Naw, I don't do lolfightklub. This is an open zone event. What I am going to do is randomly give out prizes for costumes I see that I like or if I just see someone wreck someone and make me giggle. I also plan on actually broadcasting targets randomly and giving out money for the kill shots as well.

This is tonight guys. We seen several new pvprs at Wednesday nights arena tourney. Zone pvp is way more casual and easier so I am hoping we will have lots of new people. Come on out, trick o' treat and maybe get lucky and even have some free influence/infamy thrown your way.

EVENT RULES

• Please Note: that the Arena terminal can be accessed via Menu -- Thus I don't really care where you are located. I will be using the Arena chat which can be seen by any player currently on the server and as long as you follow it you SHOULD know what to do. However, it is MUCH easier to communicate when you are in the same location as I (pocket d) along with a whole bunch of other stuff...

• This is a SHW Event. Levels 47-50 only.

• In the event of an odd number of players (not divisible by 3), random player(s) will take a turn receiving a PASS. No player will be allowed more then 1 PASS.

• All matches will be 10 minutes in length.

• All matches are required to leave Diminishing Returns enabled. This means that the "No Diminishing Returns" option is not to be selected. // simplified: DR is on...

• All matches are required to have Travel Suppression disabled. This means that the "No Travel Suppression" option is to be selected.

• All matches are required to have Heal Decay disabled. This means that the “No Heal Decay” option will be selected. // Yes, any kind of heal will hit for max all the time...

Any player is subject to random checks by the event host. Refusal to accept the trade or team requests by the event host will be grounds for immediate disqualification.

I feel as if I have Elkie cooties all over again.
You suck.

I got so excited because I don't believe anyone has ever sigged me before, then I realized you spelled my name wrong.

/crying nao

I was referring to the one and only one time I killed you in one of our arena matches when you went afk. I haz a screenshot of me sitting on your dead corpse. :-)

Pshh you go down easy. I have screenshots to prove it. :-)

Sadly its not about honor. It is about competition. There are only so many options. Win at winning or lose at losing. Your choice.

If you take pvp'n serious....... You invest in choosing an AT you think might Rock. You invest in leveling that toon up. You invest in doing some sort of build for it, be it SO's or commons or purples. Most likely if you pvp on a regular basis you are going to have some sort of special pvp build. Then you practice. You practice some more. Eventually you learn that pve and pvp are totally different. Your attack chain is different. The way you move is different. The way you handle your inspirations is different. Ohh wait you don't want to use them, but the guy you are fighting against does. He/she feels like if its in their tray and part of the game and not grayed out like something would be if it wasnt allowed then they want to have everything at their disposal to be the best they can be.

Having honor or integrity in pvp isn't about how you fight or what you use to fight. Its about your attitude and how you impact the people you fight with and against. Smack talking or being just nasty for no reason is fighting without honor. Using inspirations is just fighting the way the game intends you to fight, thats why they dont disappear or fade out from your trays when you enter the zone.

Lmao, are you kidding me? While Bud might be an ******* most the time the SG that he runs is full of very helpful and experienced gamers. Hell his head council is full of some of the best Vets this server has to offer. They are like so many other very active SG's on the server, they are always doing stuff within their own SG and teaming with their own SG that you won't see them on PUG's as much as you might some less active SG's.

YOur self imposed importance never ceases to amaze me. Refusing to team with entire SG's because you don't deem them to be good enough? JFC you are a koolkid. Please add LES to your list of SG's you refuse to team with, I don't want my guys to accidently get infected with your ****** cooties. While you are adding them to that list can you send me a list of what it is that makes you such a fabulous gamer compared to everyone else? I am thinking I need to improve my gaming skills because I don't think even after 4 years and 23 content leveled 50's that I am remotely good enough to look down at the masses like you do.

Ok I am going to sleep now, I am feeling grumpy.

I will give you a simple reason on why you should use inspirations. BECAUSE YOU CAN. So can everyone else, and they do. Where is the challenge in being dead? If the other person uses everything they have at their disposal such as inspirations, and you refrain then most likely you lose.

