What I find worse is that instead of you attacking my negative points about the PPPs you've decided to attack me personally. That's very bad form, in case you weren't aware. In a thread where I wanted to poll how everyone else feels about this and maybe see if I was wrong, no less.

[/ QUOTE ]

Next time I post I shall check it with you to check if it is 'bad form' or not - seeing as you're the expert.

If you read my post all but the last paragraph was doing exactly what you asked - countering your argument about why the PPPs are 'useless'. The last paragraph was just showing my fustration at people who judge powers and changes before they even get onto Test.

[/ QUOTE ]
But it was written as a personal attack - please, don't do this. You're well aware of the trouble it causes.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I'm sure though this post will also be interpreted as an attack and you'll accuse me of baseless whining some more and infer that I'm somehow too dumb to plan ahead, again. If you liked the PPPs that much, you could've just said so, cause that's what the thread is for.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well not really, as in this post you weren't whining at all. However, you were in the original post. I'm reserving my judgement on the PPPs until I get a chance to actually see them in action.

[/ QUOTE ]
Expressing concerns is not whining, and calling it such achieves nothing but causing more touble and bad feeling. Again, please don't do it.

[ QUOTE ]
However, today in Warburg I've found out that apparently my way of playing is 'lame', and in fact that I am a 'lameass'. This from someone who apparently has all the badges and a rep of 400, so clearly *must* know what they're talking about, by the name of [removed]. I'm not naming and shaming, because there's nothing to shame.

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm afraid you are. If you're making any statement about another player's behaviour in the game that might be construed as casting them in a negative light (such as accusing them of calling you unpleasant names), please don't name them.

As far as the rest of your post is concerned, I think that enough other people have given their opinions to reassure you that you were just unlucky to encounter the attitudes you did.

To restate - PvP zones are just that, PvP zones. If you don't want to run the risk of being beaten by another player (or having another player's actions leading to you being defeated by critters in the zone), don't go there.

If you are in a PvP zone, you are a valid target for anyone who spots you and fancies their chances.

If you want to duel without the risk of being interrupted - or to watch such duels in safety - use the Arena.

Finally, as long as your tactics don't involve exploiting bugs or other flaws in the game in order to gain an unfair advantage over other players, you are free to use your powers pretty much as you like (and from your post, your tactics are perfectly valid).

Some players may dislike your tactics, or be upset at being defeated by them. That's fine. If, however, they respond with abusive language or otherwise violate the EULA, please /petition them immediately. Please do not respond in kind.

Hope that covers everything.

Locking this at the request of Sinergy_X.

PM me if this causes any problems.

Much as I appreciate your enthusiasm, GC, I once again find myself having to point out the rules about 'bumping' threads - and now 'spamming'.

Please, don't do either.

At which point he would have been perfectly entitled to /petition you. Calling people names isn't big or clever, but it is against the EULA and could result in disciplinary action being taken against you. Please don't do it.

On a similar note, 'naming and shaming' people on these boards is against the Message Board Rules and Guidelines. If you're posting to say something positive about someone, feel free to use their name. If you're not, please don't.

Thanks.

One thing no one has mentioned here yet, but shouldn't be left out amongst the many other existing reasons: A few do it mainly for what you call "pride in reputation" Gorgo.

OMG, what a sad, really bad censorship this is...

But as i was saying; pvp offers way more opportunities to boost your ego then PvE does and some ppl really like that aspect.

And ofcourse there is the fun and real challenge of fighting more or less unpredictable opponents in a fast paced environment where coordination and communication plays a much more important role and where knowing thy enemy and thy friends is more vital then ever. Sounds like fun

[/ QUOTE ]
First off, 'censorship' posts are prohibited by the Message Board Rules and Guidelines.

I guess what I should have done is remove your entire post, but I felt it was better to leave the reasonable bit and remove the unnecessary part - which was insulting and derogatory towards PvP players and served no purpose other than to rile people up.

In future, if you have a concern or complaint about my moderation of these boards, please PM me and we can discuss the matter.

I must admit, I find this post a little curious. If a player has just joined the EU servers and wants to introduce themselves, fair enough, but it appears that Dr Death has been with us for a while.

I'm afraid that, as this post seems to have brought out the unpleasant side of some people, I'm going to lock it now.

If you want me to re-open it, Dr D, drop me a PM and let me know.

I said it before.To bring masses in PvP zones the solutions are simple and i am curious why the Devs not implement them.

Ranking System

Remove PvP rep cap

PvP character Slots that will remove the need for PvP builds
and will allow to create a PvP character on the go and simply enter straight away the PvP zone. Without the option to exit from it.

