I'm more annoyed that they can track this damage but they can't split out Bounty in SC so that a killstealer takes 100% of bounty after causing the last 5% damage on a PC my Defender has been dealing with for the last 2-3 minutes

Boy, So many times this was suggested after CoV came out, and Sirens Call began to fill. I cant believe it was possible all this time, and instead of perfecting the bounty system, they increase the amount of debt gained in PvP zones. One of the main reasons people have told me they stay away from PvP despite being interested in trying it out.

[ QUOTE ]

This whole risk/reward things comes up again. Before there was no debt, now we have a new risk of debt. Where is the new reward?

[/ QUOTE ]

The best part is the per kill bonus and mission bonuses for being in a PvP zone were reduced awhile back (I believe this is true, but if someone has info to the contrary please correct me). So we have increased debt and decreased reward. Also decreased traffic to the zones. A loose, loose, loose idea if Ive ever seen one.

Another CoV Respec Trial guide I found in my searches

BlastBlazes Guide to Respec

New update, a few new strategies Ive seen discussed but never tried.

Recall foe the vines into clumps makes for easy disposal. Especially if you recall foe all of em before starting to eliminate.

DEBUFFS DEBUFFS DEBUFFS FOR THE AV, duh im such a moron for never thinkin of it before. I assume Corrupters have some debuffs like Dark Defenders and Rad Defenders do..... Make sure you have these on your team, as Ive always had the most trouble on the AV.

Also bring alot of awakens (hope I didnt mention this above), youll likely need em and wont have time to run back and forth from hospital.

hehe, was fun .. dirty or clean .. i appreciate the fun .. but we'd rather just PvP .. know what i mean?

[/ QUOTE ]

I took alot of that out of context, but id sure like to introduce you to my Vgs leader and get yall on coalition. we can have base raids and team pvp. that is what ive been waiting for.

Beware the hacker is back. He has somehow managed to create a limper look alike, both in screen name, costume, incredibly funny wit, good looks, intelligence.... But I digress. Rest assured I will be looking to clear my good name. Meanwhile any kills are certainly not of Da Limper. CAUSE I PWNZ.

<<INSERT SANITY HERE>>
Was testing out a new build last night, and damn didnt realize you had 5. Thought it was only three. Not complaining mind you, as I camped War with an 8 person VG group on team speak last weekend. BTW appreciate the RP comments, but honestly thats just me. Im usually running smack, although you will notice I work clean. Im like the Bill Cosby of PvP smack.

Cotton is a fun stalker to play with. I got a 2v2 fight goin in Sirens FC yesterday night. Only lasted a fight but was fun. I was partnered with a corrupter (only villain in zone atm), versus a peacebringer/warshade and a storm defender. We got owned first time. Storm slowed me, and prevented me from protecting corrupter. Corrupter lasted a bit versus the Epic, but eventually got beat down. Then it was 2v1.

I will second that Tiandy.

As for the screenshots. I am hosting, One Dead Da Limper?, here.

But thats not Da Limper. Here is how I know.

1. Da Limper PWNZ!!!, Fake Limper dead.
2. Da Limper one leg & one peg, Fake Limper has stumps.
3. Da Limper has one hook & one hand, Fake Limper has a hook & is missing an arm.
4. Da Limper is a ladies man, Fake Limper has a beer gut.

I believe the toon you see there is Mini Limper. Every handsome, powerful, intelligent, Super Villain needs a mini side kick.

just pics of me running fromt he rest of stalkers following me

[/ QUOTE ]

Why would I want pictures of you running from me? I get to see that often in real time... Ohh well Ill pm my email anways.

Swarm of Orange? You color blind or something? Heroes outnumbered villains 3 to 1 last night by the time I logged. Fortunately I had some VG peeps to team with.

Please allow me to introduce you to the Alan Parsons Project, really cool bunch of players. I am the designated team Smack Talker, the rest let their M@D SK1LLZ do the talkin!!! BTW we have hacked champion, and will not release it until we have been paid 1 MILLION DOLLARS!!!

Speaking of Ring, he promised to show off some more "supposed" screen shots of my death. I am still waiting, cause so far all I see is a bunch of claimers, and no proof!!!

[ QUOTE ]

If you did 99% of the damage then youd get 99% of the bounty based on what Ive observed.

[/ QUOTE ]

The system really doesnt seem to be working this way.

[ QUOTE ]
Was he griefing then too?

[/ QUOTE ]

I responded to someone griefing me, and only toward that toon. Furthermore I did nothing really but follow them around, and take numerous PvP deaths because of it. I broadcasted my complaints a few times as well. I am certainly not the first. Did we really need to bring it to the boards, or can we drop it? I assume you are the toon in question, otherwise why get involved?

