Obv saying "I pay my sub and pay how I want" is within reason and to me if someones not pulling their weight in a team or simply doing something thats not quite right IE blasting endlessly with an empath, you tell them and give thema subtle hint...if this continues the chances are they won't be invited to the team again. I didn't use to mind polite farmers who would send an overly nice tell asking me to fill, I simply replied nicely back. But this new breed (new to me anyway) who are simply rude and dont even ask or tell you whats going on and then kick you when they've used you really gets me. So much so I if I'm invited to a team and all the team are white I check where they are, if they're in zones way above my lev I quit.

Anyways being a liberal larry I don't mind what people do unless it spoils my game and thats usually in a team. 'On Liberty' by John Stuart Mill could easily be re-written and called 'On MMORPGs'

I don't care what others do, I pay for my sub and do what I want and others do the same. It's when the two cross over that gets my goat I.E blind invite filler teams which is just darn right rude and using people as a commodity imo.

mmm maybe its just having a good couple of days then...rats =\

It seems I've managed to fix the bug happening to me, I was playing about with my internet connections and noticed my computer was using 2 different ones, since disabling the one the computer should never have touched I've not ahd the problem again!!! Touching wood but I have since played with a toon that it was occuring on and just got another lev'd to 10 without it happening once, which has never happened all week!!

So take a look at ya connections and make sure some sneaky option is ticked that really shouldn't be!

sent my information off, I only had the problem once before the pre-install/test server went live and that was in the beginning of March. Since the pre-install and test server it happened more frequently (probably once a night if that) but since i12 came out and I rolled out a total 16 new toons each one so far has been plagued by it especailly after 5/6 and when I start venturing out to King Row/Port Oakes.

As above I don't tend to play with anything else on apart from winamp from time to time and bug still occurs whether its on or not!

P.S I have let the powers that be know this

I really don't see the problem with the VEAT's like I said earlier animations being reused really isn't that much of a problem when you think about it. Yes new animations are nice to look at for the first few times but they too become old and fairly quickly when you think about the amount of times you'll see them.

powers are powers, I'd rather have a fun and different AT to play than a one with pretty animations and not much else.

In other words animations get old...choosing your career path and playing something different is a fun world trip all the way to 50 (poss beyond)

***NB*** I haven't even touched I12 yet so the new AT's could be clunkly and boring but who knows since it's not even out yet....I am purely using my powers of speculation!

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh baby!!! I wants I WANTS! Amen for more slots and the various I have working more than overtime in my head right now!

I can't wait!

P.S did he say a naughty word near the end?

As for Brutes and fury, I've gone and sat in a mob of critters building fury and then ran towards a poor controller and knocking their boots off, it can be done and that to me is what is important, if you can then who cares!

The troller must have been either afk or not paying attention to you at all, otherwise he would have attacked you while you builded fury or just ran off for 20 secs till your fury was gone.
Any player who waits stands still and wait till a brute can build fury fighting npcs (IF there are any around) and doesnt fly or jump or superspeed around till fury is gone (and its gone very fast) has no clue how to pvp.
Try building fury by fighting npcs while a blaster shoots you and your dead in no time.

Nope I was in a back street and we happened to cross paths as I had Knockout Punch selected...very easy when you know how...if a blaster was attacking me I'd just leap to them and let loose...if I die...I die (Like Rocky)

You just gotta K'now how!

1. The OP is a nut

2. A big one, if I do say so myself

3. CoX is a PvE game, and has had PvP included for a relatively short time compared to PvE

4. There is no such thing as "balanced PvP" in any game - someone always has an advantage

5. Villains have many bonuses over Heroes, such as Permadominators, Stalkers in general, and Brutes (Scrappers that can achieve a stupid damage buff)

6. Yes, Patron Pools not being respeccable does have a considerable impact on PvP - however, as stated before it is a PvE game, and the fact it is not respeccable ties neatly into the story of CoV

7. Make a PvP Villain, learn to play them, get IOs - THEN say if you think they suck

8. This thread fails...

Fact is your last 6 points are just wrong and therefore your first two points must be applied to yourself....


There are MANY games where PvP IS balanced, WoW IS balanced , not for 1v1 but for good v evil.
Hero side teams in generell are much more powerfull and better suited for PvP, mostly because of epic powersets.

Permadom Doms are rare really rare and expensive, you cant judge an AT by a build that maybe 0,5% of the playerbase plays.
Comparing Brutes to scrappers and saying brutes are better in PvP clearly prooves you have no idea what your talking about.
Fury isnt worth [censored] in PvP since you simply cant build fury at all if the player you fight knows what to do, crits are 10000% better.

As for patron pools not beeing respeccable ties neatly into the CoV story ...lol
Respeccing patrons isnt harder to explain storywise than explaining why fire/kin/ice troller suddenly looses his ice powers and gains fire or psi powers.

WoW is balanced??? Don't they have tweaks (or whatever they're called) where you're untouchable at level 19 and can go around bashing skulls without being touched?? Reeeal balanced there.

As for Brutes and fury, I've gone and sat in a mob of critters building fury and then ran towards a poor controller and knocking their boots off, it can be done and that to me is what is important, if you can then who cares!

Gratz on being the first person to understand the reference, used that bind so many times and sat in wait of someone to get it!!

J'Adore la Spirit Tree!!! Saved my skin sooo many times I won't let anyone speak bad of it...well I will but just disagree with a grunt. Like I say its saved my skin so many times, just planting it down and letting the enemy come onto me then spanking them (love my plant dom for doing this against the CoT's).

I didn't really find any probs with my plant dom in the late teens altho she's just entered the early 20's. My Ice/Psi on the other hand is a pain in the butt...level 21 being the worse...death after death!

Reason: No spirit tree!!!

So lets all gather round the spirit tree and sing a song of the woodsy lord and the forest folk.

Not wrong about the squishiness and aggro magnetism!

Altho I've noticed that pure plant seems a good choice, confusion helps with aggro and the spirit tree has saved my life so many times!

Thanks good to be in the 50's especially since I started out on the road back on 3rd Feb 2005

TheHouse finally have a lev 50 after over 2 years of playing and it would ahve to be him!

Yep finally after 50 levs of swinging a sword about calling it "scrapping" and putting up with references to a certain movie franchise he can't stand he reached the mountain top.

So big gratz to my housemate who is now doing "more constructive things" although they've yet to be seen.
