Ah those issues always bite.
Hope it gets resolved and you're back soon. -
It's not a bad idea, especially with dual builds. You could just have a SO build or basic IO build of your toon and go from there.
I'd rather see a PvP school thing though, where you teach people about attack chains (lol) evasion (with suppression, so bad) and inspiration management etc.
Good idea Elf. -
Sundays would be ideal for me as well, Fridays are always rough.
-
More stuff for my 50s to do, whether it's Task Forces, arcs, IOs, whatever.
-
I don't want to add to the ELF STALKER legend, but it's a little known fact that the only match that Ajax's TPVPL team lost in the day was one where ELF STALKER was sitting.
Coincidence or...ELF STALKER was just that good?
-
I need this on Neuro still so add my 50 Mind/Bubbler.
-
I used to flip a piece of base salvage, think it was Aberrant Tech or somesuch. I'd buy 10 sell 10 over and over and over. That got me a few badges.
Mostly though, I just emptied my salvage into Went's after each play session and they sales came quite quickly. 80 salvage + 20 recipes per session adds up. -
From what I understand Lib and I won a prize and there was something for Asher and yourself (not sure about this last part).
Afterwards there was a bonus round for fun.
Talk to Trez in our global channel, he'll tell you what's going on. -
Sweet!
Thanks Devs for another great quality of life addition! -
Elf, learn to perspective already.
This isn't a hardcore ladder like they had on Test or the other servers.
This is a ladder so newbies can learn to PvP and learn their build's strengths and weaknesses and have some fun and chill and make new friends in a part of the game they don't get involved in...
(Helloooooooo run-on sentence!)
Basically, he doesn't want this to devolve to how the old duel ladder was when everyone was on a Fortunata before they scaled back Elusivity, or everyone just being on a FOTM. It's about variety and cutting loose not mad auditions for l33t PvP ladder teams or anything.
I'll be bringing my Illusion/Trick Arrow to Champion for this once she is IOd out. I'm willing to drop $20-$40 per week to move her back and forth from Pinnacle to Champion between PvE/PvP Events. Heck, if I can get my Peacebringer to 50 I might just use that for laughs.
I know I'll get farmed but lol if I win a match with a Trick Arrow.
Just bring something fun and don't worry about the e-peen for once. People on CHamps know you are decent, do this to help people with their learning and skills instead of curbstomping them etc.
(Also, lol @ En3my having trouble beating certain ATs and did you ever fight Unholy Weapon, Blue on his Ice/EM, etc etc...those guys were beasts). -
Yep I've seen this.
I was also snipe cancelling on my Mind/Fire last night to get Dom up...though to be fair that may have been excessive -
K, so lft.
Global: @Neuronia
Toons:
50 Rad/Therm/Mako (IOd/Accod)
50 Emp/Psy/TK (IOd/Accod)
50 Kat/Regen/Devices (IOd/Accod)
50 Spine/SR/Body Mastery (IOd/Accod)
50 MA/SR/Body Mastery
50 Illusion/Trick Arrow/Ice (Will be 50 by the time this is done, should be Accod/IOd as well)
50 Storm/Sonic/Primal (Not IOd, half Accod)
That's the basic stuff. I suppose I could server transfer something as well. -
JK has some stuff of his own prepared prize-wise and so on.
Here's the rundown:
Meet in Pocket D
10 Minute matches
Super Heavy Weight (47-50)
2 vs. 2, no repeating ATs
Tier 1 Inspirations and Arena temps only
Random map unless both parties agree to a map
One match only.
Arena Settings:
Diminishing Returns ON
Heal Decay OFF
Travel Suppression OFF
Sign up your teams in this thread. From what JK has said he's looking at a 4 week season. We'll likely do this on Sundays at Pocket D, but you can reschedule to a later date in the week if that isn't convenient for you.
Matches not reported in the thread (this one or a score thread) or to JK/myself will be considered forfeit by the team that did not show.
This is more for matches outside the scheduled night, as it's likely myself or JK will be around on the Sundays.
Taking signups until after Thanksgiving (November 30) and will start the Sunday of that week.
