Continue on the quest for the ultimate PvP experience with the introduction of Classic PvP Season 5!

A bit anemic as far as community crunches go but I guess it can't be helped since there's nothing to really talk about till the new map drops. At least the EVO kept the adult children that constantly mewl about EVO events because they can't be arsed to actually grind normally quiet. Also when are we gonna get some love for Zany Zebra's 100 day challenges?

Honestly netguns has ruined this season! People play classic to avoid gen 2, but somehow net guns have been able to come across to classic and has ruined the classic version of pvp. And also the aimbotters getting away with cheating is getting out of hand! Next season they should remove net guns and do more against cheaters. This cluster has some serious potential if you do something against the cheaters.

Remove nets from classic.

People play classic to ESCAPE FROM GEN 2, but the pvp sure as hell doesn't feel like the old days when any monkey on foot can click once on ur tame to ground it then uncryo a giga and eat it. 

Nets literally punish you for being better at the game than whoever you're fighting, you pick them, they net your dino, and now they can just grapple to their dino while ur dropping to the ground and then they have advantage. The only way to play around nets is by netting your dino before fighting, and in that case you might as well just raptoring go ahead and remove them.
