Server PvP Differences

Recursion usually has a flagged "chicken with its head cut off" every so often who causes one org to attack then that flagged org is attack by the headless chicken org then usually the last org will kill the weaker of the two like the snipers and MKT without shields or the people down too half health sometimes you find to evenly matched fighters in close combat get killed by an outside party when both of their health are next to zero.

Some cases it starts with name calling then the two just go at it with all the backup they could rally up.

Can't say most times for zion but when meros or machines are overpowered by the zion armada they band together until the enemy is dead...then go at it with each other.

Rarely one org faction will call the leaders of every faction in that org and decide to run over mara. (last time i saw this stunt was back in Iterator when we still had aim as communication i think the factions were: Red Code Army as lead, Guardians of Unreality, Endless, Devils Advocate, and Section 8 i could be wrong or missed some though.) Again its rare due to the little amount of people and the less want to do any large gathering if theres not a live event, party, or both. 

In my experiences I find this:-

Recursion:-

James your right mainly it always starts this way most of the time, but we had what I call 'The IP Wars' recently which gave Mervs the advantage. Several names pop up for me from Zion that fought in them and it was really the era where for once we saw Zion fight against the Zerg. Personally I loved 'The IP Wars' (It still exists partially with skirmishes breaking out every so often). It taught alot of us, that we can't use Zerg tactics anymore we had to learn against it, and we really did see who the true pvp'rs were... the guys that stood and fought that is.

Biggest PvP: Zion

Vector:-

Like Gretyl said this can be open, I am yet to see any BIG battles, but as Gret said there are alot of skirmishes. The thing that sets Vector off, and which I do like about it, is the smack talk. No one does it like Vectorites, and the egos out there are a match for my own It's got talent out there, but their fashion dress is mainly resistance.

Biggest PvP: Merv 

Syntax:-

JUMP JUMP JUMP, it's all I see! This server is okay I guess, but there are alot more noobs. The prime factions being Exploits and Foxhound, seem to be the masters atm. However I personally find that the pvp is less wanted maybe. I've sat as a level 2 flagged for about 20 mins b4 with mervs just watching me, okay fair do's there were alot of zion, but still its a level 2. I see alot of jumps in this server and I am shamed to say its Zion I'm zion on rec, merv vec, and a whole host of things on shimtax, and personally all I see is Machines trying to compete with Zion jumpers. As for mervs they dont even fight here

Sitting as level 2 flagged can happent on every server and don't proof a s***.  I Actully think the PvP is fine on Syntax and there are allways someone to pvp with whatever you are Zion, Mech or Merv. Oh...and get over that Zion jumpers, that is most abused word by someone who hate to loose....come up with someting new instead, becaurse is soooooooo noobish.

Excuse me for being rude, but i am really tired of that Zion/Mech/Merv *CENSORED* jumper acuses evertime and it only spoils the PvP.

This statement is so insulting and misguided I won't even start to point out how very wrong it is.

My faction's rule is red = dead.  However, there are some targets we will attack preferentially.

Illyria

I can't speak for Recursion since I think I haven't spent even an hour there yet but I've been on Syntax a bit and Vector, well over 100 days I'd have to say.

Vector combat is very much like skirmishes, Simply because you don't have the preparation time or the numbers required for that kind of combat. Yet it becomes the most realistic because I have never seen an all out war in any of the three films. Some people think that Vector is the home of all the "smack talk" again that isn't the case. There are more factions that generally do "smack talk" on Syntax than Vector has factions. or the numbers will be similar anyway. Vector is also trying to stomp that out with RPvP. You'll also find that the majority of the posters here that contribute are actually Vectorites. Syntax from what I've seen (not participated in) generally revolves around the PvP groups and it is centered around Mara C, I've not seen fights anywhere else on the scale of that. Syntax combat usually revolves around fighting with numbers, which allows for the large scale combat that is common on there, and because you can get a large group of different organizations in the same area, makes it much easier and this is how

Hostile machines jacks in
Zion attacks Machine
Machines (plural) attack Zion
Zion (plural) attack Machines (plural)

and of course this can happen other ways as well.

