Dear Jay,

the witch top is having some problems when coupled with a cape.



Upper Body
Upper Body : Sleeveless Jacket
Jacket : Uniform Open
Chest: Witch Lace
Shoulders : None

Cape
Back Detail : Asymmetrical Cape
Brooch : None
Cape : Scarf


Here is an example of the Witch Lace + Cape, and as you can see it looks like part of the cape is being "covered" up or over-written by the Jacket/Witch Lace Top. I'd like to think it's an issue with Witch Lace rather than the jacket because when you switch the Chest to something like bridal...you get this .

Brutes > Scrappers > Tanks.



[/ QUOTE ]

Probably the only thing I've agreed with you on. But yeah, lolscrappers and loltanks. Brutes are the [censored].

Yeah, no [censored] man. When I read the transcript of an interview with Posi and he basically said "Pvp 2.0 is better than pvp 1.0 and we like it", I wanted to kill a kitten and a dog at the same time.

And BTW, the NEW PVP IS TEH AWESOME!!!

Build up causes suppression as does, casting Forge. Funny, if you're on an emp and you buff someone with Fortitude, no suppression. Switch to a corruptor and buff someone with Forge, you get suppressed.

That's impressive.

Positron's comments on PvP

[ QUOTE ]

On PvP:
04-28-2009 18:21:19 [Local] Delenda: any new in Pvp? a capture the Flag mode for exemple? new arena modes?
04-28-2009 18:21:39 [Local] Positron: We're working on some new arena modes, no idea when they will be done though

04-28-2009 18:21:47 [Local] Sunblushed Horizon: Can I just ask with the amount of problems that this new PvP has caused and the amount of begging asking for a i12 pvp re-roll with some additions from now. what is the devs current view on (sorry for personal opinion) the disgrace pvp currently is
04-28-2009 18:22:18 [Local] Positron: We love the way PVP currently is

04-28-2009 18:27:14 [Local] Sunblushed Horizon: how about not taking it from a devs point of view i now i12 pvp had its problems but this new pvp system has even more
04-28-2009 18:27:19 [Local] Sunblushed Horizon: how is that an imporvment
04-28-2009 18:27:51 [Local] Positron: I think the old PVP system was severly flawed, and the new one is still flawed, but far less so.

More proof the devs don't know what the [censored] they're talking about.

[ QUOTE ]

One of the concerns raised with /ice for brutes is that it would nearly eliminate the value of /EA. To some extent that's probably still a valid argument, but it's less valid now than it used to be.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hell there would never be a reason to make a /EA brute ever again if brutes got ice armor.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've spoken my share on the new pvp changes enough. The new pvp doesn't require any real skill. Your powers don't do what they really do. In PvE they do one thing, while in pve they might not even be worth taking. There are a LOT of bugs and more problems were created with I13/i14 PvP yet, it's viewed as "balanced" which is a bunch of crock. PvP 2.0/3.0 drove out most of the more experienced players and I have yet to see the new wave of pvpers to show up. Perfect example, a lot of players in War Council and Exile no longer play.(edit: Anyone notice that War Scribe doesn't sign on anymore???) Or they don't pvp anymore because pvp is just not fun anymore. You would have no problem signing on between 6PM - 11PM on a weeknight and be able to throw a kickball or a normal arena match together. Now you can't even get a 3v3 going even if you beg in arena chat. PvP isn't fun.

Besides PvP events, Sirens, Warburg, and RV are basically dead most of the time.

AH NUTS!!! The motes don't work when you're hovering or flying

Thanks for the head’s up. A fix is on the way…

[/ QUOTE ]

BaB, I also just noticed a weird clipping issue or overlapping when using the Witch "Tops with skin" pieces, a cape, and a Sleeveless jacket.

The witch pieces will overlap a portion of a cape, thus making it appear to be a different color. When you switch to another top...say Bridal or any other top, the cape is *over* the top. If you switch to "Jackets" the cape will be over the cape normally, it seems this is only happening with Sleeveless jackets.

If that doesn't make any sense maybe these screenies will help...

Witch Top + Cape

Non-witch Top + Cape

I keep running into those stupid farm missions. No plot, little if any dialogue, just go kill. I finally hit one that was designed in such a way as to constitute an exploit. (And no, I am not telling anybody what it was, not until it's addressed. Yes, I reported it).

I'm tired of the farm missions any way. I want real content. If this finally forces the Dev's to come up with some way to stop these farm missions (mostly because they will all eventually be designed like the one I encountered) all the better.

[/ QUOTE ]

I keep running into these stupid threads. No real point, little to no logic, just someone posting a thread in the wrong section. I finally saw a thread that would constitute a removal of the thread. (And no I'm not telling you what thread it is, not until the mod addresses it. Yes I reported it)

I'm tired of the threads anyways. I want real threads. If this finally forces the mods to actually look at the forums and stop these stupid threads (mostly because it's all just random venting with no real point) all the better.

Playing for hours, days, weeks, months or even years with one ruleset then stepping into a zone and have the most basic elements about your character be completely different just doesn't seem like a good idea to me, especially after 4 years.

Wow, it appears you have common sense.

Unfortunately, the developers don't share that with you.

