You're kidding, right?

[/ QUOTE ]

I am not kidding.Apparently its not so unethical as you think.

To save you the trouble from reading 20 pages this is a bug that was posted,discussed and researched for a while prior to i12 launch and involved a SERIOUS bug that allowed you to know exactly which mobs would produce what drops.Further more you could manipulate the drops using supergroup mode.

Small example was farming Tavish Bell mission was possible to farm within 6 seconds 2 salvage drops and 1 recipe perma allowing you to farm insane amounts of rare salvage and recipes.

The point is that forum merge doesnt improve communication enough to justify it.In fact it breaks stuff more.

Doesnt say anything to be honest.A simple bug report would work as well unless Support and QA are [censored].Only difference is that by posting it on the forum you get the chance to get the Bughunter badge.

Posting game-breaking bugs at public place is unethical and wrong, badge or no badge.
It should be dealt only with /bug reporting.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok and your point is?Because i am not the one that linked this thread as supportive evidence that forum threads reporting bugs are increased means of communication between the devs and community.

Also an animation with combat log desync is not game breaking.As far as Exploits goes afaik the policy for most MMO's is not to post how to reproduce the exploit.

As for communicating with devs bug reports reach their destination anyways.

[/ QUOTE ]
Then why there are threads like this and people don't just fill in bug reports?

Also people dont just fill bug reports because for some people getting a red name to post in their thread or converse with one is the equivelant of getting Lara Croft naked in their bed.

The result of posting a bug on the forum and just bug report something is the same.

For me the community impact for such a thing would be huge and would just make EU community vanish within US one.

While i am all for Server merging forum merging is a big no no in my opinion.Would break community hardcore style and any sense of community that exists atm would be broken down to individual server forums and vanish.

People that wanna get extra info through US forums already manage that anyways.As for communicating with devs bug reports reach their destination anyways.

for got to add if they dont target buffers debuffers

a) there stupid
b) there nubs
c) they want a challenge and they are both the above 'a' and 'b'

[/ QUOTE ]

This is not true with teams that know what they are doing.

EDIT: Also tbh i never seen you in a PvP zone SC/WB/RV so you must be mistaking bloody bay with RV maybe.

I think any guide posted up by Illusion Master/The Phantoms pretty much speak for themselves, and as said deserve a thread to themselves :P

i think it sucks that it has only ever been done once! and that was on the USA servers

Ummm, who told you that it was only done once?

[/ QUOTE ]

Who told you it wasn't

[ QUOTE ]
Why are defenders and trollers not killed on sight?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because either

a)the villains u saw are clueless about PvP and are the usual SC newbies that stay there because they know in lvl 50 pvp zones is where the big boys play

b)The tanker had them all taunted.

i take answer a to be honest.

In general tho target calling within experienced pvp teams starts from

1.identify soft targets
2.Prioritize based on importance
3.Check for lowest HP target
4.Call the target.

Well for some weird reason i started going through threads since CoV launch and forum was wiped.And went back and had a look at some of the "Diamond" threads that sprung up on these forums. I spent 30 min laughing with this (dunno if it was due to alcohol).

So have some threadomancy comedy moments and if you could dig up some more would be awsome

Pyra cannot fire her power OHNOES!

That thread made me laugh so hard the dogs ran away.

Dead Calm's Defender Manifesto

DC rocked my world with this post in creative section and i know its linked in his sig but due to not spamming the forums enough not many people get the chance to read this jewel.

Plight accusing Bridger....of being a bridge...

Whoever didnt get to see Plights posts trust me was a whole other language.

Constantly replying to someone who has you on ignore is harrassment.

[/ QUOTE ]

Considering that i am the original poster and Shannon posted a bunch of arguements which i only counter argued i dont think so.Also considering i havent posted anything derogatory or harassing i dont see any harassment at all.I am fine with being ignored but cant prevent me from posting my arguement on a debate.

Ignore User function is not a silence button.

What is it that most other MMO's have atm (amongst many things) that CoX doesnt have?! Mounts!!

[/ QUOTE ]
What does CoX have that no other MMOs have? Travel Powers, do you really think that given a choice between Super Speed or a fast camel anyone would bother with a fast camel?

I love my fast grey ram in WoW, but I'd bathe in its blood and sacrifice all the dwarven babies for super jump.

[/ QUOTE ]

Im not suggesting a Camel, Ram, War Tigers, Elekks or any other animal .. As i said im suggesting to Ride the sidekick!!! What travelpower the SK chooses is up to them!

[/ QUOTE ]

That would be an awsome idea but i would be looking only for tall blonde with baywatch proportions sidekicks to travel around.

a bit complicated.

G15 keyboard+G9 mouse but for CoH/MMO's lately i use belkin nostromo.

Mouse inverted always.Right handed.

Generally i use macros that execute different powers based on clicks wherever possible.Single click aim for example double click BU.