Sign up as follows:
Team Name
Global #1
Global #2
If you are looking for a partner, sign up as follows:
Your global: @Whatever
Any ATs you can bring to the table: Rad/Therm, Emp, Storm, Scrappers, Tankers etc etc.
Remember this is in good fun and sportsmanship. While trashtalking is fine between people you know, it offputs a lot of newer PvPers.
Also, no spawn camping folks
I'll start a new thread for the results and will see about donating stuff to the league winners.
(JK correct as needed, etc.)
LET'S GET IT ON!!!!

Quote:JK and I talked about it. We originally wanted a 5 vs. 5 but that was a little too ambitious at the moment. We went with 2 vs. 2 for various reasons:So it's changed? 2 vs 2 now? And Heal Decay was ON before. So basically two main points has changed then? (I don't remember about the diminishing returns thing. I don't remember messing w/the settings on that, I think I just left it on default.) Or did Neuronia talk to JK about something that I don't know of.
Well, if it's 2 vs 2, then I'm guessing TEAM HUGS 2.0 won't make a come back since last season it was 3 vs 3. But if Neuronia is wrong, and it's 3 vs 3 again... then <ahem ahem> .. yooo hooo... JKwervooooo... ask Kiwi if she wants to do Team Hugs 2.0 or not *giggles*.
But, I'll join for the fun of it, even if it is 2 vs 2. I pity my team mate, I suck at PvP :P
Much easier to get teams started
Having two people show up is easier than three
Should increase the 'pace' of matches.
Last time the settings we used was DR On, TS Off, HD On. Removing HD makes the match settings open ot a few more ATs. IE, people can bring their Regens and click a little more, people can bring an Emp or Therm or Pain and not instadie after a few spikes.
Quote:Also, please start a new thread if at all possible. I wouldn't have looked at this thread if Machina hadn't told me to post. I haven't really looked at the forums much lately actually. Since the migration to the new Forums, my computers at work block me from looking at the forums *sigh*.

Lib and I won 6-2 or 7-1 or something against Trez's Brute and a Thugs/Traps (?) Mastermind.
Thanks for hosting, <3 MK Ultra as a partner. -

Quote:I've got little in the way of PvP toons on Champ atm. I'll level my PB to 50 though and run with her for a bit, since she's kitted out. I'll eventually bring out the Therm too.A pvp class is already in the works.
And I have created a pvp Vg, So anyone who thinks that there arent any Villains to face in RV havent been there for the last few weeks.
I hope you do come back to Campion Neuronia, we need more experienced Heroes to work together.
Lastly, pvp has started to show a bit of growth on champion, we were doing 8v8 Kb's the other day...during the week at that.
Throw my Corr an invite sometime and I'll help out redside -
kk I'm in as always.
IOd toons:
50 Rad/Therm/Mako Corr
50 Emp/Psy/TK Emp
50 Kat/Regen/Devices Scrap
(Soon) 50 Ill/Trick Arrow/Ice Controller <--- lol TA but I was bored and wanted to IO something for laughs.
50 Spine/SR Scrap
50 Storm/Sonic, but soooo not Accod/completely IOd...
Just /t @Neuronia me or PM me on the forums if you want some help. -
Quote:I lold irl at this.well I was going to the bar's when I was 17 and Kind sir I am old enough to do many things. Well recently people haven't been switching to help the other side. They been mainly been just camping the bases with a fire and marshmellow on a stick. Stalkers are fun and I reck people for many months...but Corruptor were more need on the redside. Even though Thermal is primary target for the heroes its fun to evade.Me evading helps my team pick up our targets. It would be nice to see some new faces in PvP scene. add that 101 pvp channel and test your luck in RV.
I'll get around to levelling my Therm to 50 on Champ some day, throw in some SOs and get wrecked in RV.
6 slotted Flurry ftw.
As for the new faces...it's hard to get them to stick. We had some new peeps at the event Kat hosted but the problem is they got farmed over and over. If they aren't frustrated and stop PvPing after that then they might actually keep up and learn.
It really does take a different mindset to laugh off going from 1600 - 0 HP in a few seconds, heal up and come up for more.
