  1. I actually happen to like spiders and other things that most people fear such as snakes. I also used to have an Emperor Scorpion as a pet, which on a side-note also keeps its children on its back much like the wolf spider in the video does.

    I do however have an irrational fear of oversized catepillars! Especially hairy ones! I don't introduce them to the 2D world because they are overfilled with bodily fluids so I instead introduce them to my cat, who I then stay away from and refrain from allowing it to lick or touch me for about 72 hours.

  5. It would be cool to do that, but your screwed if you want a title.

    Incredible Battle-Hardened The CryoTech sounds very strange.
  6. No way, this is totally a Nemesis Plot!

    If everyone leaves their character on Auto Walk to go all the way across IP nobody will be able to stop him from ruling the world!

    However, there isn't anything I have seen yet that will ever steal agro from a well played Ice tank, since Ice Armor has 2 taunt auras (Chilling Embrace and Icicles)
    Which is why Ice Tanks are my fave =)

    Its also easy enough to Soft Cap the set with IOs, and Energy Absorption + Hibernate make the armor damn near indestructable!

    Well i was referring to Ion's post about how a "Body Slam" power would look odd when attacking something like a GM so i was referring to a way to allow it to make a little more sense, but you are right in that my post was merley facetious.

    Think about it...you might have a power, "body slam" let's say....sure that works on a Hellion (works as in looks right/etc) but...how do you use that power on...the Kronos Titan (the Giant Monster one...or any GM)? The animations just wouldn't be right (unless they did all animations for every creature that is bigger/smaller than the standard 6 foot tall NPC/mob).
    Lol what if they made the damage vary based on the size of the enemy? like 0 damage to a GM but 1-hit instant kill to something like a rikti monkey XD

    I should have been clearer as to what I meant in the previous post. I was referring to the part about you referring to them as close-minded. The only reason they would tell someone to reroll is because its already been done. Now I agree with you on a certain level that they should probably give more information as to why X build is a bad choice and why they should reroll, but I think for the most part this usually happens after the first few terse "Reroll to Y Build" posts.

    Now I know they can't possibly know all the Ins, Outs, Odds, and Ends of any build that comes to this part of the forums when they tell them to reroll, but again they are telling the person to reroll beacuse
    1. It's already been done
    2. To save you the waisted time on trying it yourself when their is probably a less than 5% chance you will find something they havent that makes the build a new FotM.

    And IMHO if you can't make more than 1/10 of your posts in every thread you post in be constructive w/o insulting people you shouldn't be talking either.

No one here's been whining, no one here's been cut-throat except for maybe a few players who seem to have it out for each other (that happens, y'know). As far as I can tell, this thread has been Dahjee coming in and saying "PvP is bad because you are all closed-minded, and you should all play this way," when "this way" has been tried and doesn't work well, at all. Maturity only goes so far in dealing with stupid people. If you can't understand that I'm sorry. Quite honestly I don't care about your opinion of me, nor anyone else's, so if you're trying to make me feel bad by insulting me, you should probably find a better use of your time (like coming up with alternative strategies that might actually work instead of theorycrafting when everyone else with experience is telling you it's been tried and doesn't work).

    For the most part what you just said in that post is true about how Dahjee has been acting in this thread, but your are wrong when you say "Maturity only goes so far when dealing with stupid people." if they are "stupid" as you put it than you should know they are not going to change their opinions no matter how many times you yell and try to force it down there throats(I'm not saying that you yourself did that Mac but their are people here who seem to think that this will work) and that the best thing to do is to just, point out where they are wrong, and leave it at that. If you are afraid that the same person will keep posting wrong information for new pvpers who come into the forums looking for help, then you simply post links to where they were wrong b4 kindly guide the new comer and leave it at that. Yes, I know I can't believe it's that simple either.

    As for me trying to make you feel bad by insulting you, I sincerely hope that is not how I came off as I am not trying to insult anyone in this thread. If I did I apologize, but to "find a better use of your time" as you put it, I'm trying to show everyone in this thread how ridiculous they are acting, in the vain hope that they can see it and maybe grow up a little.

    EDIT: oh and pvp actually has a bad rep because the majority of this game's players are tards and don't want to thiiiiiiiiink

    Just saying Mac, I thought that most of the people who post on these forums would be grown up and act mentally and emotionally mature. Not a bunch of whiney cut throat children. I may not post a lot but I have always kept track and read the forums and I have a lot of respect for you, but I had hoped you could be one of the mature people on these forums.

    Con, truthfully yall were the ones who came in throwing hate to begin with if you will simply look at black barrier's post above on page 1. The second Soul Touch comes in the thread yall immediately hurl insults at him. Dahjee came in and as far as i could see was trying to defend Soul Touch, then yall began to hurl insults at him too. Not defending Dahjee as I have read through much of this thread and he hasnt always been in the right either.

    But seriously, this is the reason pvp has such a bad rep, is when they see people like Black Barrier post in the pvp forums. Right off the bat in page 1! this thread was no longer good natured. I've seen some of Soul Touch's other posts and I know why yall are hating on him, but seriously grow up and get over it. Yall should have let this go a long time ago.

    To be fair, because im not just raggin on you con or black barier, you should have let it go to Dahjee.

    It's idiotic of all of you to turn this thread into what it has become.
    Grow up, so yall can kiss and make up

    Maybe they could make two versions of this. The one that everyone has access to could be a temp power that makes a random selection from the players list of unlocked gladiators, while the Vet reward version allows the vet to select the one he wants from his list of unlocked gladiators.

    The temp power version could be part of a future booster pack.

    .. I don't know many people who use gladiators for Arena. This may be a fun way to recycle the concept of earning combat pets.

    I personally like gladiator matches, but nobody glad matches. So their usefullness as of now is absolutely zero. We need something like this to make them at least 1/2 way useful from time to time. I would say make it where the pet always stays alive and zones with you unless you.

    1. Die
    2. DC/log
    3. Pet Dies

    But look, seriously kid. If you're looking to argue back and fourth with me all night on a forums, you're barking up the wrong tree. You obviously don't like me and frankly, I ain't too fond of you. Leave it at that and walk away, cause I ain't gonna bicker and all with you.
    I'll just make 1 other comment, I believe you that you didnt mean to intend harm on anyone but FWIW those are just the kinda jokes that you make in person face to face, not over the Internet on forums. Mainly because if its face to face, I can pick up on your facial expressions, tone of voice, and body language and see your true stance on the subject and that you are genuinely kidding. But I can't see you over the internet and tell wether your joking or not so its a little different.

    But no hard feelings I don't believe you meant anything by the comment.

    Bane or Crab?

    Neither TBH, the new pvp has made the VEATS not perform near as well as they used to.

    But if I had to pick one, I'd go with the Bane.
  24. /signed this is long overdue

    New pvp style

    I could see a lot of griefing going on with this system too, not unlike what we have in the arena but it still doesnt solve the problem of griefing.
