Funny how Ghost Raptor said that there will be NCsoft held PvP recently.

In my opinion the only reason why Melee ATs aren't suited to some PvP is because of the style of play. Ranged attacks are far easier to hit with as you don't have to get close. PvP is very fast moving so obviously if your picking teams you want the fastest, hardest hitting and in the case of defenders best buffs. I don't see how adding team buffs will help this. If you want to play melee get a Trick Arrow defender or bring your own web grenades to stop or slow down the enemy.

Find some like minded people, see if you can form a team with your existing characters. Then decide if anyone needs to make a new toon to fill a gap. You can farm as a team, spend some time in PvP zones, learning what works and what doesn't (you've had previous PvP experience so you know the basics). Adjust builds and IOs, if anyone manages to fully slot a character they can start a new one. Taking a break every so often to PvP with their existing level 50.

You get out what you put in, its not an instant thing or everyone would be doing it. Obviously.

Myself would love to be in a sg that is only pvp, but that aint easy these days it seems....

Yes, everyone is so busy wishing that there was another PvP only SG that they are too busy to notice one another and form one. Theres like 16+ people at PvP on a Sunday and Monday night. No more than 6 are members of Vindicate. Lmao.

I will see if I can assemble something. We're still short a couple of essential toons and i dont think anyone has many IOs... Still kick your [censored] though, naturally.

Maybe monday if people are available.

Sounds good

I prefer people giving things a try rather than just thinking why bother.

Why bother being any of these, if the other team are?

<ul type="square"> [*]They are organised [*]They have well planned toons [*]They are good at playing [/list]
To win.

Find a group of players that PvP, keep an eye on these forums for organised stuff. Or go to zones and try your luck. Put the Arena channel on aswell.

Random team battles on Sunday and Monday Nights in Pocket D on Union at 8pm.

I don't farm and i've managed to fully IO one of my characters. I still PvP with the ones missing two or three though.

Its not really all that much fun fighting an all vindicate team. Now if you guys were to spread out amongst two teams I would be happy to join you in the arena. I might get a chance to learn a thing or two before my face get mushed to the floor that way.

This already happens on a Sunday and Monday night. Why add another night?

Your welcome to take on the EVIL base in a raid . 6 heroes vs 16 villains sounds fair to me.

Fine by me

Yeah was good fun, can't decide if I like my Grav/Sonic in PvP or not. Definatly good as a 'fun' toon but rubbish at keeping buffs up lol.

I read it, should I be worried?

I have a grav/sonic called Captain Incarcerate mainly for dimension shift and sonic cage. I find it abit cheap and people moan alot if I cage them too much.

I can make it, I have 2 new toons i want to try out. Are level 40s allowed to fight against 50s?

I don't think it will work after it gets ripped up, hurtled and then lands on you.

I'd rather have it in the arena on test so there are no hospitals or running into a base. Its faster and people can watch if they want. Plus you get the score at the end so you can see if you beat the good players or not.

I've only seen Gatling and Knight Stalker not accept the challenge so far. Funny how they actually won a PvP competition hosted by NcSOFT when there were no IOs.

If it was just pre invention style builds people would have Hami-Os. I wouldn't mind having SO matches but it would have to be pentad team matches on test. Insp allowed. I'm betting the good players would win. Having a FFA favours tanks and scrappers. No insp favours controllers. Doesn't matter if they are good players or not. As there is no skill involved.

Having no insp is so new players can get wtfbbqpwnd by non uber builds.

The recent changes to defiance should make Blasters more playable in this sort of thing.

I love Gatling and Knight Stalker's forum titles. NCSOFT should organise another S4.

Oh don't get me wrong, i'm turning up. Just not on anything that has no resistance or mez protection. Eg my Tank or Brute. I know how to get cheap kills and i'm good at timing the last hit so i get the point. I think your view of PvP is severely messed up though as all the good PvPers i know built their toons from the ground up and pioneered a few things. EU PvP is slightly different to US in the AT, build and power set areas. Also the US play completly different in terms of team setup. 2 issues is a long time.

You'll get proved wrong even if i'm not there. I've done this sort of thing before and i know there is no skill in beating people that are helpless due to being stunned, held, confused, end drained, slowed, debuffed, outnumbered, immobilised or even teleported.

I think its sort of Thundorn's Perception. The good PvPers have always used insp and god mode powers. They have had no problem beating other players that use them. Same with IOs. Defenders and Controllers are the most likely to get walked over in a FFA as they have the lowest health and no defence or resistance, everyone goes for them and its less about skill and more luck as to who gets the last hit. If it was a dual tournament they would have a chance.
