Gratz, name rings a bell, not sure if I've teamed with you or not...

Paper can pop the previously useless orange resistance pills and become sandpaper. Or corrugated...cardboard..?

I cry like a little baby when I get rad infected. Normally by corruptors :*(

Must have missed you slicing and hacking away

It was quite good last night. Headed straight for Siren's after logging in after the downtime and it quickly became quite crowded. Escaped lag (woohoo!) and generally got stuck in there with my usaul trash talk on broadcast.

Then I left to go gather some inspirations in Steel and lost 4000 bounty, grr. Came back in and started going a bit mad.

A blaster with no fear of death / debt is scary.

As a blaster (mostly) it can either be extremely painful, or extremely prejudiced in your favour, both of which scenarios I find fun.

And *points to sig*

You may not need 'PvP skill', but you do need game skill.

I'm mostly PvE'er, but the times I have ventured to PvP zones I've fared fairly well, with totally PvE builds, as I know how the game works, which IMO is enough.

Addition to the above post;

if you play your character how you like it, how you're comfortable with playing your character, and fight like it's went [censored] in PvE like it couldn't possibly get any worse, you'll do fine.

If you look at the combat logs, you'd be surprised at how much you actually did, and for how long.

Robotic, undead DINOSAURS FTW!!

I thought it was possible to solo Lusca

By how much?

Obviously not so much that it makes blasters totally unviable in any kind of melee pvp situation, but enough to give everyone a chance and remove that bloody 'YOU POPPED A PURP!!1 N00b!1' problem.

What does purple insps have o do with toggle dropping??

[/ QUOTE ]

Holds....? Mez protection?

I'm too tired to reply properly, but a good deal of them are fairly simple measures, but could work really well.

The others are a bit...forced onto the players to get them to PVP.

Something that suits the attitude of PVP-ers...an alternate message above their name? Instead of 'The Fantastic, Faceplanting Frazzle.d' you could have 'The Flying Sniping Bringer of teh d00m' or something...

bed.

I'd rather stick with CoX pvp. I get the feeling that I'll be able to get more teams and level up my brute and stalker pretty soon-ish as well as fighting with Fraz on occasion. There's more friendly, laid back attitudes in this game than in anything else, and if the feeling changes, it just gets more intense...if that makes any sense. People in PvP tend to give it their all. They're fighting some other player who's cocky enough to think they can handle some empath soloing.

I go there because Stalk-obot loves me \0/

Bottom line is...CoH pvp is awsome but THERE ARE NO REWARDS that will actually draw the people in.Not even a ranking system.And if the Devs not implement one soon and give something besides crappy SO and missiles that drop from skys but something special they will see tumbleweed in PvP zones during time.

TG: nail, head, collision.

You do get bounty in Siren's Call..and temp powers, but it means nothing unless you intend on spending an entire (fairly busy evening) PvPing there, which is hit and miss. Bloody Bay...temp pets! Woo. Cue the higher levels ignoring everything else as they go about getting their green globs. Warburg...free for all is good...but that's about it.

Badges? Yeah...once you get them, you get them...temp powers? It's alright for some. Bemused to see orange names stop and chat to me while I'm resting trying to GET BY THE BLOODY WEB ENTRANCE and they're running in and out like it's Spar 5 minutes before shutting and they have half price ****.

I've wondered about this, and have a theory. Villians tend to win closer to the hero base, and vice versa;

so, when villian players want to jump into the fight closer to the hospital base, they have better odds. Heroes fighting in Fossburg have better odds there because it's closer to the villian base...

...I think.

Flaming Storm and Dark Elf

nice work on the scottish slang

I'll pvp where ever the voices tell me to go. And if Stalk's online.

It'll still be largely ponitless for tanks, no matter how many bells and whistles they add.

[/ QUOTE ]

It wont be in I7. You get punchwoke in PvP! I think this would bring the tanker AT back to the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, so now the blasters will be forced to toggle-drop me, the controllers & dominators forced to snap through my megre mez protection, the stalkers forced to AS me with unresistable damage (Not that I have any resistance to speak of) and anyone else generally forced to kite me until I'm dead.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll send a card

I actually like pvping with tanks...ones I'm fighting are stone tanks mostly who can't hit for toffee and my stone tank...(heh) who can actually admire that stalker's look on their face, because they 'only have 2 attacks'.

Stalk, send me a tell next time

There's always things that you can get away with 100% of the time.

Mine;

'What do you call that, $target?! I've had lovebites worse than THAT'

Set yours to broadcast and away you go.

Since it is easy to make a char that can kill stalkers and never be killed by them even stalkers are no problem

[/ QUOTE ]

And this is a problem - you need a special build for PvP. People trying it out get beaten and lose the taste for it. A build that works for PvP ought to work for PvP and vice-versa, at least reasonably so. But right now it doesn't. Not at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think its attitude not build or stalkers that gets people into and out of pvp. If i see someone I dont know in sirens I will probably kill them a couple of times and then start a chat with them, often telling them how to turn on villain chat (why this is disabled by default is insanity imo) I offer advice against myself and others as many are unsure of what even their current build is capable of in PVP. A lot of empaths who havnt been in the zones dont know CM lights up stalkers like christmas trees.

Its funny but you really dont mind getting killed by people who are nice and friendly to you nearly as much as anyone else.

[/ QUOTE ]

Remind me to make an empath with CM and rez only, for all the blasters who want to see you dead

Is Hover a useful power?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not in PvP.The best pvp route when building your AT is getting air superiority which is a really useful power for knocking flyers off the air.

Fly you can slot with speed and endurance reduction making what hover does 10 times better.And you not waste 1 power slot on a fly look alike power with less speed.

Maneuverability is what u need in PvP and fly provides 10 times the maneuvarability hover does.

[/ QUOTE ]

Disagree slightly. Hover is useful in larger brawls - especially those damned MM bots - and as I have Stealth, I can snipe, throw another couple of attacks without draining too much end. Fly needs to be properly slotted with Stamina if you intend on using it in PvP.

[ QUOTE ]
Is Hover a useful power?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes.

So anyone with flight and invis and tp can fly to the top and PL new players...hm.

Just to be different, I was wondering how this would fare.

Any starting points / builds people can show?

[ QUOTE ]
and what happens when heroes fly?

Build Up > Impale > Placate > AS

Makes me cry.

You be damned...annoyed...(if nothing else) if Thunderclap works though...brilliant get away trick.

[ QUOTE ]
My stalker seems to be pretty much retired for the same reasons listed above, he is only broken out if there are some fun/decent/annoying players who just have to be killed

Miss you xx
