It's quite clear (to me at least), that the heroes of Paragon City has been forgotten by the gods (read; devs), and that villains is the new black.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's how I feel about it also Which is unfortunate, since I haven't gotten into the CoV side of things, one toon at 14 is all.

MMORPG.com: In terms of balance, is there an equivalent power set available to the heroes in CoH, or is this a villainous advantage?
Matt Miller: The Patron Powers are stronger and more powerful than the “equivalent” powers in City of Heroes (the Ancillary Power Pools), because there is less diversification and the fact that Patron choices are permanent alterations to your character.

As if they weren't overpowered already... permanent alterations to ur character... hah!

The Dark Side is not stronger - it just seems that way sometimes...

I've seen Hidden taken down at least once - it's difficult, but rewarding

I've had alot more fun in Sirens recently, both on Union and Defiant.

[/ QUOTE ]
You didn't get freaked out earlier on Union then? Oh good.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh I will get you lot back for that! Defecate on my corpse will you?!

[/ QUOTE ]

On second thoughts, I think I'll shelve any plans to play on Union for the time being

Teaming is a key element for getting beginners to enjoy PvP - if you're just wandering round on your own, getting ambushed and mugged by a gang of enemies every few minutes, then that's sure to put you off.
But when you're with other who you can talk to and get advice from, and who can help watch your back, then you see it in a whole new light

Icy is Hidden? I know that Stalker

Does the PvP rep go down if you've not been in a PvP zone for a while?
Mine seems to be doing that...

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it goes down in general and only goes up if you win.

[/ QUOTE ]

Damn...
Guess I'd better hunt me some Stalkers in Siren's tonight

1. The "Rush" it gives.

This rush being the panic-stricken flight from righteous retibution when your AS fails?

You call that a bug?

Try wandering around your Family mission as your Brute, smashing and the like, on the highest difficulty (relentless or whoever ) only to find 7 or 8 people randomly spamming on broadcast saying how dark it is in your mission. You think "Thats funny" then 1 of these strange heroes types "try /stuck". All of a sudden this lone brute is surrounded by all these PvP build heroes, including blappers, stormies, /kin and /rad trollers. "Oh, dear." instantly ganked Brute in its own mission (in St Martial no less) by some randomly spawned heroes who were trying to have an arena fight.

Now THATS a bug

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait, is this true? Surely not. How could that even happen? Won't villain/hero/arena instances be on different physical machines!?

[/ QUOTE ]

nope

Funniest bug ever

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you get debt for being taken down too?

Ooooh, a cross-server rumble on Test? This could be good

As I didn't do any PvP today, the possibilty of your victim being me is somewhat remote

I've only ever seen a total of 2 Villians in 4 visits to Bloody Bay - it seems all the action is at Sirens' Call

((Well, I've been told that a lot of the guilds in WoW are somewhat...adolescent in nature, and, given some of the costume options in CoX, I'm sure a lot of player-created factions would have a similar "style"))

I know there's no faction creator, otherwise the city would be overrun with strippers/lapancers/poledancers ))

Archelon is level 37 and i've only just really started to detect stalkers with some kind of reliability (that was with the help of steamy mist and the occasional, passing AoE from other teammates).

[/ QUOTE ]

You should have been on earlier last night - we had Stalkers a-plenty for you to detect
You joined just as it was winding down...

[ QUOTE ]

Stalkers are a "low-life" AT. They do use dirty tricks, they aren't the valliant tanker takign the heat. Were that guy/girl hiding in a dark alley waiting to mug you. Were the leechers, we wait until you are at your weakest and then knock you out.

[/ QUOTE ]

Exactly! That's the point of them - it's the way you'd expect a lot of Vilians to fight.
This isn't Heroes vs Heroes, otherwise, we'd all just line up at either end of a street, and then engage in honorable battle
If you play a Hero, then you have to accept that you are going to be up against some really nasty foes.
After all, if Arachnos was that strong, they would have launched a full-scale assault on the City by now - but as we, in fact, are greater in number, and more powerful, they have to use whatever means they have at their disposal to attack us, and that means using every underhand and dirty trick in the book.

I think the devs have done a good job in giving the Villians the ability to be dangerously elusive.
Being a Hero is supposed to involve challenges, and if you can't take the Arachnos challnege, then I'm sure the Freedom Corps has a nice, safe job for you, counting paper-clips or something

[ QUOTE ]
Hence it'd be nice if everyone could try & treat all other characters with a little respect .
Something I tend to lose a lot of for people when I find 'em spewing grief on public channels when alting .

True tho, that things can get blurry at 5am . I know one of these guys as one of the nicest, & most genuine people in the game . So def' a case of an misunderstanding & not irreprable at al .

[/ QUOTE ]

Try and avoid using anything that refers to the way the game is played/being played - base all taunting/mockery on the character, especially if their name lends itself to bad jokes or puns.
If you spend your time calling people hackers/cheats/unfair players etc, then that causes too much antagonism - save the complaining for the team chat, where it won't be heard by your opponents.

Defiant has a great community with some great players, but Union seems more open to PvP. Which is a real shame.

[/ QUOTE ]
This is only down to the people who play PvP on a daily basis and gaining others attention.

We have a good few people that enjoy playing PvP and try to get everyone else to join in with the battles and fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

he speaks the truth, we do everything we can to get more and more people involved with PvP, its as simple as that

[/ QUOTE ]

Spread the word

I think the idea of Sirens is for the battles to take place
at the hot spots. Thats how I envisioned it and I presume the
devs did also. The drones where to stop the sad cases from
killing you as soon as you step outside the hospital.

Hopefully with the new I7 PvP zone, there will be more to it
than just kill the other faction. It seems to involve entire
map tactics. It might even take the coordination like that
from a hami raid to successfully own the zone. But hopefully
it wont be that hard.

So basically, if the player is TPing you from your hospital
then the blame and anger can be directed at the map developer.

Id really like it if they increased the XP people get from killing
mobs in sirens call.

[/ QUOTE ]

I find the hotspots up the lag way too much - fighting other players like that becomes too much of a lottery.
