    How to detect vets? Not necessary! What you should be concerned about is the competitors themselves. When they arrive right click them and check INFO to see if they have tons of set bonuses, if they do then they should be in a different category from those who don't. Really simple to do.

    2 competitions - vet (with set bonuses) and new (those without set bonuses), simple.
    First of all its Kat. Seriously, lrn2read. See my signature.

    Second of all my titles says new pvprs, hate pvp and interested in pvp. It does not say ""New pvp'r event"". Again Lrn2read.

    Third of all some of the best pvprs ever use lots of toons with no set bonuses. Not that I am the best out there but I only have TWO of my pvp toons that have set bonuses and another 3 that are still HAMI/SO builds. Out of my 2 with set bonuses only 1 of them has any purples in it.

    Fourth of all new gamers and new pvprs like to have the best in their toons just as well as vets. I know of a lot of AE farm babies that don't have even 3 month vet badges that have pimped out purpled toons coming out of their wazoo.

    Lastly and most importantly, being running pvp events in so easy and you know how to do it....DO IT. Put up your own prize money, spend your own time doing it and while you are at it run it as an SG event and declare AOW the winner.

    Go back and read your anniversary back slap threads. You'll be educated in how to point out flaws in other people's events. You might also find something you actually said....something about bringing community together. How does having separate competitions, where the point is for the vet PvPers to teach things to those who aren't, gonna help anything?
    She is too busy h8tin on other peoples events to possibly realize she could improve her own. She allienates 3/4 of the server from her events by making them SG participation only. Pot Meet Kettle.

    Based on all the fail she posted about percentages and builds all we can do is hope is that it is not her attempting to teach these new pvpr's her SG has now. **shudders**

The only way to make it fair for new people is to have 2 seperate classes.

    You have lots of great ideas for vets but your still in the dark about new people.

    Perhaps you could teach me how to set up events or cater to new pvprs or just have a clue in general? I am humbly open to receiving any and all of your awesomesauce wisdom. While sharing all of that can you also tell me how to police events to keep hardcore pvp vets out of newb pvp events being there is no "I began pvp'n on this date" info for players. Also while explaining all of that also please explain to me how to lick the cream out of oreos without my tongue getting tired or perhaps how to keep my silly dogs from barking when someone knocks at the door? Perhaps you could even teach me the secret to not feeling guilty and donating to everyone ringing a bell this time of year outside of stores? The list is long of all of the things I am sure you can share your great wisdom about and enable me to better myself as a person under your tutelage.

    On a serious note, all of us vets were new at one point. We all know what it took for us to learn to be better pvprs. The list varies on what each individual needed. One thing is for sure though, NONE of us got any better by being babied or not being killed or farmed. In fact I can guarandamntee you that 99% of us learned more from being farmed than we did any one on one instructions that any vet or anyone else had to share.

    This event was not designed for new pvprs, I never said it was. I said I was attempting to close the gap, which I did. No travel powers eliminates those that have not learned how to evade and travel and attack at the same time from being at a disadvantage. The level range took away epics and patrons. The biggest prize is given out for participation instead of winning. The AT categories eliminated certain FOTM's that all of the vets have from totally owning the entire competition. What more realistically do you suggest could be done dear?
  5. I had the wrong dates on the wrong event. This is starting next weekend.

    I think the fact that no where in the post did it say he hid the entire match also didn't help your "funny" cause.

    Sorry you felt my comment to you was an AS, wasn't my intentions. It is just frustrating when people that do not like pvp always blame it on everything except for the fact that they simply do not like it.

    As far as Bud's comments. Felicia is "special". Bud's comment was basically "pot meet kettle" to me. Seems like a perfect match made in heaven, why interfere?

    Totally agree with this. When I first started was when the server was poppin with activity. Any given tme 20-30 people could be found in Sirens. Now? Lol.

    I got my *** kicked over and over again but it was fun because there were lots of people and if one side outnumbered the other then a few people would switch and the fights would continue. Now? Lol.

    Don't pay that much attention. They will be back. They apparently don't know Scribe very well. He is having a bored moment. They followed a lost bus in to the smog.

    Yes because Targus represents the pvp community. The illiterates are about .00009% of the pvprs on this server so how about just saying you don't want to learn to pvp rather than blame it on the occassional ******?

    I know in LES alone I have 2 of my Officers working their little butts off right now to get 2 pvp toons leveled.

    Move a toon Scribe, like we talked about. One toon to give you some active pvp while you are waiting on this community to build up a bit. Its not going to happen over night.

    Hai Silit.

    Omw to Freedom probably tomorrow. I haven't pvp'd since I13 crashed test and my team, so I should make a pretty decent farm target if nothing else. :-)

    Very valid point that I never thought of. There are quite a few powers in the game like that. I knew we kept you around for something. :-)

    Frankenslotting and regular IO's can give far higher values than SO slotting with no set bonuses. Are you going to spar with each entrant and then analyze the combat logs before each bout? Otherwise they could, you know, switch to a standard IO/Frankenslot build before starting the match....
    Not true. Cap is cap no matter if you are using So's, Io's or hami's. The only difference is how many slots it will take you to get to that cap possibly.

    p.s. a mad shout out to you Psy. You are missed and come home safe and soon.
    Good memories. You just reminded me how much I liked RV on Freedom nights, I might swing a toon over there for a bit. In fact might even scoop my Rapin Face name back up. :-)

    I had never seen that video, seeing pvp through Ego's eyes has explained a WHOLE lot.

    LMAO no you didn't miss it. I apparently forgot to put it in there.

    Starting at 9pm EST
  22. Yeah I concur, interesting idea, but I don't think it will work IMHO.

    We have ran tons of lvl 4 pvp events and those toons have no powers or enhancements and the exact same people that win the regular events win those. I have always said builds are about 25% of pvp, skill is 70% and luck is 5%.

    Sadly I don't personally think people getting beat really run too many people away from pvp. Some people are competitive on a pvp level and some are not. If they don't have it in them to get better and take their *** whoopings until they do then their hearts are really not in to it anyways. It takes a certain personality to really be able to get in to pvp and everyone just simply doesn't have that personality.
  23. I think the most memorable match for me was against a storm team. I had emped for PCJL's storm team for a while, but then being on the receiving end of dUmb's storm team in my first match with A.S.S. was epic. I had never had much experience with how to evade storms. Vent was silent with everyone concentrating. That is of course until the win came.

    Well U do U and hopefully the rest of the team won't follow behind you doing U and it won't be known as just another 4sshole pvp group.
