we are all sad about whats going on in the community, but i cant help but wonder what amazing things might have happened if the game was still going strong, here are a few things i wish the devs. would have added/changed to the game before they announced they would be shutting down and you are all welcome to add the things you wish would have been added/changed to the game
1.a one handed glove/claw, i always wanted my character to have a normal looking right hand and a metalic silver claw for his left hand, i asked for that a few times but it never happened.
2.more tip missions, i enjoy doing my daily 5 villain tips, but it gets boring doing the same thing over and over again, i was really hoping they would have added more verity to those missions
3.radiation melee, i figured when they first made kinetic melee that rad.melee would soon follow, i was wrong.
4.rebalancing regens in pvp, im sure a few of you will debate that there is nothing wrong with them and yea it might probably be possible to defeat a regen scrapper in a duel under certain conditions, but its impossible to defeat a regen brute in a duel (dont want a debate in the thread about this, its just my opinion)
so what changes or additions to the game did you wish would have happened? -
just going to take some screenshots of the game and just hang up my MMO adventures until a new superhero mmo comes out, i wouldnt dare go to dcuo or champions, yuck!
-
well scrappers do supposedly do more damage but i wouldnt mind a buff/revamp like they did to stalkers and soon blasters to them, brutes can come so close to scrapper damage its very hard at times to tell them apart but the brute has way more health and resistance, its more like "do you want to sacrifise a small portion of your damage for better survivability? or do you want to deal that berserk damage instantly?"
btw mauk2 is getting owned on this thread -
i see no problem with this, i welcome the idea of anime base characters in this game with open arms
-
well i like this idea even if no one else does >.>'
-
yea it is pretty lame that i have to pick a power that i will NEVER use just to get the tough and weave buff. a change should be made
-
i think any change to the tier9 powers would be a good one, i rarely ever use it thanks to t4 barrier destiny incarnate. seems like the tier9 crash isnt worth the 3minute buff.

guess ill wait another week before i spend my points

Quote:i sort of agree that a good dark melee/anything can survive(not win) just about anything 1v1, but thats something for a different thread. certain regens can infact deal a massive amount of damage, like broadsword/regen scrappers or SS/regen brutes, so doing high damage ontop of the unkillable factor makes them more of a problem then any other melee sets.Originally Posted by Sentry4
DM/EA brutes spamming Touch of fear are actually harder to kill then regens. They don't do any damage, but they're technically unbeatable because of it.
So, shouldn't DM/EA brutes get nerfed first? They're even -harder- to kill. Sure they give up damage for their survivability, but so do regens. Clicking heals really hurts DPS.
Know what does more damage than a claw/regen scrapper? A claw/invul or claw/EA scrapper. They hit one god mode button and have full DPS for 6 minutes straight.
Also, I wasn't refering to you ClawsandEffect, my main Fight Clubber was a claw/regen for years, and my friend's Claw/Invul in unstop always out DPSed mine.
While we're talking about that, if you'd like to learn how to skip weapon redraw on a claw/regen, send me a message ingame and I can give you the binds. Increases DPS by a substantial amount and has literally won me matches against other claw/regens who didn't skip weapon redraw.
Also, Arena Night on Virtue tomorrow night for any that want to come. We'll be running 8v8s and have a public mumble server running. Starts at 5PM(PST), 7PM(CST), 8PM(EST).
Ranged Prefered. -
Quote:i made my own way to fight regens however i cant actually beat them it just becomes a unending tie, but the fact that regens can never lose in melee vs. melee fights should raise concerns, considering every other secondary melee set has some sort of weakness to other certain melee sets.electric armor is weak to toxic damage, invulnerability is weak to endurance drain, etc. but regens aperently are weak to high damaged ranged attacks, which is not what melees do.Originally Posted by MrLiberty
Emberrissing, for sure. There is no reason for a melee toon to ever die to another melee toon at the moment, unless the losing person is just bad.
Here is the super secret formula you need to not die :
Take any secondary there is. Any secondary.
Take tough / Aid Self / Phase shift / Incandesence. When you get into trouble, run around and heal. You won't kill a regen but you won't die to one. You get bonus points for not even fighting back.
Tada! Everyone realizes that melee vs. melee is bad. -
Quote:your talking about a ranged toon though, its the melee vs. melee factor thats unbalanced, a regen with the right pvp build formula can NEVER be defeated 1v1, and a brute or tank jumping all over the place like a blaster is just emberrissing.Originally Posted by MrLiberty
People aren't in an uproar because most realize that these super survivable regens are zero threat to anyone by themselves. The only way they become a threat to anything is if you stop moving, which you should never really do. At best they are going to pick you off after you've taken a pile of damage from someone else, worst case, they get 1 maybe 2 big attacks off and you are free and clear.
As others have stated, regens are laughably easy to take down when you are teamed up. Debuffs + spike damage will make short work of them because they almost never and I mean almost never have anyone supporting them. -
Quote:you want to play the troll card now? belittling what so many people have complained about in the past because you dont think this is a problem?Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Probably because not everyone has a brain (or if they do, aren't using it).

