tbh I think a just reward for playing a relatively low threat non-squishy is immunity for knockback, plus it's a kick in the teeth for people at the kb res cap for squishies (acro + 5 kb io). Not to mention the fact that you can still get around ID with Power Thrust unless it's stacked at least 3 times, and any team with a kin that can keep a team with 3 IDs perma deserves not to get KBed. I like KB the way it is now, and it does play a decent part in PvP I think.

yeah cos a 5% chance for unresisted KB would really screw up the game wouldnt it.....

giving nrg blasters/defenders a nod to having a fractionally useful secondary effect in pvp is a step towards balance, no other secondary effect can be negated so completely.

Only completely on some things, nigh impossible on others. It's a status effect which only works on certain targets, like mid range slows don't work against an ice tanker, kb doesn't afffect most non-squishies, but against those without mez res toggles... it always works unless they've put a lot of IDs down on them to stop it, so long as the KB power is slotted correctly. tbh a 5% chance for unresistable kb wouldn't 'balance' things as it would be so unreliable, and would never be a viable tactic in proper pvp against those who have enough kb res anyway, as a lot of powerpushes would be wasted when one may as well be doing something more constructive, all it would do is be frustrating. I'd like to avoid that.

I blame myself for not showing up, omg I suck at knowing what day it is, but I've been feeling pretty sick recently. Sorry guys :<

No, then you get KS, Cherry or GR as a fill0r.

That's funny, cause that's exactly what someone would say if there really WAS A CONSPIRACY!

What I was actually doing was trying to ask for a show of hands, an opinion poll if you will, which is probably a mature way of doing it. Alas my pathetic attempts at wit make me look like a fool once again :<

Hands up all those in favour of level 40 PvP.

Times like this make me sad that I suck at duels :<

I would think that someone coming into this with a vanilla IO or SO build wouldn't stand a snowballs chance in hell against a fully set based or purple IO'd build.

Contrary to popular beliefs, I have exactly 0 purples. I get by.


Still can't use my sonic in monday nights cause it ruins it too much

I didn't know Empaths or Ice Blast were banned in pve

us > u

I'm totally in with whatever, and I'll try and get fatality in but some of them cba with pve lol.

Take your pick:

Sonic/Thermal corr (IOd + accoladed)

Thugs/FF MM (IOd and accoladed)

EM/WP Stalker (basic IOs, couple of accolades (lol bitter freeze transfer))

Ice/Thorn Dominator (accoladed, partially IOd)

Elec/Fire Brute (partially IOd, partially accoladed, aoe build)

My thermal would probably be the best bet, but I suppose my thugs could be useful for a sort of PA style thing with gang war and pets.

Enjoy it while it lasts, till you end up bitter freeze transfering stuff. Not worth looking at a build which could be good but only until the next patch goes live. Reroll Claws, I would. Dmg procs in HOd Focus would be nasty.

Hello all,

I just started this game 2-3 months ago, and I must say I like it much. I have leveled a bunch of toons, several past 40s. My only issue is the (relative) inactivity on villain side (making it hard to team sometime), and especially the inactivity in pvp zones. Coming from a game where I used to pvp hardcore 24/7, I just feel like I miss a part of the game.

That's why I'm considering moving to US servers. I just opened a trial account there to test the ping and see how it goes. I can see that my attack chain is a bit less fluid than what i'm used to on euro side, but i dont think it would be a huge issue for pve.

I just wanted to ask if there are any people pvping (or playing) on US servers from europe. How is the ping for you ? Is it a real issue, or nothing big ?

Thanks for the answers

If you enjoy PvP then your in for a big disappointment in this game. The PvP is so broken it needs to be remade from the ground up as the game was designed as a pure PvE game and PvP was added as an after thought. And it seems every time to tey to fix it just make it worse and worse.

Villains' already horrible spiking has been slowed

That's actually a very good point, although it only affects the very few stalkers who actually played in teams properly

Linzi

EDIT: No, wait....

It'd be gradual though, so expect most sets to get proliferated, just not all in i13

WHO TOUCHED SASHA?!
