    new pvp drops

    I've had 3 drops since they "fixed" it. All 3 fury of the glad.

    1 proc
    1 quad
    1 dmg/recharge

    Made a sweet 500mil selling them.
  2. Do I get in trouble for impersonating a officer? I've done this a few times myself already.

    BC can get too... fite klubby for my tastes. Its my version of a chat filter.

    PvP Set Bonuses

    They do count as the same. I remember reading a post a few weeks ago where someone tested it out. They already had 5 +hp bonuses and the 6th bonus from a pvp set wasn't giving them the extra hp.
  4. Most people I see on fire tanks suck. People say its really good for beginners, but I don't see the proof to back it up. What I do see is people rolling fire/ss because they hear its really good, get torn apart on a constant basis and shelve the toon for a */regen scrapper.

    Personally I only think fire/ss is made to look good by good pvpers.

    Does Flurry still have silly high damage in PvP?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yes, but only the fite klubers use it. Flurry does about the same damage as knock out blow in pvp.

    Never thought I'd see the day when flurry would need a nerf. It kinda tells you something about the new pvp system...
  6. Rage and a ranged attack.

    Not to mention the fact that it doesn't take a week and a half to finish one attack chain on ss.

    They should just add something called Electric Surge which acts like Healing Flames..

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Agreed, but the extras like a strong tier 9, end drain protection, a +recharge +speed auto power, kb/teleport protection, a fast recharge pbaoe end drain AND a healing flames clone would be a little much if you ask me.

    Something like reconstruction with a 80 second base recharge timer would be a little more reasonable. Either that or a fast healing clone or a auto HP power. Personally I'd prefer the self heal over the other 2.

    Graphic Problem

    Something strange is happening to one of my computers. My gf had the computer pretty bogged down so I saved all the important stuff to a external drive and did a complete system recovery. Everything went well and the computer ran much better, but then I came across this problem when I ran CoH.

    Some of the text graphics are warped and don't show properly, but everything else works just fine. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall the game and the same thing happened. I never had this issue before the recovery and I'm a little confused.

    Has anyone ever seen this before or know of a fix? Makes me wish I just left the computer how it was

    In my opinion this should have been a option from the get go, but for all pvp zones and not just sirens.

    new pvp drops

    Yeah it looks like they upped the drop rate considerably. I've had 2 pvp ios drop in the last 2 days and I've pvp'd maybe 2-3 hours total. My brother got one as well. Thing is all three were fury of the gladiator...

    I don't know why they didn't mention the drop rate increase in the patch notes. Maybe we're just really really lucky.
  11. I was originally thinking 1000 but since its a permanent power and you usually have to bend over backwards to get those I figured 1000 wouldn't be enough. Then again a zone TP isn't that great of a power. Maybe 1000 would be better.
  12. I haven't seen this suggested anywhere on the forum before so I figured I'd submit it here. Since the RWZ already has the vanguard merit system with various temps and costume parts, why not add a RWZ transporter?

    If this power was made available I'd make it like the current Market transporter or a permanent temp like the bonus pack powers. When you use the temp it will transport you somewhere inside the vanguard base.

    Permanent RWZ TP Temp 1 hour cool down (5000 vanguard merits)
    Limited RWZ TP Temp: 3 uses (200 vanguard merits)

    Personally I'd go for the perma temp. I think it would be a good way to promote more mother ship raids. I know they arent in short supply now (at least on my server), but more couldnt hurt.

    Any suggestions or ideas? Is this idea good or garbage? All constructive comments are welcome.

    On another good note, I can see purples going down in price thanks to this change.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Hopefully. But that depends on how they implement this. They could very well be planning on putting in some type of limit on drops.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I was thinking the same thing. Making the drop rate adjust by some ratio based on real vs 'fake' teammates.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, it is risk vs reward correct? Upping the spawn size adds a substantial risk in my books. More risk = more reward.

    Hopefully they see it the way I do

    Dom "Fix"

    So it sounds like the dom nerf is pretty noticeable, correct?

    Anyone on the tail end of a dom butt whippin' notice a difference?

    Dom "Fix"

    Seems like Dom's damage was scaled down today in the latest patch. Anyone in zone noticing a difference in the damage output? I cant check for at least another 4-5 hours and I'm curious to see if the difference is even noticeable. Any zone pvpers get a chance to test it out?

    Thank you Devs

    I see the main benefits for PvErs is that PvP IO's exemp down like purples, and some have good set bonuses. Purple superior bonuses are a much higher percentage then the PvP IO's. Its when you enter the PvP zones you see the major benefit of 2 set bonus come to play. So yes, in PvP they are great sets, arguably better then purple sets. In PvE I think purples are much better.

    After this "fix" I see the sales dwindling to a short supply making these things available to only the billionaires. Here's hoping I'm dead wrong.

    Thank you Devs

    I have 2 sets on my scrapper that are getting gutted and thrown on the market once everyone knows that the drops were in fact nerfed.

    Its funny how many people don't know about the pvp io drop nerf yet and still think its just a bug. I'm holding onto mine until it goes live and people see how horrid this "fix" really is.

    I'm sure the RMT'ers are happy about the nerf. Large groups of organized people will be the ones that reap the 1bil rewards shown in the OP.
  23. I was under the assumption that the 20+ was a guess or rough estimate and not a "compulsive lying problem".

    Then again, what do I know

    Your views on PvP are less informed than something Super Deveron would write up in five minutes.

    Super Deveron is a PvP guru. Look at him beat 2 brutes at once. Best PvPer eva!!!1!1
  25. There are pvp IO's that have a chance for repel resistance, but after the pvp io drop "fix" you'll be lucky if you can get a good set for under a billion.
