I'm pretty sure someone just came up with that story, and when people started to believe it, they started to say it was real.

It's pretty basic. They burned witches, stole ideas from other religions, tried to steal their followers and when it was all over they burned all the evidence. Even now they continue to force their religion on children. All that matters is the religion's philosophy, and brainwashing children is something i do not respect.

Psychology and Philosophy, the latter taught to me by a very religious man. Some religion people would laugh at if i said, and one of the first things taught was not to be so judgemental as to believe you know a person solely because of one fact.


Alright games up, might come here next update if i need to wait once again.

I'm waiting for my CoH to update and dropped by. And as always i'll try to respond to anyone who says something towards me.

I believe the greater population is almost wrong in just about every instance, why? Because they follow one another and never think for themselves, they are judgemental and usually a little arrogant.

I'm not one to yell at people for being insane, i don't like to point certain people out and make them feel bad, which is almost what all of you guys do when a newbie asks a question. And hey, just because i'm locked up with a bunch of other crazies doesn't make me one. That would be simplfying it, which is a task most of humanity has saddly mastered. Why think about if he's actually crazy? He's in there so it must be true. If i truly am crazy i'm glad to be, just because some people are afraid of my ideas.

I am proud to not be a christian, they lied to me for most of life and tried to hide their secret past. I found it, and i don't trust any source that has been wrong or lied to me in the past, that's a basic philosophy law.

I'm a different person then before, i would have been scared to even face one person in an arguement. I also didn't think i knew enough to speak up. I'm different now, and I can take on half of the world if i need to.

I also never knew of all the bullying that went on in here, that's something i don't like reading, and since nobody was fighting back i finally spoke up. Before i was idiotic enough to just follow the numbers because "they must be right". I didn't put any thought into it and now i am. Even if you guys picked that side, at least pick yourselves without just following the big names.

It was a stupid question.

I didn't buy my account from another person, i started with scratch. If i was fine with buying accounts i'd be fine with buying money online, and i'm not, with either.

I prefer to make the sword i use in battle, not buy one from a factory. There's no sense of accomplishment when you beat someone using money you bought online. A friend actually gave me some money once and i slipped them a purple recipe when they weren't looking, it needs to be equal in my opinion.

Also at this point i think i'm leaving the forums, i'm done preaching to people who are too ignorant to listen, although i have gotten more and more used to it.

If anybody has read my posts and wants to find me as i wanted to meet Zen, my global is @Relentless Juggernaut

Also, I don't plan on quitting the game for a long time.

that -tohit shouldn't even touch a good build, either you have something like focused accuracy makes it more like -3% tohit or you have [rage] giving you around 30, which is DR'd, so -10% or so doesn't change it much. It kills your DPS, which is about the only thing dark really has going for it.

Believe what you want, strangers opinions of me or belief in what i say has never mattered. But i hold my stance that i've been here since the first month of CoH.

Vince said he wasn't the best. Stone brute the 1st or someone else was. He won their tournies for a few years until shin's ele/therm. I know it's easy button now, but at the time she was the only one on the server, and just dominated everything.

Daves dom on no DR was awesome too. Took some duelers that i still can't take today.

The MM stuff was just for fun, when heroes were winning or ganked their toons they would all go get their MMs.

No, i'm not completely aware of the past, and i assumed the idea has already been thrown, as a lot of people were attached to pvp before i13 and would have done anything to get it back.

What i don't understand is why we gave up. If we keep pushing something, it will fall over. We're dealing with human beings that can be influenced. This is not something to be considered impossible, because if you try hard enough something will change.

I think we're doing it wrong, at least some of it. The devs are never going to listen to us if everytime we have time to throw some words in we throw in pages and pages of ideas. We need to summerize, and tell them what needs to be fixed or changed right away and save the little stuff for later.

The past is a large factor in winning, as i wouldn't want to make the same mistakes some others have made, so i wouldn't mind hearing what has happened.

There is a huge difference between putting your ideas on a piece of paper that you leave beside them and telling it to their face. For all we know they might have not even read that piece of paper, but actually telling them they need to listen and respond.

nice, my brute is SS and broad swords seems to always get lazy and rely on parry as defense. And rage rips through that. I also know some BS/regens, so i'll ask if they have any certain weaknesses.

Also, the facts and statistics of HF vs Aidself cannot be debated. Those are absolute numbers.

But which is better can be debated. HF is better then aidself because it's interrupted and heals more, but aid self is better in the way that it can be picked up by any AT. Meaning any brute can get a heal almost like HF. Aside from HF, fire doesn't really have anything to offer, so it's useless imo.

