welcome to the life of a pre-i13 dom.

I expect it's about the same with COH. A lot of the hiring was done in the last half of last year so I'd expect the payoff to come in the second half of this year. Time will tell.

You don't seem to get the problem. It's not that the programmers aren't smart enough. It's their management. You're a manager, you should know. Imagine this scenario: your customer base specifically tells you what they want from your product. You completely ignore everything they say, and instead redesign the product into a totally different program. Your customer base has no idea why you did that, and hates you for it, with many of them simply choosing to not use your software anymore.

Are your programmers at fault here? No, you are, as the guy that speficially told them what to do.

And in our case, the problem is that the management is telling the programmers to do the exact opposite of what the customers are actually asking for. Even the best programmer in the world can't fix that kind of idiocy.

[/ QUOTE ]

or even what not to do.

good management would have stopped powerset normalization in pvp on its tracks.

lolstalags.

srsly.

if you're using anything else besides the hold, QS and maybe VG, you're playing badly.

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.

MAN, wtf.

Web of lies. What a giant crock of [censored].

Try again and this time don't blow [censored] out of proportion.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you read AC in Freedom, you know that i've gone from civilized pvper (i12), very careful to keep diplomatic ties rolling so that the ladder could be run as smoothly as possible to POS [censored] taunting all my kills over all the horrible players left in i13.

NEWS FLASH NEWS FLASH: most of the old guard have any possible toon that can be nerfed/unnerfed in the next 10 issues.
oh look guys, PFF is OP >> so i went and spec'd out two doms. from i12 and i9.
oh guys PFF is nerfed >> fire/sr brute that took 10 days to level to 50.
OMG SHARKS KILL!? >> em/sr stalker from i10.
oh guys defense is nerfed and debuffs rock >> kk, back to my dark/cold (i9) / fire/cold (i12) or even my rad/ice defender (i12).

what's next?
OH GUYS RESISTANCE SETS ARE LEET >> kk, ss/fire brute incoming.

there will always be imbalances.
and people like me will always find them.
and we will always trash talk to the people that are too slow to find them.

GL HF.

rumor is shini made hush cry

[/ QUOTE ]

fixt for veracity.


hush spent about 2 weeks straight in his own private channel in ujl vent right after i joined, because shini told him to switch off of a grav/nrg dom and get his kin in practice.

that's called a pvp server.

and i hope champions has one.

[ QUOTE ]

The Devs didn't like that people practiced 12-15 hours a week and that hero lineups were:

2 Fire/EM
2 Emps
2 Sonics
1 Kin
1 Rad/Psy

(Changer whatever for a FFer, another Kin, a Psy Blaster etc)

[/ QUOTE ]

...yeah... cause now, optimal teams have space for 1-2 wildcards are very different.

except they aren't.

[ QUOTE ]



and that Villain lineups had their Fortunatas/Stalks/MMs/Corrs/etc.


[/ QUOTE ]

they were retarded enough not to know that pain actually opened up the lineups by making forts optional.

[ QUOTE ]

Devs didn't like the idea of spiking, completely missing the fact that to spike correctly takes a team on Vent and practice.


[/ QUOTE ]

that's cause castle used to hang out in px vent yo.

or not.

[ QUOTE ]

Devs didn't like that Emps could heal a target from 5% to full with AP so they added suppression.


[/ QUOTE ]
and now emps get farmed harder and playing a pure healer is pointless.

[ QUOTE ]

Devs didn't like that we ran around with SS/SB/IR/SJ and needed twitch reflexes to react, so in came movement suppression.


[/ QUOTE ]

retards are called "slow" in some circles.

[ QUOTE ]

In other words, Arena teams were too structured and too defined and too narrow so they blew the whole thing to smithereens.


[/ QUOTE ]
and now they are even worse.

gg.

they didnt understand what they were doing at all.

