PVPEC Freedom 4v4 tourney!

Well then gratz Ping and Mrs. Ping!

Since when does someone being a good person take away from the fact that they said something that offended someone? Good intentions mean nothing. Sure someone who knows her knows she is not the type of person to intentially use a racial slur. That doesn't change the fact that someone was offended and that the word is indeed a racial slur.

A long time ago I made the mistake of arguing about a racial slur someone used. While to this day I feel my point was right it doesn't change the fact that someone was hurt and offended that someone used that word. Dink is indeed a slur against Vietnamese people. The person who was offended just so happens to be married to a Filipino husband and have Filipino children (if memory serves me right). Maybe she could have sent a private p.m. instead of calling her out on the public forums. That doesn't change the fact that she was offended and asked politely for the edit. It also doesn't change the fact that its her right to do so.

On a side note Angie I know you are not that type of person, ty for being a bigger person and making the requested edit. :-)

*what really tickled me was definition #7. lolwut?

I think the simple reason there is no meeting in the middle to this debate is that you are making points to people who do not pvp just for the fun of it. Its not all about drops. Its not about that situational build that "can" work under certain circumstances. Its about winning. That is all any competition is about.

In a storybook world people compete in sports to have fun and show good sportsmanship. That is not realistic because most people that have that personality don't make it to the big leagues. You are debating with mainly people in the big leagues. Friendly competition is not what its about. There is no little league team here.

If you have cancer. Sure there are alternative medicines that have been proven to work with "some" patients. However if you want to give getting cured the best possible shot you can you will go to the specialist who has proven over and over again that its method is going to give you the best chance of survival.

Sure tp/hover will work in pvp. Just like any powerset will. However its situational. As soon as a really experienced team walks in the zone that person tp/hovering is cannon fodder. Sure its fun to try and do. However you stand a bigger chance of loosing than winning. Definition of loosing is you die as much or more than you kill. So if you die 9 times and only get 8 kills you lost. In fairytale land as long as you had fun doing it you won.

My first pvp toon ever was an ngy/ngy blaster with fly and superspeed. I used to have this tactic of flying way up in the sky and hitting boost range , buildup etc and then sniping someone. I would hit follow, turn off fly and bonesmash them before they knew what hit them. Was hella fun to do. I got kills, lots of them. I also died ALOT. As soon as I got a few kills the good pvpr's would adapt and use tactics to end my fun. Then I would switch to a more viable pvp toon. The fact that I had fun didn't change the fact that I lost.

Sorry I guess I forgot to add in a bunch of smileys and lol's in my post to make it clear.

My comment was based on my personal experience. I joined the channel on a friends account right after we started the channel. They were on hide from absolutely everything except global and global channels and that was the only channel the account belonged to. Bud was not on that global and sent me an Sg invite. I took the time to do a search to see what zone he was in and he was not in the same zone as me. I took 2 and 2 and added them up and came up with 4.

I was not saying that is the only purpose for the channel. I am saying that at times it has been used for that purpose and I am not the only person who has experienced that.

My comment about no chat may have been inaccurate, I quit the channel many months ago.

My point is still the same. Both channels have good and bad points and are not for everyone. Those that want to, can join both. Arguing back and forth about which is better when they both have good and bad points is retarded.

**btw the whole not being able to just quote without adding something on the new forums is just retarded. Making me type /agreed isn't making me contribute any more to the conversation than just letting me quote. Bah.

He is just getting his RP on. If you notice sometimes he types completely coherant english. On vent he speaks coherant english. He is RP'n supadawgfashizzlemahnizzle. Werd.

My other theory is that he is trying to quickly type in between being spiked in arena matches.

Or it could be that he types how he talks when he is mad. Ever noticed when some people get aggrivated all of a sudden they get the whole Shanaynay neck poppin' ghetto talk **** tone? "Ohh no he did'nt. I am gonna read this muddablanketty blank, ima cuss his muaddablanketty blank *** out." If you dont know who Shanaynay is then this theory will not make any sense to you.

Either way its not due to lack of ability to speak English.

You apparently read enough to know I was rude in my first sentence and typo'd in my last paragraph. What you should have read was all the stuff between those two to know your theory is WRONG.

I am not trolling you, or your friend. I don't know either of you or have anything against you. What I do have a problem with is wrong information. Wrong is wrong. I am not a know-it-all pvp'r. I am still learning myself. However before I type opinions or advice I research it and/or test it out myself. I have pvp'd long enough to know all sets are not created equal in pvp. The ones that are really good get the title "FOTM" for a reason. Its because those particular sets have powers that make them OP. If all sets were created equal then the whole "FOTM" wouldn't exist. Doesn't take a genious to figure that one out.

