Less of this.Quote:as well as some really solid ones.
I tend to find it amusing how similar Virtue and Freedom RV and SC are. No matter which Server, Villains are base sitting heroes 95% (98?) of the time. -

The login issues have long been fixed. If your pc can handle it you will have no problems playing there.
Personally I feel cross-server instanced PvP would make much more sense than "server mergers" which send all kinds of bad signals to consumers. -
Quote:My mistake then. Thanks for picking up on that Barrier or whom ever did.Originally Posted by macskull
Now I know it's convenient to pretend the animation guys are the only ones still working on this game, and it's a good excuse for why non-animation-related bugs seem to take a loooooong time to fix, but it's foolish to believe that's true.
I didn't, I think Barrier was the one to bring it up in a thread I started, and I noticed it the next day along with a bunch of other players.
I noticed the heal in Radiation Emission was rooting in PvP zones but not in PvE as well. however not being a PvPer, I kind of looked past it. -
Quote:Good. I'm glad you aren't attempting to start a PvE VS PvPer thread. Cause, you'd lose; horribly.Originally Posted by __Divine__
I was not really trying to start a PVE VS PVPER thing.
Those that PvP are in the minority. A minority that's most likely trumped by the minority of RPers, Farmers (Although we are an influential minority as shown by the devs decision to repeal the heavy nerf) and I bet even trumped by the minority of furries in game.
We can't keep waving a red flag each time a change in game isn't a change for PvP. Our arms would fall off.
Although, I still feel the rooting fix IS a fix in PvPs favor. Macskull brought up the problem and we got a fix. Was it fixed in response to PvPers outcry? I'm not going to speculate. -

i cant count how many times UJL (prei13) and RPVP (posti13) camped with 6 stalker teams. omg nerf coordination.
Coordinated spikes would have been nice. Protecting the only two visible ATs that are buffing and debuffing would be superb. Unfortunately, that's not what happens. For the most part people still PvP as if they aren't on a team even when they are. An AT like stalkers facilitates this type of playstyle.
Anyway, i'm venting. Wrong post to do it in. :P

Wasn't Yoclant on Virtue? Ice Tanker wasn't he?
Remember him being quite annoying to people.
Zone PvP has degenerate to cookie cutter blasters and Regens on heroside and Virtually all Stalkers on Villainside.
I'm beginning to dislike stalkers. it's a safety AT and a rather selfish one as they don't really contribute much if anything to a team. Last night it was 2 corrs and 6 stalkers on a team and every stalker expected the corrs to buff, debuff, heal; pretty much carry the entire team. -

