    If I don't need it, great. If I do need it...what level do I want to take it at and what is the recommended slotting for this power to be effective for me?

    Next question is about the fitness pool. Will I need it on this build? I know on my EM/Reg i did not have it and really didn't have any end issues persay. Will I have a similar experience with /Nin or will i need to plan a build that includes fitness pool?

    Once again, TIA

    EDIT: Kuji-in Retsu.....want it or don't want it? Again, have never taken it previously.
    -Take Retsu, Love it, Enjoy it, Don't Heisitate to use the living shi+ out of the power.

    -Blinding Powder, 5 confuse purples if ur doing it for pvp. Use it on regin scrappers, its really funny.

    -Fitness pool, it depends on how well you are with AS's, if you interrupt them often, whatever the reason, you will be end heavy, otherwise stalkers really aren't. You can run staminia-less after a bit of investment. I can do it on mine without issues between retsu, rest and FoN.

    Of course, with BFs not being needed, and the fact that you're carrying blues for retsu crashes anyways, havin a few spare blues in ur tray and going staminia-less is fine.. Rite?
  2. Why is bounty so useless;

    Why do you cut yourself at night?

    Its a pointless question, as soon as you tell me why the color blue is called blue, I'll tell you why bounty is so worthless.

    In short, gl finding out why.
  3. I hate you all

  4. I need an excuse to level a Bane, I might take you up on the offer, time dependant, I normally have work until 6 pm PST on fridays, however, don't plan around me, I am commonly known as schitzophrenic

    CoP was only a major component of PvP, even had its own forum section. It was on the original box for CoV, and whether the reason MA got more advertising is due to its importance, forecasted success or becuase it simply was an addition to a game that was much better then it was as it first started.

    The dispairity between the two is larger then you make it sound, missing from it are things such as arc bonus', end of mish bonus' and patrol XP. THey do quite count for a nice chunk of xp in most RC mishs.

    I actually tried to disprove it, I went into RV on freedom, at around 3 in the afternoon and advertised making an AE arc team, managed to get a 5 man team together for eh, bout half an arc. While in RV there was a quite healthy 17 ish heros, and 9 vills.

    Triumph was much the same, managed a nice 4v3 in RV and a nice quiet 3 man team, we did a few arcs however before it died.

    Would they prefer AE over PvP, yes, for only the fact that its PvE in a PvE centric game, I am speaking in reference to existing levels of players. Although, comparing who will go to what base over whatelse is different, considering that AE would be more appealing for lack of a severe learning curve, seeing as how PvP hardly resembles PvE.

    Not really,

    Chew on this for a little thought.

    Cimerora took up a nice issue, isn't done, and is certainly currently getting used more then AE( Proved by the numerous ITFs always going on ).

    Where as AE took up the better side of what, I'm tempted to say 3-4 issues, and is currently nearing a point where the devs are likely thinking it complete, and as of now, has less users then cim, for more time invested. Is this a failure? Yes, can you fix failure? In this case yes.




    However, until it is fixed, it is quite low on the list of things that can be considered a buissness failure. However, not completely, it has potential, however, like I have said in this thread, it won't go anywhere until the devs come to terms with the fact that people will farm in it.

    Here's my attempt at trying to be helpful by fast forwarding the convo...this is usually the point in these discussions where a lot of you call the offensive person a lamo, baddo, retardo and accuse them of having downs syndrome and using the internet connection at White Castle to play. Fulfill your forums PvP destiny.
    Never took it personally, if , by any means you did.

    You drew conclusions of my character based on a post, in which WAS A JOKE. I understand jokes sometimes get jumbled in intrawebz, but, srsly?

    You may not know what my character is and most likely never will, I would however prefer if you would cease to trying to insult me, becuase, quite frankly, I don't think you could fail any more at it.

    PS, saying "Don't lolenergy me" Is about as equatable as the cartoon scenario of "Don't press the red button"

    Actually, as far as failures go within the game (Failure being defined as not attracting large amounts of players, so no money, and this game is, after all is said and done, a buisness), it is the second worst failure, bested only by CoP failure. PvP I will, and many others, will prolly agree is the third worst failure in the game.

    PvP Prolly still has double AEs numbers, and PvP numbers are pretty small compared to the minority that is the badging community, or base building community.

    The only outliar in the data that is AE is whether, when speaking towards AE's population includes or discludes the farmers that STILL use it, in that case pvp might not have double, but definitly more then AE.


    Is AE a ghost town?, Litterally? No. Comparitively to the next smallest minority, yes.

    My experience on triumph, small server really, is we have an astounding 2-3 AE author regulars, possibly 7 players a week play arcs in week, the authors are included in this number. We have 6-9 pvp'rs that PvP quite often daily, and have on occassion, usually once maybe twice a week, we can peak at a nice 6v6 or so.

    As far as failures in a buisness related sense, AE can quite easily be considered a failure, this isn't an opinion, but a very arguable fact.

    It's cool that later you helped, but I'll never get making fun of people that decide to to be creative and don't sit around Midsing/regurgitating the same cookie cutter builds as everyone else (I know creativity doesn't always translate into solid PvP play). Give the person the benefit of your experience with the pros and cons so they can add to what little of a community there is left.

    Basically this applies to forums too:

    "To those we have left,
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Stop being “baddos” and start helping to rebuild the PvP community.
    And you are?

    Please, for all means, continue to judge my character on a joke; but this post proved to be more entertaining then the joke was at the time.

    I have well over 30 50's, I love a good story, but honestly, I play for the social aspect of the game, and many of my friends want to lvl, so AE is a scarce part of my play unless I'm PLing, in that case I use it alot.

    Funny part is, the probability that the % of farmers using AE went up as a result of the change; not becuase so many farmers started using AE, but becuase the ones that still do are now a bigger % of the overall then previous.

    Its quite silly really, devs need more then data.

  24. get the T1 and T2 blasts, the 40ft blast means you have to close distance with your target, not really something you want to do.