Okay this post was posted about 3 or 4 months ago so I will refresh my report:-

Recursion has got worse for hyper jumping now " width="15" height="15" /> Deletion, Maveriks, and Dragoons, with Balance thrown in seem dominant atm.

Sytax seems to have turned Server vs Exploits, and BACK THEN jumps... but compared to Recursion now... there is less. There is still alot of 1k- cq 50s and I know CQ does not prove skill, but it shows exp. Maybe because it is a bigger sever than the other three. Exploits although not as liked, seem pride and possibly the best of all three servers.

Vector has skirmishes as one said, which I agree with, and it tends to still balance in the resistance end of the scale.

Syntax has improved alot over the past months, and I am not saying that because I got blasted, trust me, I aint afraid to utter my views. Back then however it was a heap of *CENSORED* in my eyes.

As for a flagging... how do you know what accounts im flying on " width="15" height="15" />

TH

Talking about jumpers - what do you really mean with that? Is it players that just jump everytime there Health goes below ½ bar? Or is it players that sneak - kill - jumps? There are different views in what a "jumper" is and sometimes it's just a bad excuse or whateveer. I don't understand why that is still such a big topic. I know it's annyoing if someone keeps to jump away everytime you try to IL, well then i just dont attack them anymore because it's getting borring. But what do you think, would be the perfect PvP battle HT??? You have made your judgment/view on what other players do when they PvP. My own view is that PvP is a battle your choose yourself to take part in (on Recursion-Syntax) so it's up to yourself to be best prepared. If the orther player have a better loadout and you keep loosing..well to bad, you just have to do better. If they have a real good Pvp team, like Exploits well to bad you don't have a good pvp team. SOL is right now actully the best Zion pvp faction on Syntax...in my view.

PvP is great on all servers and there are few differences between them, imo.  I will say, though, that there is significantly less jumpage and smack-talk on Syntax as opposed to the other two.

Bad ROY!!! bad... You know if they did a server merge we the hostile people would get screwed. Id rather have a smaller population and hostile situations than have a larger population and have to flag.

Now go and think about what you just said.

Vector- Hyperjumping/Zerglings

I can see hyperjumping when you are outnumbered 5 to 1. I can even see someone avoiding IL because they fear you are in ateam and you might call a zerg. However. I have heard of Systematic Chaos throughout all the servers. I have heard about Furious Angels on other servers. But never have I heard about Foxlike, or Exploits at ALL on other servers as compared to those factions. I dont know them personally nor care too, but might want to check it out.

Also. I have seen some folks from recursion come to vector and a good majority of them are fairly good at pvp. Although you have exceptions to this rule. I have noticed they are alot better than alot that come from syntax. So based on my exp with it, I think that Recursion has people with a good sense of the system, and I agree with ROY. Vector to me is the ONLY server. The rest are warm ups. If you want to really feel how it would be to be IN the matrix. Thats the server to go too.

If you want to just talk smack, pls pls, go to WOW, because I want people that can back up their talk. Not people that talk smack and stay blue. That would frustrate me to NO end.

Systematic chaos isnt a pvp Faction ive heard of the Furious angels also but thats not to say there any good,and as for Vector i put that second to recursion for Smacktalk im My honest opinion Vector is full of meatshields half of you wear Nike "Airs",you dont have to be on all 3 servers for your Faction to be Recognised and on Syntax it literally is Server VS Exploits - Cyph.

I have fought and played on All 3 servers and will still say Syntax is the best.

On a Sidenote: Didnt a syntaxian win the Vector Olympics? What what?

Usually you have to back up claims with facts but... hey what do i know. If you say it's true then it must be...

When it comes to jumpers, L2ROOT.

That is all.

Last time i was on syntax i decided i would never return. To many times i have been gunned down in large crowds to have not a single person come to my aid. Then the person who killed me stands there in the crowd till their flag times out with nothing ever happening. And i'm zion there so it's not like there is a shortage of help.

This part is true, zion do tend to only flag up if they have a large group helping them out.. when the tide turns, they give up. There's only a handfull who are the opposite, but most have converted to either machine or merovingian!

Hunting is fun Marias. It's one of the reasons i prefer the vector atmosphere because you cannot be an *CENSORED* and then hide. Your actions however minuscule you think they are weight in on peoples opinions of you and because your pvp hot all the time this can adversely affect your game time.
What are you talking about? You can easily kill someone then either go into the loading area/jump hardlines and districts and/or go into sneak. 

