In my defination those are opinions. They become judgements when you start thinking that having a gold coloured car is punishable action.

Judgement is something that by definition leads to punishment or reward.

I strongly believe that throwing insults at other players should be punished.

[/ QUOTE ]

I on the other hand couldn't care less.

If you don't care about insults why do you care about what others think of you ? It seems to me you care enough to make a forum post about it and say we're all wrong for thinking less of people that behave in an unsporting manner in PvP.

It's all about manners.

[ QUOTE ]
Don't judge it's not your job. Have a opinion instead. And most of all.. Be tolerant!

[/ QUOTE ]

I think it is my job to judge a person if he's insulting me. Why should i be tolerant to that person ?

PvP is a zero-sum game. For one person to win another must lose. Ergo it is human conflict.

Your argument essentially boils down to "A person should not run. They should stand there and let me boost my PvP rep, despite the fact they could stop me killing them if they wanted."

I say rubbish. In full-on PvP (not, as mentioned earlier, in a duel - I regard them as very much a two men enter, one man leaves kind of affair) I will use every single weapon (that is within the rules) at my disposal to win in PvP, be that attacks, defenses, using a travel powers to run to the base, jumping into a spawn so the toggle debuff you've stuck on me gets you a whole world of aggro, temporary powers, a string of emotes designed to rile you by suggesting sexual inadaquicy and getting you involved in a protracted discussion over broadcast about the best way to cook bacon in order to sneek up on you while you type your response.

If you cannot take someone down before they escape, and they come back and take you out, the one who has failed is you, not them. It's not exactly as if CoX is devoid of ways to stop someone escaping, and the option to retreat is there for you as well. If you do not chose to use it, tough.

I think you are taking this PvP thing a bit too serious. It's meant to be fun for all not only yourself. Making your opponent get aggro ? making him grind to get rid of it doesn't classify as fun.

It's a game, who cares you killed X 10 times while he killed you just once ? Nobody, if you are using the tactics you described.

Their's no shame in running. I run when outnumbered (or try to ) only to a) either split up the group and maybe catch one straggling after me alone or come back to find one standing by him/her self. b) to maybe give a team mate time to do some dmg if some are following me.

I dont see the need to run to base though just to hide. There are sometimes other ways around being outnumbered. Not always the case but its always worth a try

[/ QUOTE ]

Funny! I've yet to see you to even try to run away with the corruptor. Kamikaze squishie

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah but with a Katana you do it with style, rather than just SMASH

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean CUT right ? :P

I hate when people start to throw insults in pvp zones. I've been provoked on numerous occasions but i don't think i've ever resorted to insults. Sure, sometimes i get really annoyed but either i ignore them and leave them be or i just vent off talking to my friends in tells

[ QUOTE ]
Can you not issue commands to your pets when Held? I've been able to control pets with my Mastermind while Held/Feared/Mezzed, using both the preset hotkeys and my keybinds, I just can't use any powers (same as other ATs).

I don't think the game counts pet commands as a power - in the same way that you can still talk to your team while Mezzed/Held/Feared, you can still "talk" to your pets too.


[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sure of it ( at least in pvp ), when you get held you cannot order your pets, though they retain the
stance/command you gave prior of the hold.



[ QUOTE ]
You can happily have my pet Ai they just love to sit in the flame patches from longbow flamers and melt.

Really gets annoying especially when I am trying to watch TV and play the the same time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Mine also sit in caltrops/fire patches but only if they are set on passive stance, if i try to make them attack they scatter around doing nothing - i have ninjas so i always force them into melee. My Oni ( when using ranged attacks ) will stay in caltrops and attack, but when he tries to go for fiery katana he'll start running around like a brainless demon that he is

[ QUOTE ]
Bah, if you're in danger of being mezzed I normally switch my henchies to Aggressive so even if I get hit, my henchmen fight on!

Also, I like letting my bots get mezzed - Dispersion stops the holds and immobs, and they're naturally resistant to Sleep


[/ QUOTE ]

Well in PvE i've yet to have any problems with holds/sleep, but i'm more interested in PvP

Sure some will say blasters don't get mez protection, but the fact is we MMs don't have a great damage burst to take out the enemy that is mezing before he lands a hit

The only upgrades i can think of for this AT would be :

1. Better henchie AI ( i'm sadistic and want to see my pets take damage from caltrops or flame patches - make them stop scattering around like lunatics ).
2. An inherent mez resistance power ? - maybe just against psionics ( we should have an extraordinary large brain considering our AT :P ) - because if you get held, or asleep you can't control your pets so you are a total joke ( others might say they are defenseless too when held, but we MMs have the lowest hitpoints so we die way quicker than any other held AT ).

