To be honest the righteous way to play CoX is getting naked rub yourself top to bottom with jello (strawberry please) and enjoy that gaming experience.

I am sure you all experienced it once and saw the true gaming light.

Yet missing the FACT that the Devs have said that farming is not how they wished ppl to play the game completely goes over your head.

In that case i am sure the devs are very unhappy with badgehunters which is the case we are talking about with all the lame "afk in pvp zones,afk farming gladiators,afk farming damage badges,farming badge missions" and so on and so on.

Badgehunters shame on you for not playing the game the way devs intended.

my other half had a tell from a moron who shall remain nameless, who wanted him to go into PVP so the guy could kill him over and over just to get his PVP badge.

[/ QUOTE ]

So this rant is actually about Badgehunting hitting a new low and not really farming which has nothing to do with your rant.

I am pretty sure tho that the can of worms has been opened and the usual "OMG FARMAGEDDON!" will commence soonish.

So i ll have some popcorn as well.

I got little experience with Energy primary so will avoid comment on that.However some other observations.

SS needs to be taken a lot earlier.At 14 at least.You NEED combat jumping,Super Jump and acrobatics for PvP on a blaster.Dont step in a PvP zone without those its game over pretty much from start.Swift is unecessary drop it fro something more useful in my opinion.Slot a bit more superspeed could go for a +hp set with 3 slots and get some -end drain as well.From my experience i go with at least 2-3 slots in hurdle.For all my toons.

Sniper Blast.Totally useless in PvP zones.Really long animation and easily interrupted is a very situational power.

Power Thrust.--> I LOVE this power.6 slotted it and it rocks in PvP zones atm especially against ninjitsu stalkers and people with low kb protection.

Hibernate + Phaseshift is useless now. The 60 second supression since i12 made the use of these 2 together non efficient.I would drop phase to be honest cause it would make room for 2 powers.

Boost range : Get this.Its a big must for blasting.

Thats all i can contribute and is only my personal experience from within PvP zones.

Congratz Cyn!Nurses for you now

Yep yep sounds good fun will defo be there.

Soon™ buddy!

On a more serious note, we'll be ready for SG arena pretty soon I should imagine, we have a relatively decent amount of buffers, just need to organize them into teams.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nice matey! Well finally some action.Let us know woop woop arena ftw

Dude the Emp/sonic is a joke between me and petitioned it was mainly a PWNZ style challenge so we get some SG arena going since you guys need the practise and we need to dust our toons off a bit.

The nubs is in a friendly atmosphere.Point is lets do some arena cause it seems things are getting awfuly slow.Arrange a date or place and so on to practise about.

[ QUOTE ]
And yes many off uss has blasters, surprised? we are a bunch off solo pvp´rs that just formed an SG, so if you think we have a "imba" arena pvp team ready you are way wrong.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually the roll support toons comes from a discussion with prince where we were talking about you guys needing to roll support toons and add some depth.I aint surprised what soever.

Jeeeeesh

Now lets get some SG practise matches within the month.

This is a friendly challenge to an SG with some good people in it for some arena action.But this is the PvP forum so has the appropriate wording.

On a serious note we would like some 5vs5 and up if any SG is up for it.

[ QUOTE ]
This thread is about as useful as this reply...

[/ QUOTE ]

This thread is in the PvP forum and is a challenge to an arena match.But yeah your response is useless like u said since you aint member of Resistance.

*EDITED due to bad wording*

So you gonna finally bring a team to PvP or you turned into a PvE SG?There is at least 15-20 people in your SG even after a merger that went on and you are still avoiding SG arena.So how about you guys line up some team for arena before we actually reach issue 21413253423245634565.

Cause so far aint seen any action just merger after merger going on.

And yeah this is a challenge for this week/month and not the year 2030.

Love and kisses

Vindicate (the original one not the Vindicatori copycat nubcakes).

PS: Stop levelling blasters nubcakes.

PS 2: Dont worry we gonna buy you ice cream once we done wiping arena floors with you (please pray its not cargo map will hurt your booteh)

PS 3: Emp/sonix uber team is welcome too to lol a bit.

Interesting to hear about Fury.I was part of early closed beta testing till release.I like the concept a lot and seemed to be on a good way but then something went wrong and also i was very dissapointed with game engine at some point.

[ QUOTE ]
what is it that fundamentally makes a game suitable for e-sports?

[/ QUOTE ]

Interesting question and i think is the essence of what will turn an MMO into an E-Sport.

I think its a variety of elements.

One has to be player base.Very very important having a large player base that will turn the game into a trend.Both GW and WoW as well as any other E-Sport game till now have been massive trends within the Gaming community.

Second of all has to be profit potential.Sponsors need to see the potiential of creating brand awareness through this kind of sport.Giving it some more thought i think that the brand awareness for Gaming related products and even PC products will be much higher through a successful MMO turning into an E-Sport with the appropriate coverage.

This is also directly related to player base.

Another thing has to be media collaboration.The new MMO TV i think will be a perfect platform for expanding this kind of competition.GW gamers had to follow matches in game to be able to watch. MMO TV will expand the audience without making the actual game a necessity but will also make a good advertising platform.

