I do it all the time in WB. Wait for a impatient stalker to AS, then follow up with a AS. Its going to be crazy in large populated zones like RV:

Stalker AS's a stalker after the stalker AS's a blaster. Said stalker then gets AS'd after he AS's. Then another Stalkers AS's the last stalker that AS'd.

One big AS orgy!

(AS stands for assassin strike, get your mind out of the gutter)

Freedom hateorade is in short supply here at the forums. The regulars drink it by the troth.

So true.

People on the forums constantly bash any mention of PvP like its the bane of CoX. If youre looking for anything constructive you usually end up with "lol pvp". Another comment I often hear on the forum is that the PvP community takes up less then 10% of the CoX community so we arent that important.

[/ QUOTE ]

Y'all would get a much better reception if a sizable portion of that 10% wasn't composed of the most thin-skinned, arrogant players around, most of whom also labor along under the weight of outsize persecution fantasies.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just about everything you just stated about PvPers can get copied, pasted and applied to some of the forumites as well.

I also like how you said "most" there. Tells me a little about how you feel about the PvP community as a whole.

[ QUOTE ]
I applaud the effort but you aren't going to get much sympathy on the forums. Most of the forums goes are openly hostile to PvP and PvP players in general.

Funny thing about that is the forum community takes up less then 10% of the CoX community. Talk about irony.

Its obvious the devs dont really care what the PvPers want. This was proven in i13 beta when the devs basically ignored just about every suggestion made to improve this joke they call PvP 2.0. To top it off its been stated by positron that PvP is more balanced and better then it was before i13. As sad as it is PvP 2.0 is here to stay. You have 2 choices, adapt or leave.

PI, get a few people together to increase the spawn numbers and it goes by rather quick. I tried FBZ but it seems to go slower then PI.

Perfect chance for a new pvp zone with i12 rules!

Lets make a post for a new "Going Rogue" pvp zone with i12 rules so the dev's can ignore it.

I'll go with boosting it's accuracy, damage and immob magnitude/duration, but then 30 seconds might make it seem a bit overpowered also.. I already think the Staff and other "temp powers" recharge too quickly.

[/ QUOTE ]
30 seconds would not be overpowered; even on a Controller that wouldn't make the immobilize perma on even-cons, and even the longest recharging vet attack powers have recharges of 16 seconds.

[/ QUOTE ] I wasn't saying it would be overpowered as a general power.. but that it would be overpowered as a "temp power". What happens if even half of a full team starts spamming the power over and over again? I don't think that's the intended use of a "temp power".

Like I said.. I already think the Nemesis Staff and Sands of Mu, and other "temp powers" recharge too quickly.. Adding even more short-recharge attack powers that anybody can get, we'll eventually end up with players who use the temp powers more than their Primary attacks. What's the point of having ATs? We can all be Temps! lol

[/ QUOTE ]

Id agree if the temp was actually powerful. How many blasters do you see spamming ring of fire on a full teams? Its next to worthless unless you solo. Now take that same power and change the recharge from 3 seconds to 30. I dont know about you but I dont see that being even close to OP, even if a FULL team spams it over and over. In fact that would gimp a teams damage severely. 30 seconds would be way too short, but 25 minutes is ridiculous. Personally I think about 3-5 min would be good.

What about City of Villains Going Good?

Man, those devs really do hate villains

On a serious note, this looks awesome. That trailer gave me a bit of the chills. Now to play the waiting game.

I asked pwn to arena my tank...

he refused.

They basically did the same thing with variations of the name like:

REPLIC4TION
REPL1CATION
REPLICATI0N

I say the only way that us as pvp'rs can move forward is for us to stop looking at the past and instead try and figure out the future. Like end said the devs are not going to roll it back. We know this by now. It would be moving backwards and I don't know any development team (and compnay) that would admit they are wrong when something bad happens.

The only thing I can think of is we can try and make suggestions for i13/14 and upcoming issues to improve this system. Maybe just maybe if we are civil with our request they will listen to us this time. all that has been hapening lately is everyone saying this is bad let's go back to i12. That's not going to happen.

