Zwillinger will be PMing people on their forum accounts with costume codes, I gave him a list of all of the forum names that I could match up with globals on rosters. The globals aren't all 100% accurate, but they should be enough to identify people and match them to their forum names.
Here is the list I have so far, if you aren't on the list and you should be, feel free to let me know and I will add you, or you can just PM Zwillinger yourself. I intentionally left out a few people due to them being almost 100% inactive or being removed from rosters by Captains. I didn't include any that I didn't know their forum name/global matchup. Feel free to correct me if any of these are wrong.
These are in no particular order, I just wrote them down as I found them.
Format is this: forumname - @matching global
Make sure to let your team mates know that if they want the codes, they will need to check their forum PM boxes, and if they aren't on the list to let me or Zwillinger know.

I think that's what he's talking about, something along those lines. -
Quote:You have been spending too much time viewing the PvP boards.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
It would be an either/or for the whole group.
If the consensus is Costume Code, I can do the Rula-Shin costume code.
As to competitive prizing, the goal of offering costume codes is to incentivize participation as opposed to rewarding only the winners. If you guys have prizing you want to award as the organizers of the event, more power. For Paragon's lot, we just want to show our appreciation for those who are participating in PvP.
In before "show us your appreciation by removing HD and TS."
Is incentivize an actual word? I am a fan of compound words that don't exist, my character names are great examples. -
Quote:I would imagine costume codes would be more popular then forum titles, since most people don't even use the forums. I really hope he can tell me what exactly the costume codes would contain, though.Originally Posted by Phillygirl
I would prefer a costume code if I had a choice.
I never did get my Jerc forum title
stupid Ocho leaving before he gave it to me. But I am not a huge fan of the forum titles, plus like I already have one.
If it came down to what Lib said FAP should get something like "Ware gave us 2nd place" :P -
Quote:When I had asked Zwillinger about prizes at the start, he said that they won't offer competitive prizing... IE, prizes based on points or placing. I would be surprised if that has changed, although I think it's a dumb policy for prizes in a PvP league. If the league involves prizes, then everybody who participates will get one, and most likely the same one.Originally Posted by MrLiberty
Suggestion : Everyone gets a forum title. "I got beat in a PvP league." Or whatever someone might want.
Winners get the costume code, as it seems like an actual prize.
I personally think competitive prizing makes far more sense then across the board prizes, but I don't really have a say in that. -
Quote:Good luck with that, now that the league is over. A good portion of participants have basically quit at this point. I am basically just here so I can get the prizes from Zwillinger figured out for the time being, don't intend to play very much.Originally Posted by Hindenburg
at least now we can start kb'ing again! >.>

Quote:I actually regret it at this point, it would have been possible for us to take 2nd even after forfeiting all of our playoff matches, or at least 3rd. Unfortunately, since we did technically disband, can't really do that. I need to learn to exploit the loopholes in my own rules, next time.Originally Posted by Hindenburg
for all the reason's you mentioned Kat, I agree it was (for the most part) inevitable.
but I have a problem disbanding before game day.
In all likelihood 3 people would've shown and then fine..we disband, but if by chance we had 6 show..I would have defintely played a 6v8..
meh, its all my fault for never getting on vent to discuss.
To be fair, there isn't anything in the rules about teams being unable to place if they disband, so I could have easily spun it so that we could still have taken 2nd or 3rd, but that probably would have caused a bit of a shitstorm, more trouble then it's worth, so I caved on that one. -
They will just be harder to kill. It's possible that some creative Stalkers will find ways to make the uninterruptable AS out of hide and Assassin's Focus thing be very effective, but I doubt most Stalkers will be able to do that very effectively. In some ways, that sounds good, because it would give good Stalker players the ability to have a big advantage over bad or average ones, provided those buffs are actually useful in PvP.
-
Also, I want to give a shout out to Zwillinger for going out of his way on some occasions to try and see that he understands what the best interests of PvPers are, I know he has been trying fairly hard to relay our concerns and his concerns regarding PvP to the devs, and of course for participating in an 8v8 league. I would advise that you all be nice and co-operative with him in the future if you really do want things to change.
-
So, it looks like we have to choose between costume codes or forum titles for all league participants. Everybody who is currently apart of any of the rosters should be able to get them. Zwillinger said that we could have one or the other, though I'm not sure if that means everybody across the board gets one or the other, or if each individual can pick.
In any event, if you have thoughts on that, feel free to post them here. As of now, I have no idea what the costume code actually gives as far as costume pieces, and I would imagine the forum titles would be something unique to this league/PvP. I already gave Zwillinger a complete list of all participants from all 7 rosters, minus some people who were inactive for almost 100% of the league or were kicked. -
Congrats guys. I read your match commentary, wasn't what I expected but I enjoyed it. Thanks for playing.

