if you're admitting you put no thought into the advice you give and have been handing out copy/pasted replys to everyone the same... then take some responsibility for the staleness of PvP.

First where do I admit that. Second I would hardly say my advice is ever c & p. As usual I see you poke around spew out some crap about outside the box and never really help people. I on the other hand offer sound advice on how to get the best out of what people want and what the best options are to be successful.

You are helping to cause this as much or more than the Devs I hope you know. "The best is the best for a reason" you say... and go on to assume this is the goal of everyone who PvPs when its not that srs for all. Any Blaster set/set can hop around getting kills and drops and not dying in a zone and for some believe it or not.... this is perfectly acceptable.
|
I do nothing except work with the system given. It has nothing to do with me what that system is. If I did it would be far different. And yes any blaster can get kills. I play an ice dev and do far above what most would think it could do. Now would I recommend it to someone looking to roll a blaster for pvp, no. Would I give my build to someone who had one and share advice on how to play it well if they asked, certainly. This is the difference between me and you, I am honestly helpful you not so much.

You claim to know whats best when the best isn't required. You may PvP only in zone these days, but it still seems you've been 'arenafied' and beleive you're winning something by getting a kill or losing something by dying in a zone.
|
Winning is all there is. If I wanted to just play the game for chuckles I would stick to pve. And most people who can't handle pvp because of losing do just that. Yes on rare exception I may paint over that one guy who is looking for the fun. But for the most part people that seek pvp advice are looking to kill alot and die a little. Its the nature of the beast. Glad you found your niche of being 'effective' and thinking outside the box, don't think that its for everyone or even the majority for that fact.

I have nothing against farmers and PL'ers in PvE... but I doubt their voice could ever influence the whole PvE community.
|
Comparing mine or any of the other regulars in this section advice to plers helping out with pvp is a very odd and wrong analogy.

Again, take responsibility for how such an attitude of Min/Max can have a negative effect on the perception of PvP.
|
Min maxing is required to a certain amount. The way you think people should just load in and pew pew and have a good time. Truth is though joe pvper walks in zone on a toon that never gets kbed. He spends the next however long on his **** getting farmed because he doesn't understand how different pve and pvp are. Which one of us between me and you do think this gent should seek out for advice?
Quote:
|
Understand that such an attitude keeps a lot of people from trying it. You do want PvP to be better and include more people don't you?? Surely you can understand that we as players can affect such.
|
Wrong. Surely you should be able to understand this next part I say. I have said often. You can not ever make someone who doesn't have the drive to pvp into a pvper. All of these changes were made in this vein. Making so people died slower and seemed more competitive. The truth of it is regardless of the speed they die they still don't enjoy it. Its not in them. Its not the pvpers fault for this. Its not that players fault either. Certain people enjoy certain things. No amount of coddling and hand holding and spoon feeding can fix them. You either get the rush from it or you don't, simple as that.

Wow I really hope you're not that bad on your Grav/ toons. D-Shift saves lives son. Recall friend can also keep someone from getting spiked among many other Team provided tactics in a zone. Whatever though. /agree to disagree.
|
That I agree with, we obviously disagree. For the record I promise I know how to use d shift better than almost anyone else in zone. And recall me in zone, I will kick you faster than the brute without taunt.

Redefine Aggro Control. I did... why haven't you?
|
You didn't do anything, you provided an extra target. You are little more than phantom army in this case with slightly more ai. As for my aggro controls in zones I don't think I really need to worry about it. I have sent multiple zones on multiple server into a rage with my taunting. I have made people post on these very forums about how cheesy it is and rage about me. When you reach that level of aggro let me know.

and considering we ALL have to PvE our toons in order to PvP,

do we play the same game? Because that is not even close to true.

I beleive that each strength offers a counter to another AT's weakness in some way or form. This I beleive carries over into PvP by design.

I believe in santa claus. See what I am saying?

Honestly I think it'd be pretty interesting to see the dialouge and arguements made of what the optimal "no duplicate" team would be and what counters people would come up with. Surely it would add more thinking to the process than what is required when allowed to just stack more of the same with more of the same. Again if it's too much to ask then forget I said anything.
|
It would add to more ties and low scores. People play to win. Yes we get it you don't. We all know you are a 'special' case.

I've never lost in a zone Conflict have you? Sure we've died plenty sure... but what exactly did we lose. Please stop arena'ing in my Zone.
|
Two things, one its my zone. Not yours. Second I have won plenty and I also have lost. Its part of the game.
Quote:

lol. That would make me feel special. You should add the word fuzzy in there somewhere.

I should.

Sorry nope. You missed that point by a mile.

Oddly you seem to do that often. You should be happy I am becoming more like you.

Indeed ConFlicted... always a pleasure

Much like in pvp, you have no clue when you are losing.
Cheers.
You are still vulnerable to elec/ attacks. It does not have to be an elec/thermal. I have seen Elec/Rad corrs beat down /regens scrappers in duels mainly due to the end drain.