Actually the actual math and science of the universe is unknown and still debated, much like the things on these forums. It's more like i'm debating about time moving slower and faster in some parts of the universe but people who don't want to believe it or can't even imagine it, deny it.

The Balmont school is full of the best pvpers i've ever seen in 4 years between different servers. I used to play Champion, virtue and even freedom. There's only a small handful of people i've seen take 8 heroes and 2 heavies at once, just to kill them 1 by 1 until nobody is left.

It got to the point where every tourny on justice ended up being the same 6-8 members of the school going against eachother, so they started holding tournies of just them instead, since that's all it ever got too. I was a part of one once and got totally destroyed by toons that weren't even their mains.

The "crew" is pretty much dead now. The best player amoung them left a while ago and Vince just recently switched games himself. Dave is still stuck on i13 pvp and only fights no DR if he's on. I don't even remember the others.

10 good players, more then i've ever seen a freedom zone hold.

Who's to say one is harder then the other?

The best warzone player cannot "step down" and beat the best FCer. They are 2 different games. The warzone players tactics don't work when he standing still and the FCers tactics don't work when he has to chase his opponent. They each have their own tactics and are both on the same level of difficulty.

What proven concepts am i disregarding?

I'm one of the only people here bringing logic here. Most of them, like yourself, are instead just throwing insults left and right. It's either because you don't know what we are talking about, meaning you basically don't understand the concept, or your simply trying to back up your "heroes" without any real argument.

Blind insults mean nothing, and apparently you do not know that because you threw one. You can try to insult me, but unless there is true logic in it i won't actually be insulted.

Similar, maybe. He never took these things as seriously as i did and threw out funny comments now and then.

I heard some people already asked Leroy from justice, you can ask them, or i can just tell you. I'm not Zen shadow. I never knew him but his posts were always the ones that stuck out when i read threads.

Well to a good player, nothing is unpredictable, but the same goes for your “zonal” pvp.

It’s hard to become a good player and know every little detail about every power in the game. Adding inspirations and movement doesn’t make it much more complicated. So if you think duels are easy, then pvp in general is easy.

You don’t duel much do you? DM that uses fear? No that’s not a good method. What I didn’t predict about fighting a DM scrapper was he a pure buzz saw and did the 2nd most damage I’ve ever seen in a small amount of time.

And how did that katana even get parry in the first place?

I shouldn’t need to provide examples on how someone needs to adapt during a fight. But seeing as you couldn’t think of one yourself, timing rage and hasten to get enough burst to kill a regen, or timing rage and hasten so it’s perma the entire match even with a bunch of recharge slows on you. You need to learn how to respond in situations you’ve never been in before, you need to adapt to your opponent and learn how to kill them.

My SS/fire (old expensive build) fought an SS/invul with no DR. The first match was a draw, and he said he could kill me, he just needed to adapt. I actually bet him some things that he couldn’t, but he timed his rage/hasten with my hasten (because back then I relied on hastens +rech for healing flames) and used unstoppable to make KoBs hold not last as long. The timing was perfect and he killed me. He adapted that second match and was better, I was actually better the second match as well, but not enough. That’s how I know skill is a factor in duels. It’s not just the build, or he would have won right away. That was a simpler example, there are more complex ones, but the explaination would be much longer.

You don’t understand how complex FC can be because you’re most likely not around good players or never really got into it. Trying beating some of the best FCers, there is a huge difference between you, who doesn’t understand the mechanics, and them, who know the mechanics and things needed for a good duel.

Humans aren’t predictable, you can’t argue that and I’m not even going to give a response for something so obvious.

I think it’s easy to survive if I run every time my health is low, that doesn’t take skill at all. It takes more skill to fight face to face when using melees because if you don’t, it’s a tie.

I believe I was quoting either Mac or Con, or someone else you guys idolize when I said 2 good players cannot take 5 regulars. It’s one of the first things I read when I came onto here and read some i13 complaint threads. Sadly the argument does hold up, I wish it didn’t, but a good player cannot take 3 regular players. My scrapper has taken 4 people at once, even killed them all. But they were noobs, and 2 of them were stalkers and I was standing on caltrops the entire time. One was an ice dom though, the confuse was annoying. A pro should be able to take about 4 noobs, but a pro shouldn’t even be able to take 3 good regular players. And in 2v5, 5 good players attacking on a pro, the pro will die.


This is probably the most important point of all, if Zonal pvp is harder then FC, then the best zonal player should be able to “step down” and beat the best FCer. But he couldn’t, why? Because they are 2 different games. They have different tactics. The best zonal player’s tactics wouldn’t work if he was standing still and the best FCers tactics wouldn’t work if he had to chase his opponent. That is proof that one is not a step down from the other but simply 2 separate games.

