    As far as the big 3(4ish) knockers go heres the breakdown:
    Power---- Needed protection
    Levitate - 35
    Powerpush/thrust - 40
    Force Bolt - 45

    Outside of DR works differently but I doubt anyone will be playing that much until they give a No Global Resist button in the arena...
    Wow, that seems like alot!

    I have
    2 x Zephyr
    3 x Karma
    1 x Gladiator Armour Set.

    Yet Forcebolt would still knock me back o.O is this right??

    After a year

    You need some sort of Hold or Immob with Kinetics, otherwise your gonna find it hard to keep in range of moving opponents.

    I suggest Web Cocoon from Mace Mastery Patron pool or Soul Storm from Soul Mastery so that after holding you can nip in to use targetted Aoe self buffs like Transfusion and Transference, the animation on Soul Storm means that even players with KB res will be on the floor and spend time getting up, time you can use to self buff.

  4. Generally not PvP fixing examples but here are comments on those that need it.

    Stalkers (yes the beaten dead horse topic of the OP AT)
    Remove interrupt on AS
    HELL NO !

    Quote:
    However when a player is struck by AS he is granted an immunity to any AS for 10 seconds
    AS decay would be better

    We all hate the elusitivity nerf, I say increase it by 5% to a total 15%
    YES YES YES ! or more, Def needs love

    Quote:
    Reduce damage of Spirit Shark by 50%, reduce end cost by 1, and Cast time by 1 second, increase range to 100
    Reduce the Dmg + Crit chance, Stalkers are supposed to be a Melee AT. ! ! Fotm Sharks need nerf, big time!

    Quote:
    Doesnt seem to be that way, do you play on Freedom? Because every stalker there even the one not fully Ioed out, seem to have no problem killing just about anything but a well build tank or regen scrapper with just an AS and shark crit
    Totally Agree

    Quote:
    I fear when going rogue comes out it will just be stalkers invading zones on both sides, PVP will become even more stupidly broken, not to mention boring.
    LoL, will be nothing but stalkers, no one can see anyone else, all on /hide Zones will have 150 stalkers in them and no one will know it.

    Quote:
    I would even go as far as suggesting that Brutes had their survivability toned down a bit, with the way it is, they have Tank surviability and better with some builds, and the damage of a scrapp
    Also agree, brutes are meant to be scrappers with more hp.

    Can I also add my own gripe??

    NERF Heat Exahustion >.< blinking 1 hit kill button for melee AT, or fix it so that Geas recharges at the same rate!
  5. Hey guys I am making a fender for Zonal PvP, now KB in zones is a killer.

    Can anyone tell me how much Kb Res I will need to be protected from it before DR takes affect so that I have enough after DR... If that makes sense....

    For example at the moment my build has -23Mag Kb res, what will this protect me from when in RV ?

    any more info Re: this that you think can help pls post
  6. I have a sonic fender, dunno why people don't use them as much...

    But least used would have to be Trick Arrow, any other TA that you see are
    usually trollers looking for more control.

  8. Well ty Silit, that was a nice response...

    I have actually thought for a while about tranferring 1 account to the American servers, any ideas how I would get onto Freedom? Can I toon transfer? or would I need a new account?

    We are probably debating while thinking about 2 different experiences.

    If what you say is true and the fightclubbers are like that I can imagine that it would be very frustrating.

    lol btw Tokyo, anything that stands in the way of farming should be banned. I have had many a warning because I get too "passionate" about defending farmers :P

    Kry0s, em.... try to stick to the grain of the post perhaps... If the tone lightens are people are not shouting and blazing at each other its silly to post something like go QQ emo kid.

    Anyhow, what I'm saying is... I'm gonna try get to your Rv, It may even sway my judgement on the topic, who knows.
  9. But still, why do you want zones emptier than they are?

    FCP will cause players to flee zones rather than engage in PvP,
    You may get another 1% of a drop, or, you may just alienate a player
    that would otherwise have participated, so 20 mins vs career in pvp?

