HAH!
I'm on the side of the OP!!!
The Responses to Avoiding the First Tier Secondary:
1. NO. Because we've been doing it this way for 6 years.OK, that's just dumb. It's like saying leave Faultline the way it was because that's the way it was. Or go back to old Vigilance or Defiance because that's the way it was. Or don't implement inherent Fitness because that's the way it was for 6 years. People who make this argument are the ones to be ridiculed and told they're not allowed to participate in discussions anymore.
2. NO. People will skip HIDE!
You mean like how some MMs skip Pets? Or 'Healers' skip attacks? Or Blasters skip melee attacks? Or Tankers skip Taunt? Why not let people hold off taking Hide until they have their Assassination power? And where's the indignation for "No! Controllers will skip GALE!"? Have you all heard the news that not all first tier secondary powers are equal in utility? How about giving people whose first tier secondary powers is nearly useless a chance to skip it?
3. I'm Laughing. I've got an owl.
I've got a brain.
WRT the OPs alternative solution of auto-six slotting powers that are forced on you... I would say no because the easier and more elegant solution would simply be to allow a choice to the first tier secondary... either the second tier secondary, the third tier primary, or a first tier Power Pool.
-
so we can slot the way we want because it is annoying to have slotting limitations on these powers.
-
it's annoying and we should not be forced to take a power that we may not want. if you can't change this then provide 6 enhancement slots that are "locked in" instead of 1. also, do the same thing for boxing or kick when chosen from the fighting pool, not both.

First of all thanks OP for the suggestions, I agree something new would be nice in PvP.
Second, This is the suggestion board, if you dont like PvP or have a suggestion of any kind other than 'PvP should have never been added!' then you need to gtfo. Thanks.
PvP has been apart of this game for years and neglected at that, you people just find crap to whine about.
Back on topic,... I dont know if I like having so many Booster Packs - I would like to see other additions though, cross-server arena, some new arena maps, pvp fixes...anything would be nice at this point.
yeah just tossing around ideas because something is better than nothing and "anything would be nice at this point" sums up how i feel now after my pvp super kitty died from neglect. -

tone down kinetic melee attack sounds.
some electric control powers could sound more epic and less fartyish.
transference and some (idk which) H.E.A.T. attack powers have an over amplified sound.
the wind sound while flying was toned down but im still not a fan of it personally.
tone down quills.
sonic attack and sonic resonance could use a new sound set.
i'll check demons again bc they were pretty annoying before and not sure how much has changed since beta. -

What's funny is that the OP somehow thinks running through the sewers killing mobs of bad guys with no story or mission content behind it, isn't somehow farming.
LOLWUT?

i think it would be like way cool and superly awesome great for the devs to make pvp "members only" booster packs for the game. here are some totally wicked rad ideas...
"members only" pvp zone where all of these great ideas below work so it does not disrupt or unbalance pve land or the other pvp zones.
"members only" pvp build with access to all enhancements.
"members only" accolade pack. all accolades and make some new ones too.
"members only" military styled faction costumes, capes, auras and emotes.
there are many more "members only" ideas but i don't feel like typing them now but i will later sometime.
there is a lot of potential here so im just throwing out the idea of pvp booster packs for something to think about. i think that pvp booster packs would help retain current pvpers, draw in some new pvp buddies and make the devs some loot. then maybe the devs will get enough loot to do lots more for pvp and the entire future of the product.
thanks mod 12, you are awesome! -

there is no guide for i13 pvp
PvP 2.0 Guide (in progress)
1. your powers perform differently while in a pvp zone. you will be lost, clueless and pwnd for a while.
2. there is way more Travel Suppression in pvp than in pve.
3. Diminishing Returns has made most defense powers laughable and has killed the role of buffers. Melee toons benefit more from buffs. Mids' does not show numbers for DR.
4. the more you heal within x amount of seconds the less effective it is because of Heal Decay.
5. 99% of Slow powers suck because they removed -Max Run Speed.
6. basically all toons have the same mez capabilities now.
7. single target attacks do more damage in pvp. Some attacks are good and make sense but some suck and don't make sense as far as damage is concerned.
8. there are less viable builds now.
9. making a halfway decent pvp build now will require an investment of many billions and require getting accolades.
10. you know pvp is really bad because all of the fanbois and fancatgirls who trolled upset pvpers during i13 all think pvp sucks now as well
11. poor Castle, sorry dude. really.
12. Posi has made promises to improve pvp since issue 13 but has not followed through so it looks like the dev team does not care or are not capable.
13. no mez protection only mez resistance.
14. there is more info but i'll work on it when i have time.
15. when sunstorm was a red name he/she said that they changed pvp because new people could not win at pvp and they wanted new people to get kills so they could get the low drop rate and expensive to buy DRed pvp ios.
16. more to come. -
ummm guys and gals we have to figure out how to help 95%+ of the players afford SOs before we can tackle inf caps.

