Quote:except that those powers that get the damage bonus, don't have the same effect on pve foes. in zone, your powers work the same as they do in pve, on pve targets.Off the top of my head I can't think of any sets that benefit overall, but there are some powers that deal quite a bit more damage in PvP zones to due their animation times. I think pool power attacks are the best example, but I know there are other primary/secondary set powers that get a bonus to damage as well. So PvE'ing does make a little bit of sense, especially if the server is low pop and you get few interruptions.
for instance, in pvp, the KM t9, Concentrated strike, does on average 800 damage excluding procs on another player (horribly broken and wont get fixed, but thats a different story). on a pve target in zone, it'll do the same damage it would in pve.
the big difference is you still have all the stuff that hinders your defensive ability i.e. heal decay, travel supression, DR on your defenses. so PvEing in a pvp zone, even with your powers working the same way in terms of damage, is made exponentially harder for no extra reward. theres no sense in it.
also, the fact that you didn't know this, basically proves my point that asking pver's about pvp anything is just as completely and utterly pointless as PvEing in a pvp zone. -
you're trying to ask PvEr's about pvp? even pve'ing in a pvp environment?
that makes about as much sense as wanting to pve in a pvp environment -
Quote:because that would make sense.One thing I've been wondering - why doesn't the reward merit formula take into account the completion rate?
and because they would have never had to use it for anything before CoP because nothing has been overly difficult for it to affect the rewards. everything is so easy its more effective to say "okay, its not a matter of if they finish, but when they finish our numerous overly simplistic tasks". even in pasts events were the reward and difficulty don't match up, they've just toned down the difficulty.
pure brilliance if you ask me. -
Quote:yes, it does imply that he doesn't like anyother pvp mmo on the market. it doesn't imply that s/he thinks cox has the best pvp on the market, which is what your original statement was.Not at all. You stated that you plan to leave the moment you find an MMO with decent PvP. That sounds like a pretty solid statement that you do not like the PvP of ANY MMO currently on the market.
it probably means that s/he, like the rest of the pvp community that is still around, is too lazy to leave to a current MMO and invest the time in a soso game when newer/possibly better ones are on the horizon. and there is some reason they're still here the most likely being friends still play and generic you is using the game as a glorified chat client or you're waiting on a sub to expire. -