I have some very strong opinions regarding risk versus reward and stalker stealing bounties I did 99% of the damage to. Especially when I invite them after ganking my kill. The response "I get more solo, teams no advantage". I complained about it in game, noone seems to agree with me, so Ill be working Warburg or the Arena's. Problem solved.

BTW please don't follow me around with this. If it was your stalker I apologize. I still think what you did was bullcrud, but hey enjoy and Ill see you in Warburg.

Send em to me and ill host em. I want to see this imposter you "killed". Ill stand by my previous statements.

You qoute my whole post but apparently didnt read it. So lemme refresh your memory with the high points:

First point (and remember CAPS + in print = TRU.DAT) "First DA LIMPER PWNZ ALL."

Second "I have never lost, EVER, in PVP." Not one of you has a screen shot to prove it

So as you can see I PWNZ, U SUX.

[ QUOTE ]
I have a list, as it happens, of what I feel are the top 50 PvP'rs that I've seen. To be "among the best in the game" you should probably be on that list. There are only 8 people from Champion on that list.

[/ QUOTE ]

I hope you didnt list me multiple times? Dats Da Limper on Champion, rest are in my Sig. Make sure you update that, would hate to hog several spots. Im just one player, killin toons one at a time.

BTW Tandy, I could use a partner or three in PVP. Look me up anytime. And on a serious note the devs seemed to have fixed the zone/rep bug, everything prior to this has been a test imho.

[ QUOTE ]
I don't consider myself one of the best .
_fly_

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats cause you arent. It was clearly established (in print and all caps) by another poster (see independant verification) that DA LIMPER is da best.

Sorry bored as hell at work, and ganking your 1v1 conversation, but hey Quason does that to my bounties all the time.

I would like to devote this post to a toon that isnt getting enough props in PVP, let alone this thread. Thats right DA LIMPER. Quite likely THE BEST PVPer ON CHAMPION SERVER (in print + CAPS = TRU.DAT). Just wanted to offer this PSA, since I know DA LIMPER, is to shy to TOOT his own horn in such a public forum.

I love a challenge. Quason if you can get a screenshot of me, lying dead with proof from the combat window.... I will never again talk smack to you for ganking my bounty. No wait cant promise that, I love talking smack. OK you get that screenshot, and ill GIVE YOU A FULL TRAY OF ENHANCEMENTS!!!!!

(training enhancements only, void where prohibited, limited time offer, not valid for nrg stalkers on champion server, one coupon per villain)

Been seein alot of trash talking here in these threads. Just wanted to visit and add my own. First DA LIMPER PWNZ ALL. Thats right I talk a better game than any of you.

Let me start this lil rant off by saying I have never lost, EVER, in PVP. Not once. Sure sure people like Kagemon, or Quason might bring up time when they THINK they defeated me. I SAY BRING SCREENSHOTS. Till then I will keep shouting smack over broadcasts in Warburg and Sirens, and enjoy my pvp dominance. (at least till one of you really does bring in a screenshot).

WAR Jim Rome, WAR Deadboy (really a great sport considering I developed my build to kick his [censored]), WAR Kagemon & Quason, and WAR the LMC all of you are a challenge.

PS please take every word I spew with a grain of salt, most of my smack talk is for humor or to get your best effort. My apologies to anyone that has killed me when I was cranky, I generally take defeat graciously.

<<<<Please note the following statements were made after consuming large amounts of alcohol>>>>>>
Dear Heroes in Sirens Call,

I eat blasters and tankers. Really way to numerous to name. Instead I will leave you with a qoute from Austin Powers.

"I'm bigger than you and higher up the food chain. Get in my belly!"

Da Limper, 31 Brute, Champion.

Rumor has it the bug has been fixed. The thread I link to in a previous post in this thread cofirms this, and suggests another possible bug:

Yes, the TF is now fixed. I did it again yesterday and I was able to finish. Although we did encounter a bug with the vines counter, it was not displaying the correct number of vines left to kill, but it didn't matter, when they were all killed we were able to get the AV.

FYI, rumor has it there is a bug with the latest patch. As of 11/18 the respec mission "will" not allow teams to kill the last vine. It boots the entire team. Repeated attempts to reach and eliminate the last vine required in the third mission result in repeated team boots. I have provided a link to the thread in question.

11/18 COV respec bugged

[ QUOTE ]
Is this information Correct? I did the respec mission @ level 33 so Can I (now that im a lvl 35) do the mission again and get another respec?

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldnt bet my life on it, but wouldnt have posted it here if I felt it was wrong. Worst case scenario is you get to post your SF results here and improve the guide

Found this in another forum, thought it was appropriate to the Respec conversation.

I completed the lvl 24 respec, is there a higher lvl respec SF for CoV yet? If so who and where. I assume like CoH you can't just do the lvl 24 one over to get another respec.