I don't know how many times you need to be told but I can't read your posts.

[/ QUOTE ]

First of all i dont need to be told because i dont care.Second of all if you dont read the post made i suggest not respond to it without knowing the content.Cause well its just dumb.

[ QUOTE ]
I can read everyone elses. However if for once you can comprehend what I am saying in its proper light and express valid counter arguements to it then great.

[/ QUOTE ]

That is hilarious.Bother to read next time instead of writting a bunch of random stuff.

If you find CoH/V a grind then you're doing something very wrong

[/ QUOTE ]

Compared to other similar MMO level up models (WoW,AoC) the level up process is about the same grind.200-250 hours.

[ QUOTE ]
I was just wondering what would work the best strike vs spin from a pvp/pve point of view.

[/ QUOTE ]

Dont PvP with a night widow.Simple as that.Fortunata is 100 times better for pvping with a VEAT.Awsome solo if u can fit in aid self and unbelievable in teams.

What about having sub-forums? Like clicking on the "Player Questions" link would expand it to sub-headings like "Powerset/Build Questions", "Badge Hunting Questions", "Technical Questions" and so on?

[/ QUOTE ]

So when you got a powerset/build question you dont know where to put it.Subforum of questions or the related AT forum. Technical question you put it in the question subforum or the technical forum..

Too much specialization is not a good thing ends up getting lost in detail.Only really necessary forums that need to be added i think is a Market forum and even that prolly merge it with inventions.

Dude seriously.Either you do it on purpose or you are joking i dont know whats up....

Have you even tried to google what UBB is before posting?

[ QUOTE ]
Just read reply of yours TG and I have to say I totally disagree with. Concept builds just should have as much chance as any one else in PVP other wise you just get uber builds like ranged specked spines regen or what ever the uber PVP set is at the mo.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh,i think you misunderstood me.I am cool with people pvping with Concept builds.For example i PvPed with a military sniper build on defiant Assault/Devices that was a concept build.However i didnt expect to not die a gazillion times and i didnt expect PvP to be easy or viable with that character.In other words its fine and dandy if people want to use concept builds to PvP but dont expect the game to be balanced around that.PvP will always be about number crunching and viability as well as counting in every little detail because that is the nature of it.Its highly competitive when you go against human AI.

I dont expect a *Flame on* Fire/fire/Fire blaster with fly to annihilate everyone in PvP because "you know who i pretend to be and he is THAT AWSOME from a character and concept point of view".

[ QUOTE ]
I do think its ashame that not many people have tried proper team PvP

[/ QUOTE ]

^This.Altho my huge gripe is with PvP UI being totally disfunctional.No target calling options (need macro workarounds) no distinct target painting tools or at least a powerset or epic pool that allows target painting and is available for all sets.

[ QUOTE ]
ST >>>> AoE
Burst >>>>> Sustained (as you say, particularly for melee)
DoT is weak
Aid Self is Strong / Necessary
Phase Powers is Strong

[/ QUOTE ]

I have to disagree with you on this one for a simple reason.

Burst damage will ALWAYS be king in PvP.The choice that the devs got to make is simple.

Buff burst damage for team pvp and give way to mitigate it in teams or buff it for 1vs1 and render mass spiking as the no 1 choice for teams.If the devs decide to walk the way of mass spiking they need to provide proper targeting and team pvp collaboration tools cause atm the UI and general interface sucks hard for PvP and is the most unfriendly one i have ever seen.

Sustained damage is not viable for pvping no matter what.Its not useful to have it because rule of thumb is the more prolonged a fight is the more it balances against you.

Burst damage is counterable through silence effects (cage) in this game.The problem is that while in other games silence effects are available to solo viable toons (mages/priests for example in WoW) in CoX its a specific team role you need to build around.And this is the thing about CoX.You need a partner to go into zones and be somehwat effective.

DoTs are not viable and will never be due to huge amount of spike heals available.

I have to say aid self as a necessity is a misconception.Strong regen in zones can be viable as well.,Brightest example i can provide is my Blaster that was build around heavy regen and with no aid self and had no problem in zones surviving even tho with low hp and having to use terrain and stealth use to survive.

Phase Powers are good at the moment with the recent changes i think.

The number one mechanic that needs HUGE but HUGE fixing in PvP is melee.Its broken,its useless,its worthless due to mobility.CoX is probably the ONLY pvp MMO where range is the king.(well ok i have to say EVE matches that too).Melee has no way to counter range.No cripple effects,no rush blows that stun without resistance and so on.Melee needs a hardcore change mechanic for PvP.Needs powers that can close distance between ranged toons and also cripple their mobility effect with Speed boost being the only modifier to this and still not 100% modifier.Tanks and Scrapper need to be given more roles in team rather than Tauntbots and to be given unresisted cripple effects.This alone will sort out a huge gap between range and melee.
