It was easy to get through Hurricane before the nerf with the myriad of ToHit Buffs available, but now it's just ridiculously easy. No reason to play my Storm Defender anymore.

AS nerf, placate nerf...looks like all the stalker nerf callers are getting their way.

That's why I quit playing my Stalker months ago. I knew the whiners would get their way, and now it's happened.

How about one publicly bragging about it on the forums here?

Where did you get bragging from? I was just telling a pvp story from siren's call. The only part remotely "bragging" would be saying that it was fun, which still isn't construed as such.

Definiton: brag (verb) - to talk with excessive pride.

You seem to talk alot of "I did this" and "I did that", which to me sounds like you're bragging. Not to mention this quote:

I'm obviously better than everyone in the zone so this is the only way I can have fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

But you sum it up best:

[ QUOTE ]
We suck at regular pvp, so this is the only way we can win.

[/ QUOTE ]

Personally, I would never be a part of a group of players that did this. It's cheap and doesn't show any skill when it comes down to a fair fight. I'd rather have my butt handed to me out in the open fairly, than before my screen even loads the game.

mwghost probably didn't mention this, but you should never take his comments seriously. For one thing, Tribute definitely does not suck at PvP. We've been extremely successful individually and as a group since the arena first hit the Test Server.

I'll hide back here and watch them kill folks as they try to leave. *Note* One girl has probably quit the game because of this. They were pretty rude taunting her telling her very graphically what they were going to do to her warm body as they repeatedly killed her after pinning her in the room with hurricane:

Names in the pics are Aeolus, Storm Angel, Johnny Priest, Mind Eraser, Omega Boost, St Jimmy, and a few others.

Damn that's disgusting. Makes me glad I transferred my characters out of Freedom. Are you feeling heroic now, boys?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know if that's supposed to be some kind of pathetic insult or not, but either way, I never felt heroic playing CoH and I don't feel villainous playing CoV. I play both games for other reasons, however.

Look, Anyone with tactics + IR goggles (ALL ATs can have that, most good PvP builds has a +perception in it), CAN see stalkers normally, double stealth or not.. WE stalkers could ask where the hell is our advantage if EVERYONE can counter our speciality so easily ?

[/ QUOTE ]

I wholeheartedly agree. If anything Stalkers should be asking for a buff in this area. Outie and I consistently enter Siren's Call and Warburg only to find out how easy it is for people to see us, and we’ve mentioned our distaste for this in the past. On several occasions I've used Hide in conjunction with Combat Stealth and many people (individually and teamed) can still see me, and the same with Hyper Stealth.

I've found that, in PvP, Hide alone is not of much benefit to me because it's far too easy for someone to use any combination of Tactics, IR Goggles, Clear Mind, Cloak of Darkness, Targeting Drone, etc. to completely negate it point-blank.

I'm not going to argue one-shot kills in PvP because I can understand it not being fun for my opponents. However, this Stealth versus Perception "arms race" is no contest. Assassins require the benefit of the shadows first, and my experiences prove that this is nullified quite easily.

This is one of the best ideas I've heard regarding the arena. I really hope they consider doing this.

Stacking armors.

If they go through with this I hope they increase our HP a little more.
