R u calling tempty fat?

Making these ridiculously stupid posts of "YEAH WE ROFLSTOMPED THEM HAHAHAHAHA" On a public forum shows several things.

1) Being a respectful competitor is something you have no interest in. All you really care about is running your silly little mouth and trying to make yourself seem big when in all reality, no one really cares what you have to say.

Like seriously, who would want to take you seriously or even practice with you when you're talking all this stupid garbage in a public forum (and arena chat).

"Yeah man that one time we fought RAFTW, we were totally like roflstomping them it was terribad!!bahahahah" (but a week later we lost to their jump team)

2) Either way, bringing up previous non-official matches to further inflate your somewhat little ego is bad form. Not only does it go against your constant notion of "I really don't care what anyone says", it further shows your blatant stupidity and very limited IQ. Provoking other players with your nonsensical comments is a sure way to singling yourself (and your team) out of getting practice matches with other teams.

Please sir kindly refrain from typing on that keyboard and save us the time and energy of reading your garbage.

Like I take Frost Elf D more seriously, and that's saying a lot.


Also...

The source engine would a better engine to use.

Kat has used up her yearly allowance of the phrase "QQ".

Let this not be stricken from the record.

You don't know what you're talking about. Please try again.





Get wrecked son.

Was being sarcastic.

Or that it wasn't placed into an excel spreadsheet, therefore it's not true.

They can't. They don't know how to PvP nor do they care to actually understand how PvP works.

"I'm going to test out the new I13 PvP in the arena with a team build ice/kin controller in a duel!"

Yeah that worked out so great.


Agreed.



Let's say for sake of argument if the players went to the trouble of doing YOUR job of gathering the data for the Kill to Drop rate ratio, it would still be meaningless. Skill is not a factor that is taken into account in the drop rate.

If 2 teams go at it repeatedly for 10 minutes in the arena, but one team keeps completely hammering 2 toons on the opposing team, the chance for a drop is low. However, in order to Win the arena match, it would be in one team's best interest to attack the weakest link on the opposing team. So it pretty much boils down to A) Keep farming the same target over and over so you win but at the same time you pretty much kill your chance at getting a PvP drop because you're farming one person or B) Attempting to spike other characters but you run the risk of not winning if the other players you are spiking aren't as easy to kill (tankers/brutes/scrappers for example)


Ya don't say?


I'll purposely take what you said out of context to make a point.

Ya'll took WAY too many risks/changes with the I13 PvP changes and basically ****** everything up. PvP was not made any more fun or easier. Nor was the bar for entry lowered. In fact it was raised and made harder.

Bitter ice blast does PATHETIC damage in PvP. Hell Ice Blast (also Ice Assault for Dominators) in general is just plain bad. Yet attacks such as Fossilize and Laser Beam eyes do far more damage than powers in a primary powerset.

Do I also need to mention entire powersets (or certain powers in powersets) were basically made useless thanks to PvP 2.0?



No sir, despite what you and the dev team may think. You did not fix ANYTHING with PvP 2.0, you just made it infinitely worse and have done close to NOTHING to make it easier for newer players to understand the mechanics of the new system.

If you're going to try and give the illusion that you're making educated well thought out decisions/changes to PvP, then take your own advice and make changes that make sense.



Lastly, if any sort of "rep" or "experience" or "token" system is going to be implemented for rewarding players something for kills in PvP, perhaps you should try copying the idea Sony used in their MMOFPS Planetside.

The amount of XP that was awarded to a player when they killed another player in PvP was based on several factors.

The amount of time the person who was killed was alive.
How many players they had killed before they themself were killed.

There was also a bonus awarded for killing multiple players at once. If you had managed to destroy a vehicle that had 5 players in it, you got a pretty hefty bonus. Obviously something like that wouldn't really work unless, we put some sort of timer on it but then we run into the problem of it being brokenly exploitable.

Another issue that might arise would be, what about support type classes that really don't "kill" stuff. How do they get awarded?

Based on amount of healing/buffing/debuffing a player would do, they would be awarded a certain amount of "Support XP". This wasn't nearly as much as killing someone, but it was still an amount that was worth getting in the end.

Agreed. The damage dealt from sharks is pretty OP. Why AS when sharks does just as much damage as the central damage dealing power of the AT?

Sharks needs to do less and AS needs to do significantly more. As it stands, getting ASed isn't nearly as threatening as it once was.

While we're looking at sharks and how much stupid damage they do, take a look at powers such as fossilize for tankers. It does more damage than Bitter Ice blast and Ice blast. Something is horribly wrong here.

And of course, Placate is still broke on stalkers.

The manner in which objects/characters are rendered in the game engine puts stalker players at a disadvantage in PvP. From a distance the graphics engine has to render the stalker and you can have a general idea of where they're standing. As you get close, they'll disappear completely.

Brute fury needs to actually be looked at. (The ghetto "we accidentally fixed it" doesn't count.)




Yeah you're absolutely right, an interruptable hand snipe shouldn't be doing more damage, while we have blasters who can kill a squishy in the same amount of time it takes to set up an AS from ranged while not having to be in Hide.



The placate proc going off 100% of the time in Will Dom in blasters also needs to be looked at.



ARENA

I'd also suggest adding MORE arena options. Being able to turn off DR to certain items such as Recharge and Healing powers would be great. (And yes I want an "i12" option)

The respawn timer is retarded. The player that died is put at a disadvantage. While they're waiting for the timer, their teammates are down one person.

Perfect example. 2v2 match, Offense + Support VS Offence + Support.

Support toon on one team dies. Respawn timer of 15 seconds pops up. Mean while, offense is attacking and spiking the other offensive toon while he buddy is sitting for the respawn timer. Another retarded feature about the respawn timer is that it's inconsistent. In one instance you'll get a respawn time of 10 seconds, the next will be 7, the next 15, the next 5. Either you should have a set respawn timer or NONE at all.

Back in i12, you could click respawn and you still had the several seconds of "unaffectable" status.

Give us the option to choose between a respawn timer or a "Click to respawn" button.



Scoreboard

A scoreboard you can bring up while in the match would be ideal. Also a scoreboard that tallies up all the kills/deaths in real time. (Yes I can add, but just about any other pvp game that has a scoring system has a scoreboard that adds the kills up).

Observers
Need to be faster, and have more perception to see the stealthed arena players.





BTW Thanks for the stealth nerf to PvP drops.

Make an AT that doesn't suck so much in i13 pvp.

Give your kind regards to Castle and Positron.

Scribe isn't on the list. GDHRT nub

You're well known for being a downie.
