Ok i was thinking i could drop Frozen Aura and Frozen Fists... and take the team damage one and tactics for pvp, just make it a little easier and nice for a free ACC bonus. Would be nice for a little boost in damage and acc in PVP anyway!

[/ QUOTE ]

Ugh, you'll have pretty bad End anyway on Fire/. I'll sling my build up for Extremus later for you, it works pretty well in PvP too, even though it's designed for PvE.

I'll bring my Kheldian

[/ QUOTE ]

You don't have a Kheldian.

[/ QUOTE ]

You don't have a Sonic/Sonic Defender... oh shi- *flee*.

Seriously though, I am also bringing Mesmer's Kheldian.

I SEE WHAT U DID THAR!

O RLY?

Which server are you on?

Chances are we're not at Memorabilia now, but I still suggest a grace period after I8 hits.

[ QUOTE ]
Any chance we can push this back like a week? Me and Extremus are going to Memorabillia the next day so we'll be unable to attend on the friday.

[/ QUOTE ]

Also, here's the thing, after other PvP events near Issue Releases, I'd like to wait a few days to see if anything breaks on Live and have it hot fixed.

The last issue stalled 3vP for so long it actually never got finished.

[ QUOTE ]
Yes, the MM weakness is highlighted because of the spawn bug allows spawn point camping which takes the fight out of the whole raid. I had forgotten that actually, thanks extremus for reminding the biggest flaw in current base raids.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a joke, it takes one runner to cover a reasonably large Base. Soon as the Spawn is spotted, the Defenders can set up a gank-o-matic.

Oh it's going to be fun in our Base Raid.

It'll be easier for things like MM's to slip in and set up when they fix the sodding spawn point bug. There's supposed to be a number of different, random spawns, not just one being picked and kept for the entire team over the entire fight.

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks!

Sorry forgot to mention this is for a hero team.

[/ QUOTE ]

PARAGON DEFENDERS!

In all seriousness, any team heavy on support is a good thing. I'd probably go two or three blasters, two or three support. Kin, Emp, Sonic, Rad etc...

Up and away: @Extremus

Ready for PvP and modding. And more PvP.

[ QUOTE ]
I have no toons on Defiant. I wouldn't mind seeing why you call Defiant the PvP server though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because if you call something the "whatever" server long enough it might catch on.

[/ QUOTE ]
Worked with Union and Roleplay.

[ QUOTE ]
Respect's one thing, but I think asking other people not to PvP in a PvP zone's quite another.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not asking them not to, merely asking them to delay their PvPing until the AV was defeated. As I said, we ALL said we would happily PvP with them once the AV had been dealt with.

As I said previously, I only partially agree with the OP - yes, when in a PvP zone you should expect to get attacked by other players. Fine, I'm down with that and will happily 'get my hands dirty' and join in. But when asked but someone to not kill them for a few minutes while they do something that takes a considerable amount of time and effort to orchestrate, it seems to completely DISRESPECTFUL to say 'No, you're in a PvP zone, I will kill you ' over and over again....

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't see anything wrong with it, it's part of the Zone. The RV AV's are there to back-up the losing faction, and taking them down or taking pillboxes are supposed to alter the Dynamic of the zone, so people make take afront to that.

However, since they don't seem to debuff/buff damage/resistance, I view all that PvE rubbish as a bit of a silly idea in a PvP Zone. They're really not there for anything but badges, which is bad. Nice idea, bad execution.

Defiant, blatantly. It's the PvP server!

In all seriousness though, it was much fun, especially with Xanthus screaming at us on Teamspeak.

[ QUOTE ]
There is no more PvP, there is only, THE CAGE!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

And suddenly, you sound like Xanthus. =o

You can get out the Cage in to the top part of Monkey Fight Club, so it's not as small as it looks.

[ QUOTE ]
I think The Paragon Defenders may be interested, lemme have a check on our Salvage levels later.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have just sent you a PM m8!

[/ QUOTE ]

Replied.

[ QUOTE ]
Only with DoT, but /energy has no DoT afaik

[/ QUOTE ]

Energy attacks tend to have both energy and smashing damage components, if its this weird bug were talking about. Basically the oneshot shouldnt have happened.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I've been one shotted by Nova in the Arena before.

[ QUOTE ]
No AT can be 1 shot anymore in PvP

[/ QUOTE ]

Unless the attack you're hit by is significantly high and has more than one damage component.

IE; You can be one shotted by something like Inferno.

[ QUOTE ]
It is just easier to implement certain tactics to utilize certain AT/character strengths in the arena.. heroVsVillain tactics you could in theory used in Recluses victory as well.. Except they arent as crucial in zones as in Arena match. Without teamwork and premeditated tactics you have no chance against a proper PvP team in arena.

High lvl heroVsHero tactics can't be used anywhere but arena since heroes can't fight each other anywhere else..

Quite frankly I have found zones to be so devoid of challenge I don't play there with my blaster anymore (my main PvP character), if only the villains would stop leaving the zone after I beat them couple times..

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty much this.

I enjoy fast, frantic, challenging PvP. Don't really get that out of Sirens these days and Warburg is generally devoid of big action.

[ QUOTE ]
Generally, 1 instance of tactics and one other perception buff will see most stalkers from a reasonable distance, in my experience.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup.

2 +Perc negates Hide/Stealth from a reasonable distance.

One to see through Hide from various distances, 2 to see through Hide/Stealth with any reliability.

More the merrier though.

Woop woop!

We are teh winnarz!

[ QUOTE ]
Woah quote Pyramid made me dizzy there.


And no i'm not trying to say that whay I mean is, i'd rather not just sit there, i'd prefer to help rather than just stand around.

[/ QUOTE ]

We know. But, unfortunately, the current state of the netcode and servers means that bashing GM's en masse is a hindrance.

Can I just ask, why do we have a GM team now, when the initial idea was rejected?

[/ QUOTE ]

The idea of a public one was rejected for various reasons.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which was?

[/ QUOTE ]

Mob mentality. Plight Trawler is a close friend of the Inner Monkey and The Paragon Defenders. What's more, he's on Teamspeak, assembles the team only from those that we trust and is pretty much private about what he's doing where.

It is highly risky to have a forum organised team that may or may not broadcast about attacking GM's and then have some of the Hold group peeling off to deal with them or have mass attackers in the jelly. What's more, we can't be having with needing to send /tell's with lag flying around.

It's just too risky.

[/ QUOTE ]


I can see where your coming from, but, with all them spare tanks, scrappers and blaster etc. Just standing around wouldint it be good to give us something to do?

[/ QUOTE ]

This isn't just during the holdphase....it's during the whole raid.

And I have to admit I'm a bit tired of people saying they haven't got anything to do...the holdphase lasts 10-15 mins!!

[/ QUOTE ]

10-15 Mins of people doing nothing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Compared to the hour or so the Tank Team have or doing near to nothing, I say you get a good deal.
