Lol both ones require skill, but when you are fighting in a pvp one (( that i do alot )) is just varies when your in a zone, if your with a group of 8 heroes, fighitng lets say 16 villains? you have to use your tactics, and surroundings as your advantage, ZONE pvp requires alot of skill, expecially when you are outnumbered.

Arena pvp, is where the big pvp is, so yes, you have to have 'alot' of skill if your going to have regular pvp there. but its alot more straight forward and less tactical

Cheers

Indeed, alot of people make this mistake, and waste ALOT o money, and only use photoshop for art, while you can get a better art system for your needs, cheaper, and less confusing.

Here..

And here.

And here.

I think the mistake people make with painter 9, and photoshop is this..

Photoshop isnt just for illustrating its for photo editing
Vector graphic designing, logo's etc.

People look at painter and think..its for painting using oils, watercolours etc, therefore it doesnt use the tools required for Comic colouring etc. just very realistic style
work.

to be honest swissy, for its price, its better for this kind of stuff, because it focuses just on 'ART' photoshop is £500 for a reason, and thats because its good in so many 'OTHER' ways..painted has it all for art, blenders, airbrushes, soft brushes, All the stuff you would need for all kinds of work.

Dark has many advantages, but TA is just as effective.

Yeah well, more for the colouring, i have seen it done in painter 9.

The lasso, i just find that as a way of selecting an area without your brush interrupting any other area's, all you have to do is have your lineart layer selected to multiply, then work from your bottom layer and it doesnt disrupt the lines one bit.

In comparison to dark, yes.

I wouldnt agree, a TA mastermind played correctly could take down any AT

Depends on who your pwning 1 on 1 :P

Yeah SS is cool, i dont mind SS/FIRE either, stone melee can pack a nice punch with build up, the tihng about SS is, its not a build up - 3 hits, then your back to doing no damage, your always doing a nice amount of damage, and KO blow is the ultimate, kill teh squishy attack

TA!!! BADD!!!??? ON A MASTERMIND!!??? well for pvp, no, and i dont think it is for pve either, next time you see a scrapper try this, its simple, bring him into melee with oyu, carry a few respites if possible, incase he lands you a critical, when he is close, use your glue arrow..its auto hit so u won't be gambling. Ok now back up out of his range. and send in your pets. and watch him die..unable to escape

Hello.

I got painter 9 some time ago and ive just started using it, i got to say im learning pretty fast, but still have much to learn, i have been trying to locate a painter a guide for a super hero/cartoon kind of style, bt i cant seem to find one. So if anyone knows any guides (( doesnt have to be painter 9 but it would help )) for digital super hero style art it would be awesome!

Thanks!

Tbh, if the Dev's organised more PvP events like S4 (although I wansn't here around then, but have heard of it which really intruiges me), then I think more people would be inclined to stay on, and the mass movement to the US that happened wouldn't of.

Spot on, I noticed when after the s4 tournie, alot more people started using the arena, it isnt all that bad, and ok..it needs fixing. but if you go to somewhere like guild wars, you will see the diferance in the arena systems, and how more adanced the CoH one is.

Like what jum said...if the devs bothered to do more with pvp, maybe not everyone would of moved to the US, now i see NO arena pvp what so ever, its stupid.

So if the des aren't going to do anything looks like the players are going to have to AGAIN.

Then maybe we should start up some more events, and start lettig bridger know, get some support from them, ad maybe some good event rewards

Well yeah, post is based around (( 'Devs' and pvp Events, and that they hardly host any ))But i did also say about the PVP on EU Just about Dead.

Nothing wrong with that! That requires great skill to master!!!

HeHe i know jum, but these kind of thing 'are not' needed, but the thing is with pvp on EU is, it is dying...and its a big element of online games

Hello.

Been playing this game for hmm 17months now..18 in november most of it, i have Pvp'd Zones, arena, etc the thing that annoys me is that and iveonly seen 1 pvp event hosted by the devs and that was the S4 tournie, instead they insist on, a rock paper scissors tourny...Why is it always us players setting up the pvp event...squished...3vp..warburg weekly raid..etc, i tihnk the city of heroes staff should think about hosting more pvp events..with rewards


I have also noticed a dramatic downfall in pvp on the EU servers, and i have heard rumours of most of the arena pvp SG's moving to the US.

I shall be bringing my one man army...Coston

Unlucky, i remember the cov beta event and sending Backalley brawler tons of trashtalk tells, so he ran out me and shouted 'Come here little one' and Ko blowed me >

Rofl, tihnk back to cov beta when we were loud mouthing and chasing each other around the rogue isles slapping, apart from you could fly, xD so that was an advantage :P

Been testing myself on drawing super heroes on painter IX, Feel welcome to leave a comment! HERES! my attempt

Hey,

Just a quick picture of Coston drawn into painter IX with a tablet, and also coloured using painter IX, tell me what you think

Click

Lol because yesterday i wasnt so sure if to go for those two, thats why i asked your opinions.

You won't be beating any good tanks or scrappers at range imo


[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah exactly, you cant be a good pvp blaster without energy, and you cant win a scrapper or a tanker with a range based blaster, thats what i called unbalanced pvp, and thats why Energy is so fotm, because its one of the only things that a blaster can pvp with, anyway thanks for the tips, but i realy don't like sonic, its nice, but the animation bores me alot. I want to choose between fire or ice,

Hello,

Since Costons hit 50, i have been a litle bored stood around in atlas, and i want to start leveling another hero up,i have been wanting to lvl a blater for a couple of months, so ive come to the decision to make one, so he's going to be made for pvp, 'NOT a blapper and NO melee' (( yes i know, it sounds tricky already )) He's going to be designed for 1 v 1, scrapper and and maybe tanker beating, I want him to have fly, some nice range, and use plenty of -slow powers, so i was thinking ice, as the secondary,Ok so that sounds good, next decision was his primary, i thought about AR, people say its [censored], i know. But it has a nice snipe and osme decent range, including ignite and combined with icepatch, it wouldnt be to bad, then i thought of fire, hmm the most powerful snipe in the game including aim, so i can pack more of a punch, hmm what do you guys reckon?

Ar/Ice rocks end, combined with all the slows, the ice patch - ignite AND thel ong range its beautiful, I would go for flight or maybejust hover, but flight would offer you more flexibility, because most people do have SJ, so will easily be able to reach you, so i would personaly go with flight, maybe stacki the slows, using chilling embrace, ice sword, etc. then going into flight, using snipe, and your long range as the advantage.

Hey, just thought id drop this by, i got a new image program today,named xara, so as i started experimenting, i realised i was learning at a pretty fast rate, so i thought i would have ago at scanning then colouring in the drawing of my new upcoming blaster, Swift Fox, it took me about 2hours, and this is my first attemp, it is HERE

I hope you like!
