Yup. Sorry if I copied your style

Have any videos that aren't lolfiteclub?

I agree.

Also, God has been used on network TV many times, even in recent programming.

God as a word has the capability to be used tastefully and in good context. If it isn't, there's a report for content button right there. I see no reason to remove it from the MA when it's in game already.

I remember when you could put ANY enhancement in any power, whether it did something or not. I recall putting in range enhancements in Blazing Aura, thinking by level 40 that I could wipe out all of AP by standing still (this was before I understood how enhancements actually worked).

I also remember when Ice Armor and Dark Armor couldn't use all of their toggles together. It was one or the other, but never both.

Perhaps, but his feels less... specific, in my opinion. Rather than saying "you took it too late" it feels more like he's saying "the order you took your powers is bad". One's providing how to solve the problem, one isn't but still remains in the negative.

Venture should probably look at DeviousMe's thread for an example of how to review something. Rather than just saying "you're doing it wrong", he says "here's what I thought was wrong and how you can fix it."

Much better than the negativity without correction that I've seen here.

My response to this would be...

If he tells you how to fix it, then he's writing your arc for you.

If he simply tells you what's wrong and then go fix it, you're still writing your arc.

I know many times when I've had fiction critiqued, when someone tells me how THEY would have done something, I usually disregard it, because it's usually totally not what I would do to fix the issue.

I disagree. Giving advice on how to improve the problem isn't the same as doing it for you.

For example, if someone were to post a build for a stalker, and I told them that the level they picked their powers was way off, I'd be doing similar to what Venture is here. If I went on to say "you should move Placate and Sha earlier in the build, as those are key survival tools", then I'm not making the build for them, but letting them now how they could improve it for themselves.

Now, if I posted a build and said "here, do this" then you could say I was doing it for them. If Venture were to rewrite the mission text as he would like it, then you could say he was doing the same.

Fastest advancement ever

Ex, if you don't gfriend me, I'll never send you another Harry and David basket again!

Could you clarify question 6? I understand entirely the mechanics behind the changes, but I'll be damned if I can understand the devs' thoughts in them.

Temporal Subversion by @Xilibrius

A very fun and story driven arc.

I made a guide on how to deal with abusive chat in PvP zones.

Really, it isn't that hard.

and that is what was said, or how it was taken, about dr.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bolded for emphasis.

That's how YOU took what they said. I've yet to see anyone else make the same claim. All what was said about the changes were that they were focused on the arena and that further changes for the zones would be at a later date. Nothing about DR being unintended for zones or anything else you may have read into their statements.

[ QUOTE ]
. remember when they said that dr was only suppossed to affect the arena and that the spill over into the zones was unintended and being looked at?

[/ QUOTE ]

They never said that.

They said the focus of i13 was the arena, but as far as the intentions of the changes affecting the zones or not remained unstated. All they said was that zones were to be looked at specifically at a later date.

Also, you ARE aware that there's a 30 second timer upon entering a zone, right? Within that 30 seconds, you are unable to be attacked by a player enemy. If you want to get out of the base, move faster.

I like that response.

Here's the form I send out

It's amazing how spectacularly they failed, in the end.

I'd probably go FM at this point. The damage helps a lot, though EM isn't a BAD choice.

Unless you plan on fighting a lot of bad MM's, it's a pretty skippable power.

Then again, DM isn't exactly a great PvP set anyways. Especially now that they've removed ToF's duration.

If you're lucky enough to catch someone with it, I assume it'll work just the same. For Siphon Life, I'd either frankenslot it as best you can, or go with a standard Mako/Purple set up. Damage is pretty much the only thing that matters now in PvP as it is.

Also, the mechanic of mez protection was removed.

Funny. I look at it more like PvP 2.0 is the Devs way of yanking the training wheels off of many who thought they were really good.

[/ QUOTE ]

I want to touch on this for a second.

How do you figure? The people who were good at PvP before still wreck people in the zones, and the ones who aren't are only getting by against other bad players due to a more "i13" enabled build. I understand there were quite a few people who thought they were good before and simply weren't, but that hasn't really changed at all. All we get now are people who think they're good because they lived longer against a better player, even though their chances of survival are actually worse.

I'd say that 80% figure has changed drastically after i13 hit.

Why is that?

This thread is completely unnecessary, considering you started one just like it about five minutes prior.
