Welcome to the game!
May i suggest that you join the new player global channel just type /chan_join "N P C"
You can read about it here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=212083
You can get help there while you are playing in game -
Would like to express my thanks as well especally for having the D6 aspect so i could meet some great people (on all teams), learn bunches, and have fun.
Would especially like to thank both my teams especially those on BoBC er INOANN for the time and help they gave me. -

I am mostly surprized for what I get rep for both +&-. I don't take it seriously so it's all lol, but it's very interesting at what people think is rep worthy. I have gotten plus rep for birthday posts, for saying someone was my favorite skirt wearing man, and i have gotten negative rep for posting factual info or for warning someone to delete their post when the said on the open forums they where in beta. It's mystifying and unpredictable but at the same time interesting and entertaining as long as you dont take it seriously. I do miss the comments being on your user page as like i said i like to see what was rep'd out of pure curiosity.
I had wondered about the dark green bars as well so it was interesting to know the answer, ty all. -
Well as much as I would love to make a zerg raid I have PvP matches tonight
Even the failed zerg Hery did was fun when the entire raid wiped i was cracking up. When i get home tonight I will try to put in global channels to get nukes and shives and lead a team/assist if needed.

I did also point out "that's what got you reported". Mod's rarely peruse threads for violations. Someone has to use the report post button to bring their attention to it. So there could be several other posts in the same thread violating the same rule but only the one reported will get smacked. Hope that further clarifies.

Quote:The part I am quoting (sorry mod 08) is a direct personal attack, at least that would be my guesstamate on what rule that post violates. The rest of the post looks fine this would be my best guess, again you will probably get a PM Mod08 might not have gotten around to it yet.
some of our regular forum pvp'er are the biggest smack talkers there are, namely, conflict, BB and supermax."
Now what pray tell would a mod find offensive about said post?
For example I could say "Philly stop trolling" and that would be ok, saying "Philly your a troll" not ok. (I think anyway if i remember the wording) Not that i would ever be a troll on these forumsThe fact that you named names would be what probably got it reported and erased.
-
Just to further explain, Merc only quoted your post partially and what was quoted by him most likely did not include the forum rule violating wording. My guess is (i can't remember) Max quoted the whole post, and thus also required deletion. Usually you get a PM telling you a post was deleted beause you violated forum rule x *looks at all the old PM's from Nivine and Mod 08* I maybe speaking from experience.... It doesn't look like it was Mod 08 tough since he usually leaves a lil *edited by mod 08* message and i don't know if the other forum moderators actually send PM's. Woops edited there is the lil edited by mod 08 message i missed it till Con pointed it out.

Quote:This ^Please note the players you mentioned are only better at being jerks when jerks show themselves. If you actually knew Con and/or Barrier (I don't really know Max) you'd realize they only trash talk loud mouthy players who start spewing off in the first place.
If a player asks for help with a build or PVP tactics then these guys would be the first to jump in and offer helpful advice/guidance and they'd be spot on with their tips.
They don't start the trash talk, they're just better at doing it.
Actually Con is one of the people who has always answered any question I have asked and taken the time to elaborate on the why's. It's all about how you approach someone and your missing that, talk **** get **** back just more eloquently delivered. -

This is a great idea Masque
I can't offer any real knowledge (i am a nublet) other than if anyone asks about the transition into PvP and getting a tougher skin for some of the broadcast/ac chat PvP.
Just wanted to compliment you on this effort -
Quote:Really?
Their stated goal boiled down to "Make PvP more fun for non-PvPers"
One of the biggest complaints about PvP from non-PvPers wasn't the way the powers worked, or even that certain ATs were at a disadvantage. The biggest complaint was people being jerks in the zones.
If that was the thing making PvP not fun for non-Pvers, how do you resolve the issue? Easy.....get rid of the jerks.
But....they're not breaking any rules that you could ban them for, and they aren't really cheating, they're just being jerks. The only way to get rid of them is to convince them to leave on their own. Completely changing the way PvP works is really the only way they can do that without tipping their hand.
The only catch to my theory is: It is completely impossible to prove or disprove any of it. If that IS what the devs are doing, they're hardly going to come out and say so. And if it isn't what they're doing, no amount of theorizing will make it true.
Just food for thought.
Wow.
Not all PvP'rs are jerks, matter of fact the jerk population is in the minority from my own experience. People on Justice have always helped me with answering questions, teaching me techniques, sending me builds etc. Now that I am on Freedom I find it to be a similar situation when I have asked for help/input that is what I have gotten, and not just from my league team. I am experiencing more of the jerkish population but that literally is cause I moved to a server with a higher population period.
Also I used to not understand the aspects of PvP and would get frustrated going into RV for pills or AV's. I took the time to learn about PvP I joined a pentad that Justice radio and the PvPEC had so I could learn about PvP. So if you are going to blame the PvP'rs as jerks then blame all non PvP'rs who enter the zones and cry as being uneducated and uninformed whiners.
There is as much responsibility for the "new person" to PvP to educate himself as there is on anyone else in this game PvE or PvP. As in PvE if you ask for help I think you would get it. To walk into a PvP zone and think you will dominate it your first time there is just idiotic and arrogant, but every time you are killed you can learn from it.
If you think the dev's changed PvP for that reason then you are being more insulting then any of the PvP'rs you are critiquing. -
I really should update my CA....
-
You should totally make it 8pm so I can go....
regardless if anyone needs help with nukes or shives shoot me a tell. -
Is that to fix some of the numbers issues?
