Gah, and I hope I just misread it, but does that mean we only have I7 and I8 to look forward to this year?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, before the retail box we'll get I7, I8, and I9. Since the box will be released in 2007, I9 could come out early that year... but it might also come out in 2006.

Gratz on the ding, Poz!

All of this stuff sounds really exciting... I'm going to go out on a limb and say we're heading for a Space type expansion, almost certainly involving the Rikti Homeworld.

[/ QUOTE ]

..... I see you haven't ran many Rikti Story arches yet have you? But I do hope we have some space content, and alien worlds. That would be a sweet change of pace from all the magic stuff here lately. Time for some Sci Fi baby!

So were going to the planet of Predator?!!!! WEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
would be nice to finally see the return of Hero1 also.. and of course if not some underwater to the point of going swimming underwater not a submarine.... and have some fights underwater with a nice system called breath meter....we aren't aquaman...lol...

Happy cheers for the second anniversary and hope Avians...not avilans :P.... are a faster flier than normal...the others.... cross fingers.

Don't want to be a killjoy but you should report it to castle maybe he can tell ya if its intended or maybe just a bug that if we don't report we will get nerfed....

Same here I always at the service of the tank community.Also I think Im goin to virtue to see how strong is Vixen's brute..( I know its gonna hurt but my curiosity stills gets the best from me)

It all comes down to this: hardcore PvPers like the easy preys and the not challenging game.

....buh? o.O

um... I thought the appeal was the opportunity to face difficult, thinking opponents instead of static AI. At least, that's me. Easy prey = boring.

PvPer's and gankers aren't the same.

Please understand this and do not make such incorrect generalizations about those who love PVP. Thank you.

P.S.- Just a random thought, I enjoyed playing Zerg in Starcraft, but HATED rushing anyone.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thank you for this precision.

I appreciate this valuable input.


My point was most of the posters who argued with me seemed to defend the fact that one shoting a hero( or villain depending your side) who was already almost dead was fun, just because it's PvP and they could do it.

Your opinion is a relief to me, and I finaly see that some PvPers are not griefers.

[/ QUOTE ]now your being really rude .. I found that an insult, just beacuse I came from a game that getting ganked a few times is normal... that doesn't mean I am a griefer,okay?

by the way I do not point out that one shotting is not cool and all but if that is the stalkers only chance of survival he should use since if he fights in a "fair" fight he will get creamed with no question asked.. just like me.. and I find that appealling since it takes guts and intelligence to use this evil AT ( not saying that people are dumb but i met my share of them).

Most poster in the thread would have not problem if I took a bunch of Controllerd or Corruptors and sat around chain holding any villain or hero that happened by until they log, since there only a few ways to avoid this. Of course, hold them some more if they log in. They could call in their friends/SG for help. If they are a lone wolf they might as well log onto another character for awhile.

Is this greifing? If it is how can they prevent it other than banning players for using their powers?

Remember Rez and teleport were changed to these power being abused.

I am sure that circumstances like this are going to happen in a PvP enviroment.

I think the concern is that there was a very limit amount of time to test pvp, there are a ton of issues that need to be addressed, not just the one above. Areas were player can blast and not be targeted from, WoW was still fixing some of these areas 6 months after that game released.

I don't dislike playing PvP. COH is trying a good attempt at a fair system. It will be interesting to see how fast nerf happen when someone figures a good set of powers. It will interesting to see the x is killing y screams. The stalker is already being set-up as the pvp please nerf me poster child.

I hate greifers.

[/ QUOTE ]As you described holding the opponent the whole time even if theylog out and in... yes now thats griefing since you completly abusing the use of your role to halt completly his fun is griefing as well to use your stalker to stealth kill that same player over and when he obviuosly didn't attack anyone( this one could be the hardest since we are consenting to be attacked) or simply insult ya for no reason( suggested to report him so he doesn't cause anymore problems).

