  1. So you're shaking your finger at the 'bashers' by.. bashing.. them?
  2. Repel Ball was good times.
  3. There's currently a good amount of action on Champion as well. I'd take your most PvP viable toon/s and move them to one of the active PvP servers so you don't have to leave your PvE'centric group, but can still get in on some frequent action.
  4. Very nice piece. *waves at TJ*
  5. Yay! Happy Berfday!

    HUZZAH!!

    You punch that ticket. You put in that time. Someday everyone will love you as much as they love me. It's a dream, but a good dream that deserves the effort. <3

    But the hatred is in fact a magical and special thing that is meant to be cherished. One must accept this to move forward in the pvp forums.
    It's a long path. A painful path. But somewhere.. somehow.. there's rainbow ponies on it.

    You had something until you said this bit. Zones were always good for a laugh or to waste some time, but those that wanted the more competitive nature of PvP didn't go to the zones for it.

    No one cares about selfish ****** bags in general or your personal trolling here that lacks relevance.

    Next time you want to post something to make yourself look tough, at least make some valid points and use logic to shut someone else down. Then I'd actually read more than three ignorant words to see if you have something more specific and critical to say.

    What's E-peen?
    If you can't read the posts in this section of the forums with a little tongue in cheek and a tough skin then it's probably not the best place on the boards for you. Not that I'm Vex's biggest fan. I think we hate each other, though I don't know when that happened or why. But it's magical and special all the same.

    Not trying to be cold, but I think it's like all things that change: some people adapt, some people don't. If you like the game enough to adapt, then I think you might find some fun, but the old way of PVPing is gone.
    The adaption that ended up being necessary was ludicrous. While we got several of the small things we'd been asking about, it came at the expense of gutting the entire system as it was.

    I don't agree. 100% hami'd toons got wrecked just fine back in the day. The build helps. The slotting helps. But everyone faceplants at some point. And the crash-spiked instantly still happens.. only now you can't evade like you used to be able to.

One set of FOtM's has turned into a different set of FotM's - is that bad merely because it isn't YOUR FotM?

    Like in all combat, when the rules of the game change, you have to adapt to the situation. I think there's still fun to be had in PvP, but you may need a different playstyle than the one you originally learned.
    There's logic there. 3 new costumers at the expense of 1 old one is sound business. The problem is that the changes they made were with the goal of bringing new pvp'ers in, which failed miserably. Pretty much the only time we get new pvp'ers is when the long-time-pvpers do a league or event and bring them in themselves. So NC can't claim credit for the majority of the new ones we have.. and effectively drove away the bulk of the long-time-pvpers for nothing.

    Don't get me wrong.. I still love to PvP in this game. I roll new toons, level them, build them, slot them, spend ridiculous amounts of influence slotting them, and walk their happy ***** to the zones or Arena for some good times. Adaption complete.. NC 1 Us 0.. but it doesn't change the fact that they broke the ****.
  11. Sounded like none of the three in that story really knew what they were doing. And you were half fiteklubbing yourself since you 'don't use inspirations on that character'.

    ..and who the hell is Axl?
  12. I like auto-tuned stuff. It makes me laugh.
  13. Check the Champion server threads for this, Fur.
  14. I like it. I speaks to me.
  15. I'll strip on the sidelines to distract your opponents!

    This. Zones used to be ok, but now they're just a load screen full of fail.
  18. I've never had to go through the hassle. People send me money.. I send the IO. Haven't had any problems so far.
  19. SmokeSignal

    Pricing oddity

    It's used in a lot of PvP builds as well.
  20. Had another drop. Level 50, crafted, and on Justice. Send me a PM, an ingame tell at @smokesignal2, or post here with a bid.
  21. Only if you aim for fabric.
