Purchased and applied, and I'm still stuck at work! Doh! Need..flash drive...<plots>

I don't feel it's a battle to win as much as it is trying to lay down logic.

Though each salvo I engage in with them over the years, it seems to write me a large neon sign that it won't work :P

I flipped a coin, I think unless they do something unruley in the terms of response, I might move on to...

COOKIES!

Maybe its just my sick sense of humor, but I think it would have been funnier if the devs gave them an uber-powerful nuke with a 300 yard radius in the AE that would kill any player no matter the resistance or defense as a self destruct on one hit and hit while phased.

"Lets do a bubble farm"...thack...BOOM...all dead...farm that.

I think that would have been a powerful lesson had they simply coded them and stealth patched them.

Though I think the lesson might be lost on alot and they'd just be angry.

For the sake of arguement what IS griefing then? :P What is the stone cold definition of it? o.o

-C.A.

Gah! <laughs uncontrolled for a minute, then pops Strength of Will and swaps at!>


I'm starting to get into an argument I think with pvpers again. :/ I'm thinking of flipping a coin on continuing.

Whats everyone else up to!?

Well thats just one more reason in a stunningly long list of reasons to pretty much never even think of doing anything PvP wise in this game.....

Way to go devs, are you really truly trying to drive what little remains of PvP out of the game? Is this the secret, unannounced plan to kill PvP completely and thus not have to fix base raids or CoP?

*/e slow clap

IF it were, would you be able to take a hint, or drag it on more like some sort of resistance fighter for the pvpers bill of rights? :P

You seem to be taking this personally, I can't help but notice. o.0

Yeah cause ya know attacking someone in a PvP zone is considered griefing

[/ QUOTE ]

Attacking someone repeatedly could be construded as griefing especially if they announce their intentions in a civil manner in english :P The only thing gained from any pvp attack is a reputation increase and now recently a recipie. Every five minutes? Fine o.0 But since you attack a person over and over, the ONLY thing you get from it is the satisfaction of impeeding their progress.

Unless I'm mistaken, what else do you fet out of it reward wise?

However, we managed to get some civil pvpers to come over and beat on them while we worked on our base

for one the cost of transferring to a new server is way too high.

I also would like to log in on double xp weekend and freedom lags for me terribly. and since none of the people i prefer to play with want to go to freedom that is off the table.

And since you obviouosly have no idea about the technical limitations of this problem how about you keep your suggestions about where i decide to play to yourself.

the facts are plain, the changes made to prevent farming the recipees make it almost impossible to get them for even a hardcore pvp'r and completely impossible for the casual pvp's on low pop servers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Let me make sure I heard that right. Did you tell me to not post my opinions on a subject matter on a board / thread involving such a topic?

On whose authority did you do this?

Now, to your other points, If you can't transfer due to ten bucks a character, perhaps you should accept your fate? o.0 To what end is your post, simply venting?

Thanks much!

Fixed PvP rewards to function once again. Now, influence, inspirations, and other normal rewards occur on every PvP kill, while PvP IO recipes can only be rewarded on rep-valid kills.

Thanks Shecky!

I feel that the pvp changes are extremely unfair to nonfreedom pvp players. That is unless i can call them on the phone and tell them I am going to rv on pinnacle and they have everyone in the office log in and fill the zones since they arent gonna do that they need to find a better way to fix it. it really isin't asking much. I am not asking for an advantage only fairness

One would consider transferring to a new server if it means that much? o.o

If you PvP on a low pop server and the drops are that rare than no one will have the PvP IO on the low pop server and there will not be any balance issues. I can see the main reason people farmed them in the arena is to sell them for outrageous prices on the market.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not necessarily. It is now perpetually out of balance because of the people on low pops who already have their PvP IOs from farming (who haven't field stripped their characters for 1 Billion+ a pop on the markets) can outperform those who do not yet (and most likely won't ever) have them.

Now, the obvius solution is simple. You'll need 30-50 of your closest friends on your server that PvP, or people who are willing to come to a Pvp Zo...nvm...that won't work either.

