Energy transfer does the same ammount of damage out of hide; it just doesn't "damage" you then. So it's better to use hide with something that can crit, unless you're low on health.

Hmm but is there actually anything that will do the same amount of damage (barring AS) even with a crit?

No different than the usual name calling and griefing that results from the normally imbalanced conflicts that happen there every day. Every night someone loses the plot and starts shouting and swearing because they are outnumbered and being ganked. To be honest i'm starting to not really care now anyway, my interest in the game is slowly leaking away. Mostly because i'm bored, CoV didn't add anything new enough to hold me for longer than a couple of months after having already done it all over and over for the previous 8 months on CoH. In fact it was probably the PvP zones that kept me here for as long as this, but unfortunately the attitudes of people in the zones (yes i include those with their OMG! shouts when attacked during duels) and all the little hitlers are whats making my mind up to quit altogether as even PvP is becoming less and less fun every time.

From this post and others of yours it looks more to me that you think 1 on 1's have a place there one minute and not the next. Which is it?

It looks to me that i dont really like it but i respect it. And if you read the posts carefully its not the 1vs1 i dont like but the mentallity of some of those engaging 1vs1 thinking that this obliges the whole zone to it. 15 min ago someone started screaming on broadcast because he was attacked while watching a 1vs1. Like i said i not mind the 1vs1 and usually i not attack them unless i not realise its 1vs1 or miss the announcement. But the spectators are all up for a treat. especially when the 1vs1 is heal right across the villains base on the beach. Arena and observator is for 1vs1 and full spectator mode. As for the the "who are you to tell me i cant do 1vs1" of course noone can tell you that you cannot do 1vs1 but who is anyone to tell the rest that you cannot attack a 1vs1 when the zone was not designed for it and there are specific zones for duels and spectators. Works bothways.

I'm still confused. You say you don't mind 1 v 1 in one sentence then another you say that the Arena is for 1 v 1. In the arena you can have 1 v 1, you can have large battles. Ditto for the zones. Neither is specifically for one or the other and there has been no Dev saying so either. I doubt very much ANY rules will be put in place to stop 1 v 1's as theres no way they will alienate people by doing this. Besides it could never be enforced. Same as your CoC and other abreviations for things i can only guess at, if these were put in place they would in no way enforce them... they couldnt. No matter how many petitions that get sent over real griefing in any part of the game i am yet to hear about anything ever being done.

As you no doubt know and if not the other regulars of the zones will, i am not one for screaming when i get attacked in 1 v 1's, and i certainly never preach to anyone that they should leave 1 v 1's alone. I simply search for curtesy and when i find none i attack the offending person.... one dead hero/villain later ... problem solved and back to the 1 v 1.

Perhaps this sounds like a personal attack on you TG but its not, u just happened to reply to me on this subject. And i do truly find confusion in you various posts as to your stance on the subject. Yes you can clarify like in your last post by saying its not the 1 v 1's that you dislike but the moaners. But in the same posts and others you say things like 1 v 1 belongs in the arena. Does you bum get sore sitting on that fence?

[ QUOTE ]
When a whole zone stops pvping to watch a duel imho is not a good thing and certainly saying "Hey i am trying to watch the duel!!! Cant u see" is no excuse. Next step is to hand pop corn and beverages to the spectators and the pvp zones to be renamed to Arena. For spectating and duels there is the arena and the observator mode. I respect the duelists but having people on top of that say "OMG CANT U SEE I AM TRYING TO WATCH"..well omg no i cant see it.

I don't expect to never be interrupted. I take it for granted that at some point i will be

Perhaps this thread wasnt the place to vent my feelings on the subject as i admit it is a fairly tame one compared to some of the others that have sprung up over time.

As far as i've seen there have been a hell of a lot more threads/people in game complaining about the 1 on 1's than people having 1 on 1's complaining about being attacked. Personally if someone attacks while i'm involved in them i will politely tell them it's a 1 on 1 and ask to be left alone. If they persist i'll stop fighting and kill them instead.
There have been countless threads on this subject and to be honest i'm a bit sick of hearing the old Go to the Arena response. There are no rules in the pvp zones therefore nothing to say that 1 on 1's aren't acceptable (the same arguement that some use to say that they have no place in the zones). It all comes down to common curtesy, some have it some dont.

Would just like to add that i think this attitude of "If you want 1 on 1's go to the arena!!!!" sucks! Who are you people to tell anyone that they cannot have a 1 on 1? Who are you people to tell anyone that the pvp zones are not for 1 on 1's?
People can and will continue to have 1 on 1's in the zones whether some of you who complain about it like it or not.
Some of you think that the zones are not for 1 on 1's but have intelligent discussions about why you think this is so. It's the ones who bandy about the "If you want a 1 on1 go to the arena!" that piss me off. Are these people ruining your enjoyment of the game? No. Are these people affecting your game at all? No. If they are your bounty and they are involved in a 1 on 1, as i've said before kill them if you must clear it. But to simply attack because you are offended that people have the audacity to have a duel in YOUR zone is off IMO!.

Stalkers are, by definition, 1-on-1 killers. Even in teams, they essentially fight individuals.

Oh Oh! I feel toggles being turned into clickys, an increase in damage only to reduce it another way etc etc coming on

I hadn't really thought of it like that

Death defying and gravity defying? Nerf em!

I've got to ask. Why do we need the Devs to tell us that 1 v 1's are OK or not? We have brains, we have common sense, surely we can make our own minds up? Whether the devs say it is OK or not is not going to stop people attacking Duels and you know it.

On the subject of 1 on 1's i agree there shouldnt be a rule there that would prevent them being attacked while it is going on. However, 1 on 1's have their place in sirens etc just as much as in the arena, it all comes down to common curtesy. I'm not saying that if your bounty is constantly having 1 on 1's all night meaning you cant clear them you shouldn't attack, i would I just mean that 1 on 1's happen there, and usually they do no harm. So why not?

No offense to the original poster or those that have been victims of griefers in the pvp zones, but it just struck me how the most popular threads on the pvp sections are always the ones about griefing.

Fish wives i tell you, fish wives

That avatar is too hypnotic :/

Chealsea is correct, it overlaps with 3 SO's and no hasten.

Personally i would take air superiority over hover for pvp.
Hover isnt affected by SS.

As i am not level one i suppose i will never know and the OP was level 10 at the time of posting .

Do you have the tweezer temp power for removal of the caltrops embedded in the soles of your feet?

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, going hovering while in caltrops removes the slow element but not the damage, fascinating, isnt it?

Fascinating? Whatever rocks yer boat

I find them useful for pvp others may not, hey ho.

Shadow Punch recharges faster and is thus better for building Fury.

On the flip side... not much point in having full fury if u dont have decent attacks to back it up

I'd rather fire off Shadow Punch twice than Smite once .

I notice you are missing 'Smite'. A much better power than shadow punch.

I'm assuming this will be taking place in Sirens? I'd say it will be fairer *cough cough* if it is... no pets