Finally we come to mechanics.

I think is essential that E-Sport should boil down to pure skill,preparation and tactics both individually and within a team.

So this means gear should be eliminated or be given a variety of gear that will be part of the tactical preparation of teams. (seems to work for GW this scheme)

And finally something i believe is equally important.Reward reward reward.Its what drives competitive players and is what will make teams/guilds/individuals invest time and make it worthwhile for them to participate in such a thing.

Giving out baseball cups or whatnot as rewards or even in game items i think is not enough considering the amount of effort e-athletes will put into preparation which is pretty stressful even if we are talking about a game.

Anyway enough rambling looking forward to reading the blog.

So many people have talked the talk, but no one has yet implemented effectively.

Well i think its not really possible in the MMO genre to create something that will become an e-sport in terms of competition. Mainly because the developers are interested in capturing variety of player groups and view them in the traditional way of PvE and non PvE.Very few MMO's have dared to pull a pure PvP MMO and ones that did didnt have enough backup to go all the way through ---> Fury.

The only MMO at the moment that has put some serious candidate of taking over the MMO PvP and push it forward is Warhammer which centers around a good mix of competitiveness in all areas starting on an individual level in World PvP and taking it up to organised Guild PvP as well a step further to real and meaningful Realm vs Realm.

I expect to see some great things from Mythic regarding the PvP genre and i already seen a lot already (if u know what i mean)

As far as esports tho dont think MMO is possible to make it all the way there just yet mainly cause MMO still rely on the roll dice element rather than tactical skill or twitch and micro skill that FPS requires.

Maybe one day tho.I would be interested to

EDIT: I strongly think that any MMO that wants to become an esport has to capture the Chinese gamers.Since they are the ones leading esports competitions in my opinion.

AV's/EB's guarding bases would be far better.Make the spawn point in closed space accessible only to exit from it and not vice versa and drones no longer needed. Of course afterwards they would need to sort out the crappy PvP zones.

I will use the environment to defend myself and that means all NPCs within it. To win zones, when playing them for what they are, NPCs can play an important part anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

Using environment and NPC's are 2 totally different things.However the bottomline is that the devs built the PvP in CoX with PvE in mind.Hence the insane amount of PvE mobs in the zone which is utter [censored].

Have a look at any good PvP MMO.Only NPC's in zones are vendors and control point guards which are far better solution than turrets ([censored] turrets,if you cant zerg whats the point) and Drones.Drones are one of the worse things in a PvP game i have ever seen. Insta defeat capabilities are ftl.

Winning zones should never be down to NPC's should be down to tactics,player skill and group organization as well as build and effort.

This is why CoX PvP while a great potential remained only a great potential.Because the developers designed with Hello Kitty online approach and not with real PvP prospect.And thats why PvP community will move on if things dont change drastically now that excuses are over (cash backup,expanded development team and so on).

Besides competition is big and soon will be even bigger considering CO will have proper PvP designed from ground up (and one of the developers involved is a massive PvP addict so expectations are great) not to mention Warhammer that is going to be THE PvP game.

If NCNC not mind losing its PvP community because its so small like all the PvE people keep using as an arguement and their sub numbers keep increasing with this unbelievable rate (notice the sarcasm) then i guess they can keep ignoring PvP part of the game and not capitalize on it for more PvPers to be drawn into it.

My belief is CoX at its current state has maximised its potential in drawing people for its PvE.Never touched the PvP potential and its a shame.

Cant wait to see if they are going to revamp Galaxy City next which is in SUCH GREAT need for a revamp.

Now excuse me i got to go farm SO's in Sirens Call and after that need to get that really useful PvP badge.

Mind Link is working properly DB however needs a lot of +recharge in build to go near perma.Right now i think on top of my head i am about 45-60 seconds downtime not really sure tho will need to double check.

For those that wanna read it

Pretty interesting read to be honest caught me thinking over it.I wish there was some Developer that had same orientation regarding PvP.Unfortunately in CoX only GR and Ex Libris are the ones that seem to give PvP any thought.

for the record i do like both Competitive PvP but only within group that requires tactical thinking and not so much solo where cookie cutters come in place.I love my open world pvp tho as well

Psi primary is ok.Mental manipulation for pvp = no no.

Pretty much energy is the only secondary that can really make a difference for PvP.

so creative!

if you're refering to my build then it's for both farming and mishs

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah i see.I was just asking cause i was puzzled by some slotting but since its for missions too never mind all good.

Its a lot of inf indeed.Good luck with it

I hope this is not a build aimed for farming and its just for casual PvE cause thats an awful waste of cash there for a farming build

Before family got nerfed i did the family farm in 10-11 minutes 6 man spawn solo, not exactly slow is it now TG?

[/ QUOTE ]

Its not fast.Its average due to it being average.Also is not versatile to farm a variety of mobs.Like SRM said 6-7 minutes is what i would consider fast based on the average times we cleared maps.


If the build works for you all fine and well.But is not a build i would recommend to a beginner to make or anyone looking for an efficient and cheap farm build.There are better options in my opinion and experience only of course.