A little too much [censored] common sense. Can't have that on the boards now can we?

In arena, you can already pretty much play with the new i13 changes off. So they "have" indeed done something to pacify the playerbase, whether or not it helped or was right.

[/ QUOTE ]

Same mez system? Same borked up damage? There's still resisted debuffs/AS? Buffer's dont' really buff?

Sounds like pvp 3.0

[/ QUOTE ]

What I'm pointing out, is they have done "something" to pacify the problems. They still need to "fix" the problem, but at least they are somewhat listening. Somewhat..

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh ok, just making sure. For a second I thought you were one of those crazed nutjobs claiming that i13 pvp is "balanced" and the best thing to happen to the game. Was about ready to throw a rubber brick your way.

That's silly. Basic gameplay mechanics were not removed, but altered. *snip*

You didn't answer my question. What do you think would happen if they made those changes to the PvE game?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hard for me to answer. I cannot see the need for such changes in PvE. A lot would happen I imagine... as always.




[/ QUOTE ]

Which is exactly the point. PvP 2.0 wasn't needed at all.

[ QUOTE ]
Before I13 ...COX had the best pvp system out there in MMO's. It's just the dev's don't see how much potential this game had/has and did not really listen to the pvp community like it should of and release I13. Thus destroying the small but loyal pvp community. I14 seems like they are "trying" to fix their mistakes.....i hope for this game's sake they succeed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Old pvp was a joke. It was great for stalkers and the veats, and everyone else hated having toggles dropped. The old darth noobians and cheez sithians liked it...since their precious star wars galaxies got destroyed. Also the old 40' range on impale was gay. Mez length was real gay. Unresistable assassin strike was gay. Blasters unresistable damage was gay. All defense sets were useless.

The new PvP is a nice improvement but it needs some work. I think raising controllers/doms holds from 4 secs to 5 secs would be good and increasing everyone else's mezzes to 3 secs would be good. Also putting a floor on how low a mez can be resisted would help, based on AT of course, meaning tankers would have the highest resistance to mezzes in the game.

The new changes to Khelds has been wonderful.

Khelds Teamed >> VEATS Teamed >> VEATS Solo >> Khelds Solo.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're saying everything's gay but not giving any real reasons.

So you must not having a clue what you're talking about.

Dumok I thought you quit.

Planetside had awesome open world PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]There's something wrong with this statement. It's an FPS in an MMO world. :P

I'm not a fan of WoW, but when I played it I liked WoW's battlegrounds the most out of most games I've played. I did a little world pvp for a while but wasn't a big fan of it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Planetside also had and still has very HUGE imbalance issues.

OP you're wrong. The new PvP is completely 100% balanced. I like the fact that there are even less viable ATs to pvp with, inspirations are useless (particularly BFs), and it has been reduced to button mashing instead of taking skill.

Wow... best post ever.

Personally, I'd go with Expedient reinforcement in animate stone. Slightly lower damage bonus (3%), but you get mez resistance and a nice recharge bonus.

If it were my build, I'd put 2 KB IOs in acro instead of 2 end redux, they won't make that much of a difference.

I'd take the extra slot out of SS and SJ put it into Health. Add the numina ++ proc and another miracle so you get the recovery bonus.

In SS/SJ put the blessing of the zephyr increase run/fly/jump/etc/end.

In AM, take out the End mod/acc and replace it with End mod/end, that way AM isn't using a whopping 15 points of endurance.

You *can* just 2 slot acro, take the 3rd slot, put it into hibernate, take one slot out of assault put it into hibernate and put a sec of doctored wounds, so you get more recharge.

I don't know much about rad so that's all I got to say so far. Hope that helps.

Becuase if the good pvpers didnt take so much time smashing and running off all the new guys by having or feeling the need to excessively rub every kill they do in their face and then repeat process over and over then I 13 wouldnt even been needed. Running off new players, creates angry customers, angry customers carry it to the forums and pve, which carries over into buisness and angry customers aint good for buisness. So in sacrifice for a few L33t uber people that made it point to prove they are uber 24/7 and threw one too many grains of salt into the wound, I13 came to be for the better enjoyment of pvp by anyoen who wishes to go into it and not just the l33t few. All it would've took to avoid this nerf bat wasa little respect among players. a little honor. This is basically a self inflicted pvp nerf. Yes some people say that killing someone over and over to bug them is legal so is putting my finger in ya face but not touching you and spitting all types of explitive in front your grandma and wishing the old bat would die so I could laugh when they put her into the ground is all perfectly legal but doesnt exactly make it right. And and if I did do that, I expect a fight to ensure, which in this case complaints and animosity. Pre-13 PVP was nice with the powers and stuff, but it sucked balls because it was always like hard core pvpers owned the zone and didnt want anyone in. Well , mission accomplished on their part but that's bad for buisness by runnign off paying customers. And since the l33t group was small to begin with, they didnt stand a chance against the angry protests. Of course some of my coolest buddies was l33tz and left with the rest but if changing something to piss off a few people for the better for more then go for it. I see the concept behind I13 but dont think it worked out exactly as it was envisioned. Or maybe so depending on which side you're on. Many people are just glad the old d-wads as they became known are finally gone.