They slowed the game down, so why even bother suggesting they speed it back up? Is that the argument? If so, why continue to go on and on about the suppression changes that you think would improve the game? I'd say the devs are far more unlikely to reverse the suppression changes than make a change to a single power like hibernate.
I like to think of Hibernates proliferation across ATs as an unconscious apology from the Devs: "We're sorry we took away your movement in PvP and in effect your capability to skillfully avoid a final death. We ****** up. So, in order to try and correct our mistake, we're going to give everyone hibernate. It may take less skill, but it'll help you survive!"
You can dislike hibernate, Terps. I dislike it. However, your dislike of a power doesn't make it "broken" or in need of a nerf, it simply doesn't need one.
With that said... I want hoarfrost on my ******* doms NAO. Who's bright ******' idea was it to give Blasters ontop of their Insane PvP resistance, hoarfrost? Genius..pure ******' genius... -
Quote:Pretty much this. In Zone Hibernate'll kill ya, it's a death sentence. Dueling, it's a chance for you to pop those needed insp and position yourself where you might have the advantage.Originally Posted by SmegHead
I wouldn't even say that. While someones is using hiber to recover in a 1vs1, I'm on the other side of the map using rest if my hp/end is low. I just make sure I keep them targeted so I can tell if they move.
Even Sentry knows that. -
Quote:With the exception of therm being your secondary; that looks about right.Originally Posted by __Divine__
IMO this is how the blast go for corrupters. (best to worst)
1.)Fire Blast - Great DPS mainly due to flares, although strangely they did something to make fire blast animation making it longer or maybe it's the root...i can't put my finger on it. Stil top tier when it comes to corrupters.
2.)Rad Blast - Good DPS becasue of Neutrino bolt and the -defense is really good against defense based toons. Cosmic Burst is also a mez as well as very good dmg.
3.)Electic Blast - Secondary effect is what makes this shine. The -End is awesome, especially paired with /Thermal. Only 2 main attacks so there is always going to be that "hole" in the attack chain.
4.)Sonic Blast - I'm not a big fan of sonic on corrupters. I've have it on several of my toons. The -res is good but the root times are killer, especially on shout.
5.)Dark Blast - It's lack of aim is what makes it this low on the list. The -tohit is really nice especiall if you pick up Poowerboost. It does decent dmg, and has a self heal. (life drain) that helps toons without a self heal..mainly /colds. Great paired with /storm and /cold. (Snacks loves this set lol)
6.) Energy Blast - I dont see to many people with this set. I personally dont have any experience with it on corrupters. I do wonder how this thing cant do good dmg. You can put 3 dmg procs in at least one of the blast, and 2 in the others. I would think it would do really well in an experienced players hands. But i do not know for sure.
7.) Achery - From what i seen the dmg is pretty bad. Only thing that really makes this set is the stun. (7 seconds). The bonus inherent acc is nice though.
8.) Ice Blast - Slows were gutted and the dmg on this set is so bad, even procs cant help it. Also to mention ice blast does more dmg then bitter ice blast which makes no freaking sense....
9.) Assault rifle - lolz. Bad dmg, no seconary effect to mention, long animation times. Did i forget anything??? -
Quote:I went fire on mine as it seems to compliment the secondary with its damage output and went scorp with patron in order to keep enemies grounded and therefore on the defensive.Originally Posted by Laserblitz_Emcc
Thanks for the advice
I will go with fire/pain
just sounds evil doesn't it
I will have to give up my hero ways to make one though
have to work on my bwahehehehe,
no thats not right
bwahohoh
d'oh this is gonna take some time
Any Build advice? pools? epic?
Survival with a therm to back me up is rarely an issue as I run with temp phase and my regeneration is fantastic, so I didn't feel hibernate was needed. -
Best zone players I've met on Virtue have been Icerize and Yallander.
Can't speak for Any other Server or test because I don't PvP. -

As for hibernate, as a PvEr and avid zone farmer I know the Devs are listening to me and I appreciate that they are. With that said:
There is nothing wrong with hibernate, it works just fine. -
Quote:Eh, fair fights are overrated. I have more fun in zone when my side is outnumbered or when i'm faced with someone more "skilled" then I am then I ever do when fights are "fair."Originally Posted by Supermax
Nothing annoys me like TA.
Well, purpled out toons kinda annoy me too, since like 80% of success is based on build now, with only 20% being skill (compared to pre-I13, when it was the exact opposite). Since I just play with SO's, when I run into someone that's spent 10 billion on his build, the fight isn't very fair.
Haven't the changes to PvP diminished the benefits of set bonuses since i13? Thought one of the points of the Devs changes was to even the playing field between those with set bonuses and those without, making things "fair" or the Devs definition of what fair is. -
Quote:I'm replying to your post. Not his.Originally Posted by Donna_
I personally think you have opened your mouth and let your belly rumble...
The OP didnt ask "When you're in a pvp zone, or in the arena, which builds are annoying to your team?"
skill isn't a tactic. Teaming is the best tactic of the skillful.Quote:Surely if I win a fight against an elec/therm (based on your statements above) there is no other name for the tactic used other than "skill".
Sure, I won't disagree that there are "tactics" you can use to take down a therm by yourself. Drop unneeded toggles, bring blues, take web grenade temp, Geas.
I'd call taking on a therm by yourself sheer stubornness more than I would skill.
Anywho, most annoying AT recently has been a Grav/TA with fly and TP foe. I really like his tactic, TPfoes+Wormhole+Glue Arrow and he tends to team with some regen scrappers that finish me off if I can't get off Phase in time.
He threw some significant range into his entangling arrow. We can't seem to get high enough to web him before he entangles us. -
Quote:You're free to think that taking on a therm by yourself as a Melee AT takes skill. I personally feel skill means you have the competence to team and cooperate when needed.Originally Posted by Donna_
Yeah cause being a taunt bot and allowing a blaster to kill the opponent is loads more skillful than doing it yourself... well done you.
-
Quote:Look, if the player is a decent therm he/she will stay out of range of melee and continue to attack while sapping and debuffing your endurance. You're at a disadvantage already being a melee toon against Ranged. you might as well team with another ranged toon and play a taunt bot under heat Exhaustion while the ranged AT (Blaster most likely) puts the beating on the therm.Originally Posted by Donna_
Stop posting stupid statements that you know f-All about, and learn how to spell.
P.S - I didn't mention anywhere that this was a duel I was talking about.
I'm tired of this dueling mentality people seem to have as if teaming takes less skill. -
A gang banger.

