    DB/Regen/Mako Stalker
    SM/Will Brute
    Ice/SS/Body Tank

    The stalker sort of has a PvP build, but the other two don't. Yes I would respec any of them and they all have free-specs or vet-specs I can use. I also have an Ice/Thermal Corrupter but he is only 41.

    Thanks.
    We've been in Pocket D nightly at 9pm EST

    I don't see why a PVEr would spend hours farming for PVP IOs unless they had like 6 accounts. Not to say that no one does, but I doubt enough of them to make any real difference. It seems the problem lyes in those dudes buying them from the market though. Not even sure if pvers affect the market at all. At the end of the day this is all speculation as we don't have any way of knowing what percentage of pvers even care about PVP IOs. I'd personally just like to see a raw increase to the drops period.
  3. Check out this chart.

    http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Table_of_Special_IOs

    It doesn't mark purps which is why i'm confused.
  4. Unless im mistaken, (which is very possible) purple procs are resistable and pvp procs arent + javelin's volley toxic dmg is very useful in pvp and pve I love the idea of none of the bonuses working in pve. You can't get them pveing so dont have them available to that community.

    People "********" about the market want things at reasonable prices, not to be confused with people like me who just want things to be available. I PVP, a lot, like a lot a lot alot. And I farm like once every other day. So if you are referring to me you stand corrected. Also we aren't talking about a job, we are talking about a friggin video game. "Things handed to you"...psh...

    I understand economics, didn't say anything about the player base but rather the drop rate. Supply and demand is at work here and nothing else. If someone is willing to buy it we both benefit. There are 0 on the market, and I do not have the inf to put it on the market for 100mill inf. If the IO wasn't so rare and so expensive I would be able to put it on the market for say 100mill, but that is not the case. This is just common sense at work here.

    Nuff said, nite.

    Oh wait...no-one did.
    Either way your point is irrelevant. What would people leaving the game change? It hasn't mattered in the past.

    let's wait and see if anyone does.
    Kinda like i13? or i16?

    I can accept that. But it plays out both ways especially since we can't really gather up the entire community and say "Hey, so what do YOU think about this?".

    Colour me confused.
    Last time I checked this is a video game not a job, I shouldn't have to do boring stuff. Also, it doesn't solve the 0 for sale issue.

    This is all relative to wealth though. To your average gamer 2 billion is some sort of achievement. To mid level marketeers it means they're good at what they do. To the top marketeers its nothing more than a weeks earnings.

    In short; your tastes don't match your earnings. You're like the kid who wants an expensive sportscar but doesn't have the house/clothing/lifestyle to match it.
    I have a 2 x lvl 50 fire kinioed out and capable of making this 2bill in a week but farming is disgustingly boring. As I said though, it is what it is. I just don't think the one or two people disagreeing here represent the majority of the PVP community.
  14. At the end of the day, i'm all for what the majority of the pvp community wants, but I don't think that is the case here. Either way, back to the daily grind tryna get this blasta ready for the league lol

    Rare sure, but PVP IOs take the cake completely. So many just aren't available and are worth upwards a billion inf. I hear pvpers talking about how they just buy inf all the time...wonder why...

    The main thing that gets me is that they don't reverse mistakes, they just kinda say..."oh well, we know you hate it but this is our game screw you."
  17. The Siren's Call bounty system is terribly outdated. They should allow a random roll for x amount of bounty with a chance of getting a PVP Recipe. Then implement this system into other PVP zones, namely WB and BB (In the event that they have some sort of population again).


    Rare is understandable, but non-existent and billions of inf is just bad decision making.
  18. There aren't enough PVP IOs on the market at all. So many zeros it's not even funny. The incredible prices are another issue. I've seen PVP IOs sell for up to 4 bill here on the boards. Maybe just remove the 5 minute timer? This seriously needs some looking into. Most PVPers aren't here to farm or grind but to pvp.

    Could have fooled me by the turn out on tonight's practice.

    I realize mics are expensive, but even the most basic computers have on board sound and if you don't have at least a pair of head phones to listen to the calls and conversations.

    Oh, and way to step up to the Plate _Devine, I'll get that Emp up to snuff tomorrow or Wednesday.
    d8 team, lets see, like 2 scrappers and a psy blaster...yeah...TOTAL

    lol.
    Yeah well hopefully by the time this thing is over you dudes make good pvpers out of all of us

  23. Could we add this guy to the list??

    @Ace Hunter
    he said he wants in but didnt know where to go or anything. If we're gonna have a rough team I can assure you this guy is less rough that most of the people on this list.
