Quote:I PvP'd on Pinnacle for a good long while. Rolled my ice/em there back when they were king. The PvP community is too small to try and separate us because of what server we play on. I do agree that the Arena should allow for cross server match set up or that the zones should be cross server (that would be crazy fun even if it caused a large queue). The thing is that the devs are not likely to do that. If you have a suggestion for them you're better off PM'ing them directly and if you don't want community input it's not a very good idea to post it on the main boards.Originally Posted by Blacier
Guess I wont be posting here either . And this is the reason we really have no love for other server PVP'er on Pinn becasue you guys are all about whats cool and talking trash sorry we PVP to have fun because we enjoy the game and we do it well.
Just seems too much like you're taking your ball and going home because you can't have it your way. And anyone that doesn't have the same mindset as you is a dummy head meany face... -
Thanks for the matches Opus. Gratz on the win.

Lulz. If you think I'm pissed than you don't know me very well.
And I didn't write that.. it's a quote. Google fu it or something if you need some help.
And I didn't say you put words in my mouth. I was clarifying what I wrote previously as it was not worded very well.
Either way.. your straw man filled post lacks any reliable credibility or specific reference and is based of 'those groups' and 'back thens'. Fun bedtime reading, but doesn't help educate anyone. Why don't you use some actual examples or state a fact or two so I can see where you're coming from.
Or we can hug it out. -

Wrong. 3 test teams dont constitute the entire roster of "real" pvpers in this game sorry. Just because you like to play a different way (8v8 emps and psi blasters) doesnt make you better, or more "real". It just makes you a minority in the minority that is PvP.
Ive seen it a few times over the years. People get good practice alot, a few teams developed (justice, champion freedom whatever). Then wham. PVP sucks in this game theres never any arena. Im moving to test maybe we can get more "real" pvpers going there (ie emps and blasters). Eventually they quit or haunt the forums complaining about how bad PvP is in this game (comming back from time to time to talk about how badass they were).
Meanwhile a new group of PvPers starts out in Sirens, RV and some arena. Get to know eachother, face off occasionally against some "real PvPers". Decide to copy them and form a small group of "ELITE REAL TEST PVPERS" (emps and blasters).
2-3 years ago I compared most of the PvP community (of which I consider myself a member) to inbred hillbillies. You only fight "real PvPers" on your own ground with your own rules and mix with your own kind. Eventually you die off because you dont have new blood.
Aww, thanks for playing. I was not implying that the 'current' PvP Test teams embody the 'only' source of PvPers in this game. There have been quite a few over the years and at several times there was quite a number of us on Test. And we PvP'd on live as well. Population low now? Yep, sure is. That doesn't mean it always was.
Emps and blasters? Where are you getting your information? The teams I've been on have had blasters and emps sure, as well as rads, kins, doms, stalkers, as well as brutes and tanks and therms and pains etc. etc. etc.
And if you can't laugh at that, you have no sense of humor sir. -
Quote:First of all... saying that only makes it painfully obvious how little you know about it. Take two people with the same build, the same IO's, and make them fight each other and it's skill that will determine who wins. And these builds are the same builds the Psy blasters on Pinn are using if they're smart. The reason so many roll Psi is because it's better for 8v8. Just the way it is.Originally Posted by Blacier
As well without the hassle of transferring to TEST (<---lol IO DUPING) where anyone with a PSy can be king. it's so cookie cutter on test honestly Im surpised it lasted as long as it did. Most of the real PvPer's wont have anything to do with it.
And, just to be clear, the 'real PvP'ers' are the ones on Test. And they come from Freedom, Pinnacle, Champion, Justice, and elsewhere. They also PvP on Live.. and often times their live builds are the same as their Test builds. -

Quote:Working on it on my Emp/Rad.Originally Posted by macskull
Hm, just realized that Defenders get Corruptor epics if they switch to redside and run a patron arc, so technically you could build an Emp with PB instead of PBU (higher heal/buff mods + same rech time on PB as Controller version). Probably not worth leveling a new character specifically for that, but I'd consider it on my Emp/Dark if I had GR...

Thank God..

There was a list as long as Divine's tear stains and half as long as a Psypunk post with what needed to be done to make PvP in this game the best in the MMO market. They implemented a few things, which was cool. But, overall, what we got was the god awful mess we have now. It has driven away PvP'ers.. not drawn new blood to the pool. The intention was good, if foolish, but didn't work. A wise person goes back and does it differently to achieve the original goals and pulls from the most abundant knowledge base available, which would be the people who have been piggybacking this broken system since it launched.