So your saying that i find a hero doing his working cleaning the crime element but I a stalker want to kill him since his a enemy... and if I do kill him as I should( a nija to put it in my favorite subject) Im a griefer for killing knowing that Im weak and my job for God's sake is to stalk and assasinate ( please people they what the word assasin stalker means) Im still a griefer... I think if you want know griefing just go have a nice session on Lineage2 and then talk me about real griefing... besides there's a warning sign saying your entering a pvp zone.../sarcasm I think it means go in have a nice cup of coffee with the next brute that was going to hit me before I offer him coffee...or just invite the stalker to play hide and blast!!... no,no pvp zone means partial vicinity for parties?/sarcasm off: you were change that attitude of mano a mano fights beacuse if i remember Dr.octopus doesn't wait for spider-man to get ready to fight...

[/ QUOTE ]

Next time you will be trying to get meteorite samples and your HP will be at 10% because the Shivans won't let you do, I'll be there to give you the final strike.

If PvP means acting like morons, I guess I can do that to meet your standarts.

[/ QUOTE ]Sure I won't have it against ya since I gave permission to attack me when I enter this pvp zone,sure I'll get mad a little I was working hard but as I learned in socom 3 never let your guard down if not your going to get shot on your back... but anyways I'll be looking foward for that attack from ya purple sentinel.

I think when in this case wich is my own problem is that players like stalkers will try to manhunt people like a sport and making such acts of relentless hunts to a specific type/lvl/AT beacuse they are to there eyes weaker makes them happy to destroy them time after time will cause one of the greatest griefings in this system but as said before griefing can't be define as a solid way since griefing can be killing a person just 2 times and that person is so mad just for that he will just say his greifing just to get you out of his life... I would most likely suggest to report such acts to have more than 1 witness to report such acts against player of our community. ( demmands 5 star for long talk and a chocolate cookie.)

So your SG is trying to create the substitute tankers?...I think thats....you let me speechless...... (cough) thats stupid man, your just asking to get sonic and bubbles nerf aren't ya??.. and besides your trying to destroy the utility of tankers??!?! man I mean its cool and all but your just making them useless and everyone will love to make those only you know.

ARCHERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! time to make a alt and get him some ancient bow and arrow that will whoop butt on those stupid malta!! I love ya devs.

The one thing that annoys me with saying blasters have wits over scrappers is that if someone does both, most of the time they'll do better with the scrapper then the blaster. Tactics will make a good blaster, but equal tactics will make an unstoppable scrapper.

[/ QUOTE ]its a good point this tactics mentioned are for blasters only since scraps have a different playing style than blasters for scrapps normally I have been thinking of tactics with there sec effects in there powers especially with MA.. well as before blaster are more tactical base instead of the scrapps and tanks.

A true fact stated by some of the other post our best defense is a offensive one.... if if there are other tactics like divide and conquer, trapped in the spider's web and a few more are in the arsenal of the blasters at any time it doesn't take slot nor power slot: meaning that the blaster greatest asset as well as the controller is there mind we to call in tactics and have patience is like you were given a sniper rifle and you had 2 options ( wait patiently for the right moment or shoot everytime you just have him close to ya and hoping to blow his brains out). I see much more potential in the blaster than just shooting and killing, think plan stalk and pounce on your enemy with them knowing( terain like buildings are the best ya know)with that said its true scrapps are better in sytanding a fight sure I admitt that and as well as tank at tanking( the name saids it all people) we need our mezz protection and our resistance but that doesn't make blaster useless its more like a controller just with particle cannon and less crowd control for the insane dmg....( I bet your saying Im talking crap right? be honest with me).

States:

here is the flaw in your logic - blasters are supposed to be th edamage kings, but scrappers potentially do more damage, they get this bonus because they HAVE to be in melee range to be effective, right? But they get defenses to make it so they can survive in melee range...

and then they get more damage on top of those defenses. It is like you thought you needed to balance them by buffing them up, but then kind of went overboard.

