Well i thought it was ok to start off with even though i don't normally do PVP, was quite fun for the first few rounds of chasing Grond, Gravitar and Medusa around Westside, but then it started to get a bit repetetive and boring, don't know what everyone elses thoughts are on that. I also think they shouldv'e thought it out a bit better if i'm honest, so for example they shouldn't have set it right next to Kodiak in Westside and perhaps moved it to a different area away from the lower levels trying to play normal missions without interference, just my thoughts anyway. Also it would be nice if they had introduced new villains, we've seen plenty of Grond, Gravitar and Medusa now so if they done something new and refreshing it wouldn't have been so bad. Oh and another thing, when i tried to play as Gravitar i lasted about 30 seconds to a minute before dying, don't know what happened there but i thought Gravitar was supposed to be tougher than that and i would last alot longer, i saw other players last a good 5 minutes as the villain before they got taken down. I'll do it from time to time if theres nothing else to do but otherwise i'll stay away from it.

So now that this is live, how did it turn out? Good? Bad? Neither? I completely agree with what andypuk1980 said. Oh and another thing, when i tried to play as Gravitar i lasted about 30 seconds to a minute before dying, don't know what happened there but i thought Gravitar was supposed to be tougher than that and i would last alot longer, i saw other players last a good 5 minutes as the villain before they got taken down. Villains get tougher and sturdy as more players are hitting you. If any player is preparing a super burst damage, and you have only 1-2 players on you, expect a mega hit. I know the first time I turned on Villain, got my 5 million health reduced to 1,5 mil in a single hit from an Unleashed Rage. Also NPC attacking you dont count as players, so a bunch of low lvl mobs can deal a big chunk of dmg if you dont have players on you. Stay away from machine guns and cannon close to Kodiak, thoses can insta kill you. I have killed 2 Gravitar just pushing with my Concussor Beam close to Kodiak. Moreover I believe the Onslaught need some adjustments, like remove the part to Villains defeat the NPCs, it is just unnecessary and boring as hell. Limit the number of villains in instance or area. It is not hard to find an instance with 10+ villains butchering half dozen of players - It will not be long before we get pvp villain's duels only. Gravitar need balance, she is tougher than Grond and her effects last for too long - her vertex effect is at least 2x faster than in rampage making it stupidly confusing on monitor screen and shaking effect last for more half minute. If there are multiple villains close, you will not see anyone attacking her. I do not know why some players are so afraid to die and simply keep running the entire map just to wait for the timer expire and allow his villain to escape. I do not care anymore to follow him and apparently many players too. If he does not want to play, should have done in an empty instance and keep killing NPC mobs.

Yeah, Gravitar is by far the weakest of the three, it takes a very long time for her to ramp up, at least 2-3 minutes, that's if you're unhindered. You can't fight until you unlock the powers, and her dps is so low. She causes CC mostly, but not dps. I dunno, I know that I was stood by the newb zone near kodiak just to blast all the newbs over and over again to get the token quota to fill the daily, since all of the other players are impossible to kill. And they run away, because those are the pvp nazis that are trying to win the battle by keeping you from scoring. Most people just get pulled into the turrets for free kills with gravity pulse. I've been doing it loads every day, just to try get tokens, but the token rate is so slow, cuz everyone I killed mostly had just recently been killed by someone else, or someone else gets the last hit in, and I lose the credit. It needs a lot of work.
