Boo you pinched my favourite saying for these forums

Not to mention that a large number of people use their 40+ slots to slot their epic powers.

I found that i had to take air superiority to have a decent attack chain when hasten is down. Although i think i'll be respeccing shadow punch outta the equation and slotting Air Sup when the i7 respec comes round as Air Sup does 'almost' the same damage unslotted as Shadow punch does with 4 damage slotted.

Edit - i should also add that on the DM/Regen i stupidly respecced in darkness mastery for hammi raids and have no extra 'attacks' from that.

I used to spend pretty much all of my playing time in Sirens and yeah it was people like TG, Poss, Botty etc that made it worthwhile. Perhaps i just go at the wrong times now, prolly because i play mainly on Union nowadays as i've no slots left on Defiant.

I'd say that all of those barring the kill stealing are viable tactics. People will always use what works and can hardly be expected to start using other powers less useful than others just because too many people are using X power.

The crap on broadcast was one of the reasons i stopped playing in Sirens. Warberg IMO has a much better atmosphere these days which could be accounted by the good/friendly players having naturally progressed there. Not that there aren't a few idiots who will grief anything they dont agree with but on a whole a much better place than Sirens now.

was gonna say the same thing then i noticed he said cont which i assume (not sure ) means controller ah the perils of 2.45am posts

Indeed hadn't noticed the Cont bit either.

Chilli does this mean i'm not gonna come across your annoying self in Warberg anymore? Shame.... you're pretty hard to kill solo Rad mumble Rad mumble mumble.

400 rep for sweet chilli on Union. AAm I the first cont on Union to do this I wonder?

[/ QUOTE ]

I doubt it, myself Stalk-obot and others had 400 rep on Defiant months ago so i doubt very much that you are the first on Union

Awww it will be a shame to see such a great person leave. I haven't played CoV with you for a while but you're one of the people who stick in my mind from when i did.

Take care and all the best wherever you end up Confess.

I am sorry to break it to you all but best PvP Supergroup is The Aurora Elite.

Aren't they the recruitment agency advertising on one of the billboards in Galaxy for "Professional screaming NPC's with an uncanny ability to get in your face"?

From what i've tested with the changes to tohit debuffs it's certainly going to cause Stormies, Rads and DD's a problem but not to the extent that some people think. They'll still be very viable PvP toons.

Bah I start wwork at 7pm. Hope it goes well

Only other thing that can withstand a dedicated blaster is someone running unstoppable.

Or a regen blaster running IH, or a PB running lightform or... and the list probably goes on.

You taking the happy pills innigo?

I'm starting to feel the urge to bring Hackitoff out of retirement and turn him into a silent hunter of those with a broadcast message above their heads that leave the metallic taste of Whine.

i beg to disagree if i am fighting one on one i will never back down from a fight if there are a few heroes in one group then i will use my stalker tactics.

[/ QUOTE ]

You are one.Not the stalker population.Furthermore let me remind you that stalkers were not made to stand their ground.Against a scrapper you are bound to turn into a nice bowl of mashed potatoes if u go toe to toe.Against a controller you ll be held and sit there while the controller kills you.And finally against a blaster well good luck. Especially if we talk about blappers pulling some insane damage combos. The tanker i not mention because simply toe to toe you cannot kill.Oh and stnading ground actually means that you not run away for hide to come back so you pull AS.Means to actually stand ground which leaves your hide out of play.

[ QUOTE ]
I disagree that stalkers are a beginners at, i certainly am not a beginner infact i have fought a fair few scrappers and stood my ground.

[/ QUOTE ]

Explain me why u disagree because i certainly dont see why u believe is otherwise.

1)Which AT is easiest to pull a lot of kills while soloing in PvP even in a crowded area?

Stalker

2)Which AT is the easiest to create an effective PvP build no matter what the primary/secondary choice is?

Stalker

3)Which AT regardless of primary/secondary uses the same attack cycle in pvp and is common for everyone?

Stalker (BU,AS,Placate,Attack)

4)Which AT provides the safest way to pull a lot of PvP kills having the lowest risk vs reward index?

Stalker

This is why a stalker is a beginners AT in pvp.Is good to learn the ropes u dont need teams and certainly you can learn the game mechanics.

And thats why i said in hands of really experienced players a stalker is a pain.In the hands of inexperienced ones thinking they are the gods of pvp when they enter the pvp zone well is going to get messy for them and the spanking commences as soon as they hit AS.

Fighting a few scrappers and standing your ground doesnt make you a non beginner.

[/ QUOTE ]

I totally disagree with everything you said there.... nah not really .
A good Stalker is one that can kill you regardless of the precautions that you've taken. A good Stalker is one that has built his own toon to counteract the counteractions you have in place
And lastly a good stalker is one that the people he is killing can have a laugh with... It's all in the name of fun man

To be honest this is the same reason i stopped playing my stalker in Sirens. It had gotten to the point where i would stand at the side watching the rest of my team fighting because if i joined in then the heroes would simply hide in their base and complain profusely.
I know there were loads of decent players who enjoyed hunting me down or trying to kill me before i killed them, but nowadays it seems that just the moaners are left.

I would be interested.

Anyone have any toons they need some inf transferred to on Defiant? Could do with some transferred to my Union toon so a quick swap of a coupla mil would be handy if anyones up for it.

Cheers,
Zep.

Considering it's not on the trainingroom yet, I highly doubt it will be on live in 2 weeks!

If it did it wouldn't be the first time

Sounds just up my street, count me in as long as work permits

Let me know the ip etc for temspeak as i just installed and used it for the first time last night for PvP matches in the arena. I've got Ventrilo sitting on the desktop just now also

Yep i'd agree, it's a much more balanced environment. Had a great time there last night. Although the duels on the rooftops seemed to turn into a competition to see how long i could hold out against all of you every time it was my turn to fight someone lol I can see us Regens being in for a bit of a nerf again though

Glad to see Warberg coming into it's own.

Zep.

Lol it's Be-el ya cheeky git *points to Trousers * (although Be-el aint mine anymore ).
We're both back playin again, so much for trying to quit the game. Auto assault etc are great but couldnt do without CoH

Boo!

Hmm i may be interested in joining one of these PvP supergroups. I recently rejoined the game after a while away playing in a few betas. Before i left i pretty much spent all my time in PvP with all toons being built for it. And now that i'm playing again i doubt that will change as the rest of the game bores me now after over a year of playing it and i find PvP more worthwhile and fun than i do PvE these days.
Currently only a level 10 Spines/Regen Scrapper (Zep) on Union as the re-roll results from no slots left on defiant :P Just hoping the Union PvP community is as good as some of the Defianteers, nothing better than a challenge

Any PvP groups recruiting send me a PM and we can see if ya want me or not

Zeph.

Win = gain rep
Lose = lose rep

And sort out a reward system for the zones other than Sirens.

Also perhaps something along the lines of having 0-150 rep gets a +1 SO on cashing in of bounty. 150-300 rep gets a +2 SO upon cashing in of bounty. 300-400 rep gets a +3 SO upon cashing in of bounty.

All i've put above is what i would like to see implemented, if not that then something along those lines. If rep went up and down according to your performance i reckon it would improve things especially if it affected rewards from bounty in some way similar to what i outlined.

[Edit - i also think this would encourage people to PvP more strategically than they do atm. As it stands being killed loses you nothing]
