    Or is it okay to take the non-combat powers from Crab / Bane?
    If the description of the power begins with melee then its not allowed and everything else is cool.

Also in arena can the regen rate be reduced, cause most FPSs the guy doesn't have regen abilities outside of a med pack. (aid self)
    I figured since nobody will have end drain powers then it wouldnt be an issue. I wanted to focus to be assault.

    I believe when we turn off travel powers in the arena options we just lose travel powers and still keep the other powers in the power pool.

    It would be 99% of the time in arena. I would like to do the Graveyard map and have one team behind the wall and defend it while the other team tries to take it over. Or the striga map and place traps in the woods and wait for people to cross your path. Since end will not be an issue I can imagine some crazy slotting for acc, dam and range for super snipes.

    I'm not making fun. I'm actually thinking I might do this.

    EDIT for questions: Crabs can't have backpack and gun? Same question for Banes? Also, by "backpack blast powers", you aren't excluding grenades from the backpack, right?

    Once we get enough players we can vote on the MM's and what to do with them.

    I was thinking of lowering the pets the MM is allowed in the match. For example they can only use one set of the pets, either tier 1, tier 2 or tier 3 pets.

    New RPvP idea

    I been thinking of starting a new RPvP theme idea and tell me what you guys think? After playing most of the games content, PvPing, Strike Forces, Task Forces, etc… I want to do something different on this server. I was playing a first person shooter game and was thinking that it would be cool if CoH/V had a something similar to it. Well I think we can do something like that. Since both sides for the most part have the same powers then listed bellow are the powers I think we can use and AT’s for this type of RPvP:

    Blasters:

    Primary Powers:
    Assault Rifle
    Archery

    Secondary:
    Devices
    --------------
    Defender:

    Primary:
    Traps
    Trick Arrow

    Secondary:
    Assault Rifle
    Archery
    ----------------
    Corruptor

    Primary:
    Assault Rifle
    Archery

    Secondary:
    Traps
    Trick Arrow
    ------------------
    Arachnos Soldier

    Build 1: Bane
    With mace blast powers only

    Build 2: Crab
    With Back pack blast only

    Build 3: Huntsman
    With rifle blast powers only
    ---------------
    Mastermind

    Primary:
    Ninjas
    Mercs
    Bots Thugs

    Secondary:
    Traps
    Trick Arrow

    * Must have all primary range powers
    ------------

    Rules:
    1. Matches will be 10 – 30 min long
    2. No Travel powers
    3. No TP Foe & TP Friend Allowed
    4. No Melee
    5. No Phase Shift
    6. Tier 1 Inspirations allowed
    7. Max recovery
    8. Aid Self is allowed
    9. Teams size and FFA will be according requests
    10. All matches will not exceed lvl 40 because of the unnatural Patron Powers and Epic Powers
    11. No Vengeance Is allowed
    12. Pets will be allowed
    13. We will have tournament style matches once we have enough players.

    * These rules are subject to change
    ---------------------------------

    This is more of a PvP idea than Role Play. I just wanted players to be on a equal playing field. This will be kinda hard for some people to get used to since we will not have healers or buffers. You will die on this type of PvP, but you will just have to have more kills than the person or teams you are going against.

    Is this a good idea or bad idea?
  10. I had a tons of fun when Base raids were around.

    We all know the new pvp is garbage & not fun at all.
    Wait until rogue comes out, you know what it will be?

    Sirens Call: Both sides stalkers maybe some dev blasters. Pvp will be totally invisible.

    RV: Both hero & villain will be full of thermal corruptors & stalkers. LOL

    Think people hate pvp now or complain about pvp now, just wait. lol People are going to cry so hard the devs will end up nerfing thermals & stalkers.

    Both sides will hibernate/phasenoob & run.

    Do you really think the current pvp is fun? I sure don't. The old pvp was 100 times better.

