Yeah, a friend of mine had a MA/regen he did well with. Well I don't know much about MA, and you probably already know about regen. But at least as far as power pools, for PvP you would want leaping, speed, and 2 of these 3: fitness, leadership, concealment. On my regens, since I just use SO's, I go with leaping, speed, fitness, and concealment.

MA isn't that great in PvP. Why are you so set on it? It's definitely not the worst, but BS and fire are definitely better.

So I take a break for a while, and it looks like the forums have completely died. Well, I just wanted to thank macskull and Conflict for being the voice of reason around here while I was gone. Some crazy stuff was said by certain people, but mac and con always put people in their place and told stuff how it really is. Thanks guys

I'm back for at least 1 month. The lag that drove me away seems a lot better now.

I'd say the WP/SS tank. It's pretty easy to play for a beginner, since you won't be getting owned in like 2 seconds as a tank. And it can do good damage with a good build.

Hey anti, join the club My 2 accounts run out in less than a week.

For what it's worth, I enjoyed readin your posts. We seemed to agree on a lot of stuff.

For me it's not lag spikes. It's constant, absolutely insane lag. Actually it's more like packet loss. It seems I'm literally not getting like 60% of the packets or something. Hence why absolutely everything on my screen (including NPC's) teleports all around the map.

I'll be following a guy that's 30 feet in front of me, suddenly he's 50 feet behind me, then next to me, then 20 feet above me....and then 100 feet in front of me. Basically I have no clue where anybody is at any time. I've put up with it since the day I15 came out. It started on that exact day...was perfectly fine before. There's no doubt in my mind that there is something they released in I15 that's causing this issue.

But there's zero point to what I know. I know with 100% certainty that if I send a bug report about it, they'll just say what that hamster guy said....that I should get a new comp. So it's easier to just cancel my subscriptions, which I did.

I have a top of the line PC. It's 100% a server issue. Everything runs perfectly fine on other servers. No lag at all. Freedom is completely unplayable.

Freedom's constant, insane lag that started with I15 has driven me to cancel both my accounts. Never in the history of the game has lag been this bad on Freedom, and I've been here since the beginning.

As far as numbers, others covered it. RV was about the same before I13, sirens was several times more active.

I think he believes he's from outer space, so human rules do not apply.

I know a while ago (maybe 2 years) some EU people transferred to Freedom for a while, to get more action. They were one of the best PvP SG's in Europe at the time...maybe the best.

What really stood out about them is that they were convinced that elec/EM blasters were the best blaster for team arena PvP. This was a pure Euro thing, since here everybody was using only ice and fire blasters.

It showed to most people that Europe was really far behind the US in terms of skill/knowledge. Nobody here would even think of using an elec blaster, because it just didn't make sense. They did like HALF the damage of an ice or fire.

They only lasted like a month or two, before moving back to the EU servers. Granted, it was mostly because they couldn't handle the severe time difference, since they had to play at night to see any action. I got to play their leader once, and he was a really cool guy who was definitely a good player. But overall, it seemed that the top US SG's could totally dominate the top EU SG's...at least at that time. There's just no way that a team based around elec blasters could compete with a top US team.

Anyway, that's my history lesson

Well, I'm out. After not being able to log in on Sunday either, both of my accounts have been cancelled. I'm done with this pathetic excuse for a game. Freedom has been completely unplayable due to lag ever since I15 came out, and it's becoming clear that nothing is going to be done about it.

Thanks for everything Jimmay. You're one of the coolest guys in this history of this game.

What's funny is I still couldn't log in on Saturday. Kept getting db disconnect error with Freedom at 2 yellow circles.

Dawun is an arean boy, so I'm pretty sure he's constantly in some Vent actually talking to people. Was teaming with them last night, and it was almost complete silence in the game. They barely even called targets in chat....were just doing it on Vent. So I was kind of out of the loop, since I don't have vent.

Anyway, that's why he doesn't talk much in chat, I think. He's my global friend, and even with me it takes 40 mins sometimes to get a 1 line reply lol.

I hardly see any PB's that can actually kill alone(even though they can survive various situations), but Dawun's an exception.

Their damage is actually very respectable. Anybody that can get kills on a blaster should be able to get kills on a PB. And Dawun's one of the best players in the Freedom zones, so that makes sense

PB's have always been practically unkillable in the hands of a good player. This is nothing new.

The new thing is their blaster-level damage from ridiculous range.

Dawun is there all the time, on one side or the other.

It's been like this for a while. It was also totally predicted by the PvP community long before I13 went live. We guaranteed the devs that the changes would turn the FotM problem into an even bigger problem, not solve it. And here we go.

Funniest thing is that even after all that, they still refuse to listen to us. We flat out told them how their game will turn out, it turned out exactly that way, but apparently we're still not smart enough for them to pay attention.

I know for sure that lots of good doms can manage to kill a bunch of blasters, but thats only if each dom keeps multiple targeting... When a team of blaster keeps on a specific target, it wont take too long to get on the next target... maybe 1.5 seconds...lol

You realize that doms now do pretty close damage to blasters, right? They can spike just as well as blasters, from range. Plus they get mezzes, making the spike 10 times easier.

Guess we need to nerf doms too?

I'd definitely go with phase instead of leadership. Without a getaway power, you will be farmed non-stop, regardless if it's in arena or zones. Probably even more so in arena, since people there are more knowledgeable, and it'll take them a whole 1 minute to figure out that ONE person in the match has no phase/hiber, and that person should be farmed the whole match.

Fair-enough, how's this; I will keep you abreast of any illegal fight-clubbing I hear or see, as long as you lobby for the support of subsidize my agricultural entrepreneurial work.