    For the sake of 20 mins(max) i'd rather zones were populated.
  10. Neuronia, I agree that is stupid. Maybe the calibur of duels stateside from here on union are different, that scenario would wind me up to as one of my main toons is an Ill/Emp.

    Smeghead, I see what you are trying to sarcastically say, but if it were my choice you couldn't get me to arena if you tried. Dunno what it is but I hate the place, I don't PvP anywhere other than Rv.

    If you are really looking for a serious non-slinging-back-and-forth debate on the matter of interupting fightclub duels, I'd actually welcome it.
    You got it, i'd welcome that too.



    Fightclubbing only effects the ones that are involved, if they left the zone to PD the zone would be empty, why not allow the 2 or 3 mins duel for the sake of a busy zone.
  12. There is nothing silly about putting a bully in their place.

    So you don't like duels, how about you get over it and stop joining childish clubs that aim to cause distress in a community that is there simply for fun.

    I can see the main problem here is that for a duel to commence it relies on honour and repsect from other players to allow it.

    Perhaps "the figh club police" just lack those 2 virtues.
  13. Sorry I don't reply as fast as you guys, but I will ofcourse try to answer the comments you have made.

    Try reporting one of the FC police for interrupting a FC duel and see what happens. Here, I'll save you the time... nothing at all. They arent doing anything wrong and there are no rules against it.
    You missed my point, I am not saying do not attack people in Zones. I am criticizing the rallying of troops to activley go out your way to harrass players. The part of the EULA I am referring to has to do with conduct. I understand you think I am condoning fight clubs, but that is not what I am doing. The point I am making is that Silit should not be promoting a greif squad to pick on certain players that annoy him. You wouldn't like it if the tables were turned, for example everytime you want to do a TF there was someway that another player that for some reason it annoyed could actively disrupt it. I know there isn't but my point is the same.

    My statement about double standards wasn't random at all. I was refering to how interupting fightclub duels is just as much allowed as having them, and how you seem to hastily defend the latter by scorning the first.
    Ofcourse it's random, how on earth can you call that double standards... I tell you what I will on this occassion I will educate you. Double standards would be~ Me scorning the fact that you interupt duels, and then going into Rv to interupt a duel. Try to think a little harder before you backup a statement that was obviously flawed in the begining, If I were you I would have let that one slide and hope that no-one else noticed. p.s. I am not saying do not fight people in Zones, my point is that you should not be rallying people to actively harrass other players. You are basically inciting hatred.

    The topic wasn't "my treatment of other players", either. This thread's topic was the establishment of the Fightclub Police - I would know. However, I can cover your topic pretty quickly. Treatment of other players: My treatment of other players as enforced by the fightclub police amounts to no more than attacking other players while they are in a said PvP zone. Fightclubbers do the same thing, but under their own made-up and fictional set of rules.
    Call it what you like, sugar coat it as much as you want... you are still actively promoting harassment of a minority group of players. lol, infact Hitler thought he was right too. Consider that.

    No. Let me correct you. You made four ultimatums; the most evident being the implication that my account be terminated. Here is an ultimatum from me to you: Either you can't count, or you don't know what an ultimatum is.
    More educating required... An ultimatum is a demand whose fulfillment is requested in a specified period of time and which is backed up by a threat to be followed through in case of noncompliance.

    I think you refer to the statement ~ Sorry but the only thing that should be interrupted is the access on your account.

    Which if you look closely has (1)no demand, (2)no request of fufillment, (3)no prediod of time and (4)no threat.
    So learn the meaning of the words that you use, or stick to the ones that you know the meaning of already !

    While I am not well versed in giraffe customs, neither of your posts would be considered politely worded in our human culture.

After all, you are typing with hooves and not thumbed hands - and it must be pretty hard to see the screen with your neck being 15 feet above your desk.