On another note I am very calm. I am also not young. Everyone who plays video games or pvp's is not a teen. I am old enough to have teen children myself FYI. I am sure my whole ****** breath comment helped you conclude otherwise so I guess I can't exactly blame you. BTW I appologize for that comment, but meant everything else I have said. Facts are facts.

BTW one last point. You might want to rethink the whole "telling the truth and sharing your opinon" as being ok and me doing the same thing is me being a troll. Just because someones opinion differs from yours doesn't mean its any less valid.

I haven't a clue who you are either but I do know you must have ****** breath from all that *** kissing you just did. Not meant to be insulting, just stating facts.

Let's examine where you say that every blaster is equal. In a sense you are right. The dev's crazy scheme of things was to make each set in each AT equal. For pve they achieved that "somewhat". We are talking about pvp here though. There are a gazillion examples of how each set is not equal but lets just examine a few. Lets compare an energy boom against an ice boom. Nova vs. Blizzard. Both have almost the exact same numbers. One is instant death, the other is DOT. In pve they both work pretty much the same because npc's don't pop greens or have healers healing them as quickly as a player does. That is just one example.

Now lets move on to the devices set. While I personally have never made one I have seen them played. Not for me. That doesn't mean they are not fun nor does it mean they do not have their uses. Sadly though while the devices blaster is stuck in animation while trying to set up their targeting drone the energy blaster just bone smashed them. 4th power on each set, should be equal ehh? Not even close.

How about Gun drone. Interesting little power there. Tier 9, does gud damage, yes? Ok while its being set up to even start doing that gud damage the psychic shockwave from the mental set has you half dead. Ok lets talk about trip mine. (omg I can't tell you how annoying people that want you to wait for them to set up a gazillion trip mines are in pve). Anyways trip mines are interesting. How many do you have to set up to kill a player? Takes 5 seconds to cast one and 20 seconds (base) for it to recharge. Lets just take a long shot and say 5 of them will kill a player. So that is a 100 seconds (base) that it took for that to be set up. I am sure the device blaster can safely do that being other pvpr's are always polite enough to wait. Perhaps in zone when "BASE" sitting this might work. However if not hiding out at the base or in the arena the electric manipulations blaster has already Thunder striked your *** so hard your neck has popped. Or in the time it takes to set up those tripmines the ngy manipulation blaster has hit power boost, boost range and build up and one shotted your *** with a snipe from across the room.

Sooo yeah sorry to burst your bubble but what is close to equal in pve isn't remotely equal in pvp. That is of course , again, unless you are base sitting. Sorry using a building surrounded by drones to pvp is not competitive.

BTW the whole all sets are not created equal is not just with blasters, its with every AT. PVP is simply a different enviroment. Players are not computer ran and do not have a "dumb" mode. Not sure how much you know about how computer games are programmed but its in a cycle. The npc is programmed to do a certain attack chain. That attack chain doesn't change based on the situation. It also doesn't hit inspirations. NpC's also are not programmed to evade effectively. The sets are designed to be balanced in an enviroment that doesn't think, and doesn't adapt. PVP is all about thinking and adapting. So your whole theory doesn't apply here.

First of all while it is your right to pvp an AR/Dev, and I have seen some very good ones do so. In fact Scribe was very good on his, in the zones atleast. However flying/teleporting is only going to work in an enviroment that you can base run. If you base run then you suck. Sorry. PVP is a 2 way street. Its not just about how many kills you get but also how many times you die. If you are telling me you tp/fly and don't base run and don't die then you must not be an honest person.

Perhaps it is funner for you, but the words competitive and zone should be banned from being used in the same sentence.

Zones are nothing but a cluster **** of kill stealing. To make it even worse the kill stealing happens from npc's, drones and heavies more than other players. Then add salt to the wound with HD and TS. Don't get me wrong, I zone when nothing is going on in the arena. Each time I do though I feel like I licked a dirty windshield or something afterwards.

Yeah I have to side with cobbie on this one point because I have literally spammed my pvp events in BMT to the point of daring people to come pvp and I have never been silenced for that.

Lulz.

this.

I know as support in every kickball I hate all Ta's, gravs, colds, ice etc. Especially colds. They should be perma-banned.

That reminds me. I stopped pvp'n when i13 came out and just got back in to it a few weeks ago. I could have sworn I heard slows were nerfed. Someone please tell me why every time a cold is on the other team I have no ******* powers up and can't move for ****? The nerf apparently phailed. Just saying.

Rage was just the word I chose. One that wouldn't get modded like retarded, stupid or asinine would.

If you put an "N" or 2 in there I would swear it was Justin.
