Noticed one of the peeps I was playing with last night was in your SG, glad to see you're back. Gees, was wondering why Nirvana had been silent for a while...

Yup, means you should save up until you really need the extra space before upgrading.

Well they used to have all mice and keyboards white for a reason...

I'll try very hard not to think about that when I'm chating to people on teamspeak later.

If I'm ever on TS with you I'll have to remember to play THAT scene from Deliverence over the TS.

This I can agree with. People are very nice out of PVP zones.

Mostly, I've come across a few I'd rather never meet again...

CoH doesn't have this. It also has one of the lowest standards of behaviour overall I've ever seen in a game, and I play, in addition to MMOs, a variety of FPS and flight sim games. I have to put this down to a combination of idiot plus anonymity of the internet plus the knowledge there will probably be no come back.

Killing them is not a deterrant, although it's entertaining obviously, that's generally what seems to generate abuse in the first place.

While I would agree that in game people can sometimes get away with a lot, which in other games might be pegged as griefing and either other players would gang up to sort it (ala South Park's WoW episode style) or the mods would, I'm still thankful that I've never been followed through an entire zone by some twit spamming the spit emote as I refused to fight his toon that was more than ten levels higher than mine...

Also one thing that REALLY bugs me about WoW is those blasted tells you get advertising powerleveling sites!!! ARGH! Can't log in even for 5 minutes without getting one! And they seem to use a newly made toon each day, with a gobbledy-[censored] name, so you can't even stick the ...s (not going to put in the words I'd use) on ignore. ARGH!!

Also, even with a heavy it's not riskless, as when my heavy comes accross some longbow and attacks they'll usually end up aggroing on me for some reason.

There's an option to store chat logs under the general options if I remember right. I just stores loads of little text files, they're quite usefull for reference or if you want to contact someone you were talking to but forgot their name.

But yup, there are an awful lot of jerks you'll come across in PvP who will:
1. Only go after the squishiest character, regardless of how many times they've killed them, who else is in the zone or even if the timer for getting more rep from the kill has reset. It's really a case of beating a dead horse since there's just no point to it.
2. Refuse to take you one-on-one, running away when you try to engage them as such, but regularly comming at you when they have someone else with them.
3. Will only attack you when you're already fighting some of the non-player enemies, often resulting in you getting debt.

The funny thing is that they'll often be the first to complain when you finally figure out ways to ruin their time in the PvP zone.

You'll have to clarify things for him so;
"The toilet is not a wishing well Touch, please don't put anything other than ... down there."

Meh, you'll probably be able to get away with just using the free channels supplied by the makers. Had a number of people in my SG ask me to set it up but in the end only one person ever bothered using it. At least if you use the free servers for a trial run you won't end up forking out for something that's not going to get any use.
From people who used it in WoW the general oppinion seems to be that it can be very problematic since, like in life, if multiple people try to talk at the same time you can't make out what's being said, but unlike in life you can't see when someone is about to say something and also it may not be as clear as to who should go first.

The base is locked out to everyone except members at the moment, but if you have joined someone else, i'll happily open it up for you to take a look at.

they kidnap bridger every weekend and tie him up in the corner thats why they keep it locked

[/ QUOTE ]
This isn't going to turn out to be something like that scene in Pulp Fiction I hope!?

Check your power and control, if either are insufficient when you install it you won't be able to use it.

Well if you send a tell to Bru:
/t @Bru
or Max
/t @Max Powerz

they should still have pretty active SGs and assuming that they've space I'm sure they'd be willing to invite you. I'd try pimp my own here but at the moment it's not that active.

Another reason to love the MA power set - you can subdue them safely without causing them too much pain or injury
And handcuffs aren't neeeded - they go straight to the Zig

[/ QUOTE ]
Not always, sometimes they go to the Zag instead.

What for, all you need is a Rad or Thermal blaster/corrupter in the SG and you're set!

I should be on for a while tonight, I'll give some of the others I know and remember the globals for (damn bug!) a head's up in case they don't know the channel has reformed.

Sure, will do.
Starting to play abit more the last few days, but as I've said elsewhere if my global gets changed again before i9 (apparently that bug is also still lurking in the background too ) I'm definitely gone as it'd just be too much s*** to put up with for me.

So in other words the channel deleting bug is still lurking in the background.

Hi im starting wonder why there are more Heroes then Villains ?? its not very fun PvP'ing if there isnt anybody to PvP with

[/ QUOTE ]

Which server are you on? On Union WB and Siren's Call have more than one team of heroes and villains in frequently and RV is just starting to get busy with a PvP night being organised for Thursday Nights. I have to admit there are more people on heroes than villains though. I think its because heroes came out first and prefer being good.

[/ QUOTE ]
And in RV the Hero Epic powers being much better than the villain patron powers also comes into it I'd imagine.

[ QUOTE ]
uh...Slight exaggeration methinks? And given CM is the only buff blasters can realistically get that stops them being held to smeg;

[/ QUOTE ]
Strange that when fighting a lone blaster in RV my holds (2 holds, 2 immobs, and then my pets holds and immobs) were all useless...

And since most of the complaining seems to be about the Villain heavies... Well what do you expect us to do since the PPPs suck compared to the Epic PPs?

[ QUOTE ]

ps. I use term oneshot where it doesnt actually matter whether it is oneshot or two or whatever. Point is that squishies will have 0 chance to react and prevent themselves dying.

[/ QUOTE ]
And yet you're complaining about being unable to target Masterminds because of their heavies, no complaining about stalkers, corrupters or dominators... now I wonder why you would be targetting Masterminds... (Brutes I would assume you simple intend to keep sufficient distance from to prevent them using their attacks)

Because the timer is a two week one which resets as soon as you pay, so by paying when it appears you have to pay every 2 weeks, whereas by paying when your base gets locked you only have to pay every 6 weeks.

But as a solo baser I wanted to know when I could place items, so made a note of it, 100k for tp room, 5k for each beacon, 15k for the tporters, so knew when I reached this, and went on to do this, incidentally after the patch, and the costs had changed.

[/ QUOTE ]
Always been 150K per TP room and 10K per beacon for me AFAIR.
