Could also make those orange res insps give tp protection. Dont know why all the protection from effects is just in BFs. If they gave different ones protection from different effects then players would maybe plan more what they take into PvP zones I reckon.

Any char of mine with the Rad set for instance needs little else other then BFs to stay alive most the time (+a great deal of RL luck ).

Edit: Hold up, Ive just made a Dev blaster, scrap that, TP is working well, no need to change it IMHO .

[/ QUOTE ]

May as well make an "I win!" inspitation to achieve and counter everything, seems the only way to keep some folks happy. If you pop "I wins" faster than your opponent you get to beat him. Honestly dont see why everyone wants to break the game all of a sudden.

ps. this isnt really aimed at gorgog in particular, his post was just the one i clicked to reply

BS Scrappers can do just as much damage as an AS. So I'd go for a BS, secondary is down to whether you want stealth yourself (DA) or something else and get someone to grant invis you.

[/ QUOTE ]

I suggested SR, totally so you can get focused senses & tactics for enough perception to see stalkers. If you did choose to make an invisible blaster I'd prolly add maximum defiance to the Aim + buildup + snipe

[ QUOTE ]
As the post title says, I was wondering which server has the most PvP activity? I'm really fond of PvP on most games and was wondering before I start my PvP char, which server would I find most activity on? Thanks in advance for the reply.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've PVP'd on both but mostly on union. Defiant seems a bit more busy, but also a bit cliquey which changes the flavour of pvp a bit. I think I enjoy union more but as i have time on my hands I still pvp on both. I believe some people from both servers meet up to pvp on the test server every now and then. I dont know if they do this is in the areana or "open" pvp such as sirens call.

Hmm I think a big reason why people dislike the use of tp foe in pvp is because their is little defence against it.

Having to roll a particular powerset for protection from it is IMO not that fair.

Heck, people complain about stalkers and as. Atleast any AT can build against that. Yet a Devices blaster can set up mines, caltrops etc and use TP foe, pretty much an instant kill on most AT's and we cannot do anything about it.

If it hits I think the Tp foe icon appears up in the corner where the HP bar is during the powers interupt time. I tryed to test this today but didnt really get a chance.

[ QUOTE ]
No I'm not going to start slagging off stalkers here.

Just thinking about creating a PvP specific Stalker.

Wrong forum? Actually I want a Hero stalker, so would such a thing be possible? Make a Stalker using a scrapper AT and having a friendly Ill/* controller to whack group invis and grant invis on you for the hide component, plus stealth.

Would such a thing be possible?

And if so which sets would be ideal etc?

[/ QUOTE ]

Logie asked me the same question a few days ago. We settled on a BS/SR scrapper using head splitter as the AS replacement. If you dont mind waiting you could also build a villian stalker and jump over to the hero side once thats possible.

top hats, monacles, B&W costume

[/ QUOTE ]

Top hats, yeah, B&W costumes, interesting... but monocles? Are those actualy available in-game? I seem to remember searching through the options for one when I was designing a Victorian Gentleman costume for my main... closest you can get is the 'tech' monocle', which is NOT 50's...

If there really are classic-style monocles available, please let me know where I can find them - it would really complete my costume!

[/ QUOTE ]

I just checked and it looks like your right.

"I didnt come here to fight" and variations are all funny as well.

[ QUOTE ]
P.S tping phasing and de-toggle aren't that dirty lol, it reminds me of being a kid and people saying kicking was cheap adn dirty cuz kicks have more power lol

[/ QUOTE ]

I think some people like a nice cup of tea and some cake with there pvp.
I remember a teacher in primary school breaking up a fight and giving one lad a bollocking because "kicking is a cowardly way of fighting".

Oh well, at least people arent complaining about stalkers for once. I dont see why people get there knickers in a twist over tp foe. Its a perfectly valid strategy for thinning out a large group of opponents bunched together and for grabbing an elusive player. There are also effective counter strategies and the accuracy seems pretty low anyway (actually, its probably about right). TPing in and out of bases depends on whether the devs want bases to be 100% safe zones, sticking an inpenitrable pff on someone when they are near the drones so they cant attack or be attacked would give us a safe zone. I like things the way they are just now, you can be port in/out, get attacked in your base, get sniped porting someone in, whats not fun with that? Possibly the only thing i'd change is make the hospital a 100% safe zone and remove players in base from the bounty system ie. they wont appear as anyone's bounty till they leave there base. The idea of making purple inspirations defend from tp foe is a good one as well, although i think he was maybe taking the mikey with it :P

[ QUOTE ]
Most admit being TPed every 5 seconds is a lil anoying as a squishy. Came up with an idea though... what if TP foe had a recharge of say 2mins?