As a regen don't you have integration ? that power is better than resilience and acrobatics in terms of mez resistance.

I play a lvl 31 MM in SC on Defiant

Ahhh, i just remembered : forgot to mention i want my scrapper for pvp in SC ( for the time being at least ).

Also from the hero planner seems QR gives a bigger bonus to +regen than stamina ( so i'm thinking it should be ok as the only regen - after all there are a lot of scrappers that don't have regen as secondary and took stamina...and they fare pretty well ). Correct me if i'm wrong :P

Also, being an inherent power, will it be deactivated if i'm exempted ?

[ QUOTE ]

u shud come across to union and see the lions in sc....


[/ QUOTE ]

I'm on Defiant

I'm not saying it's impossible, just that i have yet to see it :P

[ QUOTE ]

Place your bets, 2 to 1 odds on the lady.........


[/ QUOTE ]

Is that good or bad for me ? ( never gambled, never will :P )

Help me out win some SO's please

Don't worry i'm just kidding with you :P ( love it when you debuff the heroes in SC )

Oops, might have expressed myself wrong in there, i meant : when you die so your team can escape if need be

Of course it's always much more fun if everyone survives, but unfortunately there are times when that's impossible even with a team full of good players ( we all make mistakes sometimes ).

I've yet to see heroes dominate SC when the sides were balanced ( number wise ).

And you don't think villains should have time to catch up to heroes ?

Ok...

I can hardly wait to see your defender in SC again. >

Well as i said, don't have experience with Co* tankers, so i was talking in general, and the mentality of a tanker.

Being the one that gets most debt isn't bad, it's actually good because that means you fulfilled your role and saved your team. People need to learn to look out for others instead of always being self centered.

Ex: I have pff so if things get ugly i can just hop in it and i couldn't care less if i'm up against 10 AV's, but if a member of my team gets on low health ( note - even if i'm the current target for an enemy ) i drop my pff just to try and get a buff or two and maybe aid other in there, disregarding i'm on red health, immob, debuffed and already near debt cap :P

[ QUOTE ]

Lol Aful, I think that comes from grouping with selfsuffient AT a lot, like yourself. Rarely do I get to team with any that give me buffs back and we've only teamed a few times so takes a bit of getting used to watch you give out buffs and not just sit comfy in your bubble


[/ QUOTE ]

Bah ! What's that supposed to mean ? i have pff off a lot in pvp, just to give out buffs and sometimes to use Aid Other. That's when you see me going from full health to death in less than a second

I don't have any firsthand experience with tanks in Co*, but let me point out the role of tankers from other mmorpgs : Take aggro, get bashed, die for your team if it's needed.
That's the point of a tank, the role of your team is to make sure you stay alive - if they fail that it's their own fault but do not try to get revenge and stop taunting.

I mean, when you make a tanker you must think you'll be the one AT that will collect the most debt, the one that will always be the last to leave the battle field, the one that will always have the most work, and if you do your job right the praises you get will make you forget any debt you might have aquired.

Sorry if it sounded like a rant, wasn't intended.

But...but...gand of course you don't stand a chance in pvp...you are always rushing off on your own and everytime i see you i have to scream after you so i can buff you.
Instead of staying there while the stalker was preparing AS you could of fled the scene and come back with a new set of debuffs :P

It also depends on what type of controller you are going to be.
For a stormie ( what i've seen in pvp ) SS is very much needed , and fly is a nice bonus so you can chase after the flying villains and ground them ( or use hurricane to debuff a corruptors acc - or simply intrerupt his sniper attack ).

Thanks :P

I always slot my toggles with an endred, even if i'd have stamina ( i just like having the blue bar all the way up ).

So far i'm getting along with QR really well ( with ss + integration running ), and i come close to have half end only in fights that last longer than 4-5 minutes.

Well my question is, can i do without stamina ? i'm not keen on spending 3 power choices to get it ( not when i already have a power that gives +regen to end ). Besides if i slot QR with 4-5 endmods wouldn't that beat stamina with 1 endmod ? ( i know putting more than 3 of the same slots in a power isn't very effective but still gives a bonus ).
