Posi can call them "Free" all he wants, but there's plnety of other games out there that charge much less than $15 a month for basic Support and Bandwidth. Guildwars (which is where I am right now) charges nothing for Bandwidth & Tech/GM Support. There's no way in Hell that our subscriptions are only going to that stuff. There's no doubt in my mind anymore, they're using the profits and resources from this game, to either bloat their own salaries, or on their next pet projects.

if you look at it carefully Guild Wars is not free not one bit actually

look at it this way if you buy the original retail box thats 49.99 for a set number of items and ATs then if you buy the first expansion for it Factions thats another 49.99 for an increase to your static lv of ATs and items then if you buy the second expansion for it NightFall thats another 49.99 for an increase to items an ATs


you just payed 149.97 for Updates to the same game


if you were to buy COX's good vs evil edition you basically get more for your buck because it already includeds the same lv of incremental updates that you would get from Guild Wars seperate retail type updates



Now you say well GuildWars wins out cuz you dont have to pay for a subscription fee to play.....well yes but its made up for the lack of free updates or atleas update of the magnitude of COX


Well lets say for the hell of it you say well "I dont have to buy the retail expansions for GuildWars I can just I can make due with my retail version and then it wins out over CoX" well yes but then you hinder yourself to never having any new items or classes added to your repertauir while in CoX its a continuum of Updates


And if you say well I bought COH dvd plus COV dvd and and ive spent way more on COX then I have on GuildWars....well yes you have but then you didnt need to buy the dvd editions there were options you could have just bought their regular versions and even so both games included a month of play and items exclusive to them.....Now dont go tell me your going to be a pessimistic and say well the the items suck! well maybe but then again you knew what you were buying when you went for the shinier box didnt ya!


Dont get me wrong i like to play guild wars but its not like your getting everything for nothing its coming out of somewhere you are eventually paying for those updates in Cox not every issue update is a must reactivate account type thing so its not like you have to play every month


With Guild Wars sure you could make due with never buying an expainsion but you know the game eventually looses its shine just a matter of time when youll want to upgrade

It's not the kill counts it's the Kill Counts with Death Count. If you read what he is saying he's telling you that "it wasn't even funny" and isn't funny. It's why people absolutly hate this class. It's not that you can kill people it's your risk vs rewards and guessing by there data it's so unbalanced it's not even funny.
They have never used that term even when they were busy nerfing Refen Scrappers which tells me that what people are seeing and reporting is true. You guys are on God Mode and who wouldn't like being on God Mode in a PvP zone.
If you want your high kill counts your going to have to pay for them. It's about balance and right now Stalkers aren't even close to being balanced. You have high kill counts with very low Death Counts. I know if I get a Stalker on my Bounty it's going to take at least 30-60 minutes to kill him if at all. Not [censored] funny. On my Corruptor I get anybody on my Bounty and within 5 minutes that person is dead. It's your high kill counts with low death counts that needs to be balanced. Be like a Blaster and get high kill counts well Blasters have high death counts. Or be a Tank and have low kill counts but a low Death count. But you can't keep having it both ways.

You can scream bloody murder all you want but obviously if there saying "It's not even funny." then something is grossly out of balance. We'll wait and see if your God Mode gets flushed down the toilet. So far this is the only patch I have ever looked forward to.

well i agree that the kill count v death count was is most likely higher but then again there are more stalkers in those lower lv pvp zone than there are other villain ATs after all if stalkers want to become a viable choice in the pv3 game we have to come into our own earlier than other ATs around lv 6.

in comparison a regen scrapper doesnt become nearly as good until you either have dp slotted well or have access to integration which if i remember correctly is around lv 20.

even lower lv tanks take a while to appropriately be able to take a good beating and while most melee ATs are still going thru puberty if it runs thru the hide+AS combo it might run into a bit of prob

well placate can be enhanced for range that plus the snipe will be nice

this placate nerf is at worst a minor inconvience as i only see it affecting hit & run tactics, i dont see being affected too much if you stay and fight or even if you hit and use a diversition move other than placate

Cuppa's been trying, but she has yet to be able to convince the devs to throw us a bone.

IF we were to ever add a way to get Isolator post-Tutorial, it would most likely be incredibly hard to get. Annoyingly hard. Irritatingly hard. There-would-be-a-zillion-people-asking-to-make-it-easier hard.

But IF we were to add it, it would be available nonetheless.

