Quason

Gah. I've been using the internet since before it was the internet, when all there was were the Usenet groups and Gopher (anyone remember Gopher?) and I STILL haven't gotten the hang of this whole internet humor thing.

I think i'm just going to have to accept the fact that I'm not a funny person.

Ouchy, Quason and Arctus a little touchy eh? Jumping down ole Bio and CZ's throat. A little harsh imo.

I was kidding (damned lack of emotion in text) but that STILL doesn't make leaving the zone and losing bounty a good idea.

(there, an emoticon. that portrays humor, right? I'm trying.)

Possibly because it's a stupid idea that jackholes who think they're funny tend to toss at you in an effort to draw attention away from their sad little lives and their withered little phalli.

Just a thought.

I spent the rest of the night convincing Quason that I had not set him up for an ambush

Like I said, I was just asking. It sounded like something I'd do so I just wanted to make sure.

With BU+AS+ET I've been known to 2 shot Blasters, Defenders, Controllers, and SR Scrappers

[/ QUOTE ]

You one-shot defenders and controllers, and brawl will damn near kill a blaster after AS. However, you're spot on about Scrappers. And it's not only SR Scrappers that this works on. I've been able to two-shot ALL scrappers with AS/ET.

Doesn't work on invuls or regens using dull pain, but it's just a matter of knowing what the base scrapper HP is in your PvP zone and mousing over their red bar before you attack to make sure they don't have it active.

Neither have I come to think of it.

I like tater tots!

Prior to finishing for the night with my Stalker, I did get comepletely destroyed once by Dinah Might.

[/ QUOTE ]

I got Dinah earlier. Managed to knock off her status protection and land a stun afterward so it was a pretty quick kill. Hopefully I didn't upset her though, because someone challenged me to a 1 on 1 shortly thereafter and she told them in broadcast not to trust me because I wouldn't fight fair. Not sure what that was all about, but I certainly did fight fair and won the 1 on 1 (Regen scrapper, two-shotted him).

*shrug* Anyway, no hard feelings on my part and hopefully not any on Dinahs either, just confused about the comment.

Oh come on, honestly. What kind of self-important sycophant makes a guide about trolling. It's not like trolls actually need help doing it, and it's not like we want to create MORE of them with some kind of Do It Yourself manual. Ridiculous.

(Personally, I feel that flaming IS appropriate in some circumstances, particularly if the thread is already going in a steady direction which accomplishes something meaningful and your goal is to derail that by taking the focus off the topic and shifting it to your flaming. Technically this would be "flamebaiting" rather than "trolling" but the distinction is largely academic.)

Oh,I took down Quason about two times, and then he got me really good with his placate two times, so it's about even.

[/ QUOTE ]

We'll settle it tomorrow if you feel like it, cuz you're right... I'm pretty sure the score is an even 2 to 2 right now.

I can see how ice/* controllers would become FotM for PvP, however, concidering the fact that it's absolutely impossible for a Stalker to assassinate an ice controller or any member of his team if they stay close.

I'd say ice/storm would be the more popular choice, however.

I asked for clarification on this when it was mentioned on the beta boards. The code will be for PLAYERS ONLY, meaning that a player will not be one-shotted by players OR by mobs. Players will still be able to one-shot mobs.

It was Abbott and Costello Go Stalking...

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, I'll freely admit that I was screwing that whole TP thing up completely. It might have worked if you'd have had someone that was even remotely competent at TPing.

Problem is, if you make hurricane into a knockback power, you'll be knocking targets out of the to-hit debuff.

I thought we agreed never to speak of that debacle again, Frost? That was embarassing.

We're working on some other tactics too, but I'm having some trouble getting my part of it down right now. Quason is a little slow on the uptake sometimes, but we'll keep practicing.

I would have requested a 1 vs 1 but Quason taught me a valuable lesson in the morality of villainry during the Bloody Bay levels.

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh, I remember that. That was half prank, half vengeance. Frost and his team had been handing me and my team our lunch for a while, so I called Frost out for a 1 on 1, then got 3 stalkers to jump him when he landed.

Anyway, it won't happen again. Anytime you want an actual 1 on 1, you have my word that there will be absolutely no intentional interference of any kind. I can't help it if some random tool comes by and jumps in, but there's always that risk in open PvP anyway.

Was trying to fight a scrapper earlier (Faceless was his name, not sure if he's a poster) and got jumped by a team of 6 that all had me as their Bounty. Apparently they just followed the map waypoint and opened fire despite the fact that we had both requested in broadcast that there be no interference and there was about a dozen people standing around watching and not interfering. The funny thing is that I ran at the first sign of interference. They STILL didn't manage to kill me.

Is this for real? I have to go test this out. That's a pretty big change, and I knew nothing about it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not to single you out, but the fact that you didn't know about this proves the fact that it's an insignificant change.

If it were some crippling nerf, we'd have been screaming about it from the mountain tops. I didn't know about it either till Castle mentioned it, so I'm certainly not going to start crying about it. I got to level 26 with the current build up, I can get to 50 with it .

The "do away with toggle dropping" thing is just the fad of the day. There's a new one every week. Someone will start a "Nerf X" thread and everyone will go "YEAH, NERF X!" and it'll go around for a while and usually die down pretty quickly, never to be heard from again.

This, too, will pass.

Took down Buffey in a good one on one tonight, then took down Lil' Vixen in a VERY good one on one.

Then, I proceeded to get completely and utterly embarassed by Arctus. We won't even discuss that, it was sad.

Also took down Frost Reborn in a cheap gankfest along with Iltat, since he can see through double stealth and generally massacres me one on one. Hey, whatever it takes, right?

BTW, one last thing. I know what it's like to try to chase down a bounty in Siren's Call that's running all over the zone. If you draw me as your bounty and get sick of chasing me, you're more than welcome to call me out for a one on one. Just make sure you have villain chat enabled (options/general tab/chat subheading) and call me out in broadcast or PM. Even if I know full well I don't have half a prayer against you, I'll give it a shot.

No, but I guarantee you that if I played two of my characters against each other, Gemma, I'd win.

Quick shout out to Dama Proteja, Ebon Welkin, Rizie, Gard, and Deadboy who have been fun targets in the last few days. There's more but those are the ones that immediately spring to mind.

All extremely skillful PvPers, but more importantly, they're all good sports and know how to be good winners AND good losers. I have a lot of respect for that.
