lol farmers.
lol anti-farmers.
I'm in the game for PvP. The best 'AI' in the game is another player. The best 'test' of your toon's build is another player. The best fighting is against other players. And RWZ raids. Arena is a lot of fun on teams. And ITFs are fun too.
Like last night fer instance in RV...I had a kill ratio 23:7 on my nrg/nrg blaster. The villains were falling like leaves.
Hmmm...wonder if I got another PvP IO to sell for 200 million...I'll have to check... -

Prestige is slow to get. However, I did a test once. I made my scrapper on freedom, joined my SG at level 1, 0 XP after I just made her. Kept her in SG mode all the way until 50. When she finally dinged 50, she had amassed over 600K prestige (she has earned over 1 million prestige now).
Once you get your guys to 50, you'll have plenty of prestige to build your base. I started my SG back when SGs were just a name only and had no base. I sat there solo in my own SG for more than a year. Then bases. Expensive bases. Expensive rent. So now, we have a very nice non-PvP base with teleporters to everywhere but Terra Volta (I've been too lazy to get the beacon so far...maybe this weekend).
You're base will ramp up faster than mine did. But getting a SG off the ground and running with all the goodies takes some time...I'd estimate maybe 3-6 months or so, it's definitely a long term project.
Good luck. Post pictures when you get a chance. -

PvP psi doms will have to drop shock wave now, and run dart, blast, subdue, and mind probe for attack chain. Stinks that we'll be losing the big -rech we used to be able to dish out. However, the massive damage increase on the chain will more than make up for it me thinks. I absolutely eat regen scrappers now, cant wait to see how bad it is after the changes.

Your gonna need that dom buff too hehehehe. -

Love this thread...throwing money is a fantastic idea.

Simple solution: Stop trying to fight them, and let people make all the farms they want. Then allow people to tag their mission as "Farm" or "not Farm". This will allow people to filter out farms if they don't want to see them, and everyone can play their own way and be easily able to find the types of missions they want.
[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, that's a good idea...it's been my attitude not only with MA but with BM farms.
But there are a lot of anti-farm trolls. Those kind of players aren't happy until their panties are in a wad. They are the same players that hate on pvp too. Which is OK, because, as a PvP'er myself, I know...I'd crush em in a duel or in an open zone fight.
But at the same time, I don't do the MA much any longer as I've found most of the missions really, REALLY boring. Unless the team chat is fun and lively, I do one mish and leave. Then I head back to RV and try to destroy stalkers (is there any other kind of villain to actually hate on?). -

That's an on-again off-again bug.
I suggest, for now, until the devs do fix this bug once and for all, to write a macro:
/macro bind "bindloadfile c:\[path_to_bind_file]\bindfile"
Then when you lose your binds just click the macro button. Once the devs fix it, delete the macro button, you won't need it any longer. -
Villains camped the base again,
Doo Dah, Doo Dah,
PBU + Boost Range + Snipe
Oh, Doo Dah Day.
Gonna blast all night,
Gonna blast all day,
Gonna keep on blasting every baddie,
Until they've all gone away. -