Quote:That's funny, My last experience on my Necro/Poison MM was against an ill/storm troller. I have to say I would ahve much rather have had the ranged damage than the lich's holds. I won 2v1 but it was a tight match all the way through.Originally Posted by __Divine__
I play my MM like a dark corrupter lol....the only storm i think i've lost too was musey ill/storm and it was a long time ago....PB Envenom+Weaken+Gloom+Dark blast+life drain+scorpian shield= hawtness. Not to mention storms don't do that much dmg to start off with, and after those debuffs there dmg is really lolz.
I don't bother with -tohit anymore as it just doesn't seem to punch through accuracy and tohit like it used to. I've been slotting for -recharge in any power that might deliver the proc. Paralytic, Neurotic, Weaken, Lich and webnade. -
Quote:Stop fiteklubbing.Originally Posted by Donna_
Most annoying toons at the moment....
Electric / Thermal Corruptor by far. Mainly due to the OP'ness of Heat Exhaustion, I have a very expensive Willpower/SuperStrength tank with massive recovery from sets, conserve power, Geas of the Kind one accolade, Stamina, Quick Recovery, Physical perfection, Miracle+ recovery proc and the numina +regen/recovery proc.
Now 1 hit from Heat exaustion starts the timer, if I don't kill that corr in about 45 - 60 seconds I am instantly helpless with no way or recovering. Most corrs will just hiber through geas and as Heat exaustion is easily perma'able what are you supposed to do !!! -
Quote:Jack, that's a loaded question. Depends what you are VSing. If it's against another MM I like TA. Ya, it's considered the worst Secondary by most PvPers but it works very well. Web+Glue+Oil+EMP+Gangwar= dead MM.Originally Posted by yojack
Which is the Best Pets for "MM" in PvP?

I know no one really goes on the forums any more due to the dead pvp but i just wanted to ask everyone if they had a pvping toon on freedom? if not plz switch your best pvping toon over...we won't as many as possible..also does anyone here think that it would be a good idea to kinda merge most of the pvpers into one big supergroup atm i have very many in mine....just so everyone knows whos on and you really CAN plan a 8v8...
Reply back plz!
In other words Cross-server instances. -
Quote:You play for rep? :POriginally Posted by DimMak
You actually think people think you're a coward? They just talk sh*t cause they can't kill you and they get frustrated; who cares? If you're dueling straight up or fight clubbin and run then maybe. Like I said play to win, I don't understand why people have this idea that you can't use the tools given to you neccassy to be successful. Im guessing your a tank or a brute? Whatever I look forward to killing you cause you dont move or use inspirations.
It's great that a ton of people think that there toon is the shiz and dont need to use travel or insp. Just increases my rep -