Special PvP rewards that do not interfere with PvE (ranked emotes,Ranked auras,Ranked animations,Ranked temp powers_

PvP in game Hall of Fame

Remove debt from pvp zones

Link the EU PvP zones to each other

Create an international PvP server where Korea,USA,Europe players battle it out giving the opportunity for worldwide CoH events

Solve asap major PvP issues such as toggle dropping

Allow Villains and Heroes teaming in warburg

Lower base item prices so that smaller SG's can participate in Base Raiding.

[/ QUOTE ]
An awful lot of these are anything but 'simple', I'm afraid.

Nonetheless, many of them are good ideas.

[ QUOTE ]
It'll still be largely ponitless for tanks, no matter how many bells and whistles they add.

[/ QUOTE ]
From what I understand of the zone and how it works, I actually suspect that Tankers may be rather useful there. It has fixed emplacements that need defending, and Giant Monster-level signature characters that will require large groups to take down.

In both of these situations, I suspect Tankers will prove rather handy.

Well, fingers crossed.

[ QUOTE ]
I'd say RV isn't going to be that populated after all the badges are attained and the novelty of the new temp powers have worn off.

[/ QUOTE ]
And I'd say it might be worth waiting to see how cool the zone is before deciding.

Okay, I've been forced to remove a whole chunk of this thread due to violations of the Message Board Rules and Guidelines. My apologies to anyone whose innocent posts got removed as well.

I'm going to leave things at that for now, but if the posters in question continue to break the rules, I'll be forced to take more serious action.

Thanks.

To be honest, I'd expect some of those numbers to be closer to 75% than they are.

[/ QUOTE ]

Those numbers are statistically fine, all within 1 standard deviation

[/ QUOTE ]

That's if you look at it as a whole. If you look at it power by power, some of the numbers seem a bit odd - especially Punch. Although it was used more than both Brawl and Haymaker, it has a percentage which is about 6% lower than what it should be. Over 190 tests I'd expect it to be more around 2-3% difference, which the other powers are.

[/ QUOTE ]
As others have pointed out, it's well within the margin of error you'd expect with a sample of that size.

190 tests is actually a rather small number, statistically speaking. If it were 69% after 1,900 it might be significant. 19,000 would be much better.

[ QUOTE ]
No where am I saying that Brute accuracy is actually 50% (only Filth thinks I'm saying that, and that's him being a [removed]).

[/ QUOTE ]
And this, especially before I editted it, is completely uncalled for. I don't want to see any more name-calling.

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed, it's way more likely that Brutes do in fact have 50% accuracy and Cryptic are incompetant enough not to have noticed, my error.

[/ QUOTE ]
Much as I appreciate the time you took to actually provide some hard numbers and the frustration that you probably feel at the reaction to them, Filth, this kind of comment really isn't very helpful.

Please try to consider your posts more carefully in future. Thanks.

I'll give it one until I get around to sorting out a 'useful links' sticky.

Today I come in and anytime i attack someone i get told "oh no we're duelling" or "we're just messing around with our powers" accompanied with abuse. It got to the point where I felt I had to send a tell to my target asking if its ok to attack them (didnt do that though). This kinda thing is really putting me off the pvp zones or onto the idea of creating a build specially for assasinating these people.

[/ QUOTE ]

You did nothing wrong! And never ever send a tell asking if it's "ok" to attack, just do it!
You and anybody else that enters a PvP zone are free to kill whoever or whatever you like, reguardless of whatever they are doing at the time!
If people want a safe 1 vs 1, take it to the arena!
And anyone that stands in a PvP zone and complains of getting killed.......should stay out of PvP zones!

[/ QUOTE ]
What Blizzaria said.

The PvP zones are just that - PvP zones. If you enter one, you are a valid target for anyone who wishes to attack you. If you do not want to be attacked by other players, don't enter the zones.

If you wish to duel another player or team privately, you can use the Arena. You cannot expect everyone else in a PvP zone to be aware that you are duelling, or to leave you alone while you do so. Some players may avoid duellers, but they are no obligation to do so.

Finally, if anyone becomes abusive with you in a PvP zone, please /petition. There is no excuse for abusive language, no matter what the provocation.

However if they all spawn as LTs does that mean they have the LT level bonus ie +1 to what the are leveled at?

[/ QUOTE ]
Although they con the same as Lts, as far as I know they're not Lts, they're 'Henchmen', a unique type of critter.

I'm trying hard to see the positive or humorous aspect of this statement, but I'm not being very successful.

Please keep things pleasant on these boards.
