet?

    Two weeks later and all I see are more "just a server restart" announcements with no bug fixes for PvP or even an attempt to replace Acclaim with something useful (questionite, resources, mods, whatever).

    It's very frustrating to see the neglect continue, week after week, month after month, year after year...