[/ QUOTE ]

ok positron can i make a deal with you. can you guys give us a way to get the badge ouside of tutorial and make it extremely difficult and irritating to be able to get and afterwards you guys can ignore our request to be made easier

intead of ignoring to give the badge altogether that would be cooler wed adleast have a chance even if its once in a blue moon of getting it.

--i should have trusted my instincts and just stuck around killing things when i first made my first char

Ballista is a Toggle Dropping *******!

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, he is. He was designed to be as close to a Player Hero as we could make him. How do you guys like the Toggle Drop on him? Is it too nasty or does it add a nice challenge?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think its fine but then thats just me, if your idea was to make him close to a heroe player then you succeded in making this guys into some scrapper/tanker hybrid and as such i need to bring my brute buddies or my personal favorites a dom

actually their was a prob with participation in pvp before stalkers so its not the fact that stalkers are around thats causing a drop in pvp activity

its the fact that you run into alot of trash talkers and ego buffed personalities and since pvp is a side portion of this game if someone doesnt want to put up with that kind of behavior they dont have to

in my defense no squishy can ever say to me that i was cheap since my stalker is just running around with just hide in sc so if they dont even want to take even the smallest forms of defensive manuevers well thats just their prob at that point

in another note my scrapper will miss being oneshotted also wouldnt it be cool if the new avilon were a bounty hunter type AT

so does that mean my scrapper wont be able to one shot minions anymore even if they are 5lvs lower than me or even 10lvs lower than me

i really wish this change were just for pvp just cuz i dont mind getting one shotted in pve it only makes it all the sweater when i get payback

since debt now means almost nothing its not that big deal dying by one shot and recovery from it

hey i was just wondering is defiance added in after your initial dmg is calculated or is it already calculated with your dmg
just wondering thx in advace

yeah i have seen these defiance doesnt really help threads for a while for the most part i thought it might be overexagerated. until my bro told me he rolled a blaster recently now my bro isnt a min/max kind of guy he isnt the best of players, he doesnt look at the forum or comes here at all.

but when he told me that defiance doesnt do a bit of help unless your dead thats when i knew that it really might need somesort of change usually my bro is more of a casual player and doesnt really play games that much he just decided to roll a blaster cuz i told him they did alot of dmg.

i prob will roll a blaster later to see what/how defiance works just for the heck of it. i decided to post this just because I was really surprise he said it sucked well in anycase he rerolled a tanker.

ok well truth be told if an AT has you changing your way of fighting then maybe its for the better i mean damn whens the last time you got faceplated and said maybe im doing something wrong with how im approaching this.

and if you say well i dont mind it happening once or twice but multiple times, then let me advice you take a controller friend or if your a controller anything that may counter your squishiness.

now if can get some aoes in ther you can pretty much call the AS nulled or if you can brawl the stalker that should be a fast enough move to be able to cancel the move AS. also if you stack yourself with some plus perception abilities you can null their hide with enough maybe even hide/stealth.

also the purple pills work great too. and if you time your move right you can cancel the placate move as i think theirs something wrong with it cuz you can override it if you att at the right time its being used. happen to me afew times in mish

lets see you should have some form of protection against them every at seems to have some counter measure to given situations. hell ive got some scrapp ability in me if my AS goes awry it might not be that great but he can do it.
so please no more saying that were overpowered or we have some secret 'i win button ' cuz we dont.

about us being nerfed in anyway its possible but i dont know if it can be called that not until the devs say what they are going to do and it actually goes live,so we can determine wether its a nerf or not. i dont think itll happen untill theres some higher lvl pvp open to see how the stalkers do againts heroes/villains of a higher magnitude although i could be wrong.

and anyways pvp is meant to be chaotic with team emphasize so you take a gamble when you enter it regardless of your moral actions/code there will always be, i supose to some extent gankers waiting for you to walk in.

all i can say is a corrupter told me i wasnt squishy i responded by saying well after my AS i certainly feel squishy.

that and we have to admit that it takes times to develop skill and some people have to suck up their ego.

luckily castle responded quickly enough to prevent masshysteria but seriously not cool at all freaking had me on hedge almost until i remembered i played last night and all was well

personally i dont have any problems with placate i placate a target then i run and wait for hide to come back on the description for placate it says its not an actual hide ability it just a substitute till you can actually hide again thats why it says not to att the placated target or youll null the placate
