I think everyone on Liberty is just grand - you're all nice!

Heck, a tanker one shotted my stalker before. (Rage + KB)

[/ QUOTE ]
Rage + Knockout Blow alone isn't enough to one-shot a Stalker - the Tanker was very likely buffed up the wazoo and you were probably also debuffed.

Has anyone else noticed the turrets now doing copious amounts of DoT fire damage? I helped attack a villain pillbox last night and noticed my health dropping quite rapidly. I checked the combat log and noticed the turrets were doing ticks of 25-30 points of fire damage. Oh yeah, I was on my Tanker.

[ QUOTE ]
i like the idea of not taunting off another taunter. but honestly i'm down for anything which makes it so tanks are pvp-able

[/ QUOTE ]
Agreed, and I personally feel PvPGauntlet is a step in the right direction and makes Tankers more valued in PvP scenarios.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
PvPGauntlet doesn't appear to be hitting all that often; is there any chance we can get _Castle_ or someone else to give us the numbers on this one?

Thanks in advance.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can't really give you numbers, since every power is different. It's calculated in the same manner that Endurance cost is, however, so the more end a power costs, the greater its chance for Taunt.

Chances range from 6.7% to 43.5% per attack (well, aside from 1 bug I just found, which gives a 100% chance to one power. Grr!)

[/ QUOTE ]
So in theory, if you want to taunt a villain (without using Taunt itself), use your heaviest attack first (e.g. Foot Stomp, Knockout Blow, Total Focus, Seismic Smash, etc.). Thanks _Castle_, that's the sort of info I was looking for.

Hopefully they can get our inherent to work in PvP, I think that will bring back what some of us miss about being a tanker. I look forward to respecing...again *sigh* and giving it another go.

[/ QUOTE ]
_Castle_ has mentioned that Gauntlet will be coming to PvP; we just don't know exactly how it's going to work if any different to PvEGauntlet.

[ QUOTE ]
I7 changes:

1) Working on Oil Slick. I think I have the 'oil doesn't always light' bug fixed (hard to tell - it never failed on my box, but it was replicatable here.) I refered the 'wrong team in PvP zones' issue to programming.
2) Poison Gas Arrow -- this should work the same for all AT's now.
3) Archery: Fistful of Arrows, Rain of Arrows and Ranged Shot animations shortened.

w00t!

PvPTaunt changes: When a player is being taunted, the effect can now be broken by running a good distance away. Additionally, hiding out of LOS of the taunter will cause the effect to expire sooner.


[/ QUOTE ]

This is being tested on Test right now...


Yeah...

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't know if this is I7 or before but...Guantlet will work in PvP soon.

[/ QUOTE ]

With all the unresistable damage in PvP, i sort of wish it didnt.

[/ QUOTE ]
My guess is that PvP-Gauntlet will be a single-target Taunt with a minor chance of taunting the attacked target. Conceptually, the more punches a Tanker lands on an opponent, the more likely the target will be taunted.

That's just my hunch.

So does that mean Brutes single target taunt ability will workin in PvP as well in the future?

[/ QUOTE ]
Brutes don't get Gauntlet, thus this is unlikely to affect Brutes.

I can also recall just after release a PvP bug that allowed a Brute's own version of "punchvoke" to work in PvP , this error was corrected; a Brute's punches was taunting an opponent.

Can anybody say, "Love for Tankers!"? De-toggling is being "reined in" and now a use for Gauntlet in PvP.

But I wonder, how will Gauntlet be used in PvP? Will it affect targets in the same way that it does in PvE or will it be watered-down somewhat? There's also the possibility of giving Gauntlet a completely new functionality in PvP. Hmmmm.

Details, Devs! We want details!

Can Blasters get some more unresistable damage to compensate? Since even with detoggling we where pretty ineffective against tankers.

[/ QUOTE ]
30 per cent unresistable damage isn't enough for you? There is more than one way to skin a cat, you know?

[/ QUOTE ]

Tell that to any Blaster that has to contend with a Stone Tanker in Granite. Not going to happen.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well you're quite right; a single Blaster shouldn't be able to beat a Stone Tanker using Granite, an Invulnerability Tanker using Unstoppable (until it drops), an Ice tanker using Hibernate or a Fire Tanker... well, a Fire Tanker's 32 power is a rez power . I'm not saying it's impossible, just very unlikely.

If you're fighting in the Arena, take level 32 powers out of the equation - lower the "weight" at which the duel will be set, you'll get different results this way. Or you could even take your fights to Bloody Bay or Siren's Call, both places where Granite/Unstoppable/Hibernate aren't an issue.

Detoggling isn't going away. But, it is being reigned in by a large margin.

[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks for updating us on this, Castle, but would we be able to get a bit more information on this? To what extent is toggle-dropping being "reigned in"? Can you give us a small example? e.g. How would a Tanker now stand up to an */Energy Manipulation Blaster?

[ QUOTE ]
Oh Cuppa!!! How about the badge name for getting 200 badges, suggested on these boards by a gal named Jo???

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ][*] name for 200 badges badge was suggested on board and implemented (I think it is Trailblazer)

[/ QUOTE ]
'Trailblazer' is correct.

dont lie magnus... THEY WERE WASTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oni, what do you think I meant by this:

"You guys were quite amusing in your 'state'."

Trust me, I wasn't talking about any geographical location.

Heya!

I just wanted tip tip my hat to The Legion folks who I teamed up with and chatted with (on Vent) in Siren's Call today. You guys were quite amusing in your "state".

Shout outs to:

Faith
Teh Scarab
Shad
Skull

And the others that were online whose names escape me at the moment. You guys are awesome, thanks again for the fun!

[ QUOTE ]
I'm gonna go with my aussie friends:

RU I N.
Eternal Lotus
DR-Infinity
and all their alts

[/ QUOTE ]
Wow! There are other Aussies playing on Liberty?!?

Send me a tell in-game if you want someone to play with during like hours.

By the way, Foo is a nice person.

You see! Everyone wants to be like Foo.

magnus is the most horrible person in Liberty... He eats babies and aussies...

Magnus has a baby aussie......every night for a snack

[/ QUOTE ]
Didn't you know? The best tasting babies are from the U.S. ordered on ebay.

Statesman taught me everything he knows. *twitch*

Arclight,

I return the sentiments by acknowledging you as one of the gentlemen of Liberty, and as we say here down-under:

"Top sport, top bloke... legend"

Peace!

Hover: We might buff it some, at some point. However, it should never be an effective travel power.

Flight: I'll talk to geko about it. No promises. (I got spoiled by the Holiday Jet Pack, too!)

[/ QUOTE ]
We just need a bit more speed, that's all. As far as Flight goes, not a dramatic buff to speed, but enough to make it just as attractive as a travel power when compared to Super Speed or Super Jump.

I'm going to add Hand of Toku(I've forgotten the rest of your name), a ninja Mastermind, and Neo Psyco(spelling?), a Mind/Energy Dominater, to my list. Both villains put up a good fight in Siren's Call today and so I just wanted to thank them for their sportsmanship.

Thanks again guys!
