EU and US pvp community has a lot of players that just plainly quit.Some hang around for a bit longer due to lack of anything better and some just come occasionally hoping that something has changed.

I'm re-kindling my love affair with PvE.... lmao. I wanna get 'cheap' IO builds for my toons so I can have fun doing random tfs with toons which actually have end/kb prot/a modicum of survivability, but the n00b [censored] merit system has driven prices higher than the average dutch student.

But things are far worse in, PvP: the irony of the devs' search for "balance", combined with their "equality" based destroying all buff ATs with a combo of DR and Heal Suppression, as well as the omgwtf fun times to be had while permasuppressed (I told my friend who is a casual player around 4 months about the fact that it's impossible to try and escape while being outnumbered 4-1, and he couldn't understand [censored] was up, and he doesn't even have a level 50 (you should have heard what he said when I told him about Blaze, his main is a Fire Blaster....)), not to mention the borked mez protection, and finally making PvP more "accessable" by forcing players to relearn the damage of almost every power in PvP. Oh and the IO suppression. If these changes were implemented in PvE 90% of EVERYONE would stop playing. Not because they'd get "owned" in PvE (that's what heroic rep is for), but it's because it would stop being fun to play, and I've probably missed further things but I think the above should be enough to blow anyone's mind.

A later post by someone irrelevent mentioned two courses of action: A - Adapt and B - Moan. How about C - leave? I've (in a sense) picked that one, and if it wasn't for some new PvE buddies I've made I wouldn't even have stuck around for the mob-owning. My new more subdued friends seem intent on me PvPing with them (even though they hate the changes too, it seems somehow the hooks are in them just like they seem to be in Donna and Charnell, maybe they do it for the change of pace?), and we're almost at a point where I'm falling out with them over it. It's annoying because back in i12 I was really enthusiastic about expanding their pvp horizons into more team-based arena fights (which back in i12 was the most fun thing to do in this game). And once I saw their base I felt the need to Base Raid rise within me before the realisation that i13 PvP had been set upon us killed my enthusiasm.

A metaphor can't be used to describe my feelings because the reality is one of my favourite passtimes has been completely stepped on and mutated with i13 into something rank and dull, and people expect me to just shut the [censored] up and get one with it?! No, I refuse to tarnish the good memories I have of CoX PvP with rank new ones of its poorly ressurected rotting corpse.

Oh and one last thing[ QUOTE ]
Btw i also get u on the FotMs (my challenge to you is to find a non FotM and play with it and try to get some kills on it)

TG played an AR/Dev without TP foe or trip mines back in SC on Defiant waaaay back, I pew-pewd him on my spiney stalker (pre range nerf: IMPALE FROM DOWNTOWN), but he pew-pewd me loads too. He's awesome.

WANT.

I made my male widow grey with pink trim and called it Lieutenant Marwan.

I think for a bit after x4 I dreamt I was playing cox alot, usually thermalling in PvP. Not actually in it but playing it all the same, having ME I don't really leave the house much so it was sort of my main activity, I have a PS3 now, but I've yet to dream about Niko or Old Snake.

Pray that the inflation drops, or pay some noob on e-bay

*slitwrists*

It was.

Robbie Keane only with MMO subscribers tbh.

He means Fire Control/Thermal, not Fire Blast.

And Max Khaos is Energy/Thermal anyway.

Fire Blast is pants in pvp now, but then nupvp is pants in general... meh

I hear end drain has been nerfed too, and you're probably better off using a thermal than a kin. Given out of the two I'd pick pve tho tbh.

Probably the same code that allows mobs to target PCs when they become invisible after agroing them?

I never really get blinds anymore, but I think it is the height of rudeness to ignore a tell. If someone takes the time to ask me to team politely then I'll take the time to explain why I can't accept their offer, and start to feel guilty if I'm in the middle of a big mob and have to wait a while before I can respond.

All this nubby punning has to stop.

Horsefish.








I don't think I quite get this 'pun' thing.

lol You want Elitism jst head over to the Legends threads on Union part of Forum .. What better example than a bunch of ppl who think themselves legends when they are unknown/ignored by massive majority of the game and recognised by only the friends who also put them and themselves up for Legend status!

[/ QUOTE ]

It might not be just the Union thread

[/ QUOTE ]

I got put up by people I didn't know

<---Not PvPd in i13 because I can do maths in my head:

heal sup + travel sup + dr + universal res + broken blaster dmg + broken mezs = not a fun time.

They say "Oh it's just cause you'd lose" but it isn't, it's because I wouldn't have fun. And playing a video game and not having fun is about the stupidest thing you can do.

It doesn't matter tho I'm havin too much fun getting owned on MGO to care lol

Lol .. gamete beating me to it now.

We really need an X4 champion to contribute to this thread so that Moghedien actually believes us

Gamete is right.

THERE WE SHALL EXCHANGE WITTY REMARKS, and perhaps the odd phone number for hawt inter-alignment relations.

Ya chain's been pretty much yanked, yo

Less bikering more SFs pl0x

On the subject of fail auras... put a taunt slot in them and I find they even work taking agro off anything less than a tank while playing a scrapper.

Speaking of MM health, what's a good mob to farm Damage badges off that won't kill a MM overnight?

[/ QUOTE ]

On mine I used a yellow/orange ice thorn caster. (can't remember which, sorry :S) it still took a while but I found anything harder just slowly killed me, unless I came in to use aid self every 15 mins or so lol. The trick is ofc to put a basic heal SO/IO so you can take more but you prolly already knew that.

Shame, I really liked it :<

I was ona semi-hiatus from cox and it really filled a time gap lol

A nice animation for eviscerate (IMO) would be to stab both claws in the gut the slash out to both sides, sort of like ripping their gut open.

[/ QUOTE ]

A stab 'n' slash probably wouldn't be fitting for the power of the move... yes it would hurt like [censored] but in terms of force applied there's no wind up, the stab in is the force exerted with momentum, but you gotta start from scratch mid-gut for the slice. An animation like that would probably be moderate-high with a bit of DoT. A spinning slice followed by a full body weight stab would probably be more appropriate in terms of power levels, but this would require splitting the damage into two portions and probably lengthening of the animation itself.

Maybe a downwards stab into the ribcage area (like just above the heart) followed by a bodyweight enhanced shove down into the abdomen (without retracting the blade of course). that way you have your big hole in the body and still alot of power in the attack.

EDIT: A nice little hop (or at least heavy simewave adjustment of the bodyweight ala taekwon do) just as the stab finishes - with the landing being timed to help power the downward motion would make it look brutal enough, giving a slight blade retraction before replacement and then wound expansion I may need to draw a sketch lulz

EDIT EDIT: I just realised how ridiculously off-topic this is Uhhhhh... I'm kinetophobic - naturally repelled by moves like transfusion and siphon power. I love their effects on me as a teammate, and spamming sb is satisfying, but the basic kin powers bore me somewhat, I just don't think I like foe based buffing. Not that I don't enjoy FS as much as the next guy :>

Trouble is they missed and hit PvP in its special bits.