They have the survivability. They have the HPs they have the resistance or defense, they have the ability to heal themselves. (except for SR) They have mez protection.

With lower HPs, no mez protection, no ability to heal themselves (except through aid self) the blaster can't even survive ranged attacks, even if they are supposedly weaker than melee attacks.

It sounds like you're hinting that blasters might get more Hps. That would be a good start. maybe hold/dissorient protection in secondaries, and more damage... that would be balanced in my eyes.

[/ QUOTE ] I can agree with that more hp and extra protection I found it real fair even for me beacuse as the above post punch the lights out of me and Im still regaining concience( that hurt man) the extra range doesn't help in indoor mishes and blaster need there human shields for that..sigh..no one is happy these days... I think state should give more health some protection at least 30% of scrapps,fair
you should also recieve that highest dmg cap of the game but still you should still be squishies( no offense people) just with a extra resistence and maybe some extra recharge on your powers but that would go a little overboard there hehe.

This is what I would like to see happen to blasters.

1. Impliment PvP damage resist bypass in PvE.

2. Increase the range of all primary powers to be greater than the Diameter of Foot Stomp. Greater.

3. Take all PbAoE status effects and toggles in Blaster Secondaries and make them summonable drops or target toggles. Other than cloaking device of course.

4. Make all current melee attacks have a range of 20 feet, either by changing the animations or just letting them have the range. Increase the damage on Melee AoE attack powers again.

5. (stolen idea) Give each single target attack a -10% res that lasts 5 seconds. This not only helps boost the blasters damage a minute amount but also allows the blaster to help a team. Thus encouraging teaming.

6. Swap the damage caps of blasters and scrappers.

7. Remove the rooting effect from blaster attacks.

8. Faster activation times on powers for blasters.

9. Making level 32 nukes into more useable AoE powers like Head Splitter or Full-Auto and less situational all end consuming powers.

Just my thoughts on where I would like blasters to go.

[/ QUOTE ] Okay heres when stupiditty shows his face,( swaping dmg caps) that just plain stupid I admmit blaster dmg dmg cap is lower than scrapps but theres a good reason why, scrapps are frotline fighters, and blaster stay on there sofa chair throwing power until the run away warning.You got to admitt that most of the time your safe and sound( I know that your feel not contributing to the group) but in my experience I find blaster can be more helpful if they last longer and the devs just make there attacks a little stronger( not swaping dmg cap beacuse thats kinda outrageous especially with scrapps that are losing there defenses and some are just broken) in the end as a scrapp and tank I still approved of the extra dmg upgrade and a little more defense( not defense cap of scrapps totally( universal meaning of defense BTW))

Of course Im always willing to join with any blaster no matter there build( eng not against it but a little problematic for me) good luck getting a better defenses and attack power(no swaping!)

Based on data from the Training Room and feedback on the forums, we will be making the following changes to how XP, Influence and other drops are divided:

If a player is in a zone, did NO damage in a combat and has dead for more than a minute, he receives no XP. If a player is more than 300 ft. away (an increase of 100 ft.) from the mob when it’s defeated and did NO damage, he receives no XP. Otherwise, the player receives his full share of XP.

If players are on a mission map, they always receive their full shares. There’s no distance limitation. Teams can split up in maps – players can be separated by elevators – everyone receives their XP.

This system does not affect Mission rewards.



We’ll be putting the distance and mission map changes up on the Training Room soon (week or so) to see how it plays out.

Now, let me clarify the situation with Badges and Defeat tasks. As long as you or any of your teammates are within 200 ft. of the defeated mob, EVERYONE on the team gets credit. This is not a change in Issue 4; this is the way that it currently works.

[/ QUOTE ] states that a great idea but the death counter should be rise to 4 minutes since it may get in a ugly situation where that person won't be able to awake or be revived even for there hard work then he'll get pissed since he work so much and just for 1 min dead he doens't get xp well that a unhappy costumer.( please correct if what I said is wrong).