Quote:no its not otherwise it wouldnt be a issue, but it is, its not so cut and dry to "pop a orange and get away from the base" when the opposing team will never leave their base, regardless to if tp droning got removed or not there will still be campers on both sides.Originally Posted by macskull
Why is this thread even a thing? Everyone with a brain knows droning is the easiest tactic in the game to avoid.

Quote:actually it does, more people mean more targets and more people attack you thus causes the campers to move backOriginally Posted by Hyperstrike
It's really frickin' hard to attack someone who's killing you the second you spawn in, before your controls start responding. Inviting MORE people to try and spawn in achieves nothing.
wrong, it was made there so that the opposing faction would not kill you the absolute moment you respawned and so opposing factions wount run around in each others base.Quote:=The drones were put in there SPECIFICALLY because that sort of situation is untenable and less than ZERO fun.
you can go to recluse victory and see the people get mad at the droners, dont take my word for it then, look for yourself. you can also see the very first person to reply to this thread agreed with me, you can also see in this thread other people saying they hate it as well but just dont believe a change will ever happen.Quote:=Speak for YOURSELF. Trying to ad populum gets you nowhere. Since you can't prove that it's more than just you who feels this way about it unless someone else comes in and agrees.
thats not my way, its the games way, if you want to be slotted with SOs and no incarnated then dont expect to win any battles in pvp, thats just how the game is.Quote:=Ah. Smells Like Teen Elitism.
So nobody should PVP unless they're willing to invest all their time and every last spare Inf to it and play YOUR way?
Nah. Not a big fan of the Fun Police Brigade.
Try again. -
Quote:if your toon is not built for pvp or is not ready then that person should not even be in the pvp zone, thats common knowledge.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Let's see. A heavily tweaked FOTM build with a couple billion invested vs an SO'ed to the gills MM.
In zone PVP.
And you expect them to...what? Go toe to toe?
They can contribute more to their side by ensuring the base area is clear for departure. -
Quote:there are alternatives to fixing campers, if the devs. did make this perimiter idea happen so there is no more tp droning, that does not mean that campers will be forever stuck on 1 side forever, you can grab more members from your sg, friends, etc. to help you combat any campers that may be in your base, and the opposing team will get bored just standing there and either leave on their own or switch sides. so there is your solution to fixing campers.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Again, unless you have a good idea on how to fix the problem of base campers, I seriously doubt that the devs are going to remove a legitimate means of discouraging this tactic.
Does this mean that the practice may have a use that is less legitimate? Maybe. But, if you're close enough to a base to be droned, you deserve to be droned. Flat out.
Or are you going to try to ban dihydrogen monoxide instead of strychnine because more people die of causes involving dihydrogen monoxide than they do of strychnine poisoning?
You're bringing a qualitative "I feel, I dislike, etc" argument. But you're not making a quantitative one.
I have no problem with you expressing your opinion, but unless you have a solution that fixes the issue droning already ameliorates, you're basically ranting.
i said this before, this isnt just my own feelings, this is for everyone who hates tp droning, i was just the one who made a thread about it. -
Quote:most of the droners ive seen in pvp zones never leave their base and refuse to 1v1, yet they will drone anyone they can see regardless if that person is with a team or just alone, and once that droner teleports you to the drone, that person will laugh and brag about it on broadcast. as for why people get upset, the answer should be obvious, because its a cheap and low way to kill off someone, they refuse to use actual pvp fighting and just use the cowards way out.Originally Posted by Jaso
Why would you make the assumption that a droner has no pvp skill or ability. I get droned all the tme when I am on the side that is overpowering the other side. It's my own fault I am too close. I get droned once I will switch sides..if I am teamed with friends and there is a large number camping once side, we will switch sides. I know people who build droners and are pretty good at pvp. They build them for the exact reason to combat base camping. I never actually got why people lose thier shixit over getting droned or why they think it ruins pvp.