    Actually, you coming from Union should know that fiteclubz concern anyone who likes "OPEN" PVP. Fiteclubz destroy the zone and ultimately result in half the zone logging off in boredom.
    Wrong, "fight club" style duels on Union usually form from an imbalance in the zone, which is much fairer than a repeating gank squad.

    Quote:
    Soon as the first retard BC's "hero/vill lf Duel meet on Trainstation" you can tell the zonal pvp is about to stop. As all the other sheep stop PVPing to go watch and take it in turns to take on the retard. Yelling at anyone intrupting.
    Firstly please keep the insulting terms to yourself, they are neither appreciated nor do they contribute anything to the debate. As for the suggestion that players would rather watch a duel than PvP themselves is unlikely hence why I said spectators only usually form when the PvP is unbalanced.

    People will then start logging off due to inactivity. Then the good "INTENDED" pvp that was happening will finish.
    lol btw @ this ^^ people who log into an empty zone because duellers are forced to PD will not stay, however upon seeing people in a /whoall search will encourage them to stay

    I salute the fiteclub police. Its about time they started patrolling Union RV.

    I mean how frikin hard is it to type "/ac Lf Duel im a retard so no insp meet in PD" ?
    Again PD full = empty zones, hence no zonal pvp.

    As a detective, I am very familiar with these types of posters, and naturally, the methods for dealing with them. Observe: "The Giraffe technique".

    Hey, kid with the really long neck, you are a giraffe. Go back to the savannah and pretend that the spots on your hide actually function as camoflage (They don't, because you are 18 feet tall and stick out from your surroundings like some dumb forum poster with a really long neck).
    Oh lovely another random metaphor, maybe you should take a break from trying to put people down and making yourself feel superior. This is a game, games are meant to be fun... I find it funny that you pay a monthly fee to interrupt other players fun.

    There must be something really wrong with you for you to do that, seriously...
    But heh, that's what the EULA is for, protecting giraffe's like me, against bullies like you.


    Have a great day,

    This may sound like all fun and games - but don't be fooled - this is serious. With many of our senior officers no longer playing CoH, we are in need of new officers who are willing to effectively and enthusiastically perform the duties of a Fightclub Police Officer.

    These duties include, but are not limited to:
    - Conducting undercover investigations to discover the whereabouts of hidden fightclub duels
    - Relentlessly interupting any fightclub duels that take place anywhere in RV
    - Arresting and aprehending any spectators of fightclub duels

    We are not griefers. Our mission is to protect and serve. Fightclub duels are dangerous, and highly illegal.

    Please leave an application with a brief history of your law enforcement experience (In and out of coh) in this thread. Don't have any law enforcement experience? No Problem. We will consider you anyway.

    Once applications are submited, we will outline the proceedures for conducting arrests to the new cadets.

    Good luck to all prospective cadets that apply.

    "lets interupt others that are doing something that does not concern us what so ever"

    Sounds like you are looking for an argument, and to pro-actively cause distress to other players.

    This is the sort of attitude that turns people away from pvping.

    Imagine someon trying pvp out for the first time only to get met with this sort of treatment.

    Sorry but the only thing that should be interrupted is the access on your account.

    If you cannot enjoy the game without taking somone elses enjoyment you should not be allowed to play.
  16. I'm a Union player, and unless im on anything other than my Tank or Scrapper the stalker threat is very real, and very very annoying.

    But I guess it's all part of the epic fail that is the new pvp system.
  17. The whole stalker thing needs to be looked at, there is no fun pvping with a zone full of stalkers. The allowing of the stealth IO to stack with Hide + Stealth was a huge mistake !

    There are just too many things that are in the stalkers favour.. what other sets have this many boxes they can tick??


    Stupidly High Damage both melee and at range!
    Array of Heals,
    Capped stealth,
    3 Panic buttons,

    Stalkers have always been "easymode" but now they are just silly.

    At least before the IO there were builds that could hunt stalkers, every build should have a weakness and with stalkers I just can't see it.

