Beats me why they dont just apply the incarnate AT seeing as its already done

[ QUOTE ]
If repel works on the Stalker, they won't be able to use AS. If they move or take damage after they launch the attack, the AS is interrupted. So, if they were constantly being repelled away from you, they'd be stuffed and have to resort to a normal attack.

[/ QUOTE ]

You can AS someone with repel on, its AOE effect is too small to prevent it. That said it requires more careful set up and many stalkers will not be aware they can get through it.

Hey smiles, you the man...

I have another event for you and for you police. I dont care you menaces about SG or stupid bases consequences of you pvp lesons... you only spare vanity and gangster brotherhood. See you there big talker and consider this a warning too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Will you be hero, or villain? Just asking so I know which toon to log in to kick your butt.

[/ QUOTE ]

I beleive this truely awesome pvp player will be on as his hero, I assume this as I was told after advising someone who was suggesting a christmas pvp zone amnesty to look in this thread

[ QUOTE ]
Hey obot, you beter stay hideen at that party (like you normally do) because if i see you you will die for sure (like normaly happened at pvp)

Oh! and your runners friends too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Apparantly this uber player will kill me if Im unhidden (even though from what I can tell in his garbled post, I die for sure anyway) And from more of his garbled posts hes apparantly in the PVP zones all the time killing us, strange really as I know virtually all that I play against.

Hey Macintosh, whats the name of your terrifying character so we can all run away LOL

[ QUOTE ]
Any AT that can pull out a continues AoE around themselves is practically immuse to stalkers, although Dominators dont get fooled twice.

[/ QUOTE ]

There are ways around everything and only a poor stalker is reliant on AS

PLEASE! Punctuation!

[/ QUOTE ]

PLEASE! Be polite. You started the thread with comments about probably getting flamed. Making comments like that will make sure you do.

[/ QUOTE ]

lol, yeah I its a bit much when people start going on about grammar on a game board

Ice/fire and devices blasters are a cool and effective anti stalker setup, come to defiant, Sirens call is usually fun when filled with the regulars.

[ QUOTE ]
If stalkers were not here everyone would be on the "nerf controllers" bandwagon, it seems a lot of people just dont like getting beat

[/ QUOTE ]
I SO like it when people don't read stuff before they comment on it... I have no problem with being killed in PvP. it's the fact that stalkers need no skill whatsoever to stand out in PvP, that gets me.

[ QUOTE ]
to be honest i havent checke but there is one other type on the heros side that is completly undetectable untill it attacks just like stalkers and it can unload a small army of pets of you butt as it dose its an illusion controler and i found the controler can be a hell offalot more devastating than a stalker as i played both and been attacked by both found i can counter a stalker rather nicely if i time it right but when a controler unloads his phantom army on my thats it im dead
now all the pets from the villains side can be killed phantom army cant and if used right can do alot more damage than a MM in the same time so why arent the villains complaining that this is unbalanced in the same way the heros are complaining just because one AT can whoop there [censored]

Uh, I was agreeing with you and my comments were not aimed at anyone in particular. I SO like it when people dont read things in the correct context.

...that said I will do all I can to ensure I do not cause the player debt, I have `saved` many players from debt by ASing them before the NPCs kill them

[/ QUOTE ]

You sir, are a saint among men. May small children sing songs praising you

[ QUOTE ]
I dont mind 1 on 1's, it's the language and abuse i mind.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah its pointless and has no place there at all (unless I get debt then its Fing npcs )

Perhaps i'm missing something here, but there is no fear pool as far as i'm aware, although i did see someone else mention the same thing recently

[/ QUOTE ]

Hehe how u think my stormie keeps spamming fear on some stalkers that try tp away *looks at obot* FEAR FTW!!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

How often do I get close enough for u to hit me with it oh and I dont have TP either Impale FTW

[ QUOTE ]
Does reputation do anything yet? I guess dying could lose you reputation and that could be spread evenly across the team if a team member dies to stop squishies losing all their reputation because they are more obvious targets.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the term "squishies" need's to be looked at. Sure doing missions and stuff the defender controller and blaster could be called squishies. But once you eneter PvP I would say a good controller or blaster are for from squishie. I would even go as for to say they are the best 1v1 anyway. So i dont think they should get any extra rep points etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think squishies is a term used for describing those with a low def and hit points combo. If the right thing hits them they are uber squishy, my stalker doesnt die much but he is super squishy if someone catches him

Debt absolutly kills the PVP zones and the lvls they have in there (full outdoor debt) is farcical. I would be happy to see them remove the debt and the xp from the whole zone with the exception of the missions and then perhaps we would see more of an influx of people enjoying them.

