PVP Drop rates should be kept as is. Ultra Rare loot is supposed to be ultra rare. If everyone had the shines then there would be nothing for the fabled "casual" gamer to aspire towards getting.

...and that would kinda kill the game completely.

I like that, even at the top end of gameplay, PVPIOs are still rare and hard to come by.

1606 HP? Nice!

There is no "we."

There is no "us."

There is no "us" versus "them."

There are simply players in a video game. No two people use the market in the same way.

Oh and Mod8 plays the market, and Babs probably does as well. So the CR team (and by extension the dev team) support the current in game market because they understand and use it. (That's why this isn't comparable to PVP - none of the development team PVP'd at anything near a competitive level.)

Add in the fact that purples/PVPIOs are supposed to be rare & supposed to be the mother of all time sinks (time sinks = subscription fees) then you will understand why the development team do not want to change the market.

You can't have more than 4 powerpools.

Drop Boxing & Tough. Replace them with Aid Other/Stimulant and Aid Self.

I actually like being outnumbered when i'm playing zones with villains.

The problem with virtue heroside is that everyone plays a scrapper so the heroes always end up getting base camped. (Because teams of scrappers can't really do anything other than take up space.) The decent PVPers tend to be villainside. So it's usually a couple decent villains versus a massive zerg of mediocre scrappers. (& the obligatory heavies.)

Oh and the hero tactics are very honorable. They come at us one at a time. It's almost like a kung-fu movie.

Hey Vince <3

Epsilon were you teamed at all for any of this?

Dammnit

Meh I'll stick to RV then.

Dull Pain + Aid Self makes it godly. Plus high resists, amazing +tohit, and the most damaging brute primary help considerably.

Please use the forums though:

Click on "Search"
Then click on "advanced search"
In the keywords type "ss/inv" or something along those lines.
Change the search from "Search Entire Posts" to "Search Titles Only"
In the bottom left, in the "Search in Forum(s)" section select "Player vs Player"
Click "Search"

You now have the answer to all of your questions. If you have a very specific question then by all means make a thread. But SS Brutes are a very common conversational topic and there is a lot of advice out there on how to build them.

SS/Inv is probably the best brute pairing you can have.

To the people farming PVPIOs:

I've asked several people and EVERYONE is reporting less drops than usual.

Dubya Tee Eff mayte!

I just signed up. Would be good to see some Virtue people in this. (seeing as we're the second busiest PVP Server.)

Get Taunt.

Get Web Grenade.

Get Focused Accuracy.

You shouldn't need phase on a fiteklubbing INV Brute if you have aid self. So take Fitness/Speed/Leaping/Medicine.

Please take the golgi out of aid other. That made me cry a little.