The only point I mentioned it's NOT soloing is with the use of a Temp Shivan or HVAS, you are physically NOT soloing as there are two entities working on the same target. Maybe you should take your own advice as well.
[/ QUOTE ]
Wait, does that mean MMs with henchmen and Controllers with pets don't count as AV soloers?
[/ QUOTE ]
Shivands and HVAS do indeed count as 'taking down an AV solo.' Since neither stay spawned when the player dies...they are TEMP POWERS not NPCs...therefore, they simply count as powers. MMs soloing an AV with their minion counts as soloing an AV.
Although, I'd say it up front if I used a temp power like Shivans or an Amy's Ward to solo an AV. I'd also say, "I DIDN'T use not stinking Shivans or Amy's Ward" if I DIDN'T to solo an AV.
I didn't use any shivans or temp powers when I solo'ed Hopkins or the Envoy of Shadows...temp powers didn't exist back then, not even the origin temp powers. -
I solo'ed Hopkins and the Envoy of Shadows on my rad/rad defender. My 2-build is going to be geared toward soloing more AVs.
-
lol divine is way over-rated...Matt Link is the best.
lol stalkers.
My rad/rad defender destroys em.
My nrg/nrg blaster kills them.
My Fire/Nrg tanker PWNS them.
Only my scrapper has trouble with stalkers...oh well. -
Kheldians Teamed >> VEATS >> Kheldians Solo.
It's that simple. Teamed up on an 8-man, kheldians are the most powerful AT in the game PERIOD. Solo, they aren't much more powerful than defenders. -
I always lose my zombie 'Moe' in battles, and have to run around the rest of the mish with just 'Larry' and Curly. No biggie...I usually don't care and I don't usually resummon Moe until Larry or Curly bites it too.
-
If I get a Tp/Def IO I will gladly list it for 1 billion.
I knew I should have sold my Panacea Heal IO for 300 million instead of 200 million, since it sold in hours...I just lost 100 million on it. -

I use lockdown +2, 4 basilisks, and a hami mez/acc in my choking cloud, and I love it. Could be slightly better on end reduction (only 60% ish) but hold and acc are capped and you get those juicy bonuses from Basilisks.
With the proc in there I can hold bosses in one pulse if Im lucky.
[/ QUOTE ]
Choking cloud does NOT accept accuracy enhancers...you're not getting any +acc from your HO...only the mez hold part is working. -
I like energy blast just the way it is, tyvm. The non-energy blast players that complain about knockback are wrong and need to get over themselves.
-
[ QUOTE ]
I've played my nrg blaster for awhile now. And never had a knockback complaint until today. I did the usual thing, hovered above while using aoe's, if I knocked a single target out of the pack I'd kill it. A kin on the team complained the whole mission until I nova'd a pack at about half health, and even though they all died they freaked out about scattering and quit.
[/ QUOTE ]
The kin you were teaming with sucked, don't play with them any more. KB whiners are wienies...they aren't even good to play with on a PuG. -
[ QUOTE ]
Seriously, I really do! lol
Guys, SOOO sorry for the long post. But only the pvp pros can help me here and I know you guys are all about information. lol
Ok I been here since launch, off and on I guess.
I was here for I13, actually havent really missed an issue yet, HOWEVER, I'm not a guy who builds his hero around pvp. And I HAVE gotten a few victories in Warburg, and maybe one in RV lol. I gotta tell ya tho, I just plain suck at pvp. However, when playing with people that got some sense(and are over the age of 10 lol) I really have a good time out there. I congratulate on good battles even if I lose.My very FIRST pvp experience was group on group and I died a lot but I had BLAST!
The other day I jumped into RV with my 50 Eng/Eng blaster. He doesnt really have any good sets per se, he has one that I just kinda threw on him for no reason LONG ago, but everything else is generically IO'ed. I love him in pve, I just chalk pvp up to me simply being lame. But I digress.
Anyway I zoned in, and saw a MM and a Dom there, and a Brute who was there off and on. Well in the 45 minutes or so they gave me a brutal beatdown. 3 on 1. I didnt really have time to trip off it for real, I was too busy thinkin bout my next strategy, but they wouldnt let up. It was so UNFAIR! But you know what, I kinda chalked it up to them just being villains and thats what villains do, I just shrugged it off.
The time before that, I went into RV and there was 2 other heroes and one Brute. All 3 of these were obviously regular pvpers and knew each other personally, as I tried to make conversation with the 2 heroes just standing around and they werent very friendly lol. Made me feel like an outcast. But again, no big deal, I was there for some fun. Well the Brute made a point to single me out evertime and destroy me, but the other 2 heroes didnt help. I think maybe they were chatting amongst themselves. Now, when I fought those villains 1 vs 3, they all ganged up on me. Either way I lose.
It made my experience bad, but I cant say it enough, man I just suck at pvp I think. Everytime I'm there I lose...even IOed out I lose. LOL its cool tho I just want to see if I can take on another badguy that can actually think and move.
Hey, no real complaint here about pvp I maybe need to just step my game up. The only complaint I have if any is I wish more people PVPED! If so, maybe less people would get "ganked", as you guys call it.(excuse me I dont use these words normally lol)My dream, if any for pvp because I honestly could live life just fine without it, would be if way more people were interested in it.
So, after all these years and now the recent hate of pvp by the people, heres my questions...
-The regular pvpers seem to be having problems with the way pvp works, but why should it matter to you if you are regulars and have in a sense "mastered" what it means to pvp?
-I keep seein these "Learn 2 pvp" comments and stuff which leads me to believe that once you learn it, you somehow have set yourself above the rest of the population and became, in a sense, a "pvper who owns noobs" or somethin, does the thought that maybe more people might actually have a better chance at pvp and the playing field is leveled maybe irritate some people?
-Don't you guys want the "casual" or "non-regular" pvpers to get in on the fun.
-Why do some(half?) pvpers make the casual person feel so...unwelcomed in pvp?(like those heroes who were on MY side that just sat there and dam near ignored me and let their homeboy wail on me with his super purple IOed out guy LOL)
Again, I have nothing against pvp, my experience is that I just plain suck and need to get a lil stronger or somethin maybe. If I got taken advantage I cant be mad I guess cuz there is a warning before you step out into the battlefield. lol Til then you'll see Mike Blu-Ray in RV every once in a while and dammit I'll keep tryin. I might be face planted when you see me but "no pain no gain" and "fall 3 times but get up 4" and all that inspirational junk. lol
But I need you guys to help me understand why it needs to be "fixed", especially if its not really needed for pve, in a sense. Not a flame or complaint, I just been out of the loop. Neither for or against pvp because man, even for a loser like myself it can be hella fun. lol