    Ive been PVE since the devs ruined pvp in this game. The most important thing about pvp is each AT's uniqueness & what it brings to a team, the developers squashed that!

    I hope you get some new customers with double xp weekend. LOL!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    At least there will be people on both sides. On my server there are more villains than heroes that PvP so we need some of those players to switch to the blue side to increase zone PvP numbers.

    can someone post the current teams and members and the current players with out a team

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Most 3 vs 3 teams broke up to team with other people with out teams or missing a player to create a full team. I PvP with PE/RE but after a few matches I joined a few other mixed team matches to keep the event going. A current team list has not been posted yet since some people are still learning what AT's to bring and how to work in a 3 vs 3 team enviroment.

    Theres pvp in this game?


    Psst, theres no system just a bunch of people randomly button mashing and eating cookies. Oh and you have to think of different ways to kill castle while pvping, its a rule now.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    If you can't beat a bunch of button mashers then you should not be PvPing anyways.

  14. I just spent 500 mil on a PvE build for my Elec/WP/Mu stalker and it is insane. I start off with Lightning Rod + Thunder Strike + Mu Lightning Ball + Jacobs Ladder = Lots of damage on a team.

    I was just wondering...What AT and set did you bring?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    1st time: Cold / Psy Defender (1st on the farm list in that match )

    2nd time: Dark / Pain Corruptor (Survived more, but only because I was 2nd on the farm list )

    Again, I wouldn't be the complainer on this one if I'd been on a team with a chance. We were 3 PvEers who faced 3 good PvPers. I've had fun (and a chance of doing something) at 1 PvP event so far. I was paired with Psy. We had a good time.

    Getting PWNt ain't that bad. Getting horribly blanked twice is embarassing.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Those are both good PvP sets. Are those builds made for PvP? A PvE build and a PvP build are very different. In PvE you don’t need phase shift and Cones/AoE's are extremely useful; however single target damage is better for a PvP build and one of the most important thing about PvP is the ability to evade and have an escape. On the Cold/Psi do you have phase shift and does the dark/pain corr have hibernate?

    When I first started PvPing I died a lot. When I say a lot I mean A LOT. One thing I learned that helps me PvP is I spent a while learning to evade and when is the right time to attack. Then I had to learn my roll on a PvP team. For example if I am on a tank I am a disruptor and taunter, if I am on a blaster I am damage dealer, if I am on an emp I am support. Don’t get me wrong these toons can be played many different ways and they can be used for other rolls. I seen defenders do damage and blasters disrupt; however those are the positions I choose to play while on my toons.

    If you need help with a build I know Firi said he will help and I know Helm is great with numbers too, but if you need some help I can give you some ideas as well.

    Try not to make assumptions when you weren't there.

    I came to have fun, and I was excited to try things out. I didn't come with an expectation of failure, but I wasn't expecting to be a major player either. Both matches weren't humbling. They were humiliating. Those are two different things.

    PvP is still way too FOTM-friendly. Like all the PvPers have said, they didn't fix it with Issue 13. They raised the entry bar so high that players like me don't have a chance to do anything without being the pity spot on a team.

    I don't even mind having said pity spot, but that didn't seem to be an option this time around.

    All death and no kills makes Cath a non-PvPer.

    I almost killed one! I share the sentiment though. It's a shame to see how badly the heal decay works.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The good thing about heal decay is that its fixed on the next issue because it has its own option now to click in the arena if you want it on or off.

    when GR comes we won't need Proliferation. We'll be able you take whatever power and switch sides

    [/ QUOTE ]

    So I can make a trick arrow corruptor when GR hits? How bout a cold domination controller?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    How about a Psi corr, illusion Dom, Regen Brute, Elec Tank, Energy Scrappers, etc.... there is still a lot of powers that can be switched.
  23. I would have really like some Power Proliferation before the Rogue Expansion so we would have more powers to choose from when switching sides.
  24. GJ Easy Breezy... It was a great match.
