Ready_For_War

I got another question? This also comes from the fact I havn't been keeping up with this game like I used to.

I her /psi got nerfed for both doms and blasters. Is this true? I was thinking of making a mind/psi dom, but I herd earth/nrg is the way to go. Which I might be missing something there but doesn't earth holds give +100% resist to KB. Making narg kinda pointless? other then maybe tf and the boots?

I used to know how this rule worked. But I've sense taken a bit of a break from building new chars. I just play the ones I have every now and then.

I've started in to rebuilding my Ice/SS tanker just for AE missions and what not. How ever I noticed in my combat attributes that it only shows a boost of regen from 5 IO sets. I have + regen comeing from more then five sets. How ever there not all the same. Some are large increase some are small increase some are ultimate increase to regen.

My questions is, how exactly does the 5 IO Set rule go. Does it matter if the set is not the same as the next set? (i.e) 10% increase to regen and 12% increase. Or is it just a regen bonus in general can not be repeated more then 5 times? Or is it the classification of Bonus (i.e) Large increase or small increase?

So what is the status of this 3v3 thing?

lol

what do you have so far?

Me personally I used the leadership/ice mastery build. But I do so because I don't have accolades to cap my HP. If you do have caped HP and are on a team with a healer "like you should be". Then I would say going with a phase, force mastery wouldn't be bad. I see them on test, how ever the healer they have on there teams are very skilled.

It doesn't necessarily take very good people to train them. It takes people willing to give them matches and they can do alot of the learning on there own. The thing about arrogance is that, you can be as arrogant as you want. But when your steadily losing, your going to get the hent that you need to make changes. If there not willing to learn bye instructors then they will learn via trial and error.

We had a good turn out, it was pretty fun, other then other stuff that happened ;D

If they keep adding check boxes,at some point there is gonna be a bigger fight deciding what boxes get checked and what doesn't than the actual match.

yup

It was a nice post, I hope others will follow suit.

But the point is made. With DR on or Off it does not stop power house line ups. There simply replaced with something new.

5 Moar Blasterz?

I think these are great rules. I like the no 2 of the same ATs on a team rule.

No, but, seriously...things are about to get WEIRD. MMs with Tanks, Stalkers with Blasters, Blaster with Brutes, Brutes with Defenders, Controllers with Dominators, Dominators with Tanks, etc.

you realize you can do that now in the arena right?

I was thinking the same thing but I didin't say it.... lol

I said its was nothing pointed. Just a solid train of thought. I by no means am a pro gamer in anything that i pick up. Id fit myself in the C+ B- area. I beat all my friends in games but when i go into Pro mod CoD4 or a Starcraft league i get schooled. Stuck in the middle i guess.

I think that the problem with CoX is that the changes ran off the people that could be called such and pandered the moaning of the unskilled. So when you get a bunch of above average players wanting to compete(Test Ladder) its frustrating to them because they want a test of skill not the lowest common detonator PvP.

I second that. But I doubt it will happen, not any time soon at least.

I say they just keep test separate from live entirely, Revert test 2 back to I 12 they can keep Test 1 for what ever but give us test 2 with I12 on it. I don’t see any harm in that, I know it won’t happen but man it would be nice.

In fact I have a vid that shows what a real "L33t" gamer looks and acts like. Who ever is narrating that video, prob looks and acts a lot like this kid.

that’s odd I only died twice on my blaster (fire/em) In an official ever.... that I will admin is [censored], but regardless I hardly consider 2 deaths bad. But what ever. I think the point is the way the system is set up. Its either very hard to get a spike kill for more then one reason. Or its to easy with the right team line up. With a KB + stalker line up, its more of who can farm a target faster, then it is any skill. Which is Y people are not taking the ladder SrS and practicing. But I will say when people start getting more creative with there line ups, then things will become more interesting. As far as the Baddo from the golden days. As been stated pri my post. Its easy to say you think you guys have more skill when you practiced 4 times a week and had over 50% more people to practice with. I’m sure if the teams on this seasons ladder practiced more they would be just as good. But unfortunately for us the system we are forced to play on, makes us un-interested enough not to even care.

I could care less if I’m one of the worst blasters on the ladder. If this game wasn’t as shity as it is now. I would take the time to practice and get better. How ever what’s the point?

There's allot of good points in there. How ever there’s a few that are way off, and sound like the Fat "gamer kids anthem".

But to each his own, I don't dislike people who are good at gaming, why would I? I game my self. I don't fall in to the class of "natural talented" gamers but I don't think there’s anyone here that does. The 2 or 3 people that Maybe fell in to this category left and aren’t playing this game to my knowledge. So if your trying to say you or anyone ells on the ladder falls in to the “naturally talented” category then you dead wrong. Most if not all that are in the ladder now have been playing this game for Years now. There isn’t a single one of you that just picked this game up a month before the ladder started and are now the best players in the game. As for the problem with “noobs” doing game reviews and development I agree. Take Blizzard for example. They release like 1 game every 10 years. But there always far better then anything out, and that comes out for the next 10 years.

I'm not trying to attack you or anyone ells. I'm simply stateing my views in regards to that youtube vid and this thread.

The only reason why I would take my time to do somthing like that is if I gave to (censored) about my spelling in video game forums.

Posi,

Do you think I could make anything out of my Merc/Dark? I've been considering re-rolling Thugs/dark or Necro. But I don't really have the time.

I don't think its fair to call us a mockery, Considering the PVP system we are using is a Mockery of its past state. We are simply doing the best we can with it. The fact that the PVP system is the way it is, causes teams to be less motivated to take the ladder SRS.I think the teams are starting to figure out the system more and figuring out different lineups to use. Which is making for better competition. Maybe instead of laughing at us, you baddos from the past can come and help us build up the ladder?

Well I don't know about Zone because its LOL the last time I took a look at it.

But for Kin I hear alot of people saying its not worth it. But I think it still is, and I think it would be nice to have one run on my team. I think it deppends on your team mates or in my case are line up.

If you take a look at the top tier blasters Sonic/ and Psi/ There big'est problems are slow animation times causeing them to be grounded. Mixed with TS from Zone, they make for good stalker bate. With Inertial Reduction it does still increase movment abilities. I tested it on my psi/em blaster last time I was in zone. It did help, and made me feel less of the pain of TS. Not only that Increase Density is some of the best way to get some KB resist, it stacks quick on any player so people can't use KB spikes. I think paired with Mind or Earth you can still be a big help on a team.

This is just my opinion.

When will the 2v2 ladder be set up to start?
