OmniFayt

If you really dont care to hear my rant/confusion about all the changes made you can go ahead and just skip ahead to the yellow colored text at the bottom.

I initially joined CoH about 2 months after it was released. Back before pvp was even thought of. Although when it was finally implemented I loved it. Since then I have taken several breaks from the game here and there with the most recent and unfortunately the longest being for about the last 3 issues.

The moment I came back I immediately started on trying to figure out what a good pvp toon would be.
Shields/Super Strength Tanker. Turned out to be ok at best. Mind you this is from the perspective of what pvp USED to be...not what it has become. I had no real insight or idea of all the changes they have made for the last two issues. I kept running into other players refering to new terms that i could only assume were added in sometime after I had left. For example Elusivity. And Diminishing Returns being further implemented into pvp structure.

So I finally came to the boards to do a bit of research to see how much has actually changed. I had no idea I was opening the equivalent of Pandora's Box for myself. All those jokes that my friends and I had made about certain pvp abilities had came true. For example, when I was pvping the thought of fire melee doing remotely well in a competitive pvp environment was something to laugh at. Flurry was used as nothing but a joke to laugh at, sometimes stating it as the IWIN button as PURE sarcasm. Even Air Superiority wasnt widely used. Now its like the devs decided to turn all those jokes into reality.

Flurry and AS being apart of the strongest combo for melee sets?! Fire Melee being a viable Set? Even if it for a scrapper. Now whats with all this stuff like Heal Decay? And Mezs not being able to drop all toggles? Acro being useless by itself? Specialized ATs being no more? It seems like now instead of a game of Paper, Scissors, Rock. The devs Tried to balance it so now its College Rule Paper/Construction Paper/Printing Paper. PvP shouldnt EVER EVER EVER be made to be balanced on the 1 v 1 scale if teaming is an option.


Anyways. Sorry about the rant, on to needing advice about what does well in pvp as far as Controller, Scrapper, and Defender builds go. I definitely do not want to go FF, its not as pro active as i would like it to be honestly. Any suggestions for these classes would be greatly appreciated!

And on a side note I do have some questions regarding powersets in these AT classes

1.) Is it to the point of frustration for you rad users? having your toggles dropped so easily now?

2.) How does regen do with Heal Decay? and Is Broad Sword viable enough to compete in pvp? Or is a Spine world? I hear you shouldnt even get ripper anymore as a spine, because of Air Superiority and Flurry.

3.) How well is Trick arrow for defenders? does it go well with say psy? Even though everyone and their momma has defense/resistance against it?

Hmm...What zone is it located in?

HOOOHA!!! just remember omnifayt was the first to post in this great addition to the CoH gameplay!!!

But on a serious note will this somehow be implemented into CoH too? I mean i know heroes dont go smashing stuff. But they should have something new to get them away from the same ol mission types right?

Very well versed post (except that I haven't overlooked anything). I understood all of what you stated beforehand. I merely stated that I don't agree with it. I also told you that you should be careful what you wish for because, until you're the one who has it happen to them, you haven't viewed it from both sides.

Playing the consentual risk-taking individual is the easy path. Having it done by some jacktard who thinks they're funny because they got you debt numerous times while you were there to PvP is what will cause a change of heart. I've seen it happen numerous times and it won't slow down.

Who says I haven't had it happen to me? I've been TP'd into mobs, into other players, even into the drones. I have people train mobs on me. Just the other day I was in Warburg attempting to launch the missile, when some brute trained a couple of roaming Titans on me, and then stole my scientist.

However, I find this far LESS annoying and frustrating that getting jumped by a group of 10-20 players of the opposite faction when I think I'm in a good one on one scrap. Yes, it's allowed... and I don't complain. I'm simply saying that as far as annoyances go, I find it personally far LESS bothersome to have a person I am fighting use mobs to aid them, then to find that person's entire SG gang up on me. I can kill a group of 20 mobs solo. 20 Elite Bosses (players) is another matter, however.

