Special Thanks to the organizers of the PvPec for making all this possible: Kat and Peril

The majority of veteran players find it more fun to exploit the system rather than play through outdated and unimaginative mission designs that follow the same predictable patterns.

GGs Powt

It was fun while it lasted

What are your in-game globals?: @InfamousZampf, @InfamousZampf2

What characters do you have on freedom?:

1. Poisen Havok - Rad/Psi
2. Psi/Em blaster
3. Elec/Wp stalker
4. Emp Controller
5. Thugs/Poison MM
6. teh regin son

Are you willing to respec into a PvP build? yes

Are you willing to roll a new character if needed? no, because if I lvl it too fast the devs will delete it!

Briefly Describe your PvP experience: Virtuous Vanguard and brawl only matches on protector on monkey cage map.

KB protection is a waste on an MM. +HP bonuses are priority. Get aid self not phase. You might want to drop combat jumping and pick up taunt so you can prevent players from picking off your thugs one by one, which is easy to do.Vertical movement on a MM in duels isn't really that important...you can get the flight pack temp just in case but I haven't found that I ever needed vertical movement. Try to get around at least 1150+ HP.

YEAH!! <3

It gets argued all the time about our era of pvp compared to current pvp. It really just isn't the same in every aspect. The community, play styles, and competition are all weak compared to the golden days. Sure I am bias. Who wouldn't be? When I reminisce and think about how many skilled players there were back then it makes me really miss it. The ability to log on to test and see 50+ other faces of friends and SG mates doing kickballs all the time was something I really miss.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah exactly. The quantity of people and the skill level required for high end PvP isn't nearly as high as how it used to be.

Wow! Nice list Terp This brings back old memories of the good ole' days of PvP in this game. I remember nearly everyone on that list. Here are some messages from my inbox.

A message from Rasta: "You are my number one draft pick! Welcome to the team. Let’s get together and share pvp ideas and drafting strategies". I was the number one draft pick in the first ever PvP league. Rasta was the team captain and wanted to try out an all scrapper team. Our team won some matches but lost some too. The team to beat that season was the Tribute team with Johnny priest on ice/em. They ended up going undefeated. The first PvP league was somewhat unique compared to the future leagues that would follow because stats like kill/death ratio were recorded.

Message from El Nino "RE: Skarps" damn, nerf regin :P
I remember dueling him on test when he first hit the scene with his elec/elec blaster and beating him horribly He fought all the best PvPers on test and lost to all of them but somehow he beat one of Rystorm's toons in a 1v1. From then on Skarps Skillz was born.

A message from Peritus in response to my rad/psi build and strategy that MaXimum requested from us. It was an i7-i12 strategy of dueling on a Rad/Psi. As it turned out Peritus used nearly the same strategy that I did. With it you could beat any other rad/psi’s that didn't use the same strategy. Ice AJ and I perfected the technique while dueling over and over again on test. We must have dueled each other on over 30 times before we found the perfect strategy.

Message from Ajax "FoL vs 10 MOP on Wednesday 4/18. Standard best 2 out of 3, 20 minute rounds, small insps, no monkey cage". This was back when officials were 20 minutes long. The “original” 10 MOP back then started as a group of veteran protector players that randomly showed up on test one night and formed a sg. We didn't do any practice and somehow we managed to beat FoL in an official. The members of the original 10 MOP were Terp Man, Mista Snax, Slan, FD, Yumi, Realest, Masmune Guard, me, Deadly Spike, Silit on his kat/regin :P, and probably a few others I can’t think of right now. Snax kicked [censored] on his unconventional fire/elec blaster. We absolutely destroyed on close quarter maps like the caves and office (People used to do officials on those maps back then lol) because elec was fast and Yumi was a beast on the storm.

