Ganking - one way of putting a death you had no control over. Or sticking around till all the enemies jump on you.

There are less guides around for villains and players have had less time with them then heroes. Has anyone tried putting together a team of ultimate villains for PvP?

Sunday is fine by me. Earlier the better though. I'll be on tonight after 6. Send a tell to @enervator if anyone has a question.

I'd better set a time and date to do these trials. How does 7pm on Saturday sound to everyone for the Sewer Trial?

Yeah, I was kinda hoping the you'd be able to fight in the actual cage, so others could watch, rather than being taken to a copy of the cage

would be easy to do as well seeing as there is pvp flagging code that is location specific in warburg at the bases.

Not for heroes vs villains though. I think there would need to be some fairly major game code changes.

I was trying to get in touch with someone that wanted to do the sewer trial, but no response from them after 4 days. I sent them a global and a PM. Can do the sewer trial tonight if people are available.

The game can't do PvP areas in none hero vs villain areas. There is a new cage map in the Arena. You just have to bet before the match starts and not during. I'd rather bet on the monkeys though.

Who needs stealth or hide when you can be behind a wall? So long as you don't give them a chance to hit you, thats some major damage being dealt. The rest of your team moving into position but not engaging will also make people look in the direction your not in.

Good stalkers approach from behind. Move into position extremely fast, AS and use their fastest attack in follow up. Then run, whether their opponent is dead or not. If the opponent isn't dead, a team mate should take them out instantly.

Fighting near bases is always going to give an advantage to the side whose base it is. Along with drones, perception buffs and a safe zone to retreat into quickly. That side can get back into the fight alot faster than the opposing side. Never fight at the enemies base especially when out numbered.

There are times on my sonic defender where I can't stand still for more than 2 seconds in SC because if I do i'll get ASed. It takes enough time to apply Clarity twice for a stalker to get in and hit me. All it takes is for a corrupter to use scourge. CM or Clarity do not need to be nerfed. Also most buffs don't last very long and trying to keep a team of 8 buffed is all a defender might do. If he dies you can guarantee that 10 seconds later someone won't be buffed. For the whole team to be buffed it has to operate in a very small area, so the defender or troller can reapply quickly.

Good luck all that enter.

Its not a competition, just abit of friendly PvP to test out Pocket Ds Arena terminals.
Just turn up and join a team.
Its at level 30 because that seems the most popular level to PvP at.

Only level 30 at the moment. I might plan a level 50 event at a later date.

Heroes and Villains are invited to come along this Friday at 8pm to Pocket D. To take part in level 30 mixed team matches at the new arena terminals. Everyone is welcome.

Anyone interested in doing the Sewer and Eden trials with my Trick Arrow defender some time in the next week?

I have a level 40 TA/Archery Defender, and on a team of 8. I barely have time to lay down disruption arrow and ice any stragglers, before they are all dead.
Oil slick + Blazing Arrow = more dead villains.
I was sk up to level 48 against 51/52s.

I can't complain about the set.


I also have a level 50 Kinetic/Electric and a level 50 Sonic/Sonic. Each one is useful, maybe more so on different teams.

I might be able to gather a team of 8 Art of War. Can't say for definate atm. I'll talk to who ever is online tonight and get back to you.

The only powerlevelling i ever do is where everyone is contributing and there isn't anyone afk. This might be considered power gaming though. Not many people can say no to good xp.

I'd join but it sounds like you have enough brutes lol. I've got a few other villains but they aren't even lvl 25 yet. Send a tell to @Enervator if you need an experienced energy brute.

I'll join any large monster hunts going.

Sounds good, i wish you all the best in your endeavour.

So long as I have a team, I'd be a Defender. Solo, I'd be a scrapper.

I can understand people that have completed the game with various 50's Powerlevelling but not new players.

They simple want access to the Kheldians - come up with a different formula to get access to them and this powerlevelling argument would largely be solved.

Theres loads of different reasons to Powerlevel.

I think Cryptic have done enough with limiting the amount of XP you can gain from being SK'd. I think you get xp +/-5 levels of the team average and then you don't get more than the 3 lvls lower than the minions afaik. Also putting a timer on Dreck and introducing ED cuts things down alot too.

If today 'vast' amounts of xp can be considered Powerlevelling, what was pre I6 considered? lol

People complain about lack of content, but they did just skip most of it by Powerlevelling. I can understand people that have completed the game with various 50's Powerlevelling but not new players.

The team I did it with had 2 kinetics and 3 controllers (one of them a grav). We didn't have a problem during the first attempt till he started one shotting people and once one went down we weren't doing enough damage.

2 Rads sorted him out though.
