I'll be making cameo appearances here and there for a bit.

Bleak was rocking some of my toons for a bit... now I have to figure out where all the goodies are and then I'll be ready to enjoy dead pvp.

A quick search didn't turn anything up, but has anyone noticed that the Mastermind version of Web Envelope doesn't prevent knockback?

I can use it to immobilize a lot of guys if they're bunched up good, but as soon as the bots start shooting, the webbed enemies start getting tossed around like rag-dolls. Which is annoying if you're trying to keep the immobilized enemies in the incendiary rockets' burn patches

That's pretty common for all immobs as far as I know. Is it supposed to lock them down?

This is a fantastic guide!
The only thing I would add is to the Assasinating in Teams section: Don't be a schmuck Stalker. Just like in the approach in PvP, AS the foes that are of more import to the team. This is highly relevant in the upper levels. Take out Longbow Spec Ops and Malta Sappers first! These buggers can turn the mission from a well oiled xp-fest to a team wipe. Too many times I've seen the Stalker AT wasted in these situations. The Stalker could have taken out the endurance draining foe, but chose to stick a toothpick into a Boss, EB, Hero, AV, and the result is that the Spec Ops saps the teams 'ruptor, MM, or whoever that takes your team nigh unbeatable to all defeated. Or worse yet, all defeated but the Stalker. I've seen that waaaaaaaaaay too many times.

Just my 2 cents.

Great guide though, and I plan on using it, alot! Thanks.

Well, I have been running around there with both my MM and my Tanker. Yeah, there is alot of Villain base camping... on both sides.
I have never been in RV when the villains outnumbered the heroes.
I'm sure it has happened, but not in the umpteen hours I have spent there recently. So if they stick close to where they have some advantage, can you really blame them?
I have never seen the Freedom Phalanx appear, but the Patrons and Lord Recluse are allways there. Why? Because the vills can't get out of the base... either by choice or because there is 20 heroes out there.
Don't forget that there are alot of Hamidon enhanced true level 50s out there, whilst the brave vills are more than likely 40 maybe 41. *waves little flag*
The main point of my ramble is... you get what you get. It's a pvp zone... frickin' devs should put giant 'No Whining' signs at the entrances.
Chat banned for emoting? bah! Get some real chat ban stuff going on. '[censored] you guys r total wussies!!!', sez the level 50 tanker with 23 heroes behind him to the little Mastermind quivering in his boots just inside the drone zone. 'Uh, sir, there is not uhhh 8 Villains here. I just spawned my Ninja's and Dark Servant. Oh, I've wet myself... I'm sorry... Dammit, Dark Servant, don't tp drone them!!!!! /em slap /em slap /em slap /em slap /em slap *chat ban* *aaaaaaaaaaargh Now I cannot even yell at my pets!!!*

Waitaminnit..... who gives the super-evil-bundt-cake?

Gawd! What a horribly well named company. Cryptic.
Could you be more cryptic.
I am freakin' sick of this carrot out in front of us for so long.
Look, I'm an addict... been here since 6/04. Not going anywhere.
Oh, sure.... I'll take my usual semi-regular sabbaticals to rehab and whatnot... But for the love of Hatesman, give us the dayaaaaaaam info!

Please??
/e whine

I love Barrage.
Fast power.
Good DPS.
Great animation.

Good point.
The whole 25 second clock restart seems to be the easiest and simplest fix. And has been mentioned numerous times.
Time to implement that bad boy.
I'm just frustrated and want punishments doled out for the griefers.
The other nite when the cheating Annointed Boobhood showed up to grief, it was in response to some of them getting owned. So the called in the cavalry. To what? To take us down, which they could have, in open fair play? Nope, to grief at the hospital.
Those type of players, however it can be determined, should be punished. It is harassment and in violation of the terms of agreement they agreed to upon purchasing this game.
I think we should post a dev in all these zones for a bit, hehe.
Wouldn't that be kewl if Statesman or Blood Widow just popped up at level 50 in a level 38 zone, and started meeting out justice to the griefers.

I will never grief.
I will kick your butt fair and square or get mine kicked in the process. Hollow victories are just that: hollow.

At that point, it is no longer fair game play, its greifing. It is interrupting someone's ability to play the game.

Which is a violation of the Rules of Conduct:
"1. While playing City of Heroes , you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players."

Griefing and Ganking cause distress.

I have experienced a few episodes of this on Infinity. Mostly at the hands of Annointed Brotherhood and their spinoff SGs.

I love to PvP. I can be quite good at it. But there is no chance for a team of 5 Villains versus 15-20 heroes running around the Villain Base with impunity. In the hospital. Behind the copter (no drone there? c'mon!). Up on the crane tracks.

This really is a flawed design, and needs to be addressed immediately. I got a pm back from States and he says, "On it."
We'll see.

I don't mind going down in PvP fair and square, but gankers, campers, are cheaters. Should be punished. I think the rep to zero thing has merit, couple that with a counter that = 10 reductions of rep to zero = banned.