As for jumpers some people will jump, some won't I don't think it's a server thing but an individual thing. The formula is pretty funny though. I was on the QA server and although my memory isn't the greatest i don't recall anyone owning anything. The server war didn't materialize how most wanted as some wouldn't flip orgs how it was discussed. So while there was some people who joined server factions there were many who didn't.
It's more so a server wide thing, in my experiance FAR more players on vector have jumped and ran than on Syntax.  Yes, Syntax dealt there fair share of carnage on QA, as did the other servers, and some individuals who decided to stick with their org, but this was ONLY a few.

Vector you can evaluate prior fights and tweak loads just as well as any server. While your correct that staying alive is important on vector which is why most Coder loadouts or task orientated load outs have to have a level of survivability to them. For example my Coder loadout has Master Shadow in it. In the end this just adds to the experience and goes back to that important thing i mentioned before.... how people perceive you and how you are perceived. Granted some will gun for you all the time, others aren't so barbaric about it. And if someone does get you while coding well it just gives you someone to hunt now or at least someone you won't be so nice to down the road. Karma so to speak.
Just because your on a hostile server does not mean you need to have MASTER SHADOW in your load. Think you need to PVP a little more and learn the ropes. ^.^

PVP on PVE servers is like an event. You get ready for it and go to it. PVP on vector is a lifestyle, it can happen anytime. Thats one reason why I prefer vector.
Wrong.  You should spend a little bit more time on Syntax (alot more, in fact) before you go making those kind of assumptions. PVP on Syntax happens ANY time, all you need is one to flag, then more join in.. before you know it, there's an entire war going on. Vector consists of lots of mini-spontaneous fights that don't really last that long.

No arguement there. I'm still not going to the server. If i want to play on a PVE server i'll play my 50 thats on Recursion.

You can still be found. If not today then tomorow. Half my buddy list is people i want to kill. I login and see that they are online and then decide if i want to hunt them. Chances of me ever doing that on a PVE are greatly diminished. Even you would have to agree on that.

Alright that is your opinion. I won't argue with any of that as it won't get us anywhere.

While your correct that staying alive is important on vector which is why most Coder loadouts or task orientated load outs have to have a level of survivability to them. For example my Coder loadout has Master Shadow in it. In the end this just adds to the experience and goes back to that important thing i mentioned before.... how people perceive you and how you are perceived. Granted some will gun for you all the time, others aren't so barbaric about it. And if someone does get you while coding well it just gives you someone to hunt now or at least someone you won't be so nice to down the road. Karma so to speak.
Just because your on a hostile server does not mean you need to have MASTER SHADOW in your load. Think you need to PVP a little more and learn the ropes. ^.^
I have been playing the game since launch. I know the ropes. I said my CODER loadout has MASTER SHADOW. Perhaps you should read before you make an idiotic statement. It's the easiest loadout you can do to stay safe till you can upload your coded items should the *poop* hit the fan. When i'm coding i'm not attempting to PVP btw. Granted you don't have to have master shadow but i do and i have yet to die coding with it loaded.


PVP on PVE servers is like an event. You get ready for it and go to it. PVP on vector is a lifestyle, it can happen anytime. Thats one reason why I prefer vector.
Wrong.  You should spend a little bit more time on Syntax (alot more, in fact) before you go making those kind of assumptions. PVP on Syntax happens ANY time, all you need is one to flag, then more join in.. before you know it, there's an entire war going on. Vector consists of lots of mini-spontaneous fights that don't really last that long.
I'm not spending another second on Syntax. The server just isn't for me and as mentioned above if i want a PVE atmosphere i'll play my 50 on recursion. Anytime and all you need is one to flag is not really anytime. I flagged, get gunned down and wait till the other persons flag turns off. Where is the pvp there? You even admit it in point one above that zion will only flag if they have a large group. For now i'll stay on Vector-hostile where i don't have to put up with Blue attacks, rezzes, buffs and the like.