I know I sometimes get 5 rep as bounty, but honestly I'm not quite sure why (doesn't happen often).

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought this was due to the fact that the person I have just killed has been a pain. If you haven't been killed for awhile you get a bigger bounty. Whilst those that have been killed almost every 30 seconds (my corruptor comes into this bracket) gives away little or nothing. Its the reason why I don't mind charging (surprise attacks) on big teams. I know if I finish off that person I get a big bounty whilst my innevitable death leaves them with almost nothing.

[/ QUOTE ]

As far as I know you get a 5pt pvp bonus for those who have reached 400 pvp points (the maximum) at least that is the only correlation I have found

[ QUOTE ]
I dunno, these Jet Packs have caught me MANY Aerial Assassin Strikes for the kill... Yes >=)

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah I hate those jet packs, I got fly and SS for a reason and now all the airbourne people are more jittery. Will be glad after Jan 2nd when the air will be full of oblivious people and be mine once more

I love spines so much in sirens it should be illegal impales -fly and immob is a joy and Pixie should exploit this more by going for Doms and Corruptors then battering them once immobbed. I hate spines with a passion whenever someone else has them on scrappers they are really annoying to me and do knock off my normal game which is a good thing for you.

That said fear is about the only thing that can hold me without a mimimum of being triple stacked on me so is very useful to ahve against stalkers. Be-els Dark regen was a pain in the [censored] and wish he came back to the dark side last night

I do kill pretty much all I come across that said I will do all I can to ensure I do not cause the player debt, I have `saved` many players from debt by ASing them before the NPCs kill them. That said accidents do and will continue to happen.

You lose nothing by dying, but my personal bugbear is getting killed on AFK while i try to explain the zone to new visitors

[ QUOTE ]
Assassin Strikes, never had that happen to me before...Ok that was a bit of sarcasm for ya right there

Botty you just want an easy target

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope hate easy targets and after I killed someone a few times I cant bring myself to do it again unless they killing a team member. I like it when people are a pain like you are becoming

I thought they already had that in place as my 400 pvp points vanished one day

[ QUOTE ]
Someone came up with the idea before that when struck by a player-villain/hero, you should be protected from debt for a short period. I cant count the number of times I had just finished a fight with a group of NPC's, only to get AS'd by a stalker, but got debt anyway. Why? Because I was suffering a -1 of damage, every 3 seconds, due to the residual damage of a 'psychic scream'. Y'know, DoT like when you're on fire, the psychic Arachnos units give you it.

If a stalker is kind enough not to jump straight in for the easy kill, and does the honorable thing of waiting until the NPC fight is over, they shouldnt have the guilt of dropping me into debt, and I shouldnt have the full outdoor-grade debt someone gets when they're clumsy. For petes sake, they should at least make it the half-rate debt you get when you're indoors. Even if they had to cut the experience down a little.

There should also be some kind of calculation, that works out how much damage was done between an NPC and a player-enemy. It would be FAR more reasonable, to give the player debt based on how much damage the NPC did. If the NPC only did 15% of the damage that KO'ed you, then perhaps you should only recieve 15% of the normal debt?

[/ QUOTE ]

It was me saying it and have done for a long time

and why arent u in sirens anymore

Got a bit heavy last night sadly and wasnt the normall easy going fun time, think the constant mapserver crashes wiping the bounty was frustrating everyone and I was personally very miffed about being unable to leave Sirens to use my respec.

Hope to see u in there tonight man

It is fun but its a pain in the proverbial to accrue debt in this way. I hate it with a passion when i hit somoene and they have a sliver of life left and a npc hits them, makes me feel like crap for being involved in somoen getting debt. There should be a debt protection for a time following hero/villain battle interaction along the lines of debt protections following being rezed. Its not a hard thing to apply in the code at all. That or at least reduce the debt to inside mission levels.

I managed to AS a stone tank in Sirens tonight with mud pots running fairly easily, I dont think this is a good change at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats cos they broke mudpots in yesterdays patch. They now do nothing except taunt, no slow, no damage ticks, therefore no AS interrupt Hopefully it wont take them long to fix it or at least to revert them back to pre-patch till they can.
Anyone know if they broke Hotfeet also while trying to patch it?

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought it was broken for Brutes and not for tanks, least thats what the patch bugs lists said initially