It may be wasted breath, but its the only thing I see that could maybe help out. You would think even if they won't admit they are wrong about i13 that they would learn from there mistakes about not listening and would take some of our ideas about upcoming issues better then they did in i13 beta. But like in anything we have to be civil in request to be able to get anything done and drop what happened back then.

Who knows it might work or it might be wasted breath. But we don't know if we try and this is the only way I see anything happening.

After asking the PvP community to make a PvP wish list with ways to improve PvP just to totally ignore it and run with what they thought was best makes me seriously doubt they care about anything the PvPers have to say.

I was in SC (freedom) on my stalker the day before yesterday and a VG with about 10 corrupters named REPLICATION popped up in the usual fite klub location and began to gank any hero that crossed their path. Was pretty funny seeing a bunch of clones swarm a hero and wipe them out in a barrage of ranged attacks and debuffs.

It looked so fun I had to switch over to my tank and see how it did. Within a few minutes of swapping sides the replicants were laid to rest rather quickly. They kept trying to regroup and counter attack but were wiped out every time until they finally left the zone.

Never seen or heard of them before but I have to admit, it was a pretty cool idea. Was that some type of new PvP VG?

The MA isn't 'removing a vast majority of the population of players into farms.' The people farming now were the same people farming before the MA. They just had other ways of doing it. They can do it in a more condensed fashion now. The farmer population didn't grow, it just consolidated.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe so, but what about new players?

Say someone sees the new i14 package in best buy, or purchases the game from steam. They install the game and hit atlas park. Soon after he gets a tell asking him to join a AE farm. After a few runs the new players has a level 30 toon and doesn't know how to get to talos island yet.

Either way the farming and exploits don't bother me much, but I do see how AE has it's obvious bad points that may or may not burn out players rather fast.

That advice actually worked!

I opened the missions file and saw its basically html coding and I'm pretty familiar with it. I checked all of my text and noticed one of them had this at the beginning:

 

I slightly remember that being used for spaces and removed it and saved. I hit publish and it worked

Thanks for the help.

When I click ok on the error message window it closes and nothing happens. It's weird because I can test it and get no error messages but when I try to publish I get that message.

Sorry is this has been addressed before but I looked 5 pages back and did a search but didn't come up with anything.

I tried publishing a arc today and got a "Unable to publish arc.: The field Description begins with whitespace." error message.

What exactly does that mean? I'm guessing it means I have a space at the beginning of a text line, but I went through them all and didn't notice any. I even went into the blank lines and made sure they didn't have any spaces in it. What am I doing wrong?

FINALLY!

I applied the serial code, and it only took 4 and a half hours.

Ok thats it, I'm fed up. I wont be buying the next pack no matter how sweet it is.






Who am I kidding, I'll be the first in line.

6:45 PST and the new NC Soft store is still gimped. Frustrating when one is *trying* to throw one's money away!

[/ QUOTE ]

I was able to throw my money away at gamestop 4 hours ago and still cant collect whats mine...

I bought the game and can't enter the smegging code on my account management page. I've gotten as far as trying to apply the code to a account only to be greeted by the Page Load Error message.

Why must you mock me Page Load Error!!

[ QUOTE ]
From what I can see you can't apply the code to another account. How did you do this?

[/ QUOTE ]

Im guessing both accounts were under the same master account.

You will get a prompt like the TP Prompt

[/ QUOTE ]

Nice. I was a little worried about this power.

So how does the bonus power work exactly? Can you decline the buff/debuff or remove it after its applied?

How does 1.6 kills per second add up to 300 kills in 3 hours? With 1.6 kills per second 300 could be reached in minutes.

...am I taking things too literally again?

Got my first drop today, then a second and then a third:

Gladiator's Armor: Resistance
Gladiator's Net: Endurance Reduction/Recharge/Hold
Gladiator's Javelin: Damage/Recharge

Guess my bad luck finally ran out. Worth around 20-30 mil each.

One question, do the PvP IO's exemplar like purps? I think I remember reading that somewhere but Im not sure.
