The smoking analagy is also ridiculous. Comparing something which kills in real life to something which irritates you in a game is an extremely bad way to illustrate a point.

But then it was an extremely bad point to begin with.

If you don't like PvP, don't go in the zones. If you want the rewards, accept the risks. It really is that simple.

[/ QUOTE ]

Has the same point though. If you don't like smokers, don't go into a restuarant that allows smoking. If you don't want to PvP, stay the heck out of the PvP zones. Simple.

[ QUOTE ]
Little did I understand the complete lack of tollerance for the way other people, who pay as much to play this game as everyone else, may like to enjoy the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

So do people who PvP. And we hate when people come into PvP zones and complain when *shock* PvP takes place!

[ QUOTE ]
as ive said elsewhere get bridger or one of his associaites to lay down the ground rules, AND!! enforce them and bham, its done, not this longwinded must sent tells to people via global, seriously not on.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm pretty sure that in the past Bridger has said that the arena channel is for arena chat. And the GM's have warned people not to spam it before.

[ QUOTE ]
At the end of the day, as said somewhere above, everybody pays to play this game and, quite frankly, can chat about what they want where they want

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really, no. Everybody pays to play this game, and everybody has to follow the rules.

Well I'm all set for this raid. See ya in the Hive people!

*bump*

I get what you're saying, and I agree, there should be a server wide channel that is just for general stuff, like people looking for a team, giant monster announcements etc.

But the fact remains, the arena channel is for arena releated discussions. That's why it's called the arena channel. Although personally I don't really care if there's other stuff in there.

[ QUOTE ]
why don't the PvP crowd use the Global Arena Chat which everyone is a member by default

[/ QUOTE ]

Because the Arena channel is there for Arena/PvP releated chat?

Yeah, Frost Breath is pretty nice for PvE. But as Wyx said, the animation time takes alot out of it in PvP.

Blizzard is a nice power to take for PvE as well, but again, I'll be dropping it when I change to a PvP build.

I'll dig out my current build for Ice later if you like, this one is very different to the one I'm using right now.


[ QUOTE ]
The main advantage is that foes in the zone are slowed and they usually stop whatever they're doing to flee from the zone, so it's a couple of seconds during which the whole crowed runs while we hit them.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's pretty much the main use for it. It can be handy when it starts to go bad, but alot of tanks will hate you if you make the mobs scatter.

[ QUOTE ]
Simple put ice/nrg is not an AoE dmg dealer

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup. As far as AoE damage goes, Ice/nrg is not all that. But for single target it's great.

Wow. That's some impressive dingage! Grats all!

The Med Bay is also pretty useful if you die in a Hazard zone. Saves you having to go to hospital in a totally different zone.

Also nice for Hami raids, it puts you back exactly where you died.

I like most of those ideas, but in all honesty, you can do most of it yourself anyway.

If I want to help a friends SG in the CoP or a base raid, I can just quit my current SG with whatever character I'm using and do what needs to be done, then get a re-invite. Would be nice if there was a way to do it without quiting the SG.

And I suppose that wouldn't work for SG's that are fussy about the amount of prestige you earn. But I'd never join a SG like that, so it doesn't bother me.

I could probably sell it on Ebay. There must be someone out there who's lost most of their Monopoly money.

*shrug* Better than nothing I guess.

This is a poor state of affairs...

Everyone is entitled to what ever they decide to...

PvP or RP whos to say whats right and whats wrong?

Live and Let Live. Dont fight make love

[/ QUOTE ]

I am! Nothing is right unless I say so!

Disclaimer: This is a joke. KS is totally right. Although everyone should give me money.

[ QUOTE ]
What? Why would PvPers say nasty things towards RPers? That's just silly. I personally have nothing against RPers, and till tonight, havn't heard anything about PvPers disliking them.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've heard stuff about it before. Anyone remember the Galaxy Girl Nuke... that was PvPers.

