my favorite pvp experience was way back in i10 or 11 when I was pvping with Whirligig. We were terrible and we rarely won matches but the games were just so much fun!
-
glad to see people signing up. Please encourage your friends to do the same
-
Sorry I disappeared but much like Titus Batiatus, my health required the wet coastal air of Sicily(ocean shores,wa)
-
Looks like it was close. Sorry I had to miss it although I'm not sure I would have helped.
-
the build i'll be bringing will have one purple set and that will be the fanciest thing in it (stun set) it is also a "sub optimal" pvp toon in todays pvp but one i've always liked and will always have fun on.

Oh man, you modified my name to include bad! very clever

Raven brings up a good point.
Things that are vastly different in pvp vs pve
AoEs... they all suck in pvp
Mez... they always work, but for very short amounts of time now. no real chance or need for mez stacking
buffs... many get cancelled out by Diminishing returns
Damage... single target damage is basically animation time = damage so, things like kinetic melee and sonic do a lot of damage while quick things like claws and ice blast don't.... it is a hard thing to realize but Blaze is out damaged by Flares and Fire Blast now. -
in the interest of popular opinion and hopefully, participation. team restrictions have been replaced by "don't be a jerk"

Quote:well, 3 stalkers would be very difficult to see and could in theory get one kill and hide for 9 minutes. thats my thought...Just my two cents, but... why? Each stalker on a team's going to mean their team-mates stand out like a smashed lip, and get pounded on twice as much.
To my thinking, an all-stalker team vs an all visible team would end up with a score like a World Cup game between England and Jamaica, roughly one-zero. If that.
I could very well be wrong, though. All the stalkers I've run into have been in RV, so Arena could be more or less forgiving to them. <shrugs> -

Quote:caves were always excluded because the spawn points were the two largest rooms and it pretty much ends up one spawn point or the other..problem was once you get to targets it was too easy to accidently spawn camp. Even in cargo map there is not a real point where the entire other side is standing where you spawn.
This is a concern but spawn camping could be a problem in lots of maps if the "flow of battle" leads to one spawn vs the other. -
in a small event like this, anything can be made to work if you know what you are trying to do. Broadsword does a ton of damage and confront is an effective -range tool as well.
-
of those, the most traditionally optimal is the spines/regen at this point but I could see a use in a 3v3 for the ill/rad or the grav/kin as well!

I almost forgot!
