lol. hence being a villain and killin some heroes.

Due to demand to have a zone event in the afternoon for people who cant make midnight pvp i have decided to try and do a zone event every sunday.

I will start this sunday, The 19th, in RV at 7ET. Hope to see alot of heroes and villians there.

any questions my globals are @Galactic Blaze @Galactic Revolution

Ice. I14 destoyed the only good thing in force (pff).

Defiantely take hoarfrost and hibernate.

i really starting to think its really just luck of the draw. i set up a couple of 30 min matches today and had 60 kills each (with 2 accounts) and also all the time i spent in zones since the release and not 1 recipe. but i hear of people getting abunch of drops already. a friend of mine has like 5 already and probably the same amount of kills i got.

I found the Shield Wall: +3res all, +tele res, and sold it... Only for 30 mil, now I know I could've got more, and that was in the first 10 minutes I played i14.

lucky [censored]

i use them on my troller, but i havnt tested this out yet. first chance i get i will.

arena to. off all player kills

[ QUOTE ]
I made a post asking if we could trade bounty for the pvp IO's but somebody then responded by telling me a pvp IO is about as likely as finding a purple...I gave up on trying to get them and went on to working the MA.

[/ QUOTE ]

idk bout that cause i had a friend that got one right off the bat (the first arena match between us). But i do know they are rare.

after alot of time in rv last night (which was the most fun ive had in a while) i didnt get squat.

[ QUOTE ]
Sonic/Devices blasters.

Yup, I'm ahead of the curve, I've been PvPing with one for 2 years.

[/ QUOTE ]

lol u know i was thinking of making a sonic/??? blaster. i was leaning torward ice, em, or elec in that order. I got a rad/sonic defender and love it

As the title says what do u think will be the new fotm in i14 pvp.

Im thinking rad emissions will make a comeback (or more of a hope) lol

what do yall guys think

[ QUOTE ]
I disagree

[/ QUOTE ]

and thats yu rright to. me personnaly i can stand the trash tal. i stuck through it for a long time to try and better myself to beat the ones doing it and i am probbly only half better. but i still try to better myself and have gotten alot of respect for it.

But in the same sense i got a rl friend that cant pvp at all because he cant deal with the trash talking. hes just real hot headed. (and i mean use to slam down mouses and keyboards because it got so bad) It really just depends on the person.

[ QUOTE ]
PvP isnt dead because of PvPers. In fact PvP isnt dead at all. You could argue its dieing and I would agree, but it has little to nothing to do with "PvPers" and more to do with the new changes to PvP driving the old schoolers out.

Think about it.

There are 2 kinds of people. People that loose and take it as a challenge to better themselves, and people that cant take loosing and rather then try to improve they cry complain and blame others for their shortcomings.

For the first type getting better and one day kicking the crap out of the people that once kicked the crap out of them is what keeps them PvPing. Its a reward in itself. For the other person, they dont give it a chance so rather then try to improve they give up and stick to PvE because PvP just isnt worth it for them. The only thing that would make it worth while is PvP rewards, something that is non existent (nukes and shivs dont count).

If I were to blame anyone for the lack of interest in CoX PvP I would blame the devs for not giving PvErs any real reason to PvP up until now. If they want people that have no interest in PvP to give it a shot, they have to tempt them with something (like the new IOs for example).

This "trash talking killed PvP" myth is stupid. If its really that big of a issue you can turn off enemy chat or ignore the people that annoy you. Ive been doing it for over a year now.

But when people say PvP is dead because of trash talkers, ETC. All I have to say is obviously you're not meant to PvP. I still to this day get ganked and trash talked too.

Only difference is I "LOL' at it, find a way to kill the trash talker and move on. Usually adding a "" right after I kill them. Oh how a smiley can really tick a person.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd say the trash talk that goes on in pvp zones has turned many people away from pvp over the years. If cross-faction chat wasn't permitted in the zones, you'd probably have more people fighting.

I don't think it's right to say that anyone who turned away from pvp because of the verbal abuse "obviously wasn't meant to pvp" being that the type of talk that bothers people really is not an integral part of pvp.

Players who might otherwise stick around, learn from their mistakes, and improve, can quickly sour on pvp when their first defeats are followed by harsh insults.

I don't know why any of this is difficult for folks to understand.

[ QUOTE ]
theres no way to stop the ppl from trash talking unless devs sit in zones and monitor it like a policeman at a intersection. its not going to happen

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, they could disable cross-faction chat in the pvp zones, presumably, but I agree that will not happen. That would improve the situation dramatically (though it would negative impact fight club).

That all being said, I get a lot of laughs from the broadcast banter, but most of it is just dumb and doesn't add anything of value to the game. I enjoy it but think the game would be better off without it.

true and true

agreed. and also what rei said. theres no way to stop the ppl from trash talking unless devs sit in zones and monitor it like a policeman at a intersection. its not going to happen. but if there is more then 1 person in the zone and only 1 of them is trashtalking then someone else could send a pm to the person and say dont get discouraged or something like that.

that pm could go a long way with a newcomer to the zone.

this whole thread is full of LOLs... but evil is right to an extent just like mac is right to a extent

zone is a zone, cant let a few bad apples ruin the whole pot. ur gonna get ganked. Just come back stronger next time.

But i can see how people can get discouraged to come back if the first time they came they are scourned for not being superior. and in the end dont we want more people to fight not take away.

good points all of ya

[ QUOTE ]
The weekly sewer hunt sounds great, and are there any plans to introduce something similar for villains?

There may not be a concentrated pile of foes to defeat as in the Paragon sewers, but I've heard of people doing street-sweeping runs to scour Mercy Island with success.

Such an event for redside could be fun and might draw additional players to the Rogue Isles as well.

Good luck!

I so like this idea. The only reason i dont play vils on justice that much cause its hard to lvl and this is a great idea.

I would also like to get on a test team. All my 50's are listed in the sig. They are all pvp ready and on justice. My globals are @Galactic Blaze and @Galactic Revolution.

Rad blast/dark corruptor FTW!!! LOL

that was alot of fun last night.

[ QUOTE ]
+HP, +dam, +rech. In that order, I'd say. With accolades you should be able to cap your HP fairly easily.

[/ QUOTE ]

all of these and +acc to.

also i wonders what they did with arena options?

I personally like my energy/mm blaster, but as ive seen its one of the very few that pvp's out there. But it still does good enough. Psi/em r good for blasters right now.

Ice/shield tanks r also starting to pop up.

alot of fun tonight JJ

I am not saying things were broken or needed tweaked, just saying that in the end all they did was traded one broken system for another broken system. To make it worse this system is filled with bugs and there is zero ingame info on how its supposed to work that I am sure there are bugs we don't even now about.

[/ QUOTE ]

Totally agreed con. But to the topic just adjust this is old news now. Hopefully something will happen in the future, but no use in fighting a loss cause. If they wern't going to listen before what makes you think they are going to listen now.