[ QUOTE ]

I13/I14 is what it is...hopefully kills can still be achieved and Phase is still useful

[/ QUOTE ]
yeah.. with glitches and stalkers.

ZOMG HE GONNA WRECK PHFACE IN BLOODY BAY YO

lolmelee.

and my overall opinion is:

in i14:

necro/poison with pb and tactics.
dark/cold with phase and mace.
necro/storm with pb and tactics.

i dont think there's a single toon that can beat those under DR and TS if well played.

The Answer your looking for is - Fire Regen Scrapper.

Ive had this discustion many times with my coalition and we all started making regens for pvp I chose spines instead of fire for the =fly and range but it does a bit less dmg.

Few AT's can get past a good regen build 1 on 1 for we've tested just about everything in the arena.

So far a Rad was the only thing that stood a chance and slim one at that.

I know regen has been nerfed several times but it still rocks since your self heals and regen rate is very difficult to migate enough dmg to overcome.

And having the best dmg output in the game is huge plus.

The only draw back is if your attacked by several players your resistance is not enough to compensate unless your really quick to heal and take 2 or 3 out in time so that they scatter or take a phaze temp power along just in case, which can found at WW.

:Note many plp frown on that tactic of phazing.

[/ QUOTE ]

phasing is frowned upon only by idiots.
OMG YOU USED A POWER.
YOU CHEAT. TRU WARRIRS DONT CHET.

...but yeah... colds wreck regens. especially if they go phase/mace and pack a tray of greens.

..and they're gonna be even more powerful in i14.

[ QUOTE ]
In the Zones: I'd go with Stalkers being King.

In the Arena: I'd go with Blasters being King.

Doesn't matter the order of the rest, they're peasants anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

only broken psi blasters.

a good dom (mind/fire, fire/elec, etc) will wreck a blaster in i14, just like they do now.

it's just like dark/colds in pre i13... quite possibly the most powerful build in the game. quite possibly the hardest build to play in a superbly effective fashion in the game.

I never had an issue fighting someone with elusivity on regular shields, but the elusivity in the tier 9 and PFF is what needed to be addressed. I know most players can hit my widow before elude, but after I hit it is like 3 min of safe mode. They should have fixed that first before doing a game wide Elusivity change IMO.

[/ QUOTE ]

yesterday i had the most awesome duel against a widow with elude.

i ran like a [censored] for 3 mins.
wrecked him for the next 3.
and he quit out.
it was GGGGGGGREAT.

Good thing my Crab and Wolf damage is getting nerfed. The zones were getting overrun with Crab and Wolf Spiders trying to copy my awesome DPS.

[/ QUOTE ]

OMG YEAH MAN.
I USED TO RUN 8 DOMINATOR SQUADS IN RV YO.
WE USED TO BE DA BOMB.
ME AND MY 7 DOMINATOR BUDDIES. ALWAYS IN RV.


...oh wait.

big [censored] lie.

i've never seen more than 3 doms at the same time in RV.

...and i've never seen less than 8 stalkers in RV during prime-time.

If you want to kill noobs go EM if you want help to dmg L337z go spines.

[/ QUOTE ]

My EM/Nin kills indiscriminantly. My Newly rolled DM/Nin will also. (just hit 50 Yesterday , still shopping)

Spines takes less skill to get kills though, I'm guessing that's why it's considered "the best", it honestly shouldn't even be a Stalker set IMHO.

[/ QUOTE ]

hehe, im about to finish a spines/lolregin, and in pve it plays way way differently than any other stalker that i've played. the ridiculous aoe focus makes it a beast.

in pvp? well, it's a tight build with a better attack than ET (impale) that is completely irrelevant to a good stalker's playstyle. (AS is AS. rokur used to run around the test ladder with a damn MA/SR and MA/WP. AS still hurt the same.).

spines just looks more badass than the pompoms.
seriously, the only reason i can't play my em/sr is because of the damn pink pom poms.