Quote:yes base campers can be annoying at times but not as annoying as droners, campers is a mild problem that is in pretty much every online game out there, tp droning isnt.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
PoisonHeart,
As soon as you can come up with a way to fix the issue of talentless gankers camping bases, THEN maybe we can talk about droning.
You're attempting to treat a symptom, not the disease.
This seldom, if ever, works. And worse, can exacerbate the problem. -
Quote:why? what is it about this thread that humors you? or are you just trying to be a jerk?Originally Posted by Antigonus
Threads like this are the only reason I keep checking in on the PvP forums. This thread is hilarious.
-
Quote:once again, like i said in the very first post, my toon uses electric armor and is immune to any form of teleporting, this thread isnt me "raging" or "crying" its me seeing a ongoing problem in pvp zones and asking for a quick and easy fix that is infact possible to do if enough people will agree and ask for this change isnted of saying "oh give up its hopeless, its never going to happen."Originally Posted by Fatal_Mind
Lemme guess you were droned earlier and raged in broadcast about it. Got mad and came to vent on the forums? :P Just get the tp protection procs man and deal with it like everyone else. It's never going to get changed just don't stand so close to the base..it can be avoided.
-
Quote:no its not the drones i have a problem with, its the people with no pvp skill or ability using a teleport power to exploit the drone and have the drone instantly kill someone. i agree that the drone should be in pvp zones to ensure no spawn killing, but not to be there to have a player teleport a foe to it.Originally Posted by IronAlex
There is a fix to drones.. get out of range of them .. douuuuhhhhhh!!!
I remmember when vills frist enter zones in bb right after the zones droped.. we were waiting near the arachnos hospital and just killing people..
And stalkers use to just sit in the hero hospital and kill you when you respawn.
The drones are there for a reason.. just get out of range simple -
Quote:i wasnt crying, i explained why it not good in pvp and how it can be changed for the better, you however simplified it as "oh cry moar plz" which is typical amungst trolls like youself, you can read the more mature responces i got from the other posters and how we handle our differences without getting on each others nerves, you just want to be rude because this thread goes against what you stand for in pvp which is troll droning.Originally Posted by fur_nes
you start a thread crying about a valid pvp tactic and want it nefed, resort to calling people who disagree with you names and use foul language and I am the immature one....got it.

Quote:i play a dark melee/electric armor scrapper in pvp, i can never be teleported, infact droning was one of the main reasons i chose to have electric armor, but for everyone else who choose somthing else, they are stuck to be droned unless they choose 1 of the 2 other powers to protect them from it. the players arnt stupid for getting droned but just got close to the opposing factions base, this happenes constantly and more times then often i see the enemy team grow in numbers and push us back to our side without using a droner.Originally Posted by SoulTouch
They didn't change control hybrids because people complained that its OP (even though it clearly was) People pointed out that it was not working as intended and therefore bugged. Therefore it clearly warranted a fix, the devs HAVE to fix bugs otherwise they will eventually not have much control of their own game. There is nothing wrong with droning if you're stupid enough to get droned as often as you clearly do then you have slightly bigger fish to fry.
even the +3 def/res tp protection IOs do not work well, even if they didnt want to make the changes that im suggesting then they could try working on those two IOs so it would work at all times, by doing that it can reduce tp droning drasticly. -
Quote:i said in this thread earlier that even though the devs. say one thing, in time they change their minds, with water blast the devs said there was no way they would ever be able to make water powers due to graphics, they also said that there would never be any power color customization because of how long it would take, but they are both here now, the devs. may say droning is a valid tactic, but it doesnt make it right and it is possible that in time and with enough responces that they could change there minds and remove tp droning from the game.Originally Posted by Supermax
The devs have said several times that they consider droning a valid tactic, just like they consider TP'ing into NPC's a valid tactic. They've said this not once, but many times, because people have complained about droning since day 1. So in this case, yes, the answer will most definitely be a flat out no.
The PvP system is so ridiculously broken, just about everything can be considered a problem. But this really isn't one. I'd much rather have them actually make PvP playable, instead of "fixing" droning. -
Quote:no, i understand were everyone else in this thread is coming from, you however tend to just be a dick about this, i try to give a valid explination on were im coming from and you simply insult my intelligence with the tone you continue to leave here, give a more grown up reply insted of a childish remark and i wount call you a troll.Originally Posted by fur_nes
correction again - not everyone. Just your straw poll. Seem like myself and others have pointed out time and time again how it is a valid tactic, the devs have said it is a valid tatic but you resort to calling me a troll droner. Fine.
Oh P.S. if you stand still long enough a stalker will AS you. Me and my friends hate that, it ruins PVP, so we are petitioning to get the devs to change it so when you stand still a 50 foot destealth aura appears around you and interrupts any AS. It is an easy fix and would make PVP so much more fun.
