I REALLY hope it's DR coming to PvE, the hate that would be thrown about by the total community about how bad DR is if it were to be the current PvP version would be hilarious, finally now everyone would understand how PvP'ers felt.

But the real reason I'm hoping it's DR is that it's gonna be a lessened form of what it currently is in PvP because the outrage from PvE land would be too unbearable. I have no problem with players having a maximum or minimum amount of buffage or debuffage on them to balance things but it has to be a MUCH higher value allowed than what DR currently is.

Really all this talk of DR is great, for once EVERYONE is talking about the bad version of DR rather than just the PvP players and then getting lambasted for it and being called whiners. It's gonna be hard for the devs to ignore something that's shoved in their face.

I've perma confused two GMs in Monster Island into fighting each other but they hardly dented eithers hp.

Ice is more of a melee centric playstyle as you want to be in melee with Arctic Air running so that you can confuse who you are fighting but it gets knocked off rather easy, and you can get jack frost which is a great pet.

The mezzes in mind are psionic based and not typed based (i.e. ranged, melee and aoe) so they are tons more accurate and going to hit even when someone is running elude. A confuse that you don't have to retoggle when it gets mezzed off is much easier to manage and the mind attacks do a good amount of damage and are fast animations.

Back in the day when -recharge and slows actually mattered for those other than just colds I would say it is a toss up for the two based on how your playstyle is but now just go with mind and enjoy the utility of it.

So this is issue 19 eh?

They moved back a large chunk of the incarnate levels to make sure that the content that they should have created for the incarnate end-game in the first place is now enough for the alpha slot that should have been with Going Rogue? Seems to me that these devs are reacting to negative feedback about the lack of quality or thought put into their expansion content as opposed to actually setting the bar higher than we expected.

Issue 19 has the incarnate alpha slot (which "should" have been in GR but they didn't realize people wanted actual content with their end-game), a new TF and a gimmick in inherent fitness that should keep us busy respec'ing all of our characters until the real end-game comes.

As much as I like the idea of not having to choose fitness (hopefully now they add more power pools, the lack of diversity is apparent) and new end-game stuff to do allbeit minimal in comparison to what "should" have been available to us by i19 I really hope this issue finds its way to us within a few weeks since the majority of it should already be done.

The Good:
-The armors giving global resists is a great idea I like that but the base resist for squishies should go.
-The non-offensive toggles staying on I like that and the offensive ones dropping is fine with me.
-The mez system change where mezzes actually do have an effect when you use them I do like but this system needs more fine tuning. Being unable to use a main power against a blaster or the two emps on his team to no effect because everyone has CM was bad about the old mez system. Sure you could eat players out of BFs and then it was easy pie but it shouldn't have to come to that. An all or nothing system was no good and so is one where every toon has basically an equally powerful mez as mezzing specific toons do, a lowering of what non-mez specific ATs mezzing abilities can do I think is in order but you can't all out remove it because they need to be able to knock off those offensive toggles too.

The Bad:
-Diminishing Returns in its current form. I see the need for a maximum or minimum amount of buffs and debuffs a toon should have on them but as it is now it is a joke and mostly for squishies. Raising it to scrapper level diminishing returns and the removal of global resists will help to bring back the support role a bit with more buffage for more effect. And you can also build your toon for other things than just hp. This subject boils down to having more variety.
-Power animation times doing crazy damage on some powers and a "where's the beef" effect to powers you would think that would do high damage. There should be a set value for how hard a power hits taking into count the activation time sure but there needs to be sense about it *looking at you fossilizeand sharks*. If they can't rework the power damage system to make sense they should just revert it back to PvE values so it does make sense.
-Jav proc's. In PvP's current form of damage spam things got magnified in intensity when these boys came around. This is a wait and see topic if the Diminishing Returns for players gets reevaluated but I do believe these are a bane to the damage spam game. I have a few toons with many jav proc's and I still would be for a change to them if things would not work itself out sooner or later.
-Heal Decay. I do not like heal decay for arena matches but I do see a point to it in zone. You don't really want a walking juggernaut with bottomless heals to be out there rolling the zone only because he has a emp/pain friend or two. Leaving this as is with the button for arena matches and on for zone or a slight buff to it I can see and that's why I wouldn't put it in the next topic.