Its sort of like being in the army and going to war. You know your opponet is in a tank and you show up in a yugo. Not very smart, nor very likely to help you win.

On another note ty for the guide Scribe, is teh awesomesauce!

I have officially come to the conclusion that Championites are a fickel bunch. So I look at the whole rep thing for the first time and I notice some odd things. I got 2 negative reps and 3 gray reps (whatever they mean) when I was asking for forum help and being totally nice. Then I get all kinds of positive rep and people telling me kudos when I was being longwinded and slightly argumentative in one of Silas's buffer threads. Out of all of my rep only 3 people left their name. Sorry but this whole forum rep system is pretty retarded IMHO.

The one good thing I got out of it from all the rep I have received is apparently people enjoy when I am sarcastic and slightly bitchy and use words like ******* ***** ******** that have to be bleeped out. That is where 90% of my good rep votes came from. Makes me wonder why I put effort in to being nice when people seem to like the real me better. :-)

Lol. People really do that? How do you know when someone has given you negative rep?

And O.M.G. @ people taking forum posts serious enough to even give rep whether it be good or bad.


On a side note I have intentions of putting together an RV event as soon as my graphics card issues are solved and I am back playing the game again. Assuming my new graphics card which I got today solves my problems then I should be back as soon as I find the time to install it and my new ram this week.

I agree that SG's shouldn't be allowed to compete in their own events. However its their event and they can run it how they want to. She has made it clear many times their members will always be allowed to compete in their events. So anyone with a problem with it already has the headsup not to participate.

Ty for the complimant luv, not sure how high my morals are at times but still was nice none the less.

OMG hai thar Psy! :-)

Ping is a ******* genious. <3

I will say in response to Buds post there is one tiny thing I agree with. If the Devs left the AT's super powerful and equally overly powerful this would feel a little more like a superhero game. Not that I am complaining about how it is, but I would love to be able to pick up a subway car and throw it. Also to be on the receiving end of a big *** chevy being thrown at my hero toon and have it just bounce off their chest would be pretty cool too. :-)

That with a side of bad spelling and teh prestige sums it.

There was no exageration. Fireball has a 1 second cast time, firebreath takes 2.67, that is over doubled. So yes I can trow fireball twice in what it takes to throw one firebreath. Both have a 16 second base recharge time. Now the damage of course is not going to be doubled obviously because the base damage of firebreath is almost 40% more. So fireball thrown twice compared to one firebreath means only about 10% more base damage DPS. Now I personally think that is a bit skewed still due to the fact that firebreath is a cone which means to hit the max number of targets you have to fire it off from a measured ideal spot and how often shall you get that lucky?

With all those numbers being thrown out it doesnt change the fact that I never said firebreath was a wasted power. I used it as an example, along with jumpkick as a power that most deem as an inferior power. I also continued on to say my namesake has jumpkick as a concept build. I personally will typically do my builds based on my playstyle, which is very quick paced. No room for long animation powers unless they do some massive damage to justify that animation time to me. I also play all of my toons like a tank and already die enough without unnecessarily rooting myself any longer than necessary. Thats me though. If other people like it, goody. I am not a hater of teh firebreath and will agree it is a totally cool power if it fits in with your playstyle. :-)

There are a lot of awesome powers a kin can contribute to a team without having SB. HOwever lets be honest. SB on the 7 other players means some fast mad killing. That means whatever you are trying to complete will be done much quicker. Is it a necessity? No. But damn nice to have and something I would normally automatically assume someone playing a kin would have, definitely. (Not so much anymore, sadly).

I would never denigh any human being a spot on my team based on what powers they have or dont have. It would just be nice to have a headsup on certain key powers missing out of a build.

You should perhaps check the DPS. I can hit fireball twice in the time it takes you to hit firebreath once. Also a PBAOE or AOE is always going to trump a cone in my book. Amount of targets hit being determined by which direction you are aiming at just sorta isn't as hawt.

Personally I don't have firebreath on my toons, tried it, wasn't for me. I don't look at other people as noobs for having it. It was listed in my post as an example of one of many powers that the majority have deemed to not be that great.