Couple of changes we're making in I5:

1) Instead of the first five levels being debt free, the first TEN levels will be debt free.

2) XP debt will be halved on mission maps (that includes outdoor mission maps, too).

Dont worry Ninj, I promise not to take you to the beach I took Fayt to...

Knowing Fayt sometimes lets his mouth get him into trouble....His Baywatch swim abilities were somewhat in doubt (being he is from Oklahoma )...Idont know something told me he might not be the black David Hasslehoff....

Through a long path deep into the jungle..Our Hero Fayt slays wild Roosters trying to steal our lunch...I show him the warning signs....High Treacherous surf...Turn Back Now , This means YOU ! Still the brave Fayt forges ahead to the remote beach....

Where he finds a memorial to the many tourists who lost their lives at this beach, as recently as 4 weeks prior to his visit....Undaunted our hero charges to the beach....Boogie Board in hand ....He turns around flashes a smile at me , as I see a huge mountain of water building behind him...I yell out

"Dont Turn Your back on the Ocean!".....Of course Fayt turns completly around and says "WAT?"...as he is pummled by the brutal surf.....meanwhile his sidekick "Tanker Timmy" decides he will not be outdone by Fayt and rushes in...A short time later the very tired genna must rush into the water and save the 290 pound Tanker Timmy from drowning...

The problem is Genna was trying to be cute that day in her little white bikini instead of a surf suit. So now Timmy safely beached on shore...genna is trapped by the undertow...finally deciding that breathing has become of upmost urgency , genna allows the surf to rip her bikini top off her young body and makes her way to shore....

Fayt who once again has his back to the ocean and yells "are you ok?" and once again disappears in a mountain of water.....Our hero fights his way to shore only to find himself faced with a decision......Leave Genna topless and pouty over her favorite bikini getting washed away....Or Make the effort to retrieve the top....Valiantly Fayt runs back to the water ...as Genna rolls her eyes because there is NO way on hell he is going to find that little top in all that surf....5 Minutes later...Our hero now blonde due to all the sand in his hair drops my bikini top at my feet with a triumphant smile ...says


"Who's your Hero?!"

then collapses....I think the bruising went away before he left??


Next Chapter "The Ninjin Surfer" comming soon to a comic store near you!

OMG!!! THAT WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO LEAVE YOUR MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok ok ok according to u guys...the wolf mish is timed now to those u dont have it yet...but my question is this....couldnt u reset it the SAME exact way u reset the kraken mish? if u cant fine ill miss it...if u can...u just delayed the inevitable:P

ME FAYT!!!
I like to take long walks on the beach.....lol

bah u knew wat i meant lol somewhere along those lines though...heck bump them up to whites if ya want. i just want pvp to be exciting wether a group of 10's kill me ore not:P

Hey guys this is Fayt's $.02 on the whole matter. Im a lvl 50 dm/invul scrapper myself. COH is my first mmorpg and i have to say im in love. Now i have been waitin a good while for pvp to come out and i see this place that is instituting ideas for pvp. Which all have there disadvantages and advantages. Like i said im new to all mmorpg so dont go hard on me:P. But my idea on the whole thing is have zones where they have pvp. And yes i know that has been stated already:P But my easily understood idea by all is this...lets say me...fayt at lvl 50 goes up against hmmm a lvl 10. Huge lvl difference yes i know. So y not do this to make playing field a lil even. Make the lvl 10 that i am fight a "blue" while in turn me a "red" to him. Easily one on one i could win np. But it would make me think twice when trying to engage 6 or 7 of the lil boogers. Thus ending greifer(is that the word for it?) Also wouldnt this allow pvp in places like Atlas? i mean a rogue lvl 50 stepping into the homeland of heroes:P that would be a epic battle indeed:P stupid of the lvl 50...but epic indeed. Like i said im new to the whole mmorpg terms and lingo. So if this idea has already been said i simplified it for all the new mmorpg players. And if it hasnt well...Just remember a "noob" thought of it)))))))))))))
