Possible solution to this if there is a season 2 would be to have any important "decision" or event (such as the draft) performed by a non biased disinterested party. You could request a PERC officer or possibley a mod, or just someone that the captains agree on to do the draft order # picks etc. Just a thought to maintain the apearence of equality. Also CityofChange makes a very valid point re D6, more time then 1 week to get toons built would be more welcoming to new/casual PvP'rs. The updater spash screen has no "sign up by x date" and is still there, a date on that ad might be a good idea for next time. (nice job getting that btw I know they stoped doing that)


All that said this is an enourmous undertaking and I am sure alot of time went into it, so for that thank you. Since this is the first undertaking and it is such a large event there are bound to be issues, drama (duh it's PvP), and problems. I do think PvPEC rep should be able to participate in something they put so much work into. I think that as a group if there is going to be a season 2 look at what worked and what didn't and iron things out.

All in all i am really glad I signed up I love my team and have learned so much from them already. I can say that my team did exactly what they where suposed to regarding the D6 even to their own detriment. They sacrificed alot of their own scheduled practice time to teach us and make sure we got practice. If the other teams D6 are getting as much help/training as we are then the D6 portion of the league will be a great success.

I'm confused 50% of the league (3 teams at least) don't have enough to do 8v8 so how was it warented? I get that the number of draft entries did maybe, but draft entries =/= to actual team members. Why not leave it 6v6 until the late entries are given to the low population D6 teams to fill them out? Is someone absolutly pushing for 8v8, seems you are just punishing teams who lost members in the D6. If you put inexperienced PvP'rs in a stacked and unfair match you will just push them away from PvP rather than encourage it. I thought the D6 team idea was to give people new to PvP a positive enviorment to get invoved in organized PvP.

There are 3 matches each of your team would still be able to play in a match I would think.

hmmmm usually not good at the forum PvP but i believe the proper reply is:


This **** is for real!1!!!


you could through a son in there too

Hehe


Also Yay!

Actually he has moved in the villian side raids on Justice. Which you would know if you finally finished your villian *hint hint, nudge nudge*

I took the purpose of the D6 team as a way for people new to PvP to get involved with organized PvP in a non intimidating more relaxed maner. Also to give these same people access to experienced PvP'rs to learn techniques.

Not sure kicking people before the first match has even taken place is the right message to send to new PvP'rs. But what do i know i am a carebear.

Ahhh so your talking about the last nerf got it. Thanks.

I'm curious at your choice of wording here. Could you elaborate how farming for PvP IO's break the drop rate? I could see how they would skew the data but not actually break the drop rate. I would think that was predetermined by the devs. Although i didn't understand what castle said about teams getting drops so maybe your refering to that.

Neither of those validate your claim get a larger sample then post your rate.

Please read up on statistics, 1:200 =/= 1 every 200, very simple principle that not many seem to get. Your having good luck statistically. When people say the drop rate is broken they are basing it on multiple experiences from multiple people. From ones that farm all night and get 0 drops to ones like you that get drops frequently and with low kill numbers. Please read up on the principles of Probability, Population sampling, and odds, before determining from you 2 experiences that the drop rate is not broken. Thank you.

That's a known bug.

To be fair you didn't see it happen you saw your friend drop it into chat I would assume. The only one who could "see it happen" was the toon that got the drop.

Also to say it is impossible is cause the drops have specific definitions on where and what mobs/missions/tf they drop for. Purples i believe only drop on lvl 47 and up mobs and only in PvE. There are set pools for drops.

I suppose there is the possibility of a bug which is why i worded my original post to be open but more than likely your friend got it prior and didn't notice and seeing it in his recipies assumed he got it while PvP'ing.

I think only PvP IO's drop in arena so he might have gotten the purple before and didn't notice it.

Glad you had fun though that's always a good thing.

Like I said my account was unpaid for well over 60 days and i didn't loose my stuff so either it's not 60 days anylonger or it's broken. I think iggy was gone 7+months.

edit: to say ty for looking it up and posting

True one would expect the "no wai" challenge and i am sure they did, but i don't think any said they actually used the exploit only know of it. Though the fact that one person already deleted a post for fear of saying too much should show that there is a certain caution.

I wasn't saying you can't say "no wai", just don't ever expect to get your proof. No one would risk it just to appease ney sayers there is no logic/benefit in doing so.

General message: You don't have to believe it, but just because a large part of the player base doesn't know an exploit exhists doesn't make it BS. I have not seen any of these farms nor do I know the exploit. I do however know the people in this thread talking about it and trust that they are being honest and accurate.