Message from Genna, PvPec Rep:"Please register for the pvpec forums we now have hun. We won’t have a space on the blue boards anymore." This is a message from someone who didn’t PvP but got into the PvPec for some inexplicable reason (sound familiar?). When the pvpec first started they used the coh forums as their recruiting base and for other things until they got removed/banned because it was causing too much drama and taking up too much space on the forums. Despite their best efforts, the PvPec is considered to be a joke by a lot of people. A few good PvPers have organized events under the PvPec and have done a good job over the years, however this small organization has largely been plagued by terrible players who simply don't know the PvP in this game enough to run a proper event that appeals to the hardcore and casual gamers alike.

Message from DarkMaster “RE Waaaaazzzzabi!?!?!? Sup Bro! Yea, I might sign up for that, sounds and looks like a lot of fun. A lot of work went into that I'm sure, kudos to Terp. I've been busy lately myself with work and play.” This is a response from me telling DarkMaster about Terp Man’s duel ladder back when terps first made it. DarkMaster is probably one of, if not the most knowledgeable person in the game for team makeup and strategies. He rolled an Ice/Em blaster BEFORE PvP came put in i4 because he knew it would own Ice.Master and Re-miX were the best ice/em’s at the time. Ice.Master was the leader of Hell Raisers, a group from Protector that was the only team ever to beat Tribute in a match. Hell Raisers only used their B team in that match as well, making the victory even more impressive. Rystorm said they only wanted to practice with Hell Raisers because the other teams weren’t giving them competition :P

Message from Labrynth: “Hey Spiner. As you might have noticed, we are currently very short on captains for the PvP League. What we are looking for in terms of qualities in captains are experience, performance, and time spent on test. I dont need to remind you that you have all three in spades . If you wouldnt mind being a captain for the league, it would really be doing everyone a favor .” Labrynth was looking for a captain because in the second PvP league we were short on captains. I had to decline because at the time I was too busy with RL, but they still managed to find a captain and we ended up having a great league I met Labrynth in i2 in Boomtown when I was playing my fire/dev blaster and he was playing an ill/rad controller. His strong suit was playing an emp. He was one of the first “pure” emp players in the game along with Basic Heal and mwghost.

Message from Realest, “GET BACK IN THIS TOURNAMENT!!” Realest and Masmune Guard were the best kins in the game no doubt. Back when kin was good for 1v1’s they had these duels that were freakin epic. Realest used to own mas pretty bad until mas caught up and eventually got as good as Realest. Realest made a video called Keepin it Real in Paragon City that’s still hilarious to this day.

My apologies for the long read but I like to reminisce about the past because IMO it was some of the best PvP I’ve ever played in any game, and the gimpvgimp we have now pales in comparison to what once was :P

Looking forward to hearing more...keep em coming!

Everybody know that I13 was a bust. Still Errors on being equal. All the Dev's did was switch things around. Certain builts was good are now crap and vise versa. My concern is are the gold farmers in Rv... They sit in a PFF bubble by base the villain base and farm. Its so hard or impossible to kill them in PFF....... SMART DEV'S that should lose there jobs i say or switch to a different department. I saw many good friend leave this game because what the Dev's did to this game. Now Dev's are so lazy that they want us to create missions now basically doing there job for i14. Don't get me wrong it would be nice to create are mission.. kinda like SIMS. I know the dev's can't maybe everyone happy but more then 3/4 say that i13 was stupid. DEV's need stop being quite about there failure and admit your failure and try to correct it. what dev's can do is take a poll or a survey about pvp issue and base it off those results. BY GOSH SDOING SOMETHING ABOUT PFF.... SLOW RECHARGE OR LESS DEFENSE

Couldn't have said it better myself. Well done ELF STALKER

Add @Darkmaster to the list

Undefeated baby. Would have been 4-0 if test didnt go down the day of our double header

nice to see u can become #1 without actually playing against the number one player lol

gg's

Weak. At least they could have been slightly more creative instead of rehashing old rewards.

Yeah I remember coming over from protector with my spines/regen and challenging SoE to a duel when he was the 'best' dueler on freedom. I got an easy first kill then he proceeded to kill me 3 times to get the win. Earth/emp was a beast back when HO's were unnerfed...not as much as Dm/Da though

Awesome guide lab
After reading this im putting range enhances in CM and the heals.
