    They can't do that until the acknowledge that these game bugs exist. If they acknowledge them then the bugs get put on the team schedule. We win.

    Also consider that a lot gets lost in the shuffle. Those bug reports may no longer be around.

    The only problem would be a lot of people writing in "LOL I13 IS A BUG HAHA NOUB" - if that happens too much then all of the PVP bug reports will be typecast as angry spammers and will be ignored.

    I farm PVPIOs all the time. Those are the numbers I tend to get.

    In any hour you can have 12 rep worthy kills from a single opponent. That means that to have 300 rep worthy kills from a single opponent you need to kill them every five minutes for 25 hours.
  4. As you know Issue #17 is now in open beta on the test server.

    All of the current PVP bugs are still there. I think the Devs might not know about them. (I just noticed that none of the stickied threads here actually mention any of the bugged powers.)

    As you can tell from the latest patch notes; the developers are making PVP changes.

    Please post all of the PVP bugs you know about in this thread.

    The content of these threads are delivered directly to the developers so it is our best chance to get the powers fixed, or an acknowledgement from the development team that these bugs exist. As it stands, we can only assume they don't yet know about broken powers in PVP.

    N.b. It will help if you mention how these bugs affect characters that can use them in conjunction with the following powers:
    -Dual Pistols
    -Demon Summoning
  5. The PVP Community is tiny in COH. There are a few hundred maximum, and they all congregate on Freedom & Virtue. There is zero support from the developers for PVP in this game. (As is evident by all the PVP specific bugs that have been reported but have not been fixed for MONTHS now.)

    I would say that unless you are especially fond of City of Heroes, the PVP here is not worth engaging in.

    If the attitude of the people in charge is that dismissive, have a good time with your channel and leave me the hell out of it.
    "I so totally don't care about that channel. I'm going to make a thread to prove to everyone how I don't care. I'm even going to keep posting in it. That'll show everyone that i'm totes over VU2010...OMFG WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME! WHY DID YOU BREAK UP WITH ME ON FACEBOOK NOW EVERYONE CAN SEE IT! I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS!"

    Arena Emp Build

    Is the -35% from runspeed seriously that big of a deal?

    Is SI worth an extra ~0.5 end/s?

    I don't think so on either account. Would be interested to hear what other ill/emps think.
  10. Words only have the power we give them.

    Whether something is offensive is irrelevant. People vary too much to find a happy medium.

    What matters is whether something is appropriate contextually.

    VU2010 is a publicly accessible channel, so rap jokes are obviously inappropriate. As for the punishment? Well that's up to the operators: it's their channel to operate as they see fit.

    What a very strange thing to debate.

    No jokes about having a heart attack. Two good friends of mine who were young and in good health have died of a sudden massive heart attack. The last one just a month ago.

    I'm sure that there are plenty of people here who can add other restrictions. No jokes about shooting somebody, about mugging somebody, about being attacked by wild animals, about skateboarding accidents, being stabbed with a spoon, being slapped and smacked repeatedly. And if some unthinking brutish pathetic excuse for a human being should joke "This Posi TF is going so badly I wish I could point my AR at my own head." Then they should be instantly banned from every channel for life because there is almost definitely somebody out there who has had a family member commit suicide with a gun.

    Or to put my opinion more bluntly. Either instantly ban anybody who says anything that somebody might find painful or ban nobody for it. A moderator who overreacts due to personal experience with a discussed subject should not be a moderator. If you can not treat all cases equally then you are not a moderator, you are a dictator.

    Talking to a person is a reasonable first step. Silencing them if they keep it up is a reasonable second step. Banning them if they still haven't learned their lesson is a reasonable action. Jumping straight to step 3 is the action of somebody who has problems with self control let alone control of others.
    Only decent post in the thread. Kudos.

    Little bit of an exaggeration there.

    No.

    Psychological problems push people to suicide. The internet doesn't make anyone do it.

    That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read on these forums. I didn't find the OP's joke funny AT ALL. But this post of yours is absolutely ridiculous. You're actually saying people that joke about rap are as bad as rapists.

    That is...that is BEYOND the realms of epic fail. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you've never had an experience the likes of which you are describing.

    Arena Emp Build

    For an Empathy defender i'd go with Sonic or Elec. Sonic is good for the stun from shriek, whereas elec is good for the pet. (Can act as an IO Mule.)
  12. Make it 8vs8.

    Bigger teams = more chance of established cliques letting newfound D6ers join their team.

    Actually they're the opposite.

    Hibernate & Phase have always been staple tools used by high end PVPers.

    If someone is complaining about hibernate/phase then they are 100% likely to be a noob.

    Just found it funny, because you posted right after me.
    Yeah that thread implied base levels were used when determining the validity of PVPIO Drops.

    But if Ra has been getting them from a level 41 then that can't be the case.

    Tough is bad. Phase is the only way to reliably evade in zones due to travel suppression.

    Tough won't save you from an 8 man gank squad.

    Tough won't save you from toggle debuffs.

    Tough won't let you kill the stalker with a sliver of life left who has phased.

    Energize + Phase is a lethal combo.

    Oh wow didn't know that. I sit corrected. I thought it was set to base level, not exemplared level.
  17. Awesome Turbo! Much more consistent with the theme of your overall base!

    lawl if I am the only person that finds that funny then I must pray for you all.
    I find it funny TBH. But there's not much else to do in a thread once it's been Dahjee'd.

    You're really causing a lot more problems than you are solutions.

    Why can't you just go away?

    Elec/SS/Stone

    An Elec/SS/Earth can be beastly. Your attacks will mostly be ranged (Hurl/Fossilize/Stone Prison.) Proc them up & throw KO Blow into the mix and you have an awesome offensive character.

    I'd go Speed/Leaping/Fitness/Concealment for powerpools.

    Are you actually insane?

    I've PL'd the forum rep of nearly every poster in the PVP section & I've kept you perma red.

    You're bad at forum pvp too.

    GG.

    PvP Drops

    PVPIOs only drop if the following criteria are met:

    1. You kill someone in zone that gives you rep.
    2. You kill someone in the arena that would hypothetically give you rep.
    3. You are within three levels of the person you have defeated. (Actual levels of characters.)

    No way is it that bad. Those numbers are so high because of teaming:

    0 team mates = 100% chance of you getting the drop
    1 team mate = 50% chance of you getting the drop
    2 team mates = 33% chance of you getting the drop
    3 team mates = 25% chance of you getting the drop
    5 team mates = 20% chance of you getting the drop
    6 team mates = 14% chance of you getting the drop
    7 team mates = 12.5% chance of you getting the drop

    I'd say the drop rate is closer to between 1/150 & 1/350 rep worthy kills.