Can still be used in PvE, not that I think its used much there anyway, and still used in PvP. Just not so much as to get on everyone's [censored].

[/ QUOTE ]

In that case put a 2 minute recharge on all holds cos they are annoying too.

[ QUOTE ]
People who TP foes into the drones are complete scum.

PvP is meant to be an enjoyable fight - not debt-harvesting for complete toss-bags.

[/ QUOTE ]
AFAIK, debt was removed from drones AGES ago.
I will personally TP someone into a drone if there is a large pack of villains at the hero entrance. If we need the space to breathe, or need to even the odds a little, i've never had qualms with doing that... especially when I get TP'ed out of the hospital. I wouldnt have any problems if they finally implemented something to prevent fire being exchanged over the safe-boundary, or even just teleports. Thats kind of an addition a lot of us have been waiting for..

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed, if getting tp'd into a drone is too painful for you then move a little further away from them.

Any sentence that gets interupted midwwwwwwwwww2111111111 oarg! you got me when i was typing!

I think the minions are the ones in the same room as the boss. So you can stealth past everything up to there.

Bah! someone stole my TP 2 mobs strategy I was going to use :P

[/ QUOTE ]

You can still use it - it sounds pretty deadly...

[/ QUOTE ]

I can, and will. Just wanted to be the 1st, or at least the most hated *grin evily*

[/ QUOTE ]

If you use it all the time, I'm sure you'll win the most hated title, if that's what you're striving for...

[/ QUOTE ]

Mostly I just want something thats effective and fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fun for whom?

[/ QUOTE ]

I've used it before, and it's like Stalkers. Not really fun, but DAMN is it effective.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fun for me of course
But your right, TP'd into an instakill isnt a fun way to go down, the reason so many people complain about stalkers, and prolly why I wont overdo it.

i have an energy energy blaster i have nooo probs taking down stalkers dude. just gotta learn to hunt them

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, after reading his 2nd last post I looked at the powers in EN/EN and withing 10 - 20 seconds already had the guts of an anti-stalker strategy figured out. When I 1st entered the PVP zones I was playing a kin/elec defender and stalkers were a nightmare. By altering my strategy, assessing my powers, playing to my strengths I eventually built a strategy to deal with most of them. Sure, the great ones still kill me, but the wee plonkers usually run off.

Hi
"They came from the 1950's" is a villain SG on defiant with a 1950's villain theme. Immediate promotion for following the theme of the group (top hats, monacles, B&W costume) although everyone is welcome.
If your interested either send me a PM or you can speak to "unlucky charm" or "doctor flesh" in game.

hello everyone

Well im quite new to this game 3 weeks play time,and have a lv 26 scrapper i admit im not the best player but a group of friends decided to go into the pvp zone so i taged along,

and we just got dominated by the stalkers ? it seemed like they took me out with no more than 1 or 2 hits with 3 def skills on ? assasin strike and it wasent just me even the tanks were geting took out in 1 or 2 hits aswell ? someone said fire aura ect should slow them down and all this it got to a point when the game became no fun with them camped outside the hospital is it only me who thinks this is rather unbalanced seeing as they take little skill to play and be effective and no one wonts to stay and get killed 100 times its just not fun.. and reading some of the above posts it dsent seem that challengeing to lv with that char type... I have COH & COV not installed it yet as i wonted to get to lv 50 first with my char before starting a new thing... i will now not do any pvp as it dosent seem a worthwhile and balanced aspect ??? in the game

[/ QUOTE ]

Which character and server?
There are a few stalkerbusters around you could maybe team with. Part of the problem is such a high learning curve for new players, exaserbated by the different zone caps (bigger players are in sirens/warburg and the newbies in bloody bay have no one to learn from).

pfft!
Who cares, i got 48 rep on my defender. Beat that :P

You know your having fun when you manage to outsmart and drop a powerful player accompanied by trembling in your hands.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, following on from that, is there just as much satisfaction in taking down an enemy when there's no one else around, or is the pleasure of victory increased if your foe is humiliated in front of others, preferably her/his team-mates?



[/ QUOTE ]

First off theres a certain tone in your post I'm not sure I like. Anyway, to answer your question, I'm not really sure. I tend to get so focused on the current kill that his/her friends arent really important to me. On top of that, I havent had the trembling hands from this game yet, I was drawing from my time spent in the MUDing world. Hopefully things will get a lot more exciting sometime soon, maybe when I build my mob teleporting pvp toon cheap kills ahoy

[/ QUOTE ]

What didn't you like about it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Things like the register of a paragraph are heard to explain, but its mostly the use of the word humiliate. As if I'm going out my way to make someone feel bad or look silly and gaining some form of sadistic pleasure. Thats the impression I get anyway.
