Maybe the lowbies, but in PvP nearly all the lvl 50's do.

I never loaded my shield, I only did when I put my combat clothing on after I found out that buffing up without clothing is putting me at a disadvantage.  Now I have found my costume in a level 50 armoured version and just get in, buff up, activate my shield (turn on my perp red eye) and I am ready, even holding my own against fully buffed now SMILEY

Unfortunately, even level 50 shielded/armored doesn't work AS WELL as the Enhanced clothes for your class. So when it's a case of looking like everyone else or looking like the pwn, you should usually choose looking like everyone else. There's a few exceptions to the rule. There's a few noobs that no matter what you're wearing, you'll still kick their sloppy arses all over the Mega City.

I have had better accuracy since I stopped using the propper buffed stuff SMILEY

Besides, I am an RPer, I dont PvP much which is why I chose to go on Syntax, here I only flag when and where I want to apart from the constructs which is how it is supposed to be on Syntax.  I have started a character on Vector and there I will expect to be flagged constantly and I will be in my combat gear a lot more often.

I wear RP gear on Vector. Luckily, the Ronin uniform has some Enhanced level 50 items in it.

Merge servers, make half the districts perma flag. mmo needs stirring, well overdue.

Ya the only way this would ever fly is if 2 districts where pvp hot.

Also stop and think for a moment all us vector people hanging out in the pvp hot areas and all the syntaxians or recursionites hanging out at mara or tabor west still.

BTW i'm not endorsing this idea though at this time.

Well, the DEVS don't need to have whole districts hostile, but a number of small PVP hot zones could be easily put in place on Syntax or Recursion. (The ones rarebit put in a while ago) They were very popular with the player base.

A pvp hotspot is a very different type of pvp style to a whole district being flagged. I'd rather see a district or two be flagged so we can have long chases through different neighborhoods, with the chance of unexpected interference.

Unlikley that'll happen. There's more a chance a number of hotspots could be replaced in like before though, all vs all PVP, that'll shake thing's up!

Personally, I've had a hard time stumbling across RP on Syntax and not so hard a time finding it on Vector. Unless all of the RP that takes place on Syntax happens through tells, I haven't really seen anything outstanding. If anything, I'm more bored to tears over the lack of anything to do on Syntax. With the exception of one person who has helped me quite a lot, I find that my life on Syntax is spent slow and boring. While running missions, I am flagged in the hopes that I'll stumble across someone who is my level to fight. If I stumble across someone who is much higher and they kill me, so be it. At least it's something... I'l just kill them when I am 50 in carebear land.


OT: keep the servers teh way they are and maybe throw a few pvp hot zones on syn and rec just to test the waters?...like they did with teh paci zones on Vector?!


OffT: DM's are alive and well on all 3 servers, more so atm on Syntax and Vector. .....we didnt 'Leave',  we spread our wings....at the time teh Drama on Vector was approaching 'Pee wees playhouse' silly.   So we decided to check out recursion....our core grinded up and we built up a nice group there....then it was off to Syntax.....we aer also getting stronger there by the day........
For those factions/ppl that want to take full advantage of our 'world'.....spread your wings.....grind up on all 3....its a blast to be able to go any server, any time and have a team of your faction mates ready to go for PVP, RP or wotever might float our boat!!!

I agree with that, i myself have people wondering why I bother to level up characters on all 3 servers and it's the same reason. I would love to be able to log onto any server I want and PvP, LE, RP whatever strikes my fancy at the time.  Of course i will always be at home on Syntax, but that's not to say i can't have fun elsewhere. 

As for the topic at hand it would be nice to have a few pvp enabled areas here and there to stir things up a bit, I'd even be cool with whole neighborhoods being lit up.  However, vector is hostile for a reason and syntax/recursion are not for a reason, you can't blur the lines too much between the two...

If you want PvP there is a whole server dedicated to it.

Hostile or non-Hostile server... 90% of all PVP occurs at Mara C. Basically the only PVP that happens offside Mara C is RP-PVP plus a few rumbles around the Taskmaster every now and then. PVP at Mara C is the same on ALL servers - be they Hostile or not. So... no offence but I think a PVPer's gaming experience is limited to Mara C and its surroundings most of the time which is the typical size of an FPS map. Those people that are so addicted to pointless ganking and perma-PVP should switch to an FPS. In fact most FPS don't cost a thing. The really GOOD PVP (the PVP with story backgrounds) is not limited to Mara C and mostly performed in a reasonable way by the players themselves or a LET member. For those people the current system works fine... the others should *CENSORED* off towards Quake or such a thing.
