To those of you who care, the servers just went  down (20:00GMT) to be patched for the new fully functional OB!

ETA is 5 hours so 9PM EST and the rest can add the hours on as appropriate!

<stares at clock>

I got 6 lvl 13s rdy to go! lol

damns already, was planning on boosting up a necro 13 this evening...

Guess its ranger for me then.

I logged off to create a new class and was surprised to see 20:00 GMT as a downtime. I did some math and said..'Hmm that can't be right..that's 3PM EST and it's almost 4...oh..DST..dang..20 minutes..guess I'll have to make do with only 3 classes' lol

I was having too much fun building characters and making screen shots lol. i only have one conqueror at 13

Hopefully this will address the following PVP issues:

Right now pvp is kinda [MOD EDIT].  If you can't hide, you are basically bait for someone that can hide or you're just an idiot looking to get [MOD EDIT].  So far I would say the best class for PVP is ranger.   The reason being is because it can deal out shitloads of damage from long range and still has the ability to do it with stealth.  You can't beat the stun shot from stealth mode either. They also get medium armor and great HP/Stamina.

Assasin is probably second and Barbarian third.  I haven't played either but from what I can see on the battlefield is how I rate them. They are both good DD's in PVP.

Soldiers pretty much suck, but they can at least take some hits.  Conqueror (with the best DPS) can do some damage but all in all the tank class is a joke right now with the level cap at 13.  They aren't even worth killing if there are other classes around.  That's how pathetic they are.

If you play a mage class you will get owned.  Plain and simple.  Regardless if you are ToS you are going to get singled out and you will go down quick.  For the people reading this that disagree with me, you are playing with noobs.  (As a ranger) I can two time a mage class.  Healing is crap.  It does not do nearly enough for the amount of damage dished out at this level.

I can't speak for Herald of Xotli or Demonologist since I don't play them, but what I can say from what I see is that they are "ok" but Demonologist seems to be better, maybe even 4th on the list.

Necromancer = the suck.  Their pets do minimal damage and they have low HP so they can't take much damage.  A decent thing about them is they can hide.  I can, however, see this class being awesome later.  Also, their pets aren't half bad at keeping others from hiding because of the constant damage they do.

Lastly, CTF is redundant.  Most people that do CTF don't even give a shit about the flag.  There is rarely any team work involved and it's just a gank fest with the rogue classes waiting on someone to grab the flag and stab them in the back when they are going back to their base. 

One might also say team annihilation is a gank fest too but at least people attempt to knock out the others totem (usually) which can require teamwork.

Dev said here its just a client update

This may just be the big CB patch that was released recently.

meh hope i can go to med settings now sucks playing low with 25 fps lol

this is the preformance patch that CB got yesterday, not the lvl 20 pvp patch

That makes little sense..the lvl 20 patch is supposed to take place tomorrow. They are going to drop the servers for 5 hours+ tonight and pop a 600+ MB file on us then take them down again tomorrow to drop the level restrictions?

best way to prove it is to log into the patcher and read the patch notes  =)

that's exactly what they are doing.  read the patch notes

Patch notes aren't coming up for me but I've read others posts. Yes it's the patch CB got yesterday but I still think it will include the level cap restriction off.
