Smurch

I'm fine with people who don't want to PVP. I'm not fine with people who get into a PVP battle then cut and run the second things don't go their way.

He was Dark/SS.
I was EM/Elect.

I was somewhere around 20, pre-stamina. He was level 50.

It was the same in WAR, too. The "good guys" spent most of their time running, too. We used to pick them apart endlessly for it, too, as everyone knew it. Order had the reputation of being cowards on our server.

Now, sure I'm sure it happens on both sides, but I don't think it's just a population thing, as I also see alot more trash talk and whining coming from Bluesiders than Red. But that's not really the argument here.

In any case, I have no tolerance for it from anyone. If you get into a PvP fight, finish it. Red or Blue, be a good sport and finish it.

It's some kind of weird mindset of "I cannot lose a fight or I might DIE IN REAL LIFE!!!" It's some kind of false honor where denying your opponent a victory means you "win" when it's just plain jerk behavior.

This game has PvP with no penalty. There's no reason not to give your opponent their deserved victory. It does you no harm at all. You lost in a match, it happens. You be a good sport and you shake hands (figuratively) and go about your day. I don't get the attitude of not being able to handle losing even once. These are the kinds of people I picture tipping over the chessboard as soon as they lose their queen. Sore losers, the lot of them.

I came out of a mission in Bloody Bay once and ended up right in front of a hero, same situation as the OP. High level tanker. I'm a level 20ish brute. He sees me, comes in and starts a fight. I'm like "ok well, lets see how long I can hold out". When I don't instantly drop to the ground and get a lick or two in, he flees! I chase him back to the LB base, and he stays there for a good 5 minutes then leaves the zone.

WTF.

Seems to me like Heroes won't fight unless they have a guaranteed win (and apparently not even then).

I really hate runners in PvP. It's disrespectful to your opponent to start a fight you have no intention of finishing if things don't go instantly your way. If you start a fight, have the backbone enough to finish it.

There was one time I was in Bloody Bay on Smurch (fire/fire dom) when he was still a lowbie, around level 15 or something. I was stealthed (Smurch has stealth) and saw a hero defender doing shivans, dont remember his level but he had at least 10 on me. I snuck up, but one of the guns saw me and shot me, breaking my stealth. I figured the jig was up, and let loose on the defender.

What proceeded was possibly one of the best battles I've had in this game. We fought all over that neighborhood bloody bay for about 10 minutes, with alot of back and forth. In the end, my lack of Endurance floored me, and I landed on the ground with an audible (local chat) "oof!" as he killed me. He said something like "owned" and I said "Poor abused Smurch!" and went back to the hospital.

After I teleported back to the base, I got a tell from the hero-player that he had a great time with that fight. I reciprocated, we congratulated each other on the licks we got in and then I left him to do his shivans feeling pretty good about myself despite the loss.

It's the one time PvP in this game ever lived up to it's promise.

Or maybe just think "expanding disk = GOOD. Go stand by area of Disk".

Yup same here. I rely far more on the buffs bar for myself and the team than I do on any graphics.

Ohh I **NEED** one of those.

/em plot

Don't forget

"Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up. THIS is my BOOMSTICK!"

and

Evil Sheila: "You found me beautiful once"
Ash: "Baby, you got reeeal ugly"

and

"Hail to the king, baby"

In fact, the whole movie.

I don't know. Do you?

Actually I don't think it's AION. I think it's Dragon Age: Origins. The RP Heavy server would be the most likely to suffer from such a character-driven RPG's release. I know when I look at my Steam friends list, almost everyone is In Game: Dragon Age Origins

Don't worry, once the shiny wears off of DA:O, we'll all be back in CoX!

My wife (the arteest in the house) has an attribution/permission requirement, but that's about it. I think she uses creative commons license, but I'm not sure.

My Axe/WP can 0/8 Rikti without breaking a sweat.

My Energy Melee /Electric Armor can 0/8, but breaks a little bit of a sweat (mostly because it takes a bit longer to kill... not as much AoE).

The PVP zones are usually pretty dead, but I know there's alot who do Arena PVP.

Yep, these are better than ALOT of costumes I've seen in-game being played (judging by the bio) by adults.

Many adults can learn from this six year old.

Whatssamatta U?

I'd rather forget who everyone else is. Gives me a chance to meet them again for the first time. How cool is that?

Most likely see her move on with her life while you sit helplessly by unable to do anything about it.

The same something. Day after day after day after day after day...

Hahahahahahahahahah! Hoooohohohohohohoho!

Oh man that's rich!

Yeah, because running across two huge zones three times in a row just to get ONE actual combat mission is SO MUCH BETTER.

I'm on virtue. I got plenty of people red side.

RP reasons. There is no other reason.

Actually, that's a very important difference, because the game is installed on that OS instance.

I doubt it will work unless the application is installed to an OS instance, even if the client resides on the ipod. You'll need to have CoH installed to the OS even if you run it from the iPod.

This.

Take it. Use it. Love it. Be LOVED for it.

But doesn't require you burn a power choice on a completely useless power in order to take, like Tough does.

I've got alot of brutes, and I find tough to be probably the single highest over rated unnecessary power in the game (at least for PVE).

While situational, with some +recharge, you can Power Surge available fairly often. Certainly not 100% of the time, but you don't need it 100% of the time, either, so that's a moot point. As long as it's there when needed, it's decidedly useful

Yep, that's true.