[/ QUOTE ]

But to the best of my knowledge that wasn't because they were RPers. Just because that was a convienient large gathering of players that was pretty much garunteed to be there.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

This part both worries and intrigues me.. where did anyone say that it was ruined? The previous post didnt say anything about how 'when they werent dancing or /em boomboxing, I was sad'.

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks for ruining my night, cant even be arsed to play anymore. Yes I know it was a joke.

[/ QUOTE ]

Given that I've been told tonight that RP'ers can just be stuffed into a small corner in one of the hazard zones and there's a group of players waiting to grief any RP'er they can, (One player got hassled for actually daring to have a background) I'd say that, as PvP/RP'ers; there's a cosm there that makes me very uncomfortable to continue playing.

[/ QUOTE ]

But those quotes are from two entirely seperate posts, that as far as I can tell are totally unreleated.

Edit: Nevermind, misunderstood.

Edit2: But either way, just ignore idiots who give you grief. They're not worth your time.

Edit3: But I guess that's easy to say, not as easy to do.

[ QUOTE ]
It. Was. A. Joke.

Possibly an example of how powerful word of mouth is. Someone says that Sirens Call will be have PVP turned off for RP'ers for a time period of one night a week and people are up in arms, even though there is no offical word or announcement.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's great isn't it?

I wonder how long this rumour will last...

Ah man...this is unbelievable! People will believe anything!

Haven't laughed so much at a thread in ages

Does the AT affect the magnitude of the temp power.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. Each AT has a "modifier" for ranged, melee and control attacks I believe.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oops. Totally forgot about the question.

Yeah, MZ has it right. I'm pretty sure there's a table somewhere that shows the modifiers. Although I'm not 100% certain if they have any bearing on temp powers. They should do though.

[ QUOTE ]
A conflict with a noob scrapper today actually threw up a question I dont know the answer to. He had to resort to using a temp bow power as I noobishly refused to stand still and let him 2 shot my cheating dominator. He then bragged that he took off X amount of HP with his bow temp, despite failing to kill me. I wondered, is the damage from temp attacks greater on high damage ATs then low damage ones. Woulda been funny to pull out the stolen SMG I have and pepper him with lead, woulda been cheating though

[/ QUOTE ]
of course you were cheating, in pvp any form of fighting back, retaliating or reacting is cheating!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. It's a well known fact that you're not allowed to use powers, inspirations, temp powers, or in fact do anything at all.

It's actually best if you go to a nice open spot, then removed your hands from the keyboard and mouse. Anything else and you're a dirty haxor. And that's a Flash Fact.

Meh. Why not. Count me in.

Whoaholycrap!

That's [censored] amazing!

[ QUOTE ]
Soooo being an Empath only is wrong? It is thought we should get stuck in well read my Empath build I posted.. then explain to me how a Psy Powered Empath is to be offensive while i go make that toon

[/ QUOTE ]

No. What he means is don't hang around like a coward at the back. Get in the thick of things so Healing Aura actually heals the people in melee.

[ QUOTE ]
i do the whole team in 1 go faster, if its 1 rechg itll be doing the team more seperately and herobuilder is wrong for the recharge time of this power. 3 recharge makes a difference from 2 recharge but fact is i like doing the whole team as fast as possible between groups and not have a blaster asking for cm ever. Its a personal preference not a must have.

[/ QUOTE ]

You realise that the last two slots combined don't even knock off one second from the recharge time right?

With one recharge slotted, it recharges faster than the activation time. Any extra slots are a waste.

You've 6-slotted Clear Mind?

And may I ask, what's the fourth slot in Resurect for?

[ QUOTE ]
.......what date do you think it is matey?

Anyway, I got a Heal/ End Redux if anyone got a good dmagae one?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll trade if a damage/range is any good to you.

Awesome. Congrats Cae!

[ QUOTE ]
nice to see the almost immediate response to request channel this time too, don't think anyone loitered when asked to move for each phase.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup, that was great. First time ever that we haven't had to keep telling people to get out of the bubble.

Well done everyone, you were great.

And of course a huge thanks to the organisers.
