Posts in forums are meant to be read. But essentially what you're doing is calling the vast majority of CoH PvP'ers "weak cowards". Simply because of your own personal agenda. Please realize this.

We're not getting upset, because your claim is just as absurd as mine about blue powers being bad. We're just trying to let you understand that your own personal agenda is your own personal agenda...it in no way affects us. We use powers the way they're intended to be used...the way they were designed to be used by the designers of the game. Not the way that Sentry4 personally feels they should be used.

Wow, really? That's what you got from all of mac's posts?

As far as hibernate, my whole point was that hibernate is not even the issue here. It's suppression. Make eluding possible, and hibernate will stop being an issue altogether, because good players will have other ways of evading death (called skill).

Right before I13 came out, I made a public prediction on these forums that phase would become 100% mandatory for all toons. And I was right. It was a pretty simple prediction to make too, based on the added suppression. Before the change, phase was not even an issue. It was only really used in the high end arena PvP. Very few people had it in zones. Why? Because it wasn't 100% required to survive. People had a choice about what to get. Now it is a requirement. Every single squishy must have either phase, hiber, or preferably both. It's either that, or die every 30 seconds, any time you're outnumbered.

In addition to the previous comments, the best is when you're in a fight with a baddo, you phase....and he stops to type some trash talk about how phase is lame....you unphase and kill him as he's typing his trash talk. I've done that myself, and seen others do it, and it makes me laugh every time.

Nothing in this game is rocket science. But evasion is one of the biggest skills a player had. You could easily tell a good player from a bad one, by watching how they evaded a spike...or died from it. Now all the skill has been taken away. You either phase/hibernate, or you simply die. There is zero alternative.

Even you can probably admit that evading by running away takes more skill than clicking hibernate. Your argument doesn't really make much sense, since you seem against both phase and evasion. And the two are completely related. It's because there's no evasion that we have every single player in PvP with phase. It's because there WAS evasion before that we DIDN'T have every single player with phase before. Pick a side please. You can't be against everything. Unless you really are a pure fight clubber than thinks every fight should happen in a 5 square foot space with no moving.

Like already said, we already had this. It was called CoH PvP. Then the devs decided it was bad, so they took it away from us. Now we have the current joke of a system in its place. And it'll never go back to how it used to be.

It's good that you're thinking about improving PvP. Unfortunately, the devs are NOT, and they also don't care about what you or any of us think.

hahahahahaha!

unless it's done well

Considering every single dom is mind, and considering doms are popular, it's not "just 2 powers". It's like half the attacks thrown your way when you set foot in a zone.

I disagree. I think, and I'd say that most would agree, that the learning curve was made STEEPER by I13. While the game itself is easier to play because it plays at half the speed, new players have to essentially re-learn the entire game to get into PvP. There is zero logic to anything, unlike in PvE. Everything is completely random. If I was a new player, there's no way in hell that I would choose to get into PvP in this game.

I do agree that the worst part if it all is that they just dropped I13 on us, "and left it there to rot". They did promise that it would be "a process", but as every single other thing they ever said, it was obviously just PR bs. And their complete non-action for nearly a year after the fact has proven that without the shadow of a doubt.

The yeti is crucial here, I think.

The buffs are fairly useless, sucking endurance is useless without reliable -recovery powers, and the -damage isn't really that big.

That said, I think if a good kin teamed up with a good therm, some opponents would get very annoyed.

With kin, you also get one extra power pool, since you don't need leaping, necessarily.

I have a /nin and a /regen, and I have to agree with that statement. With nin, you're still subject to bad luck. With WP, a good player will basically not die, ever. Unless he gets careless and stops caring about dying. Regen is also unkillable, but WP has way more offensive capabilities.

Also, epsilon, please describe in detail how you use blinding powder. I've never really used it personally. Mainly cuz I play my /nin mostly in sirens. But I tried it at some point after I13, and when I used it, I got suppressed for longer than my target was mezzed, so I couldnt even get in range to attack lol. Do you use it from melee range or something?

I don't remember man. It was 2 words. The first was "Divine". And the second something...can't remember

I'll try to remember if I see him again. It sounds like it's someone that doesn't read the forums. Otherwise he would have probably posted here by now.

Steve Nash is a PB. Most likely the oldest one in CoH PvP.