I have an IO'ed out nrg/nrg blaster. I love to PvP with her. She dies a lot. But, also, by the same token, I've killed EVERYONE in the train station before, I've killed EVERYONE camping the hero base. Sometimes I've gotten a 10:1 kill ratio.
* I bet you don't suck as much as you think...on a team with an emp...you'll kill waves of villains, even with only generic IOs.
* The 'vet' PvP'ers whine so much because they have to work now...they don't get it easy just because they built a /regen or nrg/wp stalker. Also, they whine, because in reality... they aren't very good either
If I see a toon in RV with no SG, no badges, and no title...I usually 'take it easy' on them, since they are probably a newer PvP'er. But the 'regulars' I shoot on sight all the time...usually, because I have a grudge against them from an earlier fight.
PvP doesn't need 'fixed', it just needs less 'whining', and a few tweaks. -

I was just on my tank and entered RV and was jumping around and all of a sudden I see 3 sharks coming at me and I hit my heal that capped my HP and I thought I was in the clear. Then out of nowhere 3 stalkers, 1 bane, 2 forts, and a brute all send a school of sharks at me and I died fast. I know it was a lot of them against me and no AT can take that much burst damage, but it still suck that every baddie has the same type of patron because the damage is insane.
[/ QUOTE ]
Those pvp players go for 'damage' and not character conception...which is why they are all clones. They have no imagination and don't care that they are making lemmiwinks builds.
My defender has had the same epic pool since PvP first came out. -

Is it me or I can I just buy recipes cheap, craft them and repost the crafted items, and make TONS of cash?! I'm used to playing the market on Eve Online where you NEVER see opportunities this obvious. Usually if it looks too good to be true, you forgot to move a decimal. But I really think this looks to be the case here. Am I missing something or are consumers just really stupid in this game?
[/ QUOTE ]
I do it all the time with level 50 Adjusted Targetting IOs. Its an IO almost everyone wants, the salvage is cheap, and the recipes are cheap. I've made good money off them when I have the time, I'm usually too busy leveling/PvPing. -
The devs will do power customization in the future. They have to. DC and Champions will have power customization...so they will have to 'spruce up' to match that item.
Methinks it might come either with Going Rogue or after its release, since that game is going have a game engine upgrade.