Quote:legend says that the nether species of goat are perfect for such sacrifices.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
thought up a good analogy for raising the inf cap last night while chatting with my homies in the market channel:
if programming the game was voodoo and raising the inf cap meant sacrificing a chicken, I'd be all for it. If it meant sacrificing a cow, I'd have second thoughts. -
Quote:i posted about this before but let's have another look at some of these numbers.Originally Posted by MrLiberty
This is definitely a cop out response. Lets keep in mind we were talking 3 and a half years to slot out 24 out of 91 slots for a character. I look at my ill/emp build and it has 8 sets of PvP IO's and 2 sets of purples.
More than double the situation for the Psi/EM.
There is a difference between ultra rare being ultra rare and spending the better part of half a decade playing every day 5 missions a day to get the best gear for 1 character in a game that is focused around alts.
I checked my schedule and it would appear the next 3-5 years of my life are indeed free to grind out all those PvP IO's. You sir are in luck, I'll have your build ready by January 15, 2014.
1 PVP RECIPE (30 hero villain alignment merit version) FREE METHOD
60 days and 330 missions later = 30 hvams
24 PVP RECIPES (30 hvam version) FREE METHOD
1,440 days and 7,920 missions later = 720 hvams
1 PVP RECIPE (30 hvam version) 1/2 FREE 1/2PAID METHOD
30 days and 165 missions and 750 merits and 300,000,000 inf later = 30 hvams
24 PVP RECIPES(30 hvam version) 1/2 FREE 1/2PAID METHOD
720 days and 3,960 missions and 18,000 merits and 7,200,000,000 inf later = 720 hvams
1 PVP RECIPE (30 hvam version) PAID METHOD
30 days and 1500 merits and 600,000,000 inf later = 30 hvams
24 PVP RECIPES (30 hvam version) PAID METHOD
720 days and 36,000 merits and 14,400,000,000 inf later = 720 hvams

don't worry guys and gals, they are just making room for a pvp dev team like i suggested to posi.

So, who's bright idea was it to move to Freedom, of all servers, for PvP? It's probabley not the brightest choice, given that it's the most populous, highest lag, and has the greatest concentration of morons. Zone PvP (not that I've ever taken it seriously) is a gigantic opportunist KS fest where you can faceroll your AS, Sharks, Gloom, and, hell, even Full-Auto in there for your kills.
Why couldn't we choose a better server like Infinity or Champion?
Actually, on that note, wtf happend to Infinity?
freedom is the best choice for pvp unless you like to rpfc the same 5 people.
many would rather put up with lag than to play on an empty wasteland server.
judging by your post, poor attitude and lack of zone pvp understanding you should really be careful about using the word moron.
cry more about how zone pvp was designed to function.