    Best way to kill a stalker?
    Gank it! end of.
  18. Oh ok that's interesting, can the same be said for Heats?

    Otherwise you may just have convinced me to make a Bane for GR. :P

    If you want a stalker hunter i suggest Fire/Regen/Weapons scrapper.

    Take tactics, and targetting drone with a perception IO for Perc cap.
    Webnade + Caltrops
    DoT's to keep stalkers out of hide and regen to ensure your still standing when they start to run.

    However the thing about stalker now is they are stupidly overpowered hence why there are nothing but them in zones now.

    Hibernate, ?
    Phase, ?
    Moment of Glory?

    With almost every stalker having these at it's disposal the only stalker you are going to hunt and kill will be a very stupid one, or one that suffers from lag.

    Farm Exploit?

    [ QUOTE ]
    @Razor
    I'm all for letting people do what they want, heck to get the last influence badges you have to do some farms. However.
    Farming in itself generate more influence, yea you get more items to sell, however... Only those who farm themselves will be able to buy those recipes that has already skyrocketed far above that of the player population that do not farm.

    In example, when Purples was launched the typical price of a purple was 50mill or thereabout. Now the same purple, after the Devs launched I-14 City of Farm and Powerlevel.. whops...
    Now that same purple, after I-14, has dobbled or even become triple in price.

    I do not buy the general sentence "Farming helps the economy" or similar sentence that you promote.

    Now farming will be a part of any game, so we got to learn how to deal with it. I accept that farming is a part of a MMO's life.
    BUT
    And this goes to all the farmers out there.
    Please do not include the beginners into your farms, don't powerlevel them. Farm with friends and other farmers, please. Don't invite the new beginners (check them for their vet badges) or we will have a growing amount of players that only know how Atlas or (hopefully mercy/Port oakes) Cap au Diable looks like.
    After all you do want players to continue to play the game... and be possible customers for the recipes and salvage you put up on WW.. right (to use your argument).

    I wish to see the farmers back in PI (yes I do).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I always check vet badges and player notes before inviting peole to my farms, usually I just use my own accounts and that of a few select players in my SG.

    I am very impatient, so all my drops are sold cheap because I want the inf now, and every toon I IO I don't wanna type 250,000 and 300,000 over and over again so i tend to copy 550,000 and paste it into each one, meaning I pay over the odds for basic IO's just for sake of time and to stop me going nuts.

    So,

    I sell cheap,
    I Buy dear,
    I don't PL fresh players,

    and I will consider returning to
    PI very soon as i would like to start
    getting nice drops again.

    I don't think that's unfair at all, it's not like the vets haven't been at the 1 year mark... I waited ages because I wanted my Blackwand vet power.

    Worst. idea. ever. ... Giving people serious ingame advantages over others by making them pay for it. The cries of Doom errupting from the forums following this would make the world go deaf. And I'd be crieing right allong with them, so much even that I might forget to pay my subs.

    Passing enhancement slots out as vet rewards isn't much better.

    Don't see how this is relevant... Unless your talking about PvP I don't see how it would effect you, 1 player having more slots than another? If they are in your team, you may even benefit from it.

    No to "Pay for" enhancement slots, much as it may be NCSofts Marketing Departments wet dream.

    If they introduce new systems to earn Enhancement slots via gameplay fine. But "earning" them via a wallet is not the route I want this game to go (further) down.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    yeah the pay for it part wasnt a serious suggestion hence the " xD "

    But make anypower slots available through different badges, for example..

    You get 1 extra enchament slot from...

    Vet reward, 12month, 24month, etc etc
    Another Accolade available same as accolade powers are now.

    or they could be used as rewards for playing content the devs want you to play..

    *500 hrs spent PvPing.
    *Special reward for recognised Arc in architect system by Developers
    *You have been fighting crime for a total of 5000 hours
    *You have hit the 500 badges marker

    Things like that, everything is a suggestion but you get the jist of the idea... nice reward for things that everyone can do.