Now the solution is simple. What you need to do is set up a PvP night where people who want to PvP can... nope, still not seeing it.

Oh Oh Oh I know... you can raid one of the RMT Sites, rip their client database, build a super computer that can run 2,000 clients/acounts simultaneously, and program the bots to Mega Farm the accounts in a Maypole fashion. You don't have to stop there. If you can infiltrate security holes in local networks, you can take control of more and more computers to...Wait...That would prolly be a bad thing. Yeah, scratch that...

There really is no solution that prevents farming while allowing normal play.

The views I've seen so far since I13:
PvP was revamped to allow the special olympics of everyone's special, and everyone's a winner. This was to encourage n00bs to come in and think they had a shot where they could win w/o skill. This drove out a load of vets.

Most of your "data" here seems to be a knee jerk reaction to a situation that you find unpleasent, and you've let emotion come in. However this is interesting the way you phrase it. By your own words then, would you perfer that certain content be locked off to "common folk" like pvp and only exclusive to you and your "brood"?

Sounds awfully elitist. Who are you to say what content is avaible to anyone? o.0

[ QUOTE ]

PvP IOs were introduced as a way of rewarding those left to drink the Kool-Aid and get with the new PvP program. The Markets made several billionaires in the process. PvP was crippled and limping to the cliff.

PvP IOs are set so astronomically high via punishing drop rates and discouraging PvP period.

[/ QUOTE ]

So if this is all true, what was the point of this psot other then to express your opinions in a vague attack at the devs and an attempt to get a "lol" from a few people? o.0 If this is all true, then why bother even addressing it to anyone if it's just going to happen, and by happening no one will notice or care?

Quite right. I say thank you for this "nerf", serves them right ^^

Course thats just my opinion, PVP needs to be brought back to the masses and make the rest of us folks who wanta play the game survivable in the zones if we want to get the badges

-C.A.

PVP progression is looking better all the time o.o; I'm seeing balance for once, not just a set of uber builds

All other fixes are welcome, though I wasn't aware of the issues with granite o.@

-C.A.

Thats a very good question! I can't think of anything else you could do as a social gathering? :P

How and what do you do trivia as and how do you make it fiar for everyone who's on a slower bitrate? o.0

There's that game where you roll the dice and people hold up a card prior Psi taught me that one!

Then I draw a blank, Maybe if we make them listen to a radio station? :P Maybe Shecky knows, maybe shecky can throw me a party/gathering / sg promotion event o.o!

I shall ask him <persues shecky>

Egads! <the missiles seek the saucer instead> Muhahaha!

I'm having no luck thinking of events for my sg :/ some people are saying costume contest dimish the returns of a social event o.@

on the plus side I am going to order lunch :P

<Launches a series of anti-sack missiles after the saucer!> Incoming!

Good morning, I was worried perhaps your UFO had taken off with you :P

Thank goodness! Now we can get back to beating of crazed civilians! :P

You could pass out drinks o.o! Also, we seem to be minus a sack person o.0 <scritches chin>

I hereby request some 50's rock!

No thats not what I meant, you made it sound lik there was still something decent in the game to you to stay ^^ I was confused! :P

This just into the news desk, a report of a sack person running a rampage in a flying suacer has been reported in Steel Canyon!

Morning all!

I heard about this a while ago I'm suprised no one else posted it o.0

Yep, without Elude running, my Widow is now dead in 3 shots. This is after I IOd the hell out of it (without buying any purps).

In the PvE game he has 55% melee, 60% range and 48% AoE defense. Those numbers drop 20-25% as soon as I enter a PvP zone. Don't even get me started on the 15% damage nerf. It takes me 10 hits to kill a squishy now and that's if they decide to be nice enough to stand around and let me wail on them.

In return out of Elude I'm dead in 3 hits. With Elude running it's 6 hits or less.

With the amount of +Acc and +Tohit you can get blueside my widow is now collecting dust along with my kat/sr scrapper and any of my support toons since all these stupid changes to PvP were implemented.

Way to [censored] up the only thing that was keeping me playing the game Devs.
