I spent quite some time in Siren's last night on Defiant, as a hero. In the beginning the sides were pretty much the same numbers, the hero side being slightly outnumbered and consisting of a couple of scrappers, a tanker and a couple of blasters. We held our own pretty
well, but the sheer number of stalkers made it very hard. There were at least as many stalkers as there were heroes combined, plus a small asortment of other villain AT's (iirc there were one dominator, a corruptor and a brute).
It is very hard to get anything done when every time you attack you are standing still long enough to be AS'ed, and every time you get AS'ed there's AT LEAST two stalkers doing it, so there is NO WAY you can survive, even as a scrapper. I say this was pretty evenly matched, because it was the most matched fighting that happened all night.
After an hour or so, the heroes numbers hadn't changed, a couple people leaving due to the severe number of stalkers, and a few new faces coming in, but the number of villains had increased drastically. At this point there were 5/6 heroes, 6/7 stalkers, three MM's, a couple of dominators, corruptors and brutes. The hero side being horribly outnumbered we were pressed back into the base, with the entire cadre of villains hanging around within a couple hundred meters of the hero base. Every time we tried to break out of the base we got summarily ganked by every single villain in the zone, everyone of them wanting to throw a punch at the heroes. This is in my opinion bad enough conduct in it's own right, but then the gloating and the bragging started, the villains obviously thinking themselves teh ubar PvP'ers for bein able to keep us in the base. After a death there would be several villains gloating over the kill and standing around dancing on the corpses.
after a while, a couple of us heroes would try sneaking out and falling on the villains from behind with stealth and/or invis running, but as the stalkers get their +perception skills there were NO WAY we could have a hope in hell of surprising them. It was so bad after a while, when I stopped to attack a seemingly lonesome villain, I had FOUR [4] stalkers surrounding me in the AS position. Now it goes without saying that me being a blaster, only one or maybe if I got lucky, two of the stalkers actually got in their AS before I was dead.
And still the villains kept up the gloating, name-calling and "corpse-dancing". Is it really considered a good kill when 5 people manage to take down a single blaster? It sure seems like it, because the only villain in the whole zone that didn't participate in this was a corruptor called Dearch. Dearch, I salute you for your honor in PvP, cos there sure as [censored] isn't any other villains showing any.
And I am not exaggerating when I say there was between six and eight stalkers in the zone at the time. In the end, this was TWICE the number of heroes COMBINED. Now, the question I have is, if the stalkers are so lousy as all the people who play stalkers want us to believe, why the hell are there so many of them? The only answer I can come up with is that they ARE INFACT massively overpowered, and thus every NOOB villain is going to choose one, because they are so incredibly easy to get kills with.
Anyways, why is it generally accepted that people behave like spoiled children? Why is ganking accepted? What the hell has happened to common courtesy? Bad behaviour in PvP seems like the norm, and not the exception. Why isn't there moderators in the pvp zones when there OBVIOUSLY should be?
I used to pvp a lot, but when the new players found out how easy PvP becomes once they roll a stalker, the stalker population in the pvp zones exploded, and most of them being in my opinion BAD PEOPLE, I had no choice but to stop pvp'ing. I suffered severe withdrawals for a long long time, and finally this week I gave in and ventured into siren's again, only to discover that the problem isn't remedied, but has increased exponentially.
Ok. This probably doesn't happen every night, but it has happened three out of five nights I've been in there this week alone.
