Changes the EvilGeko would implement (But the devs probably won't):

1) New Server - Conflict - Full on PvP server

Mob spawns are very limited outdoors. All zones except Mercy, Atlas, Port Oakes, Galaxy, King's Row, Pocket D and RWZ are hero v. villain PvP. (Warburg can stay FFA)

Longbow creates bases for heroes to hospital/sell/etc. in the Rogue Isles.
Arachnos creates bases for villains to hospital/sell/etc. in Paragon City and surrounding isles.

People have to pay to transfer there, but for a short time, the cost is halved.

2) Different PvP powers ruleset

Having a separate server allows for a different ruleset. Balance the game for PvP. Leave the PvE server's PvP alone. If you stay there, then you accept that PvP isn't balanced and no whining about it should be considered seriously.

Werd...

Well, since MMOs are all about timesinks I don't really see your point heh.

Personaly, I am all for loseing the knockback and immobilization protection and getting either a +regen or a self heal added to the set somewhere. Just my opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]I second that, I certainly can live with CJ+Acro.

[/ QUOTE ]

Amen to that....

Besides the fact that /EA brutes have had it for what 7 months or so now heh. /shrug to me it only drained about 15 to 20 percent (if that) of someones end bar. Used at a crucial time it is deadly thats for sure though heh. Personally I love the power and its one of the main reasons I am taking the set.

Today was such a blast on RV. The only toon I had taken there before this event was my EM/EA brute and was less than thrilled. Aim + buildup blasters and FA Scrappers killed me with ease. Funny how I couln't hit bubbled defenders, controllers, or elude scrappers today with any of my toons including a Dark/Dark Stalker running fully slotted tactics, buildup, and 3 slotted ACC in all attacks. HUH? Those need looking into. I didn't hit the bubblers once, and only hit one of the elude scrappers twice. Not good!
I then rolled an Elm/Ela brute and color me unimpressed. ELM just isn't very good for PVP.
So, I rolled an EM/ELA brute and WOW! Tons of fun. Hate the crash on the tier 9 but actually got quite a few kills. Fix Fury in PVP and this build will be a beast!
Next I rolled an Ice/Cold cor since that's the PVP build I'm working on in live right now, and that just flat out sucked. Mezzed, Dead, Mezzed, Dead. I didn't get 1 kill. but it will get better with breakfree's in the mix.
I'm also trying to level a Fire/Fire dom(it's so painfully slow and frustrating) on live so i rolled one to see what it'd be like in the higher levels. Whoa! Tons of fun for PVE! Killed quite a few Wardens without dying. Time to go try it out against the Heroes. 9 deaths and no kills later, i gave up. Still I can't wait to play it at higher levels in PVE.
All in all, load of fun today.
I'd like to see these changes:
No debt from NPC's in this zone, the 1 hp, 1 end penalty is bad enough.
Kill insp usage in PVP, it was SOOO much better today without them. Keep breakfree's but just limit us to a tray of 5 or something to keep them from being abused. (just a suggestion don't flame me for it).
And finally make elude and PFF hittable when using 3 acc, 3 to hit BU and 3 to hit tactics. With all that I should be able to hit maybe 50% of the time instead of never.
Oh, and loved the near unkillable tanks, man, granite tanks rock.

You kill breakfree's and you might as well not even let squishys enter the zone. No, squishy will even enter the place. Breakfrees are what allow squishy ATs to even compete... Only allowing 5? No thanks....

Has anyone been able to deduce the actual defense numbers from Scorpion Shield?

[/ QUOTE ]

Curious myself...

yup SJ and teleport here also...

Very good point about the heroes having access to -jump also. All I know is, if they change this crap after it hits live, I am gonna be fuming heh. It's one thing to change a power that can be respecced out of. But something you are stuck with will hurt.

Btw, anyone happen to find the numbers on the shield yet?

Oh the dreams I have of sneaking up on a huddle of heroes engaged with another group. Dropping the web, snow storm, aim, sleet, heat loss and blizzard. Oh my, I am giddy with joy...

Aye, I think something might happen to it. However it's not really fair if it does. I mean you can drop someone out of fly very easily and keep them out. You can slow superspeed to a halt. The only one you really can't is teleport. It's the amount of players that have super jump (or rather combat jumping and hurdle) that I am worried about. That will lead to a huge amount of complaints.

My fear is that it does have AoE -jump. And someone will complain too much and the devs will change it. Leaving us with a crap patron and no way to respec out of it...

Because, quite simply, not everyone is a min maxer. And they don't worry about such things.

My one and only problem with working very hard to be able to afford a decent base is................ If you get raided at some point ALOT of that work can be thrown out the window when your gens, control, defeneses get destroyed.

That right there will just kill any sort of raiding for any sort of casual SG. My SG is somewhat casual, we have about 8 active members. We have atm, 1 workshop with one bench, 1 power room with 1 generator, 1 control room with a mainframe and database, 1 infirmary with one reclaimator, 2 teleport rooms with 3 porters total. All around a decent size base and we are moving alittle quicker then I expected actually. The problem is if we ever decide we want to raid alot of that can be destroyed. I mean it could literally set back months of work...

Discouraging the content is not a good thing...

Was a great time really. Stalkers werent the huge problem everyone was saying. All in all things seemed pretty even and fair really. Heroes banded together and used their strength (defense) Villains were pretty unorganized but it was a hootin time.

The lag was the worst. Even being a squishy corruptor like I was, I didnt really die that much. End seemed to be a real issue for me though. I was Ice/Kin (no transference at that time) so ice is end heavy I knew that.

I am really looking forward to live now after that event. Let's hope people dont go whine crazy. Sure I got killed but brushed off my tights and got back into it. It's all in good fun. If its no fun for you, dont, well.... just dont reply heh.

I can throw in Stoney, Sing or Phants. My question is how do you plan on buffing the pets damage? everyone respec into assault? or forts?

My earth is /emp so can fort.

Gee maybe flash was already used and recharging?

As for spec terror, It has saved my team on a few occasions. But I still wanted a change. This change they are proposing now that I think about it more just might make it lots worse heh (hard to imagine). I am not a fan of scatter simply because my character already creates an enormous amount of scatter and any more is just not needed heh. However as an oh crap button it did do that job semi ok, except that half of them run far enough away and pull out a gun hehe.

Thank you for proving how inferior it is to every other fear power. Would anyone else care to offer anecdotal evidence to support my position?

The irony is that I used the power more on the respec trial (that I was using to get rid of ST) then I had used it in about 10 lvls heh.

[/ QUOTE ]

Again, it performs this power less sucessfully than fearsome stare, terrify, or the presence pool fears.

[/ QUOTE ]


Hehe I never said it was more useful then any of the other fears. Actually I agree with you. I was simply stating my opinion on the power as it is on live server. Try quoting someone that is arguing againest your point...

I just respecced out of ST not because it was useless but because I just didnt have room in my build for a power that would see such little use. The irony is that I used the power more on the respec trial (that I was using to get rid of ST) then I had used it in about 10 lvls heh.

Thank you for letting us know what is going on with ST. Maybe we could get an explaination as to why it took 3 weeks to post anything about it. And why it was changed with the 1/18 patch with no notes about it at all.
