Pyra

At least you could get to the raid - 4 of our SG were logging out of PI all night!

Very poor - unless something very cool is coming in which case they're forgiven!

Can I have a free respec as compensation?

Well I've been volunteered for some work this evening, so will be off at 8:45 until about 10pm so I'll do what I can before and after if hami is still standing...well, more lying I guess.

As far as I'm concerned, I want nothing more to do with him. Had a chat with him on Saturday where I attemped to explain that I knew it wasn't all his fault, and to suggest that he doesn't answer back because he doesn't help his own cause.

All I got back was abuse (which I've documented on the Femme forum, and won't go into here), which I've petitioned. A vile person, the game needs to be rid of his sort.

I'm a blaster with char, so I get to blast mitos, hold hami and then blast hami! Never a dull moment (ahem)

lol, you might have to settle for 2 out of 3

I agree a lot with what the guys have said, that some people use him as an opportunity to try and be funny 'globally' when in actual fact they may never have actually spoken to him - it isn't fair, and just putting him on ignore if you want him to "shut up" works just fine.

Last night, another petty squabble started, with such brilliant comebacks as 'no you are', and I asked once if they could please stop spamming the arena channel, and they did so immediately. So not all bad.

Now, why I could 'hear' them when I'm meant to have them on ignore is another matter!

[ QUOTE ]
I haven't /ignored him, but I do ignore whatever he says. I just hate seeing one side of a conversation.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, this is kinda the point really. But last night he proved that he isn't worthy of a chance, not in my book, so I don't want to hear his side of the conversation ever again. Absolutely not the only one to blame, but absolutely the only one who has annoyed me enough to end up on /ignore and I really don't want to use that feature on anyone else

This isn't to say that you should all go out of your way to not be ignored by me of course, it's just that there are new people playing the game and I'd hate for them to think that that's what the community is all about.

I'm absolutely sure that everyone will know who I'm talking about, so I would urge you to remove the name from your post *edit -thx

I'm not asking everyone to ignore him. Only the ones who argue with him on public channels. I'm sure others are just as bad, so it's a general 'use /ignore and don't spam with arguments' suggestion more than anything else.

I'm trying to be as tactful as I can. There's a certain person that, despite everyone being willing to give a chance, seems insitent on winding people up.

I have this person on /ignore as of last night after the Sirens Call fun descended into the usual name calling etc. But obviously not content with that, this person then had to start winding people up on arena chat aswell.

Now /ignore works really well, but I don't want to ignore people who are arguing with him - so this is a plea for people to use your /ignore feature wisely and make the player events (hamidon etc) a much more enjoyable experience for everyone.

I'm not being nasty and I certainly don't want to start a flame war, but previous posts on this forum have suggested that we give him a chance and I'm always willing to do that, but I've just had enough of it and it ALWAYS ruins what would otherwise be a right good laugh.

Quick question....Was anything awarded for taking part in this?? dosent seem so but maybe im lookin in the wrong place.... (and i mean apart from pvp debt)??

[/ QUOTE ]

Midway through I did get a badge now you mention it, but that might have been an exploration or something. I don't think the event itself gave anything other than laughs (or misery depending on how seriously you took it!)

Hmm, jobs eh? I'll be a professional escort in exchange for a severe amount of infamy!

[/ QUOTE ]

But you do that already

[/ QUOTE ]

But this time I want paying

[ QUOTE ]
Good fun but not a patch on PvE for me I'm afraid. A bit too chaotic a la Deathmatch Halflife. I'd prefer PvP more along the vein of Counterstrike which encourages more team-based tactical play.

[/ QUOTE ]

It was way too chaotic, but I think that was the idea and the fun of it! You can certainly have some tactical PvP matches, and I really hope Bridger and Rockjaw put on another S4 next year where you can do just that

Hmm, jobs eh? I'll be a professional escort in exchange for a severe amount of infamy!

Ooh Black Orchid, I remember that name from last night (pvp that is, ahem)! That's one thing I really enjoyed was seeing names from the forums

Hiya, sorry missed this message - we have LOADS of members, starting to kick out some of our alts to accomodate new players! Give me a yell in game, or I can you, and I'll tell you all about it

*edit - that was meant to be a PM

Yay congrats Honsou!!

If your character is female, you're welcome to join our SG - we rock!

Yay congrats Venture! I'm gonna have to drag myself over to COH more often, lots of people I'm missing the chance of teaming with !

[ QUOTE ]
A small trick here that some might not know. You noticed me talking at some other thread about the "Grasshopper style", people who team with me (or most of PvPers) will notice me jump when activating powers. This is not by chance.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've noticed this aswell, if you can time it right it removes all delay!

[ QUOTE ]
I don't think any of us "Whingers" are gonna be swayed by the testamonials of people on this forum who are Pro-Stalker, we'll only change our opinions by experiencing the other side of the game ourselves. BE the Stalker! That's what I'm trying to do.

[/ QUOTE ]

Absolutely right, and what a fab idea! And now you mention it, is there anyone here that plays as a stalker and that think they're overpowered?

Another thing worth mentioning here, which has been mentioned elsewhere, is just how annoying it is when AS doesn't fire - happens to me ALL the time, you press the power and it just doesn't go (although endurance drops).

Nothing to do with being interrupted, and hugely annoying - especially when you've been hunting someone for 20 minutes and finally get your chance!!

[ QUOTE ]
Which is why the frankly ridiculous advice of "Keep Moving" annoys me so much. My blaster HAS to stand still when sniping. My Empath HAS to stand still while delivering RA. When my scrapper triggers Integration she stops and guess what...... stands still

[/ QUOTE ]

All very true, but surely the aim of PvP is to team - you shouldn't be a defender standing still and on your own when casting RA for example - your team should be protecting you from stalkers, certainly the good teams I've been against have absolutely no problem in trouncing me.

Stalkers do indeed need to wait and then strike when the chance arises and are usually quite devastating when it happens - but to me this is EXACTLY the role of the stalker, and EXACTLY what Assassins Strike implies by the very name of it and EXACTLY why I chose to be a stalker in the first place.

[ QUOTE ]
having to pick something 'anti-stalker' just for PvP when in PvE it would next to useless or practically pointless really annoys me!

[/ QUOTE ]

The same could be argued for certain Defender/Controller powers forcing my Scrapper to get ranged attacks.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, and you don't 'have' to get it at all - I'd certainly rather people didn't

Oh I just LOVE to see a defender standing around on their own personally

I hate this perception that stalkers are "unstoppable", if you plan for us properly in PvP it's easy - if my target keeps moving or can see through 'hide', it's v.hard to be overly effective.

And anyways, IMO if you're standing around as a squishy in a PvP zone, you deserve to get one-shotted.

Awwwwww. Good luck for the future EK, hope to see you back some day