Maybe someone (En3my and I and you and others...) should make a PvP school on A Sunday or something. Hmmm -
My biggest problems with PvPing on Champion:
1)Not really any SGs to run the Phalanx TFs/Maria arcs/SFs or farming SGs to get Accod out
2)No reason to PvP on heroes, tbh.
I'll continue to Acco/IO my toons on Pinnacle and Infinity, then server transfer them here once they're done as I can knock off most of the Phalanx TFs in a matter of weeks (or less) or just get PL etc redside, as dead as redside is on Pinn (it's nice on Infinity).
With the persistent anti-farming stances on Champion, I'll get that work done elsewhere then just move my vills/heroes here as needed.
Of course, the biggest problems with zones is people want to be on the winning side.
They had an event on Pinnacle a while back for the RV badges, just a group of 20 heroes to 2-3 vills. Got bored and went to my Therm, we got some more vills and it became somewhat more even, though the heroes still had more coordination etc.
What really needs be done is a queing system for zones:
Click on the queue, get assigned to a team and go from there.
Unfortunately, with the low PvP pop this is unlikely to happen.
Have fun in the zones. -
Quote:Just on this topic, I think the VEATs have a higher perc cap (one of them anyway); some teams were bringing I think the Spiders to combat Stalker teams in the day.Depends What you are fighting. A stalker(may be the same for other AT's as well, not sure) activating Invis will instantly go into a 600ft+ stealth radius..even with toggles on him. I do it everytime i get radded on my stalker. All he has to do after that is break enough distance between you and himself or line of sight even.
With tactics and +perception IO you arent at the perception cap, and any toon with high a high stealth power +Stealth IO can break LoS fairly easy..not to mention that you are probably being travel suppressed while they are already breaking off from you in *stealth*, thus making it harder for you to keep LoS anyway.
Non stealth classes (toons without a stealth in the primary or secondary) should be easier for you to track, given that they dont have invis and a stealth IO too.
*Edited*
The +perc IO gives 20% perception bonus to what you have. I think the base perception is 500ft and tactics adds 432.5ft (for a defender) to that giving you 932.5+ 20% = 1119 ft - 611ft(invis) which is 508 ft. And since the base perception is 500ft, it makes it seem as if you only had and extra 8ft of perception (not 100% sure if this is right).
My suggestion is to hit every target instantly after the FIRST toggle is applied, dont wait for the second one, then once you hit that person, apply the second toggle on them.
Peritus did a perception table back in the day, let me dig it up...
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...hlight=Stealth
There we go. Please note there are/used to be other stuff that poked through stealth:
IIRC, Mastermind pets were able to spot Stalkers. Don't know if this still works though.
Occasionally, you'll 'see' a Stalker out of stealth at a certain range.
Thanks for the channel etc. -
Welcome Hatch.
You'll want to tell @Cobalt Azurean, @Cutlass or @Myrmydon (?) for an invite to the global teaming channel, BMT of Champion.
Enjoy your stay, hit me up @Neuronia if you need a little influence/infamy to start yourself off.
Edited, sorry Blue Man. -
Quote:Put it this way Lady Sadako:The Devs didn't just wake up one morning and say 'hey let's hire that guy, he writes good arcs'. They advertised the position of Mission Designer and Feargas was the successful applicant.
You got a Dev's Choice arc, so did Dispari and many others. Where is your job and where is their job?
My only point is that hiring a player sets a very dangerous precendent. It reeks of favouritism toward that particular player (not that the whole Dev's Choice fiasco didn't do that already). There is the concern that the hired player will show favour to his or her global friends list when examining potential rewards tied to the Architect.
Quote:Looks like they're hiring a Games Engineer right now. 'Interest in game design and what makes games fun' is preferred. Do you know any PvP experts who might be interested?
Just as base experts should be considered for that iteration as well.
The developers have opened the door here. If there are no more player-based hires, it will look odd. If there are player-based hires, then this looks great.
Congrats to Fearghas on his new position. -
Soo...if a good MA writer got to get hired, how about a good PvPer gets hired to, you know, examine PvP?