Thanks
Green

if you 34, or 44 yes you can do the 24 respc again to get another, but you have to be inthe 3 ranges cause you only get 1 respec per 24-33, 34-43, 44-50

so ya a lvl 24 cant get 3 from the raider TF, but a lvl 50 who never did respect coud get 3 for the raider TF atleast in CoH

Babaganoosh Nice post, great strats. Nice to see I wasnt the only one seeing lots of deaths. So apparently bring rez, awaken etc. Cause the run to the last mission takes along time, and vines grow back fast.

Found another guide, posting the guide and link to the thread. One good suggestion out of the below thread, get your Shivan summons from the BB meteor crater mission. Send it in on the AV.

Murph's Tricks and Guide to the COV Respec!

TEAM MAKEUP

* 1 or 2 brutes
* 2 dedicated healers (Thermal Radiation, Radiation Emission) not someone with a emanator (Traps, Plant control, and Dark Miasma will not heal successfully. Preferably ones that can just spam group heals would be the best.
* 2 people that can pass status protection, 1 with a fast recharge (Thaw from Thermal Radiation). You can also do it with one person with quick status protection, he just needs 10+ Breakfrees by the time you fight the AV.
* Other people that can act as a unit to fend off baddies while the rest of the group is killing the AV. We did it with 1 Ice Control Dominator and one Super Reflexes Stalker.



Ideally, you would also have 1 or 2 that can debuff the AV, as he hurts and hurts BAD! Dark Miasma's Darkest Night, Radiation Emissions many toggle debuffs, and so on.

CHEAT! If you have someone with recall friend, you can teleport or invisible thru the first map and really speed the first mission along!

The mobs spawn +1 and +2 higher than the highest person on the team. This mission is for anyone who is 24-30, auto exemplar is 30.

Lets start this!

The demon who starts this mission is Sparcetriel, located on a dock far southeast of Nerva. Only your leader has to go to him, everyone else stay at the ferry. Once everyone's in zone click Sparcetriel and get started!

MISSION 1! Kill random COT

Leave your leader at Sparcetriel, everyone else to go Cap Au Diable, run to the left up the hill, kill COT till the counter reaches zero.

MISSION 2! Kill 3 Elite Bosses!

This can be tough as the Elite Bosses have Alpha Strikes that can one shot your squishier characters. We did this with a teleporter, and a stalker (to help guide the teleporter around blind teleport jumps). We teleported around the map to the Elite Bosses killing only what we had to and did this mission fairly quickly, but it was tough! You do NOT have to clear this map, as soon as the 3 elite bosses are dead you can exit the mission!

MISSION 3! OMGBBQ It's the Thorn Tree!

First part of this is your standard COT Mission. You'll eventually make it to a room with a ton of vines in it... here's how this room works.

* If you can see the AV, it's likely he can shoot you.
* COT line the perimeter of this room
* Vines don't give XP
* Vines don't give inspirations
* As you kill vines, they begin to regenerate (but usually the number doesn't reach the original number)



First kill all the COT along the walls of this mission.

Second begin killing the vines by staying together and mowing thru them. While you're doing this, make sure your brute is the closest player to the AV as he's the one you want getting shot by the AV. Also, the AV's strongest ability is 90% Lethal, so if you have a shield that can resist that cast it on everyone. Be ready to give status effect resists to the squishies as needed. It is VERY IMPORTANT that for the first run you stay together. You'll need everyone's help. When you realize that you are having trouble keeping up with the vine's regenerating, leave the middle of the room and retreat. Let the Vines regenerate as much as they will (this is when my group did a drink/bio break). Usually the number will not go quite as high.

You'll notice that the AV is next to a huge mass of vines that he cannot shoot thru. Split your team up by putting all the healers and brutes on the side facing the AV, and the Masterminds and Stalkers on the side where they CANNOT be hit. Dominators can be on either team. Now you should be able to easily destroy enough vines to kill the AV.

Than gather where the Stalkers and Masterminds originally were. Stay right up against that mass of roots, now very few if any vines should be able to hit you, and you'll be ready to buff and get ready for the AV battle. Whoever has Thaw, or the quick recharging status protection cast it on EVERYONE and than go to the AV. Debuff the AV. Whoever has that status protection, between heals cast your protection on then next guy.. for example, I had thaw and warmth.

Thaw Player 1, Warmth, Thaw Player 2, Warmth, Thaw Player 3... you get the idea...

If the person spamming status protection gets held, he need to pop a breakfree or your 2nd person with status protection has to free him!

Soon you'll get ambushed by COTs. Brutes stay on the AV, healers keep spam healing and status protecting. Leave your toggle debuffs on the AV, everyone else kill COT (Dominators and Stalkers are best for this).

Rinse and repeat and that AV should be dead!! Make sure you click CHARACTER RESPECIFICATION as your reward!!