Well, though I am not yet 50 on vector (level 40, sshhhooo excited XD) I can say that it is definitely more exhilirating and entertaining to come across random reds and just start goin' at it, especially to break up the monotony of missions.  I also find it enjoyable to hunt people down every now and then.  I'll attack people 10 levels higher simply for the fun of it knowing I'm gonna die...

However, when it comes to Vector it seems you kill one person the reaction is always so...bleh.  Either you get flack for killing someone, get ganked by the entire faction afterwards or end up chasing someone all over until they hardline...

As for Syntax, personally, no offense to spha or anything.  I'm just sick of the pvp there, no offense to my home server but something about flagging then being ganked by 6 MKT has just lost it's appeal.  Yet I keep grindin' away hoping some more people will join in and...yeah, i might get one or two of mine or another org to flag.  Besides that the pvp is ONLY at mara despite my efforts to spread pvp out by running around the whole city flagged.  Either that or you can go kill people in 01 and run into the downsides of pvp you get on vector all over again.  Also, like hanzyl mentioned the attacks from the blue...well not only is it unrealistic it's just more fun to be able to have a more active role in not getting pwnt by a sniper or MKT you can clearly see is going to attack you...

For the finer points of Syntax pvp, I've run into some of the best pvp'ers I think I'll ever meet there (I don't mean to start controversy but I do believe a decent amount of the heavy hitters on or that have had 50's on Vector call Syntax home).  Also, you gotta check out the massive pvp we used to have such as the 01 wars or back in the days of the Authority...now THAT was some epic pvp...

Call me bias either way but those are my thoughts laid out in detail...

This part is true, zion do tend to only flag up if they have a large group helping them out.. when the tide turns, they give up. There's only a handfull who are the opposite, but most have converted to either machine or merovingian!
No arguement there. I'm still not going to the server. If i want to play on a PVE server i'll play my 50 thats on Recursion.
Okay ;)

Hunting is fun Marias. It's one of the reasons i prefer the vector atmosphere because you cannot be an *CENSORED* and then hide. Your actions however minuscule you think they are weight in on peoples opinions of you and because your pvp hot all the time this can adversely affect your game time.
What are you talking about? You can easily kill someone then either go into the loading area/jump hardlines and districts and/or go into sneak. 
You can still be found. If not today then tomorow. Half my buddy list is people i want to kill. I login and see that they are online and then decide if i want to hunt them. Chances of me ever doing that on a PVE are greatly diminished. Even you would have to agree on that.
Not really.

As for jumpers some people will jump, some won't I don't think it's a server thing but an individual thing. The formula is pretty funny though. I was on the QA server and although my memory isn't the greatest i don't recall anyone owning anything. The server war didn't materialize how most wanted as some wouldn't flip orgs how it was discussed. So while there was some people who joined server factions there were many who didn't.
It's more so a server wide thing, in my experiance FAR more players on vector have jumped and ran than on Syntax.  Yes, Syntax dealt there fair share of carnage on QA, as did the other servers, and some individuals who decided to stick with their org, but this was ONLY a few.
Alright that is your opinion. I won't argue with any of that as it won't get us anywhere.
It's more than opinion, ask anyone and they will tell you the same thing.

Go and code somewhere safe, out of view, that's what alot of people do when levelling up on vector.

Buffs, rezzes, and snipes will still happen on all servers, don't try to fob the 'blue card' off on me, because it doesn't wash.  A rez takes 4 secs to cast, buffs can be given anytime, and snipes will usually always happen when you LEAST EXPECT.  I'll rephrase my original statement, the majority of the time it is zion, but really, EVERY org likes to gank.   There is MUCH better, bigger PVP with players of HIGHER calliber on syntax than vector, hand's down.

The above is for Sphairo.

And Tiango thanks for the advice on the PVP faction but I won't be on syntax anymore. I'll pursue my activities on Vector or if needed for some reason Recursion.

lol, think I struck a nerve with this person. ^^

You can't say that one server would beat another, There are good players on all 3 servers that doesn't differ, also you can't say that just because 1 syntax player won the Vector Olympics that Syntax is the best server, because all it would take is a player to get a few consecutive state special hits and that player would be out, it's the whole point of randomness of the combat system.

Syntax PvP is usually large wars
Vector PvP is usually skirmishes

Vector > Syntax IMO because Vector has a more realistic combat feel to it.
