Well speaking to a few globals had a fair bit of interest for some low lvl skirmishes in either BB or SC will try to arrange something for sundays maybe, in the afternoons or something or in the evenings so that ppl without toons that can partake in shipraids etc have something they can bring their low toons along to.
Hopefully may get a few ppl into it from the ground up.
Its all very well ppl moanin about ppl moaning etc which is fair nuff after the change to pvp but always goin on about top end pvp seems to me to be pointless, as most ppl who would have tried it, im guessing got put off by it at a lower lvl. As not everyone is gonna have a 40+ toon for regular pvp nights in RV all the time. and it seems to me that most of the complaints seem to be aimed at top end pvp.
Will see if i can drum up a bit more interest first tho, before anything is arranged -
Not often i post on the forums, but i recently came back to the game after a few months without playing and decided to see if the pvp had picked up any since the last time i was on. Nope!
after reading a few other posts etc that people who try pvp tend not to like it cos of the uber builds etc and a bit of ganking griefing from the said uber builds.
So i was just wondering maybe if more zone pvp took place somewhere like Bloody bay it may attract a few more people into the zones. Plus i have so many toons now that i dont often use i thought maybe if ppl had a similiar amount of toons they dont use much it might also be fun to use em for some casual friendly (hopefully) pvp.
I remember when the zones first came into the game and Bloody bay was by far the most popular zone for the first month or so and i gotta say i had some of my best pvp experiences in there.
Then when a few of my toons and other peoples advanced in lvls and powerups, it all moved to sirens and again i had alot of fun pvping there.
It just seems not enough pvp happens in these zones any more i know ppl have said bloody bay is too big and sirens has too many NPCs etc but thats always been the case, but i still remember some awesome pvp in those zones. I think i may be rambling now so what im basically saying is would ppl, pvpers or just ppl who havent dabbled or who have and been turned off by the uber builds would be interested in some sort of regular event for the low lvl pvp as i think it may help get some new blood into pvping. Anyways just an idea.
Just give it a chance thats all i ask XD
:O and this is aimed mostly at defiant players as i have no idea what pvp union side is like bar a few trips to RV there with my only 50 on the zone. -
on my archery/device blaster i six slotted aim with 5 from adj. targeting and the chance for build up from gaussian sync. works a treat
-
As far as blastin goes i personnaly have no problem with defiance, i think it can b used to gr8 effect in pve as much as in pvp at ne lvl of the game, especially in teams and used with large AoEs on large mobs, i mean yeah u might die doin it but sometimes the sacrifice for the team can b worth it after all blasters are heroes and sometimes heroes sacrifice themselves to save their teamates right?
On the other hand, if i think of someone being defiant, i tend to think of situations where ppl have stood defiant in the face of overwhelmin odds, such as rourkes drift or the battle of britain, so may b as an alternative instead of dealin more dmg, which in my opinion is more like goin into some sort of beserk rage like a cornered animal, the defianced blasters defence shld b increased the more dmg he takes, makin him harder to hit but meanin that when he does get hit hes goin down. to me thats more like being defiant than doin more dmg the weaker u get -
First id say give caltrops a chance in my opinion its a gr8 power to have at the lvl u get it and at later stages in the game if slotted with recharges and used with haste can b very effective for extra DoT. for doin as much dmg as u can with AR id suggest not takin buck shot for a while, handy for KB but thats bout it. Targeting drone is a must to stack with tactics and u wont really need to slot for acc which opens up that extra slot in the AR attacks.
Stealth suit is handy for the extra defence and combined with smoke grenade can b pretty useful. as ignite goes not much point takin it if u dont have cals in my opinion.
beanbag is a must tho and if tazer is rnaged now im so respeccin it into my pvp buikd XD
On the 3 last secondary powers id suggest forgettin bout time bomb and turret, time bomb is to slow and takes to much time to use effectively and if in team is pointless,until the timer has been cut down to 5 seconds or to a remote detonation time bomb will b gimped. turret is pretty useless now u cant tp it about. trip mine is handy however, gr8 for surprisin stalkers in pvp when combined with caltrops (assumin u can see them, which is another good reason to take tactics and target drone)
and also gr8 for defendin yourself in PVE again with cals if slotted right and used right u can do uber dmg with mines
hope that helps a lilas for travel power flys always safest for blasters whether for PvP or PvE

If u gonna b goin into the zones for your pvp id suggest takin Web nade, caltrops, Targeting Drone and trip mines. Imho they r the 4 main powers to take, stealth is good but i found that having that as an extra toggle power is kinda end heavy with the Drone. Plus if u wanna use the devices for stalker huntin id suggest takin tactics to as it will help u see pretty much all stalkers (in which case another reason not to take stealth)
Plus if you have set up a lot of mines u WANT that brute or stalker to see u standin there so they get close to the mines. so no point in stealth til around the 30s assumin that is that u gonna b in sirens more than the later zones -
Yeah Thats if they work, ive used them a while in pvp and assaults placate resistance seems non-existant, as does the other bonuses save for tactics perception which is always handy.
Maybe its just me. i tend to go die quick at the hands of certain stalkers. U kno who u r!!
and dont forget to get your free tea -
AR/DEV team huh?! Just make sure u save me a spot stalk
-
Tactics huh? Well a good one i like to use, or liked to use(i miss my jingle jet ';(
Was when flyin high and chasin a villain, use beanbag hopefully if it hits it will detoggle their fly so they take fall dmg, then switch off my own fly so i take fall dmg, if high enuff it should raise my defiance so a kwik snipe or slug will finish them off. Ez! tho it is risky in that u might land them in the middle of some npc's and u too when u fall to the ground, but so far i dont think i have caused debt doin it. tho i do try to b careful doin it. -
Woot!! at last ppl have cottoned on! There should be more ar/dev blasters about, my advice to ne 1 makin 1 is select fly as the travel power, sniping in the air is a god send agnst stalkers.
Oh and agnst low lvl stalkers perception or not i can c them with just td.
