Remove EGO powers from PVP

Actually I'd rather EGO removed from pvp than nerfing cloak and buffing otherwise for that sake of pvp - because all the EGO powers are perfectly fine in pve. Balancing them JUST for the pvp game will throw the balance off for the pve game.

And considering this game is pve first (mostly about player vs arkfall more than anything), that will be a pretty silly idea.

If they want to balance it , just give everyone the same

Seems like the less popular weapons and the ones that were
Not as efficient got nerfed and aren't effective anyway.

Despite the idea of having more evenness with weapon types
And mods despite level or ego rating pvp still seems seems to
Give benefit to a very small number of load out/builds , weapon
Types.

It was a nice Attempt but op weapon/build > skill.

Was that meant to be a poem or something?

I'm slightly confused, if you think an ego / gun is OP in pvp can't you just easily respec into that?

I have different layouts using different ego that I switch to depending on competition.

I don't think the complain was about the ability of people to do well, at all. That's where a lot of people are wrong.

It was about that fact that the EGO powers homogenized pvp gameplay (ie. too many people go cloak just for the OPness, not enough other specs, everyone ran around stealth and do the same thing) and make pvp boring and makes it pointless because it is too much about who gets the jump first, not about the fun of actual firefights and dodging and weaving bullets.

EGO + this game's potential TTK in pvp is the ultimate game-killer.

Instead of removing EGO from PVP completely, why not just add a second non-EGO form of TDM? This way the cloakers will be invisible on one map (server) while massive onslaught will occur on the other (map/server/thingy).

Of course, there could be variants. Like having only perks active or using the basic EGO power.

Well, you said let the flames come... but it certainly doesn't seem like you are taking it very well. It is an absurd idea to completely remove Ego powers from an entire aspect of the game because you can't win against people that are clearly out-playing you. Perhaps you should consider actually playing through pvp with an open mind, trying different combos of perk, ego powers and weapons to see what works best for you. Keep in mind that your set ups also need to vary depending on which pvp map you play as well. Clearly you are not looking for advice as you continue to respond along the lines of how this is "the worst pvp you've ever seen", which is rather dramatic statement to make of a game just out of launch, and all of the pvp maps are not even open yet. But of course, you must be right, clearly pvp is unplayable which is why so very many of us continue on with it and have even miraculously completed the pvp pursuits available.
