The zone itself and most of the missions I've done in it are irritating enough to me that if I'm on a team that insists on going there I'll drop them almost as quickly as if they were insisting on going to a PvP zone.

Seems to me like it would increase the drain.

So just a brief question, is it still "lolretarded" to slot brawl, or is it accepted these days as a viable "mule" power to add slots to for a set bonus? Thanks

This is not true. When you're running the Sister Psyche TF, at less than max level for it, with SO only toons that haven't been twinked out with a fortune from a higher level toon, and 6 of your 8 players drop leaving just an archery blaster and a tanker who has not soft capped or maxed out his resists (I forget exactly what kind of tank the guy was) you will find that there are things in the game you simply cannot beat, full stop.

The two of us decided we would pick up Shivans and make another attempt, because we could get Clamor down to almost half health before she finished us off. So we hit Bloody Bay, and the aforementioned Stalker and Brute started ganking us, camping the firebases and basically making ***** of themselves, considering they were just chain-ganking us, clearly not making any rep for most of the kills.

To me, that's not someone being a friendly competitor (Which is something that barely exists anyway, despite the fiction people would like to maintain about competitive activities in general) but rather someone acting like a schoolyard bully.

This duo of people obviously were not seeking an actual challenge, but rather just wanted to have fun by making things not fun for others, griefing, in short. And yes, I have zero respect for PvPers who talk about the challenge of PvP and how PvE is so lame and boring because it's too easy, and then spend their time ganking people who have not built their toons for PvP, do not have a PvP skillset as a player, and will not provide any kind of challenging fight. This is bullying to me, not gaming.

This was in the wee hours of the morning, which is why I had suggested we should hit the zone, thinking it would be empty. The fact that this duo of villains were camping the zone at an hour when there was clearly not going to be any competition tells me they were there to be jerks to people who only want to pick up a Shivan and get out.

So we decide if we sit in the longbow base by the helicopter, they might get bored and go home. No such luck, they start teleporting us out of the base and ganking us. My blaster has a raptor pack and neither of these guys can fly, or even superjump, but the tanker is getting owned.

My response to bullies in the real world has always been to punch them in the nose. So I told my friend, after tricking the jerks into getting droned, to go and sneak out along a route he wouldn't likely be seen while the two were coming back, and I set a trap for them. I switched to a squishy toon, and waited in the base like I was there for the zone time badge. They couldn't resit the bait and tp'd me again. Sadly for them the squishy I had switched to was my level 50 completely IO'd out Fire/Kin farmer. Who already had a full set of Shivans. And an Amy.

The instant I was tp'd I summoned the Shivan. Hot feet did what I expected and revealed the incompetent stalker by doing some damage. I slapped him with my hold and summoned Amy and he was dead before the Brute could really wade in, which meant he ended up dying too.

Final proof that they were pathetic little bullies? They left the zone.

Again, satisfying, but not in the least way fun.

Tanker friend got his Shivans, I switched back to my Blaster, and we went and finished off Clamor and succeeded at the TF. That was fun.

However, I'd be happy if they removed Shivans from the game entirely, as long as they take them out of PvP zones.

PS: Make all the fancy arguments you want, but I know every last one of you PvPers who want the Shivans and Nukes kept in the PvP zones are just bullies who like to beat up on people who can't or won't fight back. There's no good reason to keep them there other than to bring people who don't want to PvP into PvP zones, and the only reason you would want that is if you are a bully who enjoys causing others grief. End of story.

Mine's IO'd out and has no issues with AVs as long they aren't immune/highly resistant to fire. With /SR, you have no psi hole, soft-capping and attaining 95% DDR is easy while still squeezing in Aid Self. The downside is that /SR doesn't have /Shield's AAO for the higher ST damage and Shield Charge, which is immensely fun.