War Witch you neglected my super kitty and now she is dead. why did you do that?
Donna don't worry about Hydro because i'm sure he/she will change his/her tune when DR hits pve land.
Hydro be careful what you wish for. also, it generally helps to know about a topic before you start providing suggestions to improve it. -
Quote:a bunch of us are making some phat loot on purples and pvp ios because of this reward system. we are really looking forward to some purples and pvp ios hitting the 1 bil mark and certain proc (looking at you my precious little panacea proc muahahaha!) hitting the 2 bil mark. after that point we will be able to make trades off market on more than just the glad armor proc.Originally Posted by MrLiberty
So I finally started to grind out some hero merits (because hey there isn't much to do).
1 Hero merit = 11 tip missions or 50 Merits + 20 million influence (Can get 50 merits from Synapse I think which can be run in about an hour to hour and a half). Can earn one once every 20 or 24 hours.
1 Piece of Glad Jav set = 25-30 Hero Merits
1 Full set = 165 Merits
5 Pieces of Apoc = 100 Merits
Say you are looking at a Psi/EM 3 sets of glad javs + 1 set of apocs.
(3 x 165) + 100 = 595 hero merits to have your standard range offensive toon slotted out for PvP.
To be able to do that you'd also need 11.9 Billion influence (if you are converting normal merits) and run the Synapse TF around 600 times. Or you would need to do 6,545 tip missions.
You would need to do the Synapse TF every day for over a year and a half. (Synapse TF is 15 missions long though some are deliveries. Either way adds up to 9,000 missions)
You can only get 5 tips per day, taking you 2 days to earn a hero merit that way. Off tips alone you would need to do 5 missions 1 day, 6 the next and after 3 and a quarter years you'd have your blaster's main attacks PvPIO/Purpled out.
Awesome.
i would like to take this time to thank the devs for low drop rates, unreasonable alignment merit costs for purples and pvp ios, repetitive missions, time restrictions for earning alignment merits and for keeping an uncontrolled market system where i can dry up recipes and enhancements of my choice then trickle them back in at a much higher rate.
luv u devs! keep it working as intended! -

Quote:rachel do you know that CoX is an mmorpg based off of the superhero comic book genre?Originally Posted by Steampunkette
I must resist the lulz...
That's... a massive amount of work to just add on to someone's workload. They didn't hire on a ton of new people to continue putting out the same small content updates they had been... They've all got fairly full plates.
And then asking them to sift through however many "lolPvP" and "13PvSuck" threads and posts for serious and important feedback...?
They'd do -far- better by hiring Je Saist.
-Rachel-
rachel do you know that hero vs villain combat is a big part of the superhero comic book genre?
rachel do you know that the hero vs villain combat in this mmorpg is called pvp?
rachel have you ever heard of rppvp?
rachel would it not make sense to have exciting super powered combat instead of lame sucky powered combat for this mmorpg based off of the superhero comic book genre?
rachel you are lead dev and creator for a future mmorpg (*looks at banner in your sig*) so what would you do if you wanted to have exciting pvp combat in your mmorpg? you would have someone work on it right? or do you believe things just magically happen on their own?
rachel do you think NCsoft and Paragon Studios are that poor that they can't hire someone to work on an important aspect of this mmorpg that includes pvp combat?
rachel did you know that there are 80 employees working at Paragon Studios?
rachel do you think that out of those 80 employees they can't find someone capable enough to handle an important aspect of this game properly?
rachel you have a limited POV. you are also biased because you are lead dev and creator of a future mmo (*looks at banner in your sig again*) that will be in direct competition with CoX as well. maybe you don't want CoX to succeed or become a well rounded and exciting mmorpg to play but many here do. -

Unless they create a Roleplaying Developer position, first, I think it's a waste of resources. There are far more RPers in CoH than PVPers, and they still haven't had almost a full issue spent on them.
-Rachel-
pvp here has a ton of potential but it is being wasted and mismanaged. until pvp is deleted from the whole system it should be handled better.
sorry but the dev team is spread too thin on multiple project to properly handle most things. positron has good intentions for pvp by his statements, castle is obviously overworked, and given the past and current state of pvp there should be someone there who is mainly focused on all things pvp related. by adding a pvp dev the whole team can work more efficiently on all other areas as well thus taking another step foward to having a well rounded product. -
please create a pvp dev position and put the most pvp knowledgeable person in it.
thanks -

A. This is not my only account. |
B. I have played since the beginning and am old as well as mature enough not to care about something like my reg date.
C. You are the ony who clearly does not understand how the powers work or even tested them in PVP application just by what you said ABOVE the bolded text, much less in it.
D. Furthermore, I would suggest you grow up, or as it is very possible due to the way you responded, keep acting your young age.
Clearly you did not read the disclaimer, as it asked for mature comments.
I say, -1 for you troll.
i'll take these suggestions http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=130423 over yours thanks.
read it perhaps you may learn something.
