Trouble with that is, everyone switches lol.

Ghost Widow's Hold is meant to be completely irresistible by design.

[/ QUOTE ]

So an AV is meant to be able to one shot kill any member of the team... and we are still meant to be able to get the MoSTF badge... ... not seeing the logic....

[/ QUOTE ]

I see it. It would be too easy if an AV couldn't one shot any member.

I can make it

I should hopefully be around

[/ QUOTE ]

Me too.

I can't remember what its like to be new, as I just seemed to be good at the beginning and got better. After you get over the initial fact that you can be beaten, its not so much of a shock the 10th time and then you get better and get beaten less. PvP is not even forced upon new players either. There are guides on the forums as previously mentioned and they could just ask about it on the Arena channel. Its not like it was for players when PvP first came out, or when zones were introduced.

[ QUOTE ]
That's kind of the way PvP is to new players

[/ QUOTE ]

How would you know? You've never been a new player

Irritating

The devs also failed to add animated hair from the start - this is proof enough that they don't always do the right thing

[/ QUOTE ]

The dev's do the right thing, they have refused to add animated hair and not let it get in the way of PvP.

They also added Bloody Bay, which is a beginner PvP zone. So that its won't come as such a shock when the new guy gets ganked in Siren's Call. As they will already have been ganked in Bloody Bay. Unless they were the ones doing the ganking, where by they have got the hang of PvP.

A 20 second countdown is no real preparation for the horror of a PvP zone

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats your opinion and obviously not one shared by myself or the developers.

Or have someone explain how the zone works to them, rather than ganking them on sight

[/ QUOTE ]

But that IS explaining how the zone works

[/ QUOTE ]

In an unhelpful way

[/ QUOTE ]

PvP zones are where you do the practicals after you read about the PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]

Reading ain't the same as doing - a gentle introduction is better than a ganking

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats why they put the warning signs up.

Bloody Bay/Level 25 Arena = Beginner
Siren's Call/Level 30 Arena = Intermediate
Warburg/Level 38 Arena = Advanced
Recluses Victory/Level 50 = Masters

Do you think we may be able to study PvP at college in a few years?

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought you already could, there are courses in video games and a few computer courses study the history of games.

[/ QUOTE ]

I mean one dedicated to PvP only

[/ QUOTE ]

To put GG on topic - Some people that enter RV probably need to do a course in PvP to be able to understand whats going on.

The main areas of science are the ones everyone studies in school. There are loads of specialised areas however. Science is latin for knowledge afaik.

Feel free to contribute something useful to the discussion.

PvP should be a science.

[/ QUOTE ]

What a stupid statement. Show me something that isn't science and I'll show you something that doesn't exist.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, back to this. It's not a stupid statement, as it can be studied and knowledge gained. People carry out experiments in game and draw up conclusions in the guide section of these boards. Which makes what Sweet Chilli said sound kinda silly.

Get a room pls!

[/ QUOTE ]

Getting a room should be a science

[/ QUOTE ]

If it can be studied then its a science. So can people stop asking for things to be a science and just study it. Then it will be a science.

Go look at the guides section where they have all the numbers.

Nope - you've taken the word science in a very narrow context. A common mistake.

[/ QUOTE ]
Really? I've taken my definition on the basis of personal experience, and every dictionary/encyclopaedia entry I've ever seen.

What's your definition, and what supporting references are available?

[/ QUOTE ]

Your personal experience? I didn't realise that a scientist was defined as someone who sits around all day with their thumb up their bottom.

Every dictionary/encyclopaedia entry that you have read eh? Now lets see. That would be none then. I'll tell you this. You have never, ever opened a dictionary/encyclopaedia and looked up the word science. NEVER. And if you say you have then you are a liar. I KNOW YOU!

Now you ask me my definition? Let me ask you this. Does God know geomitry or can he do quadratic equations?

[/ QUOTE ]

I like this definition:

[ QUOTE ]
knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through the scientific method and concerned with the physical world and its phenomena

[/ QUOTE ]

Dictionary

So this would mean anything can have science applied to study it. Natural and Social being the two main groups, Maths being a possible third. Anything not in those groups is not a science. Therefore Religion is not a science. (Hey look Chilli theres that thing you asked for). Standoff is quite right in what he says, but then so is Chilli. Your just arguing from the same side of the table about the philosophy of science, seeking to understand the nature and justification of scientific knowledge and its ethical implications.

Why?

Some do what?

Facts:

Not true, you have to adhere to the code of conduct and EULA.

[/ QUOTE ]

Its very true, if I want to Power level I can, if I want to farm I can, if I want to skip loads of content I can, If I want to do everything I can.

What are you getting confused with?

Not playing? Going out of your way to be abusive? Hacking the game? Selling stuff as an illegal business? I don't see that as playing the game

You should investigate the possibility - scientifically

[/ QUOTE ]

No, because I don't care.

Wouldn't know, don't really care. Most of mine are Tech origin.

Who gives a flying what Science is? If you haven't failed to realise, this IS a Super Hero game.. NOT a science

[/ QUOTE ]

What about someone called Captian Science?

[/ QUOTE ]

What about him?

[/ QUOTE ]

Does he have a place in a superhero game?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, theres not just him either, theres loads of Super Heroes with a science origin. Its not just about them though. There are other origins. Magic for instance.
