    sirens control?

    Sorry I was actually suggesting you do the scouting, it wasn't really an offer.
    But again I apologise for not catching the meaning of your question (twice) and I'll get my coat ....

    Ok to give you a slightly OT view point now I understand it a little better.
    It is an intersesting 'trigger' that the Devs have designed but unfortunatly there isn't enough population in the Zones for it to be worthwhile playing with the system. To explain a little further if say the zones pop was 30 v 30 at all times and 10% wanted to 'influence' the zone in that way perhaps 3 of each side would go and win/lose the npc battles for them. Given an average population of 15 say than that 10% One player plus his mate if he can manage to persuade him will bother which basically means 0.
    Sorry for the previous misunderstanding hope this makes some sence to you.

    Er thanks. I understand how the system works. What I was pondering on is if the NPC's start the fights themselves and there is a bias to one side without player intervention.

    Don't know a little light scouting would probably reveal the answer though

    And further there is every point to play the zone battles. You know the temps that are available to the faction with zone control? They are very good.

    And just out of curiosity Alphane why do you have such an axe to grind with pvp? Perhaps after wielding said 'axe' I found it blunt, dull and in need of sharpeing (grinding) You seem to post consistently negative responses to any thread about pvp. I'm assuming you missed my attempts to arrange a PvP 'gathering' or my 'How can we best improve PvP thread' or was that all just 'negativety' to you as well? If you dont like it just avoid it? And if you want to pass judgement on it why not give it a try then you can respond without having to trawl the U.S. forum guides. Making assumtions about what my opinion is and how I came about it is unlikely to gain you aything

    Now would be a perfect time to try sirens after my crusade to take control of the zone. There are temps for +perc, +stealth, some armour and extra attacks. Oh and the very usefull webnades.
    Well thanks for your effort on our behalf

    Alphane, if it's wrong to discuss other people's views, presumably it's doubly wrong to discuss discussing other people's views, and you shouldn't have made your post (instead, presumably, you should just have flagged the other posts for GR's attention).

    On the other hand, if you think it's OK to discuss discussing other people's views then they must be OK to start their discussions in the first place, so there's no reason for you to discuss whether they're OK.

    That got everything covered?

    (And, FWIW and IMHO, politely pointing out when others' posts are clearly off topic - like a bunch of new costume requests in a QoL thread - isn't unreasonable.)

    One day a dev might actually have to read this thread and assimalate the suggestions from it just trying to save them a little time and effort.
  4. Not really up to your usual standard IMHO
  5. Love this not sure about the white flash above left eye though.
  6. I'd backup everything in the folder compare it to the 'new' install and replace any missing elements, But than I haven't really got the Tech knowledge to answer your original question!!!

    sirens control?

    Too be honest (Being a bit of a N00B and all)I didn't know control related to NPC action not player interaction. So my apologise to the OP.

    sirens control?

    Didn't know that but my 0.02 inf is about spent so in answer to your question, Haven't got a clue! else Longbow must fight like my Granma

    sirens control?

    Villians I would say obviously get more kills because of the stalker effect, no hero AT allows you those 'Stealth Kill' powers, We can joust for hours with tanks/brutes, Corruptors/Blasters, Maybe scoring 1 to 1 but all the time Stalkers (and possibly the new Veats) are consistantly notching up Kill Count, Hence Red side controls the Zone, without some serious Blue side pressure
  18. Man I play an energy blaster and I'll snipe that boss till it falls or Kb a weakened spawn but not until I know I can kill it stone dead, it's all about how you use your powers!

    sirens control?

    OK back to topic
    SC SuX cos Stalkers to Uber
    SC SuX cos Veats are actually Epic
    Go figure!!!
    You ain't gonna get NO-ONE saying thanks for all your effort oh we must be so N00B compared to you. If your looking for that PvP ain't the place to find it

    For the record, no fortunata can stand up to a half decent Fire/Em Blaster. Holds make no difference on proper teams which have multiple sources of grantable mez protection.

    As I see it even a full 8 man squad satnds little chance against a couple of patient Stalkers, you WILL have to rest from all the manic movement and they WILL kill you. Game Over thanks for playing please insert more credits!!!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well I thought fortunata's were over powered but admittedly overall they are balanced in a relative way. Stalkers are fine tbh.

    Bigger problem is how daunting pvp is to newbies but there is another thread adressing these issues.

    If I translated that right I would agree one Widow I think it was took down 3 competent PvPers in SC this was my last experience of PvP and frankly again I would say the 'balance' Dev was on holiday the day they sanctioned that.(see other post about PvE plant control)