There was a genius move Leroy did a while back with his brute, I tried to outsmart him and he saw right through it, that’s why I love dueling skilled players, they always impress me. I’ll try to remember what it was…

This isn’t it, but one of the tricks he used was his pet. Usually it’s best to get rid of the pet first on something as hardy as a brute, because then you can reduce their DPS by a lot. Well it turned out he just had a power slot open and picked it. It wasn’t slotted and he summoned it at the beginning of every duel just to distract his opponent. Again it’s simple but it caught me at the time.

Another one was throwing caltrops behind him but close enough that he wouldn’t dare trying to aid self and lose his a lot of end. I started doing that because instinctively when someone is losing health they start to back up away from their opponent to heal, but Leroy kept a calm mind and saw through that, so instead of backing up into the caltrops even further, he ran past me.

That may sound logically and easy, but in the middle of an intense battle where you need to be aware of every power your opponent uses, both of your health and end bars, and how much time your powers have left to recharge, catching this little stuff is difficult.

Also another one was when I was watching my tohit rolls and the amount of damage he and I were doing to each other, I learned my damage against him was fluxuating, meaning he was toggling a resistance power on and off to keep his end stable. So I timed Build up and made sure all my powers were recharged for when he turned it off to keep his end steady and bursted him to death because the resistance power was off.

And yet another example was almost the same, but I found out my opponent was using wedding band (it was on a fire tank, so I couldn’t tell just from animations), I called him on it and he said he was new and didn’t know he shouldn’t use temps in duels, and then he turned it off.

That’s about 5 or 6 examples of things you need to know to become the best, something that separates a good dueler from a newbie one.

If i truely believed numbers were a factor in a debate, or a matter of opinion, i would have switched to your side by now.

would u mind showing that evidence? i'd love to see whatever you could bring to the table.

I only expect to get interrupted by certain people, i like to believe the majority of people are good and won't bother me.

There is hard core pvp on both sides, both can be easy and both can be hard, it depends on who your going against.

I'm fine with both sides, mostly because i've been a part of both. I enjoy one side more then the other, and *somehow* that defines me.

A lost in my books is different then yours. Kiting around/running and phasing when your low health just to stay alive is a lost imo and always will be. It’s not impressive to never lose in a melee duel if you do that, it’s only impressive to survive standing still, and seeing as a build can’t beat everything, you just haven’t met your weakness yet, or your only playing with the guys from freedom.

I’m not sure how you fight, but I for one do not button mash, and I can assure you any of the good players I’ve seen don’t either. The only difference between the 2 games is using the arrow keys and inspirations. If you really believe dueling is button mashing, how is your play style any different? You really think adding some small boosts and hitting the arrow keys makes your style take much more skill? Not being able to run when your low health makes it a different kind of hard, but being one of the best duelists isn’t as easy as many of you make it sound.

No, I’m a dueler. Dueling and 4v4 are 2 different games. I choose one because I excel at it and because I enjoy it more, I’m not sure why you feel you should ridicule anyone who enjoys playing their game a little differently. I never said dueling was harder, I’m saying that it’s more complex then a lot of you think. Just because I’m good at golf doesn’t mean I’m good at swimming. Both take different skills and one is not ultimately harder then the other. There could be arguments saying one is more difficult, but I believe that it’s equally hard to be the best if the competition is as skilled. Meaning, being the best warzone player would be easy if there weren’t any good warzone players, and being the best FCer would be easy if nobody was good at it, but right now it seems impossible to be the best at both. Even though many of the good players left, good players still exist.

I heard siphon life’s heal wasn’t affected by heal decay, and I’ve never seen it heal something around 70. I’d need to see testing in order to believe anything concerning that now.

You’re forgetting the skill it takes to create a good build, this is one of the reasons I never hand mine out. You can’t just assume equal skill, because it can’t be measured. If a DB/Fire brute fights a Broad sword/regen, it’s the DB/fire brutes experience with that build. He needed skill to make it perfect, he needed skill to learn how to use it and he needs the skill in order to adapt to different situations. You cannot hand a build to someone and expect them to beat people. You need to fully understand why that build was built the way it was and exactly how to use it.

So assuming equal skill also assumes equal builds. And it should be a tie, unless one is completely offensive, in which case one has to win and one has to lose.

I prefer warzone, it's more self-explainitory.

And this is why i try to break up posts, because when someone sees one that equals around 2 pages in word, they skip it.

My idea of fun isn't doing PvE things frequently to be able to participate in pvp.
