Not gonna happen. What people seem to forget is the whole point of I13: to make newbies good.

Think about it. AS is arguably the hardest thing in the game to do. I mean, in a game where all you have to do to attack someone is click a button, having to be right next to someone for a good couple seconds (5-8 secs with Freedom's lag) puts AS on a different level from everything else.

In my opinion, the fact that AS is weak and sharks are strong is completely intended. It makes newbies less dependant on the most skillful thing in the game, and more dependent on pretty much the easiest. This makes I13 a success. Newbies become better than they're supposed to be.

Good luck getting the devs to go back on their entire goal of I13....a goal they willingly lost like 70% of the PvP community to attain.

People here don't need excuses. People tried playing traps in CoH a long time before you did, and they realized they suck a long time ago. You're the one making ridiculous claims, so you're the one that should prove it. Kind of like Columbus. He didn't ask all of Europe to prove to him that the Earth was flat, because HE was the one making the crazy claim that it's round. So he ended up proving his point.

So please, for everybody's sake, be Columbus. Come to Freedom, and "teach" all of us how amazing traps are in PvP. I know you totally failed at that last time you were on Freedom (hence the existence of this thread), but maybe the 2nd time will work better.

Actually target #1 tends to be the person that is easiest to kill.

VEAT kb protection is broken. It was not fixed in the recent kb fix, so it completely suppresses from any mez.....just like all toggle kb protection did for a few issues.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to have a rule requiring people to show up for at least ONE practice in order to be eligible for match play? Sure, D6 is "just for fun", but that doesn't mean people should be completely incompetent.

Requiring one practice is obviously not a big commitment, but it would at least help clueless people become less clueless.

It doesn't seem fair to the people who are truly trying to have some guy show up one total time, literally lose the match for his team, and then never show up again.

99% of the PvP community agrees with this. Unfortunately, the devs don't care. They decided that the entire "crowd control" system should be all or nothing.

At least it's consistent. Just how Fly can be completely stopped by using one of 50 different powers, an actual player can be stopped by using one of 100 different powers (any mez).....and there is absolutely nothing he can do about it, regardless of how good he is at the game. It's the epitome of "all or nothing".

Suuuuure. You're probably flying as you type that!

Give him a break...he's probably busy flying around in RV. Yes, he's a scrapper with fly. I saw him and lol'd.

lol I feel bad for that therm.

lol you mean 200 times this month. Seriously skeet, we're all tired of arguing about it. If you really think I13 was good, great for you. You're wrong, but nobody really cares about proving you wrong anymore.

lol wtf, did they really bring 8 scrappers with fly or something?

Perfect explanation.

The number of people you should be able to get away from varies...or at least used to vary, based on skill. Like mac said, 2 people could roll the zone if they were significanlty better than the rest of the players. And that's how it should be.

Now it's laughable to even think that could happen. You could have the best 2 players in CoH history, and if they're outnumbered like 10 to 2, they will get completely wrecked by complete newbies....because that is how the game is designed now.
