For a moment humor me and let's pretend PvP was presented in another way. Say you were playing on your hero and working on a story line. At the end you were offered a special optional mission. The contact received a tip that a bank was going to be robbed and wants you to defend it. The mission map is one of the regular bank missions and if you accept you spawn in the vault room. Meanwhile random pc villain xx spawns at the mission entrance and starts making their way toward the vault.

For discussion sake, lets imagine that if the devs were going to institute competitive pvp missions they would make sure the system was balanced first. No archetype would have an inherent advantage over others in this imaginary system. Also, imagine that while in this mission, the i13 changes do not apply to either characters and powers are viable in both pve and pvp.

If you defeat the villain, you have successfully stopped the bank robbery and are given an adequate reward for your time invested. If you are defeated, the villain successfully robs the bank. You are still given a reward (less then if they had won) for your valiant efforts in stopping the villain.

Would you honestly not participate in such missions simply because they are pvp related? If there was balanced, goal-based pvp would you still not participate?

I like this guy.

I believe what you're referring to was one of the posts made by castle saying they weren't going to revisit pvp at soonest until after GR was released.

Here its is....

With Issue 19 being dedicated to Incarnates, I wouldn't expect another pvp revision until I20 at soonest... Maybe this time next year. PvP community should be mostly gone by that point, so it'll be a fresh start :/

What's the problem? Can't navigate his maze?

Defense bonuses usually come from cheaper sets, so its possible. One thing to note is that if you have mask presence activated when you're checking stats in Mids, it uses the unsuppressed value. MP suppresses during combat so don't have it active when you're looking in mids, just add the suppressed value afterward.

My slotted mask presence grants 3.92% defense, activating it in mids grants 11.8%. This value is correct out of combat, but once you engage it drops to the suppressed value.

Much appreciated

EB yes. AV, not even close with that attack chain.

As a side note, AVs have regen debuff resistance, the reason that it works well with things like rad is because lr has -500% regen. Widows can't get anywhere near that number so its totally ineffective.

MA > Claws. Follow-up doesn't work so well in pvp because people tend to move around a lot.

Regen is the far better choice in pvp. WP is not very good unless you're fiteclubbin, even then Regen is probably still superior

Yes

I don't like this

I have made no such statements, but this is a good impression of me. +1

True, but the formed teams shouldn't be held up by the newer ones. The ladder only needs 2 ready teams to begin, if Silit and another team are ready let them start. We'll jump in and challenge someone when we're ready.

I'd rather the newer teams be a little slow to start then the ladder fall apart because people get tired of waiting and find something else to do. Also if they start it up, perhaps the stragglers will get there act together and things will really start moving.