The Ugly:
-Travel Suppression......

But this point is moot, more and more there's less people that could care less about what happens because the people who run this game have shown they could care less about fixing and promoting a large portion of what their game can do with just an issues worth of effort that would create more enjoyable endgame content than anything they can come up with for PvE.

Pretty sure the devs have the PvP forum threads on /ignore. The only ones allowed in are the Mods. This is like the wastelands and the Devs send the Mods out to get cannibalized so that they can keep ignoring this area. What we need to do is invade the PvE land and get some spies into the upper crust so that they can influence changes in PvP without them knowing it.

"Boy I sure would like to get some of these badges that are in the PvP zones but my toons are all so gimp when they go there and I get ganked, we should turn off all that DR and travel suppression stuff so I can run from badge spot to badge spot without interruption."

Here's to hoping though!

Well if they had not laughed away the 10% of the PvP population back a few years ago this population would now make up about 40% of the games population. So yeah 40% of people left on this game buying a booster pack would be good money. Even though we shouldn't have to since that's what our monthly is meant for but it was just an idea to throw out there since they are targeting ways to generate revenue. (And before I get flamed about how red the servers have been the new Queue system eats up a large chunk of the server so that it looks like people are playing this game which will trick others into thinking there's people to play with, they didn't proliferate Illusion to Doms but they proliferated it to the server logins)

The only dynamic and evolving end-game content there is to this game they kick in the gut and ignore the fact that they kicked it in the gut. What's better? To bask in the scripted tears of NPC's as you kill statesman for the billionth time or basking in another players tears as u tear apart their precious?

Maybe now that they have killed off some of their RP'er community they will refocus their efforts onto PvP (begins holding breath).

Now that they are done with all of the origin sets and they have this new sweet party pack coming out (bonus power is tp foe) I think they could focus some attention on the only endgame content they have. I'd gladly pay $10+ for **** to be fixed, more attention and thought to be put into this so called PvP, I guess actually I will be come November.

If you buy the pack you can get to play PvP with the new improved (old) PvP, if not you can fiteklub with the other bad Regins.

But honestly though, more emotes, less fixes, fluff is what we need more of.

Ok so maybe I was overdramatizing a little bit, the damage was more around 700+. When I went back through my combat logs though and saw the instance where I was hit for a total of 750+ I decided to uninstall so I cannot provide further proof of this (Overdramatization again i didn't uninstall, not until November).

Tested out a friends KM/Regen/Sharks crapper last night on my dom that usually rolls Regens.

Concentrated Strike did 750+ dmg with heca proc firing to my dom on many occasions without any debuffage and I was running with Charged Armor and Surge of Power godmode for near half the match.

This game is luls, just sayn'.....

I'm sitting here with a Dominator who can't slot one of their epic mastery attacks with IOs knowing that it should be changed to the right classification. How these APP/PPPs made it through all this way to live like this is boggling. Please do hurry, the GR stuff already bores me and I might get bored with this altogether.

I can has the resistance 2 hair and sports boots without paying $40 for the rest of the crap I don't want? Maybe the resistance chest piece too...

On a daily basis millions of young adolescents try to beat The Meat.....

But none have the stamina to truly beat The Meat.

Alas, I call shannanigans, Meat popped his accolade WHICH IS CLEARLY against the fiteklub code and thus forced Project to do so in turn but after the fact. Project wins by disqualification........where's Silit at? We need to get this kid DQ'd!

Delete The Meat!

Right kid....

You know oh so much about the game and yet you ignore logical statements. I'm not going to get into a forum war over stupid **** because someone happens to spend way more time on the forum than I do so that they can pronounce themselves to be knowing of what they are talking about.

Go back and read the banter between Con and myself about the KB statements too bud, never said it wasn't good to slot the power for KB, just said most peeps that know how to avoid the KB altogether and you may as well get the most bonuses out of that power. I'll even drop it to you like I did your boy Con. Get a /Nrg dom and show me how its done. It better be a earth/nrg because stalagmites will be the only thing that could save you.