Quote:KM only has a ridiculously high damage:animation ratio because CS can't crit, so they thought the best way to balance that was to make it the equivalent of a 100% chance to crit. There are other melee attacks that have longer or similar animation times that don't do anywhere near the damage of CS, unless they crit.Originally Posted by Hindenburg
well, animation time shouldn't matter if yer playing the role of a KM or a Stalker.
in fact, the longer the better! (assuming the damage scales with the animation).
can't wait to find out what the damage is. Hurry up Mids!.
Titan Weapons attacks without momentum are upwards of 4 seconds long, that's longer then basically any other attack in the game, melee or ranged.
I think it's pretty obvious TW was basically made for people who wanted to make concept toons based around big dumb brutes with oversized weapons. I don't think making it super powerful was their focus, just making it fit that type of concept. Personally, that look doesn't appeal to me, but to each their own I guess. -
WARE wins with flawless record, FAP takes 2nd with an unexpected sweep of Shenanigans in the semi-finals.
Thanks to all who participated, was fun while it lasted. I will be taking a break from this game for a while, hopefully a long while. If anybody wants to contact me out of the game, let me know, I have Steam and stuff, and Skype too but I hate Skype. I will probably pop on the FAP/Exile Mumble occasionally as well.
GGs to everyone, I hope you all had fun. -
Due to undeniable proof brought to my attention by Silit, I am regretfully required to disqualify Shenanigans for all 3 rounds against FAP, due to late lineup subs and an initial late showing. This would put FAP effectively at 2nd place for the final count, since CN forfeit their last 3 matches against FAP by default in the finals for 3rd place. Thank you Silit for bringing this to my attention, and thanks to everyone who participated in the league. Good games everyone!

I would imagine for everything but MAYBE fightclub (not even sure about that) it will be pretty bad. The animations are ridiculously long, and the only way to increase them is with momentum which would probably require a still target, or a really dumb one. It's possible if they scaled the damage super high to deal with that, it could be OK, but I would imagine those long-*** animations will make it pretty terrible.
I suppose you can get a full momentum attack off once every 30-40 seconds with the BU power, but I don't think that really makes up for it. -

I won't be on tonight. Have a movie date with my kids. Sunday if CN is going to be there.

Quote:Yeah that was definitely just because of the Tanker HP cap, nothing more.Originally Posted by AresSupreme
The reason i ask is bc once upon a time i built a wp tank with 3500 + hp and it seemed dr slaughtered n i was only capable of 3500 with buffs. Seems like a good question to me...
The new cap will allow Stalkers to reach just above 2000 hp, assuming they don't raise or lower it before release. This is obviously to mend the whole issue of +HP powers becoming somewhat irrelevant with the base HP boost but not cap boost at the same time. I can see this making a pretty big difference in Stalker survivability, as if they had problems with that anyways. -
So anyways, putting this thread back on topic...
Siren's is a terrible zone for trollers, because trollers rely on epic pool attacks to do any kind of real damage. In RV, they can be fun and effective for casual zone play, but they will never have the kind of damage that a damage oriented AT will have. If you are smart with your holds and debuffs, they can be pretty dangerous and effective, particularly in zone ganks and stuff.
I ran with a fire/rad troller in RV for a little while, I had fun with it and thought it was actually pretty decent for zone. Make sure you take powerboost, because powerboosted troller holds are nasty. I don't think plant/anything is a great option, Plant is not a particularly good PvP set. I would recommend some type of poison or rad. -

I hope this project of yours pays off, looks like you put some decent work into making the site. I went ahead and added the 3 videos I made under the username 'TheKatalyst'. I hope that is the kind of stuff you are looking for. You may want to consider finding a way to make the first page of the CoH videos less cluttered, the initial list type page is sort of hard to navigate.

Also, support toons became very fun and useful with the "bugged" incandescence, again. It's almost (not quite) like I was zoning pre-i13 with a pocket emp on my back. Under i13 mechanics (HD, specifically) healers against any team with half a brain are useless. It's often times more beneficial to just have a debuffer or even another Blaster in place of an Emp or Pain in RV.
It was somewhat broken, no doubt, but this only solidifies my stance on how terrible HD and TS are. If a lot of us have more fun with broken heals that also break HD, imagine how much fun we would have if the heals weren't broken, but HD was? What if breaking HD was intentional? Imagine how much praise you would get from PvPers if it was fixed, devs. -
I can't damage spam a Blaster with a pocket emp anymore, I actually have to go after his emp first now! QQ, this game is hard.

I want everyone to listen to snails by the format and then come back chilled and apologetic to one another in this thread.
Thank you. -
So yeah, since we disbanded I would say we can't really place above teams that haven't, despite the fact that we could have just never disbanded and just forfeit all our matches vs. Shenanigans last weekend and still have taken third place because of the points system. Oh well, my fault for not exploiting the rules of I created :/.
Just wanted to clarify that, so technically, it would look like this:
1st WARE
2nd Shenanigans
3rd FAP
4th Chicken Nuggets
Also, I'm glad Chicken Nuggets was able to take 4th place on that technicality because they are cool people.
